in some instances where mles have been made lower prices have had
to be submitted to; but be stagnation is so great that we bare beard
of bosses where not eo much as a Angie inquiry fur euro's has been
made during the entire week. The peralysis which hits fallen upeo
oar trade is accompenied with so many novel aireurnatmees
that the most experienced onsunereial men have difficulty
in seeing their way, mad in the mean time preducers

end the large somber of 24,562 persons are wholly thrown out of

chester,where attempts are understood to be laminate mapne
but them reports have not had eanarmation. In lianalkater oak
two mills Dave offered reductions, the extent of the reductions being
equal to about 3a. out of 2h per week ; and in thew nos the work-
week have turned out. Under those eireumstanra, and with the
monetary raceme unrelieved, so tar as can be ermined, to OM
slightest extent, the state and prozpecia of this market see cue as-
promising and glamey indeed.
moGUlipile CLOTIPA—Leans, May 11.—Tim Witticism' of buyers
at the cloth halls this morning was of the ordinary character, but the
anitmet of business dono was exceedingly Hint. The goods bought
were chiefly of the tower descriptions cf wooded bluer, wool dyed
blacks, an article generally more sought after In this market. A few
lots of petersham' were also disposed of; but, in the white cloth ball,
there were very kw purobthes :ted. The high price of provision%
and the scarcity of money has depressing effect on the market, but
se stocks arc low, prices are not much affected.
HARD WAltg.—B, art e0n..., Mar 11.—The bed state of the trade
here, and which is daily more acutely felt, is beginning to excite very
serious a •prehensione for the result; for, the manufacturers have so
few orders in the heusee as to render it impossible that they can keep
the ertisons employed. The book and rye manufacturers, the bulka
makers. bram.familers, lamp nod chandelier inanufacturere, japan-
Kerr, tin and iron plate workers, and the gilt and (a. 7 toy makers,
have thareely any thing to els. The nail nod screw makers, end the
steel pen makers are better supplied with orders, but in these
braes:hes the husinere is anything but brisk. This very scrims de-
preerion isle ilirr.t measure attributable to thethareity of sonny; the
merehants do nut hesitate to Aran that they base orders to the
homes, but that consequent on the tightuthe of the money snarket,
I and the high rates at whisk discounts are unmoral, they are mei-
' pelted to refrain from plods' their or in the hands of tbc mann-
&ethers. Such is the state d affairs in the town ; in the district,
commercial concerns wear a more cheering amset, but men
there it is feared thus-. exist fur dbiquk tads ; reports
gleaned from the in:mummers who usually elan this town on a
Thursday, would lead to the inference that they are not without sus.
picion that the wthent price of iron cannot be very long maintained,
and any legislative Interference which should ham a tendency to
cheek the progress of the railway works for • Wilk, would assurail
be attended anth very dlissitroua consequences, bath in South
shire and Shrop Adre, breathe a very large portion of the ceders he
iron now in bond show that the demand is akar for roilvegy purpnee.
The rate of diranantlng bills hereabouts seem, to eery so considerably
seconding to circumstances, as scarcely to admit et a figure being
fixed ; it is certain, however, that it in enormously high, but the ma.
foray in the banks appear to be discounting for their own customers
gra-ohm piper (with ontinary run) at S per cent. It is prop r, how.
ever, to state, that they do not lower this figure in ordinary 'times,
and when money is very moth easier than at present : there are, how-
ever, very large numbers of small manufacturers having me banking
occasion at at, wbo are suffering severely from the abets of the panic
from the maw above assigned, and who, tinker mime change speedily
takes place, will be inevitaby rained.
