STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTFR, April 2.—This is not a regular
market-day, but still, to-morrow being a holiday, Ito
there has been a desire to anticipate business as
much as possible, both on the part of buyers and Lc
sellers. Sellers of both yarn and cloth are very
firm in demanding the advance of Tuesday, but it n(
checks business. In yarns for India a fair amount 4stt`c
of business is reported. There is rather more con-
fidetee on the part of sellers from reeling that to 4:,
a great extent the speculative lots both of yarns and
c oths which have floated on the market from the
end of August have to a great extent been absorbed et
for shipment, owing to the recent bona fide transae-

tions on Indian account. Messrs. Du Fay & Co.,
in their monthly report, give a return of the cotton ar
textile exports for the months of January and
February, as compared with the same months in _
1861 and 1862, which show that the falling
off has been remarkable. The exports of all kinds
of cotton cloths to all countries was as follows :

In 1861, 374,702,781 ; in 1862, `-‘ 96,053,619 ; and in
1863, 172,781,008 yards, the reduction being in 1863
201,921,773 yards as compared with the same tvi o
months of 1861, and 123,272,611 yards as compared
with 1862. In cotton yarns the falling off in the
same time has been 3,798,3631 b. weight as compared
with 1861, and 6,334,3611 b. as compared with 1862.
They observe :—" As the consumption of cotton
amounts at present to only about one-third of what
it was in former years, and the home trade is taking
its share of the production of goods, the exports will
probably be restricted to the above proportions,
stocks of old goods being to a great degree absorbed.
The falling off in the exports to France in the two
months is as follows :—Two months in 1862,
8,532,372 yards ; two months in 1863, 2,787,470
yards. To Hongkong the falling-off has been more
striking still, being 1,866,510 yards in the two
months of the present year, against 10,500,000 yards
last year, and against 58,987,483 yards in 1861. In
value the exports have increased, being £17,343,731
in the two months of the present year, against
£16,759,114 in 1862."
