The accounts Ir3m the various manufacturing
districts for the past week have generally been of
a satisfactory chAracter. At Manchester there has
been a good demand for both cloths and yarns for
home use and for the Indian markets, and prices
have shown increased firmness. In the woollen dis-
tricts of Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield there
has been a more active inquiry • for seasonable
goods, while a fair amount of business has been
transacted in the hosiery and lace departments of
Leicester and Nottingham. In the hardware dis-
tricts of Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhamp
ton the general prosperity of trade is considered
very satisfactory in most departments.
