STATE OF TRADE.

-
(Prom, the Manchester Guardian of this day.)
~,M_AIWEIEsTER, Sept. 13.—The more threatening as-
pect of the Eastern question has had an unfavourable
er!q upon our market to-day. Still more have we felt
the increasing stringency to which money matters are
subjected. It is not so much that the London discount
housesdi are requiring higher rates for what they may be
4th extent
to do, but they are imposing further limits upon
4?...ztent to which they will go in affording accommo-
n on bills of exchange ; so that it has become ex-
iulslnely difficult to turn long-dated paper to account.
of course, adds to the previously existing restrie-
tZi
° upon operations for distant markets, founded on such
17..11ghts ; while a diminished liberality in the ordi-
nary
,banking facilities everywhere curtails the amount
or
ordinary business. All classes of buyers have con-
"quently exhibited a marked increase of caution to-day;
:I° much so that sellers have not received so few offers
on a Tuesday for a considerable time back. Neces-
arilY, therefore, the bent of prices is more unfavour-
able
I_for producers than it was last week ; there has
nowever been too little of a test to afford any proper
criterion of the state of the case, and undoubtedly an
Increasing irregularity is now showing itself as a result

RocrinALE, Sept. 12.—We have had a good demand
for goods at improving prices, more especially for ker-
ileYB, and low priced pieces. The wool market is steady,
and prices very firm.
HALIFAX, Sept. B.—ln every department of the wor-
ded trade, from the raw material upwards, there is the
game sluggishness of demand which has prevailed for
some time past, and we cannot this week report any
alteration either for the better or the worse.
HunnxitsFlELD, Sept. 13. Again we have. had at
good market, all kinds of seasona gleesn?ds are in grea
request, and chiefly those of goodties. Some heavy
Parcels of winter goods, pattern orders, har

veredli-
direct by the makers to-day. Wi
tinued and uninterrupted briskness, our market days
are merely repetitions of each other. There is
general activity, much the same class of goods being in
request ; the only difference being that an advance may
be required from time to tune by the mann acturer.
BIRMINGHAM, Sept. 12.—We have to report a steady
continuance of activity in every department of this
trade, with still stiffening prices. It is now allowed
.on all hands that the reduction of 20s. per ton on manu-
factured iron, declared at the last preliminary meeting,
was unnecessary, and a pretty general expectation pre-
vails that the close of the present month will witness its
reversal, putting the price again to 101. for bars. Orders for
next quarter have already been taken at 20s. per ton
ssdvance, and in some instances refused, 30s. being re-
quired. A wholesome check to speculation has been
?given by the late advance in the rate of discount ; but
neither this, nor the unpropitious character of the har-
vest, seem to offer any serious cause of anxiety.

SPORTING NOTES.

THE OPENING DAY AT DONCASTER.
Last night the rain descended in drenching showers,
and this morning dawned dull and cheerlessly. The
"skyey influences" were uneasily regarded, but towards
Loon the dark clouds disappeared, and the expectations
°f unpropitious weather were agreeably disappointed.
Still the prospect of rain doubtless exercised a dimi-
nishing effect on the attendance ; few ladies were pre-
Sent, but the muster of professional visitors and pleasure
folk was little below the average. The proceedings
commenced at two o'clock, but they were not conducted
With the strictest regard to punctuality. The racing
pas suggestive of few comments ; it was interesting
and exciting, d
and was, in certain instances, productive
aj heavy an important speculation. The Champagne
Stakes and the Great Yorkshire Handicap were, of
!aurae, the principal events decided, and both resulted
4,1 the unexpected defeat of the favourites. The with-
drawal of Ruby materially lessened the interest which
would otherwise have attached to the Champagne
Stakes. The horse is, I believe, still in the town, and it
1s difficult to explain satisfactorily the reason why he did
not start. He is also struck out of the Two-Year-Old
Stakes.
His owner's motives for sending him to Don-
caster, and then scratching him for his engagements,
are, certainly, liable to suspicion ; his policy, at least, is
Dentionable. The money, however, was perhaps on
!tatcntlieg:and who,
ino who advanced in favour up to the hour of
on the dispersion of the " Ring,
had the decided " call" of the field. His party appeared
be confident of success • his owner personally superin-
tZnded the saddling, and did not quit him until his jockey
wtas fairly mounted. Their calculations were provok-
Vl'oY upset, and Domino was very cleverly defeated by
brother to Mountain Deer, an animal that bad been
scarcely mentioned in the betting. The result was hailed
•w th loud and prolonged cheers, which were renewed
when the 'Squire was seen attending the winner to the
Weighing stand. He was warmly congratulated,
between and
him and his friends much good-humoured badi-
nage was exchanged. Tadcaster was deserted by his
supporters before the race, and his performance totally.
0,:.1ed his reputation. On Monday I expressed an

arblY the best horse in the race. Hungerford

performanceta establishes, beyond dispute, his pretensions

ketes" of the season. Haco was supported in the mar-
