The Canada from America has brought 16,086.

The accounts from the manufacturing districts for
the past week are generally of a satisfactory charac-
ter. At Manchester prices of both cloths and yarns
have been well maintained. The woollen trade of
Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield has shown
symptoms of increased animation ; and in the
hosiery and lace departments at Leicester and Not-
tingham a more cheerful tone has prevailed.
Business in the hardware districts, viz., at Birming-
hem, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton, has continued
satisfactory.
A new undertaking is the Whittington Freehold
Colliery Company, requiring a nominal capital of
£135,000 in shares of £lO each. Tee amount to be
first called up is £75,000, but as nearly half of this
sum is taken by the vendor in part payment for the
estate, and as 2,000 shares have been already sub-
scribed by the directors, only 8,000 shares are now
offered to the public. The property in question is
situated near Chesterfield, is intersected by the
Midland Railway. and comprises 170 acres of arable
land, and covers 350 acres of mineral strata, con-
taining six seams of coal and three beds of iron-
stone. The plant and machinery are also included
in the purchase, and the collieries are capable of
producing upwards of 500 tons of coal per day,
while the sale of ironstone, the workings of which
has only recently been commenced, exceeds 300 tons
per week.
