STATE OF TRADE,

MANCHESTER, Feb. 19.—We have had a very
quiet market for yarns in all departments, both
home and export, and, generally speaking, prices
are easier as compared with Tuesday. In the home
trade there is some business doing, but most of the
sales have been small parcels. In cloth sellers re-
port a limited business. There has been a rather
active inquiry, but it has not resulted in much
actual business. As stated in our recent reports,
the greater activity on Tuesday and previously was
owing more to accumulated orders than any new
demand, and most of these having now been placed
buyers do not feel inclined to operate further. No
doubt the recent arrivals of cotton and the further
expected arrivals are influencing buyers to some
extent in holding back. At the same time manu-
facturers are rather cheerful, believing that the
great reduction which has taken place in the pro-
duce of the mills will influence prices favourably,
whatever may be the effect on the markets of im-
ports of cotta. Whenever people wish to purchase
for immediate delivery they find a difficulty in
meeting with stocks of goods, and certainly this
seems to bear out the opinion entertained by menu-
tacturers, who are, generally speaking, exceedingly
firm about prices. Some orders have been given
out running into April and May, the contractors for
which have taken rather lower prices, but for early
delivery most kinds of cloth keep firm, with a ten-
dency to higher rates.
NOTTINGHAM, 19th.—There was a limited at-
tendance at the Exchange-hall to-day. For lace
yarns the demand was still quiet, but
prices re-
mained firm. In hosiery yarns little or no al.era-
tion took place. Silks, both spun and thrown,
maintain their prices. Brown nets meta slow sale.
The makers are less actively
eng3ged, bat there is
no change in prices to quote.

The intewled run with the E
hounds did not take place this morning, a sharp
frost during the night, accompanied by frequent
falls of snow, having night~ad© the earth co hard at
to be unsafe for hunting purposes. Mr. Cartels,
the master, had made every preparation for carry-
hag out the proposed arrangements had his Itolui
Highness the Prince of Wales desired the hounds
to be laid on. The placeof meet was the Harrow
Inn, Baldsloe, about three miles from llastion
on the summit of an extensiVe ridge of hills, along
which the road from Hastings to Battle is carried.
On this bleak spot from two to three thousand
such
persons had assembled, presenting some
scene as that described on the occasion of the meet
at Sidley Green on Tuesday, About noon tadward
princo caused a very kind message to be for
to Mr. Curteis, intimating that he thought it would
be unwise to hunt that day, as it would be it
