STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, TUESDAY, APRIL 13 —l•Totwitlistand
ing the pressure in the money marle-t, there sve-
rather more inquiry yesterday both for goods and yarn,
and a fair amount of business might have been
,lone, if spinners and manufacturer* would have con-
sented to accept the prices current last week; bat
the further advance in cotton —equal to a full farthin
per pound since Friday—led neicessariy to a demsn.;
for higher prices. which had the effect of cheekier.;
transactions, especially in goods. In some &scrip-
tions of yarn, however, the demands of the spinner-
were partially acceded to, and purchases were
le
made at an -Nance of id. on last week's prier*.
We regret to learn that the a-ceutits received by tht
Felelia, from New York, and the Colchester, from.
Charleston, both to the 16th ult., tend strongly to cur-
reborate previous stateme nta as to the deficiency
the last cro of cotton. The week) receipts at th..
pens, whicti,p at one time, were steadily in excess of
those of the preceding year, had, iluretig the last three
weeks, fallen off so rapidly, that, at the latest dates.
the total teceipts of the present year exceeded those o'
Om last year by only 4,500 hales. I:ltv,!l'?kieticy the
year at New o,lean.# and 7111,,bitfy amounted to 200 001
bales ; and the current estimates of the total produce of
the-crop rather fell short of than exceeded 1.800,000
bales. Uoder these circtunstanc,s, it is not surpribilo..
to find the cotton mark.-t advancing at a rate whist:
leaves the price of this market far behind. Every sue
ceseive advance in the raw material plans toe
spinner and manutacturer in a worse condition
than before ; and a continuance of the pre,eto
buoyant state of the Liverpool market must lead to e
rapid diminution of production. We learn that a large
concern in this town, and another at Preston, who had
been previously working three days per week, have en-
tirely'to be very extensively followed by the spinners a coarse
closed their mills; and that their example is hiker
yarns.
ROCHDALE, MONDAY, APRIL 12.—We have had a
better attendance of buyers in the market to-day, but
there is no decided improvement for the better to report.
There is another failure in the manufacturing line
announced; the liabilities are variously stated as ranging
from 12,0001. to 18,0001., a very small portion of which
is in Rochdale; the principal creditors are at Hudders-
field. The wool market continues flat, without anj
change in prices worth noticing.
HALIFAX MARKET, APRIL 10.—The piece trade
remains in pretty much the same dull conditiori
as for some time past. The slight improve.
ment in yarn, noted last week, continues, and,
in some cases, accompanied by an advance in price.
The stocks of long wool are becoming lighter, and it is
probable more firmness would have been manifested, a,
the growers refuse to part with it at prices that would
pay the stapler here, but the increasing tightness of
money leads all prudent parties to keep down stocks.
The transactions in short wool are not extensive, and
the finer qualities are rather easier to buy ; but the
lower qualities remain firm, as the supply is not abun-
dant.

HUDDERSFIELD, APRIL 13.—Trade has been very dull
in our market to day, and there have been but few
buyers. The foreign houses continue to receive a fair
amount of orders; but those connected with the home
trade make great complaints.
LEEDS, APRIL 13.—There is no alteration in the
state of our market; business was scarcely so good last
Saturday, and to-day not much has been doing,
but prices are fully maintained. The unsettled
state of the money market could not but check
mercantile operations ; people, begin, however,
to reason more calmly on the subject, anti,
trusting to a liberal policy which the Bank of England
will adopt towards the trading corn nunity, they think
that, with upwards of ten millioni of bullion in the cot-
fers, there are no real causes for such a great alarm a,
has been sounded by speculators, and that things will
right th,,mielveg without forcing the.ifink to put on th,
screw so very tik,rhtly.—/Ifunchest2r Guardian.

STATE OF THE CORN MARKETS

IN FRANCE.

All the lt.tters received on Nlotiday in Paris from thi
towni round the capital, without excepion, speaks...
higher prices having been insisted on and obtained at
Sat, nvrkets. Fr ey also x press a conviction,
that from the shortm si of the supply ',filed for sal.
prices must again advance. The fo:loiving is given 133

Tti- accounts which we receive from Belgium state
that the c irn markets in that country were again very
firm, and that in some instances there had been a de-
cided advance in Kim:. The lndei.endence Beige says:—
'• I he fall in corn which begun to :,how itself seem-
already. to have stopped, although the fall which to k
glace in the last fortnight' of March
was far from
being so great as the enormous rise which took
place during the first few days of the same month ;
and although the pric..s are even now at a price so
excessive that it ought to inetuce holders to realise
their profits, the price* continue firm in all the markets
of Belgium. The variations in our market on Saturday
were of little consequence, and the same was the case at
Antwerl, Ghent, anti Louvain°. To-day the
provincial
pavers and our own private letters inform us that
prices hive remained without variation at Mons, Bas-
sett, and Namur, and that there was a slight fall at
Poperinghe and Verviers ; hut at Bruges wheat rose
from 2.. to '2f. 50c. per hectolitre. •
The tatitf for bread, at-Brussels, from the 12th of
April, is fixed as follows:-First
quali, 58c. per kilo-
gramme; second quality, 53e., and briwn bread, 4Ge.
Compared with the previous fortnight, there is a fall oil
lc. on the first and second qualities.

WARSAW, MARCH 29:—The arrest of persons
politically suspected still continues. •Twelve citizens
from the province have lately been brought to the citadel
of Warsaw, who, it is affirmed, have read a prohibited
work. Some rigorous measures of the police have late')
made travelling by the railroad very difficult. Nobody
can travel without a passport., even if be only has a few
miles to go. Passengers on their arrival are often sub-
jected to personal examinations, so that the police may
ascertainrave whethereane t
leavethey Warsawhav without the greatest
have prohibited
difficulties and obstacles being raised. The deplorable
prohibited publications.
T
account of last year has found imitators
among the peasants in Russia ; we learn that thirteep
ll:. rs
noblemen have lately been killed by their peasants in the
governments of Witepsk. General Dehn, the builder of
the citadel of Warsaw, has received directions to under-
take the iron railway from Warsaw to Moscow, which
has long been projected. The plan has already been ap-
proved of at St. Petersburgh. This railway is to join
Dear Moscow with that from St. Petersburg') to Moscow,
so that from til• point of junction it wilt be pooiible
go either to St. Peter,t;urgh or to Moscow. This rait-
way from St.. Petersburgh to bloictiiv to be completed
in the autumn of next year ; _50,000 workmen, besides
the peasants, are to be employed upon it, We now also
again hear of an iron railway from Moscow to Odessa.

that David Waddington, the Vice Chairman of the
' Eastern Counties Railway Company, is intended to be
proposed as his successor. In fact, an active canvass in
some quarters has already commence d on his behalf ; and
last night (Thursday) a special meeting of the (7onserva-
I live Club was held at the . Bite Boar Inn, Maldon, for
the purpose., we believe, of taking steps to promote the
Hon. Gentleman's return .for the borough. A. requisi-
tion is now in course of signature, inviting him to come
forward at 'a candidate.' The Hon. Gentleman has never
yet taken any very active part in the arena of political
lite, but his prineipl,,s are what are called Conservative,
and are, we believe, on most points in unison with those
of his colleague in office, George Hudson, Er-4..
