Some are also investing large sums in the purchase of Manchester goods, every description of which will, it is expected, experience a material ad vance at the termination of the present mourning : indeed, nothing but the stagnation of the home trade has caused the flatness of demand which has so long existed ; tor the foreign trade, generally speaking, was never known to be better—as is sufficiently proved by the number of Excise Officers, who have for a long time been actively employed here in marking off goods for exportation, and the vast sums remitted in the way of drawback in this respect.
