LOODIANA, DEC. 21.

As the whole of the British.troops have marched towards
Ferozeporo from Loodiana, Umballab, and Meerut, thus
leaving this part of the country unprotected, the people of
this place are going away in great numbers. Two companies
of sepoys are in the fort, but not one man is left in the city.
The fort is, however, well prepared, guns are mounted, and the
sick European and native soldiers ought to be able to hold it.
All the ladies are gone in there. Yesterday they directed the
whole of their servants to collect supplies for eight days.
The order caused great alarm in the town, and it is greatly
regretted that the British should have left the place so tho-
roughly unprotected. It is said that Sirdar Runjoor Singh
is marching direct upon Phulour, w ith a large body of troops,
and will cross the Sutlej. The number of the inhabitants is
reduced to one-half, and all who could do so have carried, off
their property.

(From the Agra Ukbar, Dec. 24.)
Reports, from native sources, are current in our Bazaar,
that General Sir J. H. Littler, after an action with the Seikh
troops, has obtained a victory, inflicting on them a great
slaughter, and himself suffering a loss of some eight officers,
400 or 500 men killed or wounded. It is also said that a de-
tachment of the 2d Grenadiers, of probably 200 strength,
escorting treasure with or to the Governor-General's camp,
have been attacked and suffered considerably.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
THE BOMBAY MARKET.
(From the Chamber of Commerce Overland Price Current.)
BOMBAY, JAN. 1, 1846.—We have on the present occasion to
report a very general depression in the market for imports, and a
decline, in some instances considerable, in the value Of most articles
of British trade. There can be little doubt that the commencement
of hostilities with the Punjaub, combined With the prospects of a
partial failure of the crops in the interior, has contributed to exert a
prejudicial eftct upon trade ; but the present unfavourable state of
affairs is more immediately owing to the prevalent scarcity of
money, to which we made allusion in our last. This dearth of the
circulating medium became, shortly after the departure of the mall,
of so very serious a character, that the banks were obliged to refuse
the usual accommodation to the mercantile public, even where loans
were asked on the security of Government paper, at high rates of i
interest. Within the last few days the money market has been
somewhat easier, but a severe pressure still exists, and trade has as
yet exhibited no indicatieu of recovery from the effects of the
scarcity. In the course of a short time, hewever, this temporary
embarrassment will doubtless correct itself, and things be restoreti
to their former footing.
Metals—The prices of every description of copper, mot nails, of
which article we have to report a sale of 12 cwt. at 56r. per cwt.;
have nominally declined, and, in the total absence of active &Mend,
transactions have been in the last degree limited, 111113ritish bar iron
there has also been a nominal decline in price, the present rate being
29r. to 30r. per candy. Swedish, en the exn-tirary, has slightly hit•
proved in value, a sale of 100 tons 11-aving taken plate at 51r. per
candy. In nail rod, round is ',",;nowt change, but square
.is scarce;
and in some request, ano, ",no price has improved Sr. per 014. lii
hoop, sheet, and awns, there is little alteratiou to notice. The first-
named sort, however, is `ranted, and a sale of 800 bundles is said to
have tet.en place a few days since at 6jir., the price now quoted.
In iron nails there have been transactions at 11%r. and 12%r. per
cwt. respectively. Steel in tubs is cheaper than before—in fag-
gots, without change. There has been a sale of opener, large-sized
plates, at 15r. 2a. per cwt., and neither in this article Rot* in lead,
quicksilver, or tin plates, is there any material change to notice, in
value or demand.

Cotton Manufactures—The scarcity of money has, as might be
supposed, affected the trade in cotton fabrics more than any other
description of British imports. With the exception of 45-inch gray
shirtings and stout gray domestics, of which latter the stock is
light, and for which a demand exists for shipment to Arabia, every
kind of cotton piece goods has been more or less depressed in value.
The better qualities of gzay tuadf.peda.ms, and gray and bleached
shirtings, have been hi request, and some transactions in them have
taken place, but holders have nevertheless been obliged to submit to
a reduction on former rates. For bleached madapollams, and gray
and bleached jacconeto, there is no demand, and even the finer

