There are not any arrivals of importance in the City
this morning.
We have received the monthly Circular of Messrs.
Ferguson and Taylor, of Manchester, relative to the state
of the manufacturing trade of that important district. It
states, and most truly, that as far as respects Continental
demand this is the dullest season of the year, shippers
to the northern parts of Europe having suspended
their operations for the present year. Prices have,
however, continued steady for most descriptions of goods
A strong feature, indicative of prosperity, is, that new
mills are in the course of erection in the vicinity of
Manchester, and that old ones are being enlarged.
The Circular then states thus :—" Early in the new
year a large increase in the means of supple►
will be thus brought into operation, and it remains
to be seen what effect this will have on demand and
prices. For the present, the great bulk of our pro •
ducers are engaged with contracts which will carry them
into February. The turn of the year will doubtless, as
usual, bring the 'orders which have been withheld into
the market; and as stocks are most likely to be exceed-
ingly low, prices will have a tendency to advance.
Meantime, it is expected cotton will continue to further
recede."

It will be observed, by an announcement in our ad-
vertising columns, that the third portion of the Canada
Guaranteed Loan is to be bid for on Friday next. This
loan is a great favourite with the principal capitalists of
the City. Its proceeds are wholly to be devoted to the
extension of public works in the Canadas. The Deben-
tures pay 4 per cent., and those already issued are worth
1131 to 114.
There is a great scarcity of Consols in the Stock Ex-
change to-day. Jobbers are fearful of selling even
1,0001., lest the price may rise upon them before the
transfer can be completed. Consols for the Account are
at 1014, and for Money at 101, each being higher than
at the close of business on Saturday afternoon. The
New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. are very firm at
1024 ; and Reduced Three per Cents. at a rise from 994
to 1004. Exchequer Bills, India Bonds, and Bank
Stock, are rather cheaper to-day.
A great deal of business has been effected in the Fo-
reign Stocks to-day. It is fully expected that the attempt
of Zurbano to excite revolt will be soon entirely put
down. The Active Spanish Bonds have advanced to
244 4, and the Three per Cents, from 354 to 364 4, and
the Passive Bonds to 6/. For Portuguese Converted
Bonds the price has rallied to 554. Belgian Scrip is
firm at premium ; Dutch Five per Cents. at 574 ;
Mexican at 364 ; Brazilian at 821 ; and Belgian are at
9 per Cent. above par.
An improvement is apparent in most of the railway
shares to-day. The Aberdeen are at 21 premium ; the
Great 'Western are in request at 67i premium ; the Li-
verpool end Manchester at 109 premium ; and the Lon-
don and Birmingham at 120 premium. Anglo-Mexican
Mining Shares are at 3, and United Mexican at q.
