SPATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, June 26.—50 far as demand is con-
cerned cloth is much in the same position as last week,
but, owing to a further fall in the value of cotton, burrs
seem to be getting more timid, and are offering iese
prices where they offer at all. In general, howevl-Y
they hold aloof, and goods have to be almost forced DP°ll
the market. The prices current have had to undergo an
almost entire change ; most fabrics being offered aof
oa
shade lower. There is great irregularity in the rates
.all classes of fabrics.
In yarns there has been more business, spinners in
most cases showing a disposition to sell freely, and sub'
mit to a reduction rather than hold. stocks. There are
some exceptions, and consequently there is much irregu"
larity in prices.
The returns of exports to India for the first half of the
Month (to the 16th) show a good business to Calcutta
and Madras, upwards of 14,000,000 yards of cloth hav-
ing been shipped, against 30,000,000 in last month, and
21,000,000 in the same month of 1854. About 13,500,000
yards of cloth have been sent to Bombay in the 16
days, against upwards of 8,000,000 in last month. The

Messrs. George Fraser, Son, and Co., after reviewing
the changes of the pat month, say :
"For the future much- anxiety must be felt
on
many 'grounds. At present, however, money is
easy
and discounts comparatively low. We have already
alluded to the reduction of the minimum rate of dis-
count by the Bank of 'England from 4 to 31 pr
cent. on the 14th inst. It is with satisfaction alse°

we can notice the increase of bul:ion in the Ban'