qualities of the latter, which before commanded fair prices, can now
only be sold in small quantities at unremunerating rates. The gene-
rality of dyed, printed, and fancy goods, are without inquiry, and
few transactions have taken place in them.
Yarns —The lower numbers of mule twist have latterly declined
somewhat in price, and the demand has become languid. From No.
60 to 100, however, there has been no change. Water remains sta-
tionary, with the exception of No. 30, which, owing to the lightness
of the t Lock, has arisen from 9%a. to 10a. and 104 d. per lb. In dyed
yarns we have heard of no transactions. Turkey red, we believe, is
in slight request, and has declined somewhat in value. Orange
wholly unsaleable.
Woollens—For these there is but little demand, and it is difficult
to obtain remunerating prices. The only sale of which we have
heard Is In blankets, of which 240 pairs have been disposed of at 7r.
per pair.
Marine Stores—Little or nothing appears to have been done in the
articles under this head. Paints are somewhat lower, and the prices
of the other items must be regarded as nominal.
Beer—The market Is still quite inactive, and we quote prices,
which continue nominal, a little lower than before.

Spirits —ln these there is no change.
Cochineal —Prices have an upward tendency, and we hear of a re-
cent sale of 1,3601 b. silver grain, at 3r. 9a. per lb.
Ped and White Lead—Red lead continues without alteration, but
in white a nominal reduction of price, to the extent of 2r. per cwt.,
has taken place since our last.
EASTERN PRODUCE.

Cotton—The prices of produce have felt the effect of the pressure.
on the money-market, the same as those c f British imports, and
cotton, amongst other things, has declined in value from 4r. to 6r.
per candy. Even this reduction, however, has not occasioned any
great activity, or led to extensive purchases for shipment to England.
Several native holders have shipped produce, receiving Government
advances at is. I Id. per rupee—the established rate fixed a short
time since by the authorities, and which has not been altered. Sub-
joined are the rates now current for this staple :
Broach and Surat, Mr. to 82r. per candy ; Dholler, 80r. ; Oomra-
wuttee, 78r. to 80r. • Barsee, 75r. ; Comptah, 70r.
Coffee—Both Mocha and Malabar have declined slightly in value,
and are now quoted respectively at Sr.l(t to. Or. and 61,4 r.,per maand.
Guins—Animl is sr. ; and-Arabic lr. per cwt. cheaper. 011banum
unaltered.

!temp—The Concan and Calicut varieties have advanced in value
to the extent of 6r. per candy. In Ghatee there is no change.
Opium is 25r. per chest lower than last month.
Wool—A decline in price to the extent of sr. to 10r. per candy has
taken place in this article. We now quote the several varieties as
'Views : _ _ _

Khorassan, 13.5 r. per candy ; Mekran, 126 r.; Marwar, 120 r. ;
Cutch, 125 r. to 130 r.
In other articles of produce we hear of no change.
' FREIGHTS.

There have been numerous arrivals since our last, but, owing to
the engagement of several vessels to load on the Malabar coast and
at Madras, no decline has taken place in the rates of freight. On
the contrary, an advance of Ifs. per ton upon the rates current a
fortnight ago is now generally asked to Great Britain. This, how-
ever, has not yet been paid, shippers being indisposed to give more
than W. 55., which may now be considered the nominal rate both to
London and Liverpool. There is ne ship on the berth for the Clyde.
Freight to China is 15r. per candy.
MONEY MARKET.

Government paper has declined in value. The following are the
current rates : _ _ .

5 per cent. Loan of 1825-26
4 ditto ditto 1832-33
4 ciao ditto 1835-36
5 ditto ditto 1841-42

- its. 107 to 110
- 99 to 101
- 94 to 95
- 104 to 105
- 94 to 95

Exchange—Transactions have_ taken place since our last at
2s. o%d. per rupee for six months' bills on England, but the rate on
Tuesday was 2s. o%d, and yesterday 2s. to 2s. o%cl. for: drafts at
six months. On Calcutta and Madras the rate is 96r. at 60 days.
Banks—The shares of both banks have given way; those of the
Bombay Bank to 48 per cent. premium, and those of the Oriental
Bank to 190 r. to 210 r. premium on shares of I,ooor. 500 r. paid up. ;;;;

(From the Calcutta Overland Price Current of Dec. 20.)
We 'were, on the morning of the 7th, put in possession of accounts
from home to the 24th of October, via Bombay, but the letters of that
date, per Ilindostan, were not delivered until late on the following

evening, so that but few could hare been replied to by the Bentinck,
although the closing of the mail was deferred from three to six r.M ,
for that purpose. The result of the October indigo sale, which was
anxiously looked for when we last wrote, appeared to disappoint. the

