STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, March 27.—TheIndia department
of our market, in yarn as well as cloth, is a good
deal excited to-day by the telegraphic advices, re-
ceived yesterday, of some further improvement at
Bcrnbay, and of the addition of id. per lb. to 40's
twist, and 18d. and 161 d. per piece to the prices of
ib. and 71b. skirtings respectively at Calcutta.
Business has ensued in mule twist, say 30's to 100's,
at an advance, pretty generally, of about id. per lb. ;
even ld. has been obtained upon 40's. The makers
and holders of piece-goods have raised their
quotations. The statements made to us are con-
flicting. This evidently arises very much from dif-
ferences among sellers in regard to stocks—some of
the heavy holders being willing to under-sell the
lighter holders ; while some others, who have
cotton in hand, will take rather less than those
who are not so situated. Considerable irregulari-
ties are thus occasioned. We conclude that the
realised advance on the average prices attainable
on Tuesday for 40in. shirtings is certainly 3d.
per piece ; but a requirement of 6d. mostly pre-
vents a bargain. These are parties, however, who
demand 9d. It is chiefly the lighter kinds of stair -
ings and other fabrics, iccluding printing cloths;
that merchants are taking. Business of all descrip-
tions has been much restricted by the adherence of
makers and speculative holders to higher rates than
merchants would pay. As the now reported im-
provement in India took place after the receipt of
rather depressing accounts from Liverpool and Mai..
chester, it inspires ell the more confidence here.
It is found that such twists and wefts as enter into
kaptern cloths are practically dearer by id. to Id.
per lb than they were on Tuesday. Certain spin nip gs
for Glasgow are O. higher. The various yarns
referred to in this paragraph range from 32's
to 80's.

The German and Dutch houses do not appesr to
share in the movement at all. They still hold cau-
tiously to their policy of merely executing the very
small orders they receive. They, as well our manu-
facturers, find that id. to d. per lb. is laid upon
throstle warps, and that mule yarns have an up-
wnrd tend ncy.

Doubled yarns, from 120's down to the lowest
number, continue dull ; 40's are the firmest in

price.
The buyers of goods for other markets than those
of India are but little effected by this day's move-
ment. They had previously been buying cautiously
and moderately, but they hesitate or decline to do
anything, if prices are raised in the proportion of
s'oirtings, except in the case of certain printing
cloths, chiefly 56 to 60. reeds.
