STATE OF TRADE.

Trade has been goiog on in Paisley during the
last month aide snore than ordinary activity, with
some tolling exeeptient. The extensive demand
fur rich ilk plods and scarves continuos to be ex-
perienced without any omensl alteration. Indeed
it is mostly work of the richsst kind that is now in
general request. No expense is sepaled at present
by the matatfacturers to maks their good. valuable,
and in every point of oupurionty to co:respond with
the taste of the purchase's. Z-bra dresses and split
hurousi shawls of various colours and breadths, with
fioin one to four COVrfl, are very brisk, and the
prices on the advance. A great increase of these
beautiful articles has taken place of I Ate, and the im-
provement is still increasing, particularly among
those of the best description. Broad cotton imita-
tion shawls of the best gelidity, without any particua
tar bias to patterns or favourite flowers, are much
wanted. Some of these shawls have been made to
assume a new appearance, by making them with
large double spotted sprigs. between which smaller
cues are thickly inierspersed, consisting only of our
0%10.1e. A considerable rise on the price of wear.
ing has followed the anziety of the mannfactmera to
übtMi these goods. Narrow spotted hanelker-
chiefs. made mostly for men's necks, are doing
equally as well. A vast number of fresh baud.
have been eau aged to produce this manufacture,
both iu t. an and country. Full harness robes
and sprigs are more in request than they were
ilming Me month preceding. Great tisainities of
coarsuois lappet.: continue to be wade. but the
prices received for weeving them are. ezceedingly
low. Common harness robes, damask shawls, and
(Mimi imitation gown pbres, nre all in a very
depremeel Inst.. Plain gauzes, nets, and other
fabrics of a similar kind are mimed arly dull. The
light goods prepared by females have i.ot been so

weavers employed in this kind of work have lately
endured no small hardships by loss of time and
