the business gradually increased towards the close of last

adorably improved by the nowt secession of descend. The
fair weather duties the last week hes sawed more activity

remark We are Bled to report some improvement in the
Australian trade, and it judicious and mod suppiies are
sent oat, they will probably sell to advantage. No trade in the
world, however rich and fer Ile the country may be, will
stand such a rush of overourpliee as has been the can to
theta markets. The accounts from the United States are
very satisfactory teethe autumn trade; and how could they
be otherwise, with • plentiful harvest and comparatively
high prices received for the last cotton crop, and every
prospect of a large yield of the neat? The trade to Cali-
fornia is improving, and ease of the losses of former years
may now be made up The demand for the Levant con-
tinues satisfactory, and a fair beanies has been done by the
Greek haloes throughout the (past) month." All kinds of
plain and figured shirting, are in good demand, including
the light makes suited to India, and there continues to he
an improvement in printing cloths. The yarn market is

24 are in good demand. No. 20's and 30's mule yenta ere