- -
expectations of most parties here, and cau.seciti cessation of operations
for a few days; bnt the market has since been more settled, as will be
seen by reference to our remarks on the dye. The accounts of both
raw silk and silk piece goods have caused purchasers to act with great

caution, but with these exceptions, all descrlptions of produce have been
in brisk demand, and a very large business has been: done, which
would doubtless have been even further increased, but for a slight
advance in the rate of our exchange on England, and above all, the
extreme scarcity of tonnage, or, as we should rather say, the inade-
quacy of the supply to the shipments in progress, as the river is at

present anything but bare of shipping. -
Our import market continues In a most unsatisfactory state, for,
notwithstanding that the accounts received from home of several
. .

articles have caused some holders to manifest a determination to

resist the comparatively low currency established here, it has not as
yet produced any other effect than that of curtailing business, as
dealers do not show the least anxiety to operate, except to a mode.
rate extent for local consumption.
Exchange has been gradually advancing, and good 10 months
date bills may now be quoted at Is. 11%d. to Is. 11%d. per rupee,
but this has already had the effect of causing several parties to send
their goods through the export warehouse, and it seems probable
(should Government coatinue their advances at the present rate,

which the probability —of a war in the Punjaub makes somewhat
doubtful) that a considerable portion of this season's indigo will be
drawn against from that source ; so that the only apparent reason
for the late advance is the abundance of China bills at six months'
sight, which are said to have been offering in Bombay at 2s. to
2s. o%d. per rupee, or the limited demand for bills caused by the

very moderate business doing in imports.
Freights have advanced considerably since our last, and as nearly
the whole of the dead weight in the river, as well as a portion of that
to arrive, has already been engaged, we cannot see any reason to
look for an immediate decline, but with the present inquiry for ves-
sels for the Mauritius, think a further advance almost equally pro-
bable, except in the event of less favourable accounts being received
from home of our more bulky articles of export.
Indigo—Six public sales have been held since our last, in the course
of which eyery description has been offered. At first the finer quali-
ties attracted most attention, but these selling, generally speaking,
much above the limits, there has, of late, been more anxiety man!-
rested to operate in low and middling sorts, which had before been

comparatively neglected.
Very little has been done by private contract, buyers being in most
instances indisposed to purchase large parcels, in expectation that
the accounts by the mail now due will have the effect of lowering
the currency here, and the only transactions we have heard of aro
the annexed

A much larger business would, however, have been

done had holders been disposed to accept the offers made, which were,
In several instances, very fair, considering the pricos now ruling,

notwithstanding that the upward tendency of exchange has rendered
many less desirous to operate. At the public sales the biddings were
good, and the rates obtained may be quoted at five to fifteen rupees
above those of last year.

It will be remarked that exports are not going forward so quickly
as customary, but we still think planters will, in most instances, be
disposed to sell at present rates, rather than run the risk of shipping

on their own account.

Sugar—We have but little alteration to notice in the price of this
staple, but, if anything, it has been in favour of purchasers : supplies
of second and third Benares have come forward more freely than is
customary at this season, but continue to find a ready sale, especially
the finer descriptions. Of really fine white none is procurable,
but a few hundred bags of what might almost be called fair
first quality hare been taken in at 13r. Ba. to 13r. 12a. per
manna, bring an advance of nearly 2r. on the price the same
sugar would have brought six months since. Several 'shipments of
European manufacture have of late gone forward, but we hear of
but few sales in this market : Dalloa and Date sugars have only been
obtainable to a most insignificant extent, and these, as well as
Khaurs, continue entirely neglected for shipment. Exports to
Great Britain, from the Ist inst. up to date, amount to 100,816
maunds. - _ _ • - _ _

Saltpetre—This articl.l has continued in brisk demand for the home
market, and Gudna has sold freely at from 6r, 4a. to 7r. per mound,
ototwithstandinr„ that it has for some time past been anything but
easy to procure freight even at our quotations, most vessels (espe-
cially those for Liverpool) preferring a cargo of rice ; good Chuprahs
and other descriptions have also fully maintained their price, although
inferior sorts of heavy refraction must be quoted lower. To Ame-
rica shipments have not of late been very heavy, but a fair amount
of business continues to be done.
Rice—The new crop has been arriving freely since our last, but
the demand continues too brisk to allow of stocks accumulating, and
parcels as they arrive find an immediate sale at, for good table,
2r. 12a. to-3r. per md., with inferior descriptions in proportion ; and
as the almost unprecedentedly high ruling of freights (61. to 61. 6s.
per ton) has not has yet had the slightest effect in curtailing opera-
tions, we see no reason to look for any decline until less favourable
advices are received from home.

