STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, June 26.—50 far as demand
cerned e
, cloth is much in the same position as last
but, owing to a further fall in the value of cottouy bler:e
seem to be getting more timid, and are Offeri
Weser,
prices where they offer at all. In general, ho
they hold aloof, and goods have to be almost forced ulva_
the market. The prices current have had to undergo.. pis
almost entire change ; most fabrics being offered ab_e
shade lower. There is great irregularity in the rates e.
all classes of fabrics,
spieners_tib.
is
In yarns there has been more business,
most cases showing a disposition to sell freely. and
a.
mit to a reduction rather than hold stocks. There :
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 has 7
in g been shipped, against 30,000,000 in last month, anct
21,000,000 in the same month of 1854. About 13,500,000
yards of cloth hare been sent to Bombay in the 10
days, against upwards of 8,000,000 in last month. The
shipment of cloths to China has been small, but of yarn
540,0001 b. have been sent out, against 118,000 lb. in last
month, and 305,0001 b. in the same monthof 1854. The
shipments to Rio Janeiro and other markets in South
America have also been large. The bulk of these sales
were, of course, made under the influence of a rising
cotton-market.
Messrs. John Slagg and Co. say of the cloth market :
—"The extremely dull and inactive state of the cotton-
market is reacting on us here, and we have again to report
an exceedingly flat, inanimate market. Stocks of all
staple articles continue to accumulate ; and the Prices
which were reluctantly submitted to last week sr'
no longer to be had. In India shirtings there bag beer
a moderate business done at a decline of about 3d. Pe
piece since Tuesday last ; but for other descriptions the
offers have been on too small a scale to test the prices,
which must be considered merely nominal."
Messrs. George Fraser, Son, and Co., after reviewing
the changes of the past month, say : 11: on

many grounds.' At present, however. moneY e„Atiy

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGEACE.

CITY, Two o'CLocK.

The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday
chivied heavily, and compared with Friday's rates,
Prices of all kinds were tending downwards, but
the decline is barely id. per lb. The sales were
estimated at between 2,000 and 3,000 bales, and
011sisted of 120 Sea Islands at is. 'to 2s. 51. per lb.
The Railway Share Market was tolerably firm, and
Isusiness more lively.
The sum which foreign shipping contributed to-
'Wards our light and pilotage dues was, in 1853,
44,478 i., and in 1854, 52,7911.
The proportionate trade of the various ports of
England is not generally known, and the compari-
"t is in some respects curious. If tonnage were
`c. decide the question London would stand above
, but when exports are brought under
notice the latter stands almost doubly as high as
thel
former. The tonnage inwards, and the declared
111110 of British and Irish exports in 1854, was as
follows

hlthe extraordinary amount in favour of Liverpool
must arise mainly from its proximity to the textile
manufacturing districts, and the great trade with
the United States.
