STATE OF TRADE, MANCHESTER.—During the
whole of last week a considerable amount of trade was
done at advanced prices, especially in light goods; and
in heavy goods the depression Was not so great as for
some time past. Yesterday's prices had an upward ten-
dency, and a general improvement was evident. The
feeling generally prevails that a considerable improve-
ment may be anticipated, especially if the affairs on the
Continent should assume a more premising aspect.
Manufacturers are well employed, and at more remu-
nerative prices than for some time past. There as
good attendance on 'Change yesterday, and a decidedly
better feeling.
