STATE OF TRADE.

„.(Prona the Manchester Guardian of yesterday.)
Co'nAIICRESTER, Jan. 24.—The fall of one per cent, in
118°18 yesterday, with some further decline'to-day, and
concurrent heavy drop in shares, occasioned by the
hParently close approach of war, cannot, of course,
oe done otherwise than exercise a depressing influ-
-oneeupon our market. A general disposition to hold
* from business has been more apparent among
iL Classes of buyers to-day than it was before, yet
a„—ele has been no pressure to sell on the part of spinners
sZA manufacturers. They are too much under con-
:Act for that. Still, they are freer sellers than before ;
although prices cannot be quoted lower, they are
-411111... y maintained with quite so firm a hand as they
L„.."ere of late. The India and China mails are tele-
ph • i but the statement about business is, as usual,
-utelligible. The American advices show the re-
ota at the ports to be still falling off, in consequence
ado low state of the rivers. The quantity in the inte-
-1,0L:o Unusually large; and the receipts at different
It en the river, for embarkation, are also large. The
'2 17 is likely to exceed that of last year ; and, the fine-
at; of the season having caused more pains to be be-
ecl,. upon picking and cleaning, the cotton is much
fa, Irem dust leaf and dirt than is usual under less
irrable circumstances.
ter, 4141PA.x, Jan. 21.—We have nothing fav_ourable to
tert this week of the state of the worsted trade. In
Ron) department, from the raw material to the finished
i'lo7l soolx, there is a great heaviness, and very httle disposi-
-Iton. rate.
kark'''-°4-LE, Jan. 23.—We have not had so brisk a
_et to-day, except in heavy and low priced goods,
eb
1,001 ...ire met with a ready sale at former prices. The
market remains inactive, but prices continue firm.
