We often see misrepzesemations of

your pape'rsi'and in several others, is os-a

duced either from scif—intcrcsc or ignorance,
or hath. I allude to a paragraph setting
: forth as a known fact? she unexamplcd- fall
of broad Cloths, viz. from two guincas-si co—
si 283. per yard. Nowsssisirssss'l defy the writer:
; of the above to prove, even in the" first brsiak
ing out of the advance last year, that- the_
former price or any thing near it, was given
for cloth, except indeed it might bcssan in
stance or two of some hot-hcadcd spccula- ss
tor; on-thc contrary we well know. that on ss
&& much lower pricc bring asked by-many
:cluthicrs, a total stoppnge of orders was
si the consequmce throughout the country. &
this Stagnation prevailed until it began to]
cool a little after ,so unusual : ferment, and 3
clothes west: bought very Sparingly (as in ;
fact they are at this hnur) at the price dc- ]
man'ticd by the generality of th: trad: dur- 1
ing -all laSt year, viz. 285. to 805. The i
woolen trade had always been of th sit steady ;
nature, that an advance utsionly 13. pcryard 1
had heretosorc been considered :- most hute- (
ful measure; so during the novelty us the 1'
late 'siSC, many persons morsssi: fond osstrangc i
tailes than of truth, Went abuttt with stories I
of-40s. to 425. per yard, perhaps with a ?
view of obtaioing their own (comparativcly) ss
modmte-prices. Upon the whule, then:
fore, it is certain that the paragraph in
question is founded in thischood, inasmuch
as the great price therein staltd was never,
asl have above asscrtcd, the market or

to thozprcthing of the: drapc—siss srom buy

Your .:Writcr goes on to state some
thing about the low price us Yorkshirc
Cloths in the Auction Mart, but his expres
sions arc too vague on that head to admit of
a decided reply; his conclusion, however, :
so gravrly accounts for this happy change iss
by the vast suppiy us Spanish sheep lutcly !
