A communication from Lithuania, in the Inva-
Ude Russe says :—" There is a general cry in the
country in favour of dividing the estates of the
grand landowners into lots and then selling them
to true Russians, and there can be no doubt that
such a measure would meet with unanimous appro-
bation."

M. de Tbcerner, a Russian Councillor of State,
has arrived at Berlin to negotiate relative
to the customs. The advisability of concluding
a treaty of commerce between Russia and Prussia
was under consideration last winter, and negotiations
are now about to commence with a view to reducing
duties and affording greater facilities to commerce.
The councillors of the Ministers of Commerce and
Finances will negotiate with M. de Thcerner.

STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, July 24.—There has been SOME

improvement in business, and rather more confi-
dence. In yarns we have had a more active demand
since Tuesday for various markets, at full and ad•
vancing prices. Sellers report an advance in some
descriptions of yarns of Id. to ld. per lb. as com-
pared with the rates obtainable last Friday, and an
impression prevails among spinners that prices will
still further advance. Since Tuesday there has been
very little change in the character of the cloth-
markst. Prices have remained firm, and where
buyers have had to execute orders they have, in most
instances, been obliged to give very fall terms. This
has been the case in the lighter makes for India, in
which a fair business has been done. In the heavier
and better fabrics for India there has been only a
very limited demand. There is a more cheerful
feeling throughout the market, and symptoms
of returning animation, but the advancing ten-
dency of prices has the effect of keeping buyers
from operating. Some inquiries are reported for i
the home trade and some of the smaller foreign
markets, but buyers do not display sufficient con-
fidence to undertake any operations worth naming,
and except for India the transactions have been
exceedingly limited.

CARDIFF, July 23.—There is an average business
doing in the steam coal trade, and many of the coal-
masters are full of orders. A considerable number
of ships have arrived within the last few days, but
freights are still above the usual rates. The house
coal trade is dull, and quotations have a downward
tendency. The ironworks of the district are kept
going regularly, and the hands are, upon the whole,
well employed. The advanced prices are main-
tained with difficulty since the arrival of the late
American news.

NOTTINGHAM, July 24.—At this Exchange hall
to-day there was a thin attendance of buyers and
sellers. The business done in either lace or hosiery
yarns was small, buyers holding off until the arrival
of further news from America. Silks nominally
unaltered. Brown nets very dull, and about the
same in price.
