ao theatre in that reveal for many weeks past. The foreign
orders come in slowly, and with few exceptions they are
smaller than usual, as fir as the home trade is concerned.
Ruiners i. most limited in the Coney trades, but in the
staple trades generally en unusual amount of inactivity I.
obeervable. Many of the workpeople in the manufactories
are making net more than four days, and the out-workers
are even vote) off in that respect. The military gun trade
is steady ; all the men are employed, but there is nothing to
cams any excitement in the trade. A paragraph has been
going the round of the papas to the effect that the
&Watt government is about to haw contracts for 400,000
rifles, of which Birmingham Is to have half. This statement
Is incorrect. TM government contractors hers are engaged

ber, but up to this moment nothing definite Imo been decided
upon, the matter being will under coneideratioa. It is In
contemplation to give out contracts for 300,000 guns, of
which, no doubt, Birmingham will have Its share;
but this Rill make no difference to the state of
the trade. All the men are fully employed, sad
a renewal of the government coat-act would not, It is
probable, came en additional gun to be produced weekly.

attributed to the stoppage of Mews. A. Willem and Co., of
Hamburg; and as apparently well-grounded hopes are enter-
tained that that Musa will be able t) liquidate the amount
