The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 3 per mille pm., and
the short exchange on London is 25.221 per £1 sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3
17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
about 1-10th per cent. dearer in Paris than in London.
By adviccs from Hamburg, the price of gold is 423 per mlin ark
and the short exchange on London is 13.51 per .£1
Standard gold at the English Mint price is. theref ere, about
7-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg,
The course of exchange at New York on Loudon for bills at
60 days' sight is abut 283 per cent., and the premium on
gold is 141 per cent. At these rates there is a small profit
on the importation of go'd from the United States.

[AnvEnTrsEatENT.] --Holloway's Pi 11 5.,--Worn -ou t
hope for relief from these purifying and
after physic and physicians have failed
ssutrffeenrgetrhsen mayin pills,
to effect a cure. In all disorders of the stomach, imgula-
rifles of the bowels, derangements of the liver, and diseases
of the kidneys, these pills will be found especially useful in
reinstituting order and restoring health. Holloway's pills
clear away obstructions, remove poisonous particles from
the blood, secretions, and system generally; give purity
and regularity to the circulation, tone and power to the
stomach, energy and vividness to the brain. Holloway's
pills can be confidently recommended as restoratives of
constitutions shattered and broken up by excessive mental
labour, intemperance, inordinate indulgence, or other hard-
ships which make the young man old.

STATE OF TRADE.

= --41.-

MANCHESTER, Nov. 15.—The amount of business
dAng in shipping yarns has been but small to-day,
in constquenca of the excessively high prices spin-
ners have been compelled to ask in order to keep
pace with the rapid rise in the raw material. The
rise since this day week in shipping yarns has been
at least ld. per lb., while in home.trade yarns the
advance is Ili. to 2d., and in some cases 2d. to 3J.
Buyers were not yet prepared to pay these extreme
pricer, though they seem to have no lack of orders
iu hand. The market for home-trade yarns appears
to be fully as strong as that for export goods, and
the extreme prices demanded by spinners have
alone checked operations. In the cloth-market
there has been a very active demand during the
past six days,with a strong disposition to purchase.
The consequence has been that some very heavy
contracts have been placed, extending over periods
Which place the time of final delivery in some cases
at long dates. With such an amount of business
doing prices have been gradually hardening.
Cotton keeps to some extent ahead of manufacturers,
however, and this fact, combined with the high
prices asked by spinners, has compelled sellers to-
day considerably to increase their quotations, and.
they are obliged to name prices which buyers are
unwilling to respond to. This has a good deal
checked business to-day, and the actual amount
done has been small when compared with the result
of some previous days within the last week.
Though a good deal of business has been done in
India cloths, the improvement is much more gene.
ral than of late. For printing cloths especially
there has been a good deal more inquiry than for
some time past. indeed, these goods have of late
been a good deal neglected. Messrs, John Slagg
and Co. report of this day's market :
" Since last Tuesday we have had an active de•
mend, and large orders have been placed at gra.
dually improving rates. The advanced prices of
cotton and yarns have to-day compelled manufac-
turers to raise their quotations to a point not fol•
lowed by buyers, and our market closes with
rather limited business."

LEEDS, 15th—The woollen cloth market in both

the halls was of an inanimate character to-day, the
attendance of buyers being below an average, and
their purchases of a very circumscribed range. Small
parcels of good black cloths, with some miscellanet
ous purchases of tweeds, meltons, witneys, and other
fabrics, both heavy and light, changed hands at
prices not materially different from those of the last
few weeks. Though the market was dull as to act
tual sales of goods, it was moderately cheerful in
taking into account the de.
several late failures have
og trhe ee ro
fr edseppercetsss—i tnh at
whichis ,
caused. There have been some flying rumours of
other failures in the woollen trade besides those
which have already appeared in the Gazette or have
otherwise been brought before the public, but they
are not traceable to any authentic source, M the
same time much caution is exercised both by manu-
facturers and merchants, and consequently both
orders and sales of goods are less than usual when
circumstances are more favourable. Clothing wools
aro steady in price, but the demand is not brisk.
The flax trade is less active than we lately had to
report it, but prices of yarns and threads are noun/
ually the same as last week.
ROCHDALE, 14th—There is a slight improvement

in the flannel trade. There has been a fair attend.

twee of buyers to-day, and more disposition to buy
was manifested than for the past few weeks. The
approach of cold and winterly weather has natu..
rally increased the demand for the heavier kinds of
geld. The sale of these, conjoined with a sprint:•
ling of the finer and some fancy fabrics, made the
business of the day satisfactory, especially as menu•
facturers realised the prices they asked more readily
I
than last week. orkshire goods also were in bet-
ter request, and prices rather firmer, consequent
probably on the increase in the price of cotton.
Generally speaking, the flannel and kindred mans.
facturers are tolerably well employed, and their
prospects for the winter months are more hopeful.
than we have lately had to notice. The stocks of
goods in their hands are not large, and the demand
Is likely to keep equal to the present rate of supply.
