STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHIESTER, Feb. 13.—Indialettera had not come to
hand, nor, indeed, had the telegraphed summary of such
as had been received in London been transmitted, before
the close of the market, so that the account of business
here must be understood as uninfluenced by the Eastern
advices. There has been, however, rather more activity
in the yarn-market than on this day week. It is not
much, but the change has been snfficient to be felt, and
the cause of the improvement is probably attributable to
a belief by manufacturers that, for the present, the lowest
rates have been reached for yarn, and they have conse-
quently been led to make offers, which, though low, have
been more generally acceptable to spinners coming out
of contract. The knowledge that spinners are deter-
' mined to reduce the production rather than be driven
lower in price may have also had something to do with
this change. It is always a difficult thing to induce
manufacturers and spinners to reduce their production ;
their fixed expenses are so large that this one objection
alone has great weight with them, but two of the
largest fine spinners in Manchester have gone upon
short time, one house reducing its work-people to four,
and the other to three, days' work per week.. At Bol-
ton also, where fine number.; are largely produced, a
good many of the spinners producing Nos. 50's and up-
wards for Nottingham and Glasgow have cornmerced
short time, the fading off in the American trade having
led to a very limited demand for the fabrics into which
these yarns enter.
In cloth the short-tide movement is also making some
progress, and five or six large houses in the neighbour-
hood of Blackburn and Preston have decided to com-
mence immediately. There has been no improvement
in demand felt here to-day at all in cloth ;in fact, the
demand for T's and longcloths has fallen off somewhat,
and prices had a downward tendency. Some branches
of the trade are more depressed than others, but all are
complained of as unremunerative. A description of

however, proceed from the home trade as well as the
asle 7s.ss
foreign, and there appears to be no chance of any very
speedy relief from any quarter.
Of the cloth market Messrs. John Slagg and Co. say :
" From Tuesday last to the close of the week the de-
mand for almost all descriptions of goods has been gra-
dually falling off, and the week's business has been on
the smallest scale we have experienced for a considerable
time. To-day there is no improvement ; indeed, if there
is any change at all, it is for the worse. As regards
prices they are not sufficiently tested by offers, for quan-
tity ; but no doubt something less than our quotations
would in most instances be accepted."
Messrs. George Fuser, Son, and Co , also remark of
the same 'ranch of the market : "We have had an
extremely dull market to-day for all descriptbns of manu-
factures, and prices continue to give way."
LEEDS, Feb. 12.—The market in both the white and
the coloured cloth halls to-day have been fully as good
as this day se'nnight, and prices are steady. The general
condition of tl.e trade, however, continues rather flat,
nor is it apprehends i that there will be much improve-
ment until towards spring, and the c cnlrrence of some
favourable events as respects the war.
Wheat has fallen is per quarter in the Leeds market
to-day, and there have been few buyers. The arrivals of
grain during the past week have been small, arising in
part, no doubt, from the inclemency of the weather
rendering the means of transit arduous.

ENGLISH AND AUSTRALIAN COPPER COMPANY.—The
committee of investigation of the above company, ap-
pointed by the shareholders in July last, have issued
their report. They state a belief that, from the improve-
ment which has lately taken place in the supply of labour
in South Australia, the prospects of the company have
become much less unsatisfactory, and that, if no new re•
verse should happen, it may shortly be in a position to
pay dividends. Meanwhile, it is necessary to raise
35,0001. for a short period upon debentures, a large por-
tion of the capital having been absorbed in payment for
ore valued at 70,0001., which will require time for reali-
sation,

of objects viewed through them—of great importance to the

and the double stars; with the same telescope elm be
