STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, Feb. 12.—The renewed activity in the
Liverpool cotton•market, consequent•to some extent on
the asivices brought yesterday front the --United States
by the packet-ship America,. has bad a slight reaction
,1 upon this market, and there has been more business in
both yarn and cloth than could have been foreseen a few
days back, when everything was labouring; under de-
pression closed by the unfavourable news from lonia.
Buyer& here were holding back, under au impression that
bas prevailed nacre or less for some, time past, that the
price of cotton must corn's down more than it has yet
done; in cmsequenee of a m re plentiful supply, and
manufacturers fresh from their annual 5t001..-taking, with
its disclosures of heavy losses on the transactions of the
past year, were anxiously cautious to keep their hands
as free as possible for a favourable change in the raw
material. The advices from the United States, fixing
lower estimates than had been hitherto given of the crop
of cotton, couplqi with the results of recent observation
that the speculative tone of the Liverpool market was
encouraged by larger quantities of cotton being taken one
way or other by consumers than bad been expected, bare
for the present ebauged the course which both merchants
and manufacturers were disposed to pursue here, and
hence a renewal of businesathis morning in manufaeured
goods on a larger scale, though not unaccompanied with
much uneasiness and doubt as to the policy they are
driven to pursue. The advance on cotton is about 1 16d.

per lb., and spinners here have been in a position to ask
Ad. per lb. over the rates of last week,
.so that manufac
turcrs have been driven to sack a torrespc,nding advance.
In long cloths and T cloths for the Levant there bas
been a good demand, and business has been done in some
cases at a small Matinee, and in most instances at the
extreme rates of last Tuesday'. Bbl/tinge, toadapollarse,
and jaccone ts, which yore depressed and scarcely sale-
able last week, have to-3v found ready purchasers at
rates which were 'doclined-Usi Tuesday; ' i ' bo'm e
aces at an advance. But for a more ceneiderable ad7'
Vance asked by manufaCturers in anticipation of a yet
dearer raw material we should probably haveibad a still
larger business. In yarns, as alreadystated, an advance
of Ad. per lb. is asked, and with a feeling that prices
may yet be higher there has been a rather active demand
from home manufacturers and also from the Germane.
The demand for other markets has been pretty general,
but on a much less scale.

Messrs. John Slagg and Co. report this evening :
"There is a better feeling in the market, and a more
general demand to-day than we have had tor the last few
weeks. Jacconets, maiapolams, and shirtings, which
were so much depressed last week are now readily sale-
able at the extreme rates 'then asked, and in some in-
stances at a slight a lvance. Long cloths, T cloths, and
low printers continue in good request, at fall prices.
Many producers, however, owing to the growing im-
pression that prices of cotton will at least bo maintained,
are asking a considerable advance, and the business of
the day is in consequence much curtailed."
Messrs:George Fraser, Son, and Co. say The
demand for goods to day has been steady, with the ex-
ception of that perhaps for India fabrics, which are in
less inquiry, and in consequence of the state of the
cotton-market many sellers ask a little advance in prices.
Yarns are very firm in prices, with a tendency to some
advance."

LEEDS, Feb. 12.—The attendance in the cloth-halls
this morning was of about an average character, and a
fair amount of cloth changed hands. Where any dispo-
sition was shown to abate from the highest range of
prices for good woollens, both white and dyed, there was
not much difficulty in effecting sales. Clothiers did nt t
appear anxious to make reductions, the general opinion
being that wools will soon advance above their present
rates. A good attendance at the forthcoming sales in
the metropolis, which commence on Thursday next, is
an ticipated.
The following is the report of the Huddersfield mar-
ket of this day :
"There has been a good attendance of buyers, who
have been principally 'on the lookout for job lots cheap.
The demand for regular market goods is slightly im-
proved, and sales, on the whole, have been pretty brisk.
The spring patterns are in fair request. No change in
the wool-market."

THE CHEAP NEWSPAPER PRESS.—The Gloucestershire
Times, a three halfpenny newspaper, published at Glou-
cester, stopped publication on Saturday. It appears that
every copy of the paper cost more than. the sale price,
and yet some of the subscribers grumbled because it did
not contain more than " the old fivepenny paper."
Ober parties coolly proposed to the proprietors to in-
sert their advertisements gratuitously, for.six months,
" by way of a trial."
A FEMALE RECRIIIT.—On Friday, a young woman,
about 17 years of age, enlisted into the.97th Regiment,
a recruiting party of which corps is stationed at Wind-
sor. Although she slept that evening in a room where
there were several beds occupied by men, her sex was
not discovered until next morning, when being taken
before the medical officer for examination, and ordered
to strip, as is usual on such occasions, she was obliged
to confess that she was a woman. She was then taken
before the magistrates, charged with obtaining the
Queen's money under false pretences, and remanded.
It is said that she enlisted in order to be enabled to
join her sweetheart, who is in a cavalry regiment in
the Crimea. A subscription has been commenced for
her in Windsor.
[AnvnarissmsNr.l—The difficulties and dangers of bringing
up Infants by hand or wet nurses have been entirely over-
come by Du Barry's delicious Revalenta Arabica Food, which
feeds, strengthens, and removes all those little pains and irre-
gularities infants are so subject to. The following letters
speak volumes :—" Grammar School, Stevenage, 16th Dec.,
1850. Gentlemen,—l think it but common justice to you to
state that I have used Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica for the
last four months, during which time our infant has never bad
disordered bowels, from which it had suffered much during
the previous six months, whilst being nursed, though every
care was-taken to prevent it. Had I known of your !minable
Food sooner it would have saved my infant much pain, and
me also the heavy expense of a wet nurse.—l am, &c., ROBERT
AMBLER." Cure 2,704.—"1 consider you ablessing to society
at large. It is not to be told all the benefit Du Barry's
Revalenta Arabica Food has been to me, and
my little boy cries for a saucer of it every morning.—
WALTER. KEATING, 2, Manning-place, Five Oaks, Jersey."
" 21, Queen's-tcnacc, Bayswater, London, Nov. 22, 1842.
Mr. Dampier will thank Messrs. Du Barry and Co. to send
him another canister of their Revalenta Arabica, it
agreed so well with his infant." (This infant was.
10 days old when it commenced living on the Ilevapnta.)—