Since the receipt of accounts from theiMauritius, stating that owing
to the alarmingly short supply on the island the Governor had been
induced to offer a bonus of 12 annas per bag, for all imported after the
Ist of February, considerable purchases of Moonghy and Balam have
been made, and prices have advanced to our quotations, notwith-
standing that they cannot be sent forward within 8 to 8 to 12 per bag
of the rates current at the date of our last.

Eaw Silk—This article continues almost entirely neglected, trans-
actions having been confined to a few small lots which holders were
forced to realise at whatever price they could obtain; the large
holders, seeing that it would be useless to attempt sales in the present
state of the market, are holding back, and a considerable portion of
the last bund is still In the interior : prices must be looked upon as
quite nominal, for although we do not hear of any lot having been
offering much under our last quotations, we think, were purchasers
to show any disposition to operate, they would be readily met by the
native holders, who seem sensible that no material improvement can
be looked for for some time to come. Exports to Great Britain from
the Ist inst. up to date are only 618 mds.
silk Piece Goods—Superior cloths continue in Moderate inquiry,
but of these few are obtainable, and all others are completely ne-
glected except at a very material decline on the rate lately eturent ;
and this holders, generally speaking, show no disposition at present
to submit to ; the large stOcks of silk in the Mefussil will Most pro-
bably induce an increase in the manufacture of these goods-
Oilseeds—The difficulty experienced in effecting shipments, ex-
cept in broken stowage, keeps ekports to great Britain on A mode-
rate scale, Mit in prime we have nothing to notice, linseed espe-
cially, from the continued demand for America, baieg seldom al-
lowed to accumulate in the bazaar to any extent.
Jute—But ltttle change has taken place in the value of this ar-
ticle, as, owing to the comparatively small shipments of light freight
going forward at present, some tesleisi are Still willing tb btke it
at the rates current on the 6th (about 4/. ss. per ton), and there
appearing but little probability of its being sent forward under this
for some Ulna to come, several parties luWe been induced to operate.
Shell Lae and Lac Dye,--In our last we had to report an eitelthd
market for the former article, bat accounts since received of the
state of the home market being less satisfactory than were antici-
pated, the demand has again fallen off, and bitt little 4 it Anything;
has been done. Lac Dye continues in demand for both England and
North America, but very little suitable to the fbrmer market is at

purchases of low and middling qualities at somewhat advanced
rates.

are reported, but at miserable rates, and in fact jaconets and Ma-
dapollams are only saleable at an enormous sacrificer which may also
be said for almost all other goods under this head.
Coloured and Printed Goods—This market continues (inlet at pre-
vious rates, the Caitlinl dealers not having as yet commenced their
purchases.
Woollens—All descriptions are in very moderate demand and
without improvtment in prices.
White Male Twist—Number 30's are firm, bat almost all other
counts are difficult of sale to any extent at previous rates.
Coloured Yarn—But little has been done in yarn since our last,
and prices may be quoted as then.
Copper—Notwithstanding the accounts received from horse, we
find many parties selling freely at last month's rates, and a fair ex-
tent of business has been gone through.
Iron—Transactions have not been heavy, but rather better prices
have been obtained, British bar being now worth ars. 4a. to ars. Sa.,

BOLTON.--COLLIERS' TURN-OUT.—The dispute be-
tween the colliers and their employers, in this district, still
continues without any appearance of an arrangement, and
the supply of engine coal in particular has become so scarce
that some mills have been obliged to run short time for wan t
of fuel. We hear, however, that the Darcy Lever Coal
Company have agrild to give the advance asked for, viz.,

most forcibly of this Bee of the poet, upon looking at our

one so young; a promise, too, which the lapse of every day

TO THE FRIENDS OF NATIVE
INDUSTRY IN GREAT BRITAIN AND
IRELAND.

