MANCHESTER—FRIDAY EVENING' 41lle of
Tux COTTON TRADE.—The improvement in the 'lv be!,
grey cloth, which was noticed last week, has not on' a Jai
maintained, but since Tuesday such bas been the derftnecer',
goods, that a further advance since that day, on alalftkiv-
desciiption of printing cloth, has taken place. Stti7,,,
not been known to be so low for, many years. flgoji
mestic cloth, however, is not dearer. Printing cloth,°..eeo
quality, has advanced 15 per cent. during the last ;eice
and is likely to go sill higher. There continues tO. that
by every packet from America, large orders for gook,aro, are.,
our general trade is, on the whole, most healthy. Ea',
still very dull sale; though large purchases are mane o C",f
