STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, June 16.—We have again had a
very heavy demand for all classes of shipping yarns,
at prices about Id. per lb. above the advance of
Tuesday. Spinners, generally, are now very deeply
under contract, and any further business will pro-
bably have to be done at still higher rates, while
considerable time will have to be given for delivery.
For this class of yarns the market closes strong.
The home trade yarn-market has also been strong,
with prices fully id. per lb. above the rates of
Tuesday. The great advance checks business to
some extent, and there has hardly been as much
doing as on some previous days of this week. The
cloth-market has been more active than of late.
Since Tuesday there has been a considerable inquiry
for most descriptions, and even India goods have
participated in it to some extent. The advancing
prices of'cotton and of yarn have, of course, com-
pelled manufacturers to advance their quotations,
and as these have not been followedin the same degree
in the offers made by buyers, it has been impossible
to do anything like a large business in this class o f
fabrics. There has been more activity in the finer
classettof cloth and in printers, and for these the de-
mand still continues. Each day since Tuesday a fair
business has been done in these descriptions of cloth,
and prices have been constantly advancing. Yester-
terday and to-day the demand has been active, but to-
day there has been less business than was expected,
owing to the advanced quotations necessitated to cover
the high prices of cotton and yarn. Buyers' are
mostly willing to pay some advance, but they fol-
low reluctantly and with much hesitation a rise
which has been so continuous as well as considerable.
The aggregate business of the week in cloths has
been rather large.

NorrniGnAm,l6th.—Therewas a tolerable attend-
ance on 'Change to-day, and the demand ruled
healthy for lace yarns, at an advance of 2d. per lb.
on Tuesday's rates for medium numbers ; fine and
coarse numbers about the same as heretofore. The
demand for hosiery yarns was firm, and prices were
is. per bib. bundle higher. Silks dearer. Spun
silks (long) were ls. 6d., and short spun 6d. per lb.
higher. There was not much alteration in the value
of brown nets, but business on the whole was rather
better.

BLAKELY ORDNANCE COMPANY.—This company
is being formed to carry out on a large scale Capt.
Blakely's well-known inventions in ordnance, of the im-
portance of which sonic notion may be gleaned when it is
stated that within the last two years upwards of 50 guns
have been turned out by the present limited factory, each
of which is said to be more powerful than any gun in her
Majesty's service, if perhaps we make the one single ex-
ception of the experimental one called " Big Will." The
present proprietors of the works guarantee 15 per cent.
profits, so that the investment, it would seem, is rather a
good one, particularly when it is considered that the
guarantors are Capt. Blakelyand Mr. Dent, the well-known
Rothschild of China. We are glad to find the shares rising
in the market.—Globe.
THE YELVERTON CASE —ln the action of damages
at the instance of TheresaLongworth, or Yelverton, against
the Hon. Mrs. (Forbes) Yelverton, recently debated before
the Lord Ordinary (Jerviswoode) in the Outer House of
the Court of Session, his lordship on Wednesday gave a
decision dismissing the action, and making the plaintiff
1 liable for the costs.
