There has recently been a considerable demand
liu particular kinds of manufactured goods. and the
prices of weaving hare accordingly been somewhat
advanced. We can scarcciy venture to say the
improvement has been general, fur a great variety
of• goods are not at ail advanced, and some &scrip.
tions are even lower than they were two months
since; but considering the very low price of yarn,
%,(• t;d:c it to be a favourable indication of trade that
goods are not materi•tlly lower, and the reduction in
price, where it has taken place, is nut equivalent to
the prices of yarn. About the end of last year, in
Manchester goods maintained their prices, notwith-
standing the depression which u►ually takes place in
that season. The demand there has been steady
throughout the winter. The weavers have been
all employed, at tolerably fair wages, which, with
the low price_of provisions, have placed them in
comparative comfort. It is to be hoped that the
'oreign demand, which baa been considerable these
last two months, will continua; and yurhaps it is
nut too much to capvct that, as thu spring advances,
it will increase.