(From the Horning Post.)
Chevening, near Sevenoaks, Jan. 29.
Friends and fellow-countrymen--On your conduct
at the present crisis may depend the happiness or the
misery, the prosperity or the adversity, of our country ;
and I therefore think it my uuty to address you on the
protection of native industry, which is most interesting
and important to all classes of the community, and which
cannot be securcd without your energetic and united ex-
ertions. I feel the more entitled to address you as I be-
long to no political party, as I wish for nothing that any
Minister could bestow, as I have no motives of personal
ambition, and as I am animated by an ardent zeal for
the public welfare.
_

Full and effectual protection to our native industry
may most justly be claimed by all those who are en-
gaged in any of its various branches, and especially in
agriculture, on account of the exclusive burdens which it
bears, and of the paramount importance of providing
food for the population without being dependent upon
foreign supplies. Under the protection which was
given to agriculture, the produce of the soil has been
very much increased by extending and improving its
cultivation, and the manufacturers have flourished for
the home market is still to them the most valuable, as
well as the most secure. There are still in these islands
several millions of acres of waste land, which, if agri-
culture were sufficiently protected, might be cultivated
with advantage, and give much additional employment to
labourers, but which must otherwise remain unproductive
and unprofitable.
If protection should be withwrawn from agriculture,
this country would depend for the chief necessaries of
life on the supplies which foreign nations might be able
or willing to furnish ; the cultivation of the land would
be discouraged ; the markets would be scantily pro-
vided with its produce ; and, in the event of unfavour-
able seasons, we might be exposed to all the horrors of
actual famine. There is at present no reason whatever
to apprehend even a scarcity, for, although there is in
some districts a deficiency in the crop of potatoes, it is '
well known, and it has been proved by exact inquiries,
that there exists an abundance of food in these islands,
perhaps a greater abundance than is now to be found in
some foreign countries. If, however, this country ex-
perienced a scarcity of corn, the prices would rise, and
the duties on its importation would fall till they were
reduced to Is. per quarter.
The arguments (if such, indeed, they can be called)
which are used in favour of a free trade in corn, would
apply also to every other article of general consumption,
to the produce of pastures as well as of arable land, and
to manufactured goods, whether they are made by
machinery or by manual labour, and the industry of our
own countrymen, in whatever mode it is employed, would
be much depressed, and, in many cases, utterly destroyed,
while that of foreign nations would be encouraged.
Great indignation would very justly be excited, if
foreign labourers or artisans were to be brought to
this country, because they might work for lower wages,
and it is obvious that they would deprive of employment
an equal number of our own countrymen. The same in-
jury would be inflicted on our own labourers and artisans
by the adoption of free trade, and the foreigners by whom
we should be supplied contribute nothing to the taxes
which we pay upon so many articles of consumption.
The effects of free trade, as far as it has hitherto been
extended, have already been found to be most melan-
choly, by the impoverishment of so many of our artisans,
whose skill and industry have become unprofitable to
them, as they are now undersold by foreigners in our
own markets, and have thus been deprived of employ-
ment and of the means of subsistence. The adoption of
free trade in its full extent would bring ruin on all the
industrious classes, many of whom might be driven from
their native soil, while others might be confined in union
workhouses. Property of every description would be
insecure, destitution would produce despair, disaffection
might become universal, and the inevitable result would
be anarchy and revolution.
It is your duty to consider whether you will allow this
country to be exposed to such awful calamities and con-
vulsions, or whether you will avert them by protecting
the rights and promoting the interests of all those who
are engaged in native industry—whether you will tole-
rate the new-fangled and mischievous doctrines of free
trade, or whether you will insist upon restorinz the po-
licy of our ancestors, which gave such prosperity and
power to the British empire. If this country is to be
governed upon the principles of free trade, they must
be applied in their fullest extent, for any exceptions from
them would be an intolerable injustice, and they cannot
be thus applied without reducing our taxation and our
prices to the level of even the poorest nations. The ne-.
cessary effect of a free competition with foreigners in the
home market would be to impoi eeish all classes of the
community, and to lower the wages of labour as well as
the profits of trade.
If, on the contrary, you are determined to discharge
your duty by demanding full and effectual protection
to all the industrious classes—if you will show any por-
tion of that patriotism and public spirit which were dis-
played in former periods of our history, you will, upon
this occasion, act without any reference to past politics,
for you are aware that in both political parties there are
to be found friends of native industry. You should not,
however, ;be:satisfied with vague :and general !profes-
sions, and you should not bestow your confidence on
any individual who will not give those distinct and posi-
tive pledges which you have an undoubted right to ask,
and which no honest man ought to hesitate in granting.
You should confide only in those persons on whose in-
tegrity you can entirely rely, and you should, without
regard to rank, or wealth, or local influence, employ in
your service those persons whose talents enable them
'to defend your rights, from whatever quarter
they may be assailed. Act, as it is your bounden duty
to do, with energy and union, with the courage and
constancy which are worthy of the cause, and your
triumph is secure, for
.you will be supported by immense
and overwhelming majorities in all the Industrial classes,
all of whom have a common interest in opposing the
progress of free trade. lam firmly convinced that on
this question the greatest possible unanimity prevails
amongst all the labouring classes, who are not only the
most numerous, but also the most valuable to the state,
and they ought to be fully represented in the House of
Commons.
That you may have the happiness and honour of avert-
ing from our country the ruin and revolution which would
be the results of free trade, and that your zealous exer-
tions in the cause of native industry may be crowned
with complete success, is the fervent prayer of your
very faithful friend, STANHOPE.

