MONDAY NIGIST,

ANOTHER week has passed without any materi
change kn monetary affairs, the public Funds have lel
preserved the high value at which they have rull
for some little time past, and even slightly
vanced. The failure at Manchester has broug_b
other houses, both at Liverpool and Loudon, into
the same state, but it is believed that the winding,_
antiecrl.
up will be rather more favourable than was
pated, and considering the immense extent of ine _
cantile operations, the amount of loss is not Mess
large. Money for commercial purposes is
easy, although business generally is very dull, but;
the Turkish loan is now in course of
this may account for the absorption of flotilla!
capital. The Bank returns show again a sled
diminution in the stock of bullion; but it is
stator for
that the demand for the Continent has ceasedtci.
the present, and we may, therefore, shortly
pate a reaction, as foreign exchanges are rui"
rather more favourably.
In the Cotton manufacturing districts, busines:
has been very dull, owing to the recent fel-15cl;
PaYinent,
and prices of some articles have slightly gOlty
way ; but the despondency which prevailed in 'lit
early part of the week has since partially elealf,
off, and as the advices from India are more faclo
able, a speedy improvement is looked forward
with confidence. In the Woollen trade there It
still great inactivity, but it is anticipated wa
business will be better in a short time.
The large Corn markets have manifested a feel;
dency to advance, as imports recently have bt..,
almost nothing, and very little of the new crop
yet been brought to market. This reaction Al"
proved of great assistance to large holders, in n
bling them to recover themselves, but much
tisfaction is expressed by consumers at not bell
able to enjoy the full advantage of the reeejlr,
beautiful harvest. A very short time, howesTli
will serve to bring the new wheat into gene
consumption, and prices must necessarily go
with little or no reference to the extent of form-
supplies.
An improvement has recently been wade hir
London with reference to the payment of Custe„'
duties, by permitting them to be paid in bani'e'-a
cheques instead of, as heretofore, in notes a,s,u,
coin. This change will 'have a threefold ad"'"i
tage. It will avoid the risk to merchants °
sending money by clerks through crowded streets.;
it will relieve the Customs from much labour;
examining notes and weighing coins; and it
economise a considerable amount of the circulating
medium, which will thus be set free for cominer ~„
purposes. It would be desirable that such an,'";
provement should be extended to this port, wii`:ci
a very large amount of Customs' duties is P,31,
and where, from the number and proximity 0'
banks, very great facilities exist
