MANCHRSTER, AVEDN -
glad
to hear
people in the
metropolis will be
l that a very favourable
change has this week takemnepntacein the state of trade in
this town. The improvement, slightf as it is, after the
stagnancy and utter prostratio business among all
classes, is hailed with delight. Thereo is no great demand
for goods; yet there are indica.
promise of increased
activity in our staple trade,
numerous working
and tbet"s of approaching
and constant employment to our
population. The great bulk of the operatives here have
suffered severely during the winter season, std upt to
eus and
the
present time; so that the favourable change
at has
occurred will be received with thankfulness,
0
especially h
at a period of the :year when all nature is jy
when human enioyen,:ets and recreations are so accept_
able to the toiling thousaiids. A large addition has been
made this week to the number of workpeople engaged in
the cotton trade of the district, at d further augmentation
will shortly occur. THE TEN H.ouris' FAcToRIES ACT.
