STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Times).
MANCHESTER.—The state of the market this week
has not at all improved, and, from various causes, the
flatness and stagnation experienced for some time have
increased. An extensive failure, that of Messrs. Gls-
borne and Wilsons, calico-printers, which occurred at
the beginning of the week, has caused a considerable
sensation amongst the printing-houses, and has had the
effect of lessening the demand for printing cloth. The
liabilities of this house are upwards of 100,0001., and
since the stoppoge two suspensions of payment have
taken place in consequence. The yarn market is very
flat ; the German and Russian houses are doing nothing,
and other descriptions of buyers but little. The spin-
ners and manufacturers are daily becoming poorer—the
banks are restricting their accommodation—and every
thing appears to favour the belief that the " dark days
of winter" will be more dark than ever in a commercial
point of view. More employment and more food say
the working men ; extended markets say the masters.
Both requests aro refused, and the result we see and
feel but too plainly.

Remonstrances, under the title of petitions, will
load the table of the House of Commons the moment it
me:ts for the despatch of business. The Chartists are
not idle, although not well directed—and the Anti-Corn-
law movement is becoming daily more concentrated and
more energetic. Birmingham, which long held aloof
from the free-trade agitation, gives the promise of occu-
pying the front rank on the question of questions which
it achieved in the battle for the R. 'form Bill.-111a7icites-
ter Times.
The Managing Committee of the " Central
Reform Society ' have resolved on having a public din-
ner, to be continued yearly, on an early day in January.
Mr. Wakley, M.P., one of the Vice-Presidents, will be
invited to take the chair. They have a treaty for a
public Conference with the Chartists on the tapir, and
propose to have a g(neral public meeting of all the mem-
bers a few days previous to the meeting of Parliament.
