Warehouse, he was shown a sample c,f cloth which had been
t4tb44llfactured for them (the plaintiffs), and he learned that
Les defendants had received it from a Mr Georgiadi, who
'it'd obtained it from the plaintiffs' porter in the absence of
til.raasters. It was alleged that the defendants understood
111 cloth to be a sample of the 125 pieces. It was agreed the

There was a large withdrawal of gold from the

The advices from the manufacturing districts for
the past week are in most instances satisfactory.
At Manchesfer both cloths and yarns have fully
oupported previous rates ; active operations have
been restricted as usual at this season of the year.
The woolen trade of Leeds, Bradford, and Hudders-
field, has continued steady, without any material
Change in prices, while at Birmingham, Sheffield,
and 'Wolverhampton, there has been a more buoyant
tone in most departments.
