STATE OF TRADE.—MANCEESTER, THURSDAY,
FEB. 7.—The advance in yarns and cloths obtained on
Tuesday was firmly maintained this morning, and there was
a disposition on the part of both spinners and manufacturers
to demand still higher rates. Purchasers, however, did not
appear in such force, and there was a heavy market. The
business effected was generally at Tuesday's rates. The tele-
graphic announcements from the morning papers of the diffi-
culties encountered in all the combinations of parties yet at-
tempted in the formation of a Government exercised a dis-
turbing influence, and was apparently one cause of checking
operations, The export trade has been of a rather more
general character, including some purchases on account of
Italy and Germany, as well as for the East. The print trade
continues dull, though there is a good variety of new styles,
and prices have been rather favourable.
