COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

The advices from the manufacturing districts in
the North of England generally describe trade as
being quiet, the Christmas holidays having, as
usual, interfered with business. At Bradford a
fair demand exists for wools, yarns, and pieces,
and full rates are current. In Manchester the
spinners and manufacturers have large orders on
hand for delivery during the spring, and full quo-
tations will no doubt be supported. The Notting-
ham firms have been occupied in the completion of
orders from the United States, but the home in-
quiry is limited.
The commercial accounts from the United States
report increased stringency in the money market,
but no alteration of importance had occurred in
the rates. The market for public securities, after
the recent excitement, had become comparatively
quiet, and prices had generally receded.
From Mexico the accounts are favourable, inas-
much as the revolutionists at Puebla had suc-
cumbed to the Government forces. It is therefore
anticipated that order will soon be restored, and
that the remittances of silver, which have been
prevented by the unsettled state of affairs, will
now be resumed.

In Lombard-street, and at the Bank of Eng-
land, the inquiry for discount accommodation is
less active, but there is no diminution in the rates.
Six per cent. is still the minimum rate, but the
supply having increased less difficulty is found in
obtaining capital.
The market for Public Securities has been ex-
ceedingly dull all the morning, but the quotations
have remained without variation. In Foreign
Stocks and Railways, as well as in English Secu-
rities, the dealings, both real and speculative, are
very much circumscribed, but when the January
dividends are paid, more animation will no doubt
be experienced. Consols have been 94 to 941 for
the Bth inst., and 94-i for February. The New
3 per Cents. are 94l 1, the Reduced 9,n Ex-
chequer Bills 3s. premium, and India Bonds ls.
discount.

Foreign Securities have undergone very little
change. Turkish 6 per Cents, are 954 /, and the
4 per Cents. were steady. Portuguese 3 par Cents.
are 43i ex div. Belgian 44 per Cents. 964, and
Dutch 21 per Cents. 644.
Messrs. D. Bell, Son, and Co., report—that
during the past week the market for American
Securities has been devoid of all animation, and
prices are without any material change :

In the Railway Share Market this morning the
transactions have been very limited, and a decline
generally of about I to / per cent. has taken place
on yesterday's quotations. Great Western, how-
ever, have been still further depressed, the decline
being fully 1 per cent. Caledonian, Brighton,
north Western, Midland, North Eastern Berwick,
and South Eastern declined about 55., and South
Western 15s. The French Lines are at almost
nominal prices. Grand Trunk of Canada receded
about 2i., Great Western of Canada 55., and the
East Indian 11. to 11. ss.

In Joint Stock Bank Shares a moderate business
has been done, but the quotations have in almost
all instances given way to a slight extent. Bank
of Australasian declined 15i. Union of Australia,
however, declined 11.

Miscellaneous Shares are without material alte.
ration.