THE MANUFACTURES OF THE
STAFFORDSHIRE POTTERIES.
(From the St iffordshire Mercury.)
An important and highly influential meeting of the
manufacturers of this district, engaged in the American
trade, took place at Trentham Inn, on Monday last.
Most of the principal manufacturers were present, or re-
presented at the
i meeting, which was called for the pur-
pose of taking into consideration the propriety of re-
vising prices, and reducing the extravagant discounts ;
such proceeding was rendered necessary by the scarcity
of coal and its consequent advance in price ; also the
advance in price of clays, flint, and other materials ; the
expected advance of 3s. to 4s. per ton for freight, other
causes also operating to render our staple manufactures
far from adequately remunerative. In the production of
the darker patterns of printed ware, indeed, it is calcu-
lated that the additional cost to the manufacturer will be
sid. per dozen. John Ridgway, Esq., was called to the
chair.
After the fullest discussion of the various points, a
series of resolutions were agreed to by all present, and
the concurrence of others who were absent has been
subsequently very generally obtained, the greatest una-
nimity indeed prevailing on the subject. The principal
points of the resolutions are—
" That the earthenware trade, in common with others,
ought to advance its prices, or lower its discounts, with
the increase of demand and expenses, and should not
form an exception to the general rule.
" That the increased costly quality of all fine goods
the large proportion of a common description, the extra-
vagantly large sizes, and expensive shapes, together with
the greatly increased thickness or weight of articles now
made for the American market, render it absolutely ne-
cessary that prices should fully cover the cost of produc-
tion, and fairly remunerate the manufacturer.
" That the time has now arrived when such is the in-
creased and increasing price of coals and slack, flint,
lead, freights, and the various advances of workmen's
wages, that there must either be an immediate advance
on the selling prices or goods be made at a positive loss.
"That the list of 1814, as enlarged Dec. 1, 1843, and
as revised Jan. 26, 1846 (this day), shall be the govern-
ing prices of the American trade.
" That all orders taken in England on and after the
4th of Februay, 1846, and in America subsequent to the
arrival of the steamer leaving Liverpool that day, be on
the revised list of prices, and ROW rates of discount.
" On all common goods £35 per cent.
On all figured ware
On all light blue printed pink, brown,
green, and purple
On all dark blue printed
On all flowing blue 25 I,
On all pearl white ware ............... :
" That a circular be prepared, embracing the requisite
part of these resolutions, and that the same be forwarded
per steamer on the 4th of February, from Liverp
all principals, agents, and country dealers, advising them
that no orders will be taken after the arrival thereof,
except on the revised list of prices and new rates of
discount.
That it be specially recommended to all manufac-
turers going ont to the United States, and to agents re-
siding there, immediately to meet on the receipt of these
notices, in order, first, to carryout the advance, with
the revised new 1814 list, forthwith; and, secondly, to
establish such a mode of communication together as
shall secure their honourable observance."
A circular has been addressed to the manufacturers
generally, recommending the limitation of work to three
days a week, in order that the supply should not exceed
the demand: `ire do not hear, however, that this re-
commendation is likely to be adopted.
