STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, TUESDAY,
MAncir 4.—We have no mail from the States this week, in
consequence of the failure of the Atlantic on her outward
voyage on the 28th December last. Meanwhile the demand
for cotton continues good, and prices have an upward ten-
dencv ; and must further be advanced, unless the next ad-
vied from the States show the receipts at the ports to have
increased to some extLnt over those previously reported.
We observe a growing conviction, that the crops will be
both short and poor, and the propagators of an opposite opi-
nion are beginning to be shyed on 'Change; and deservedly
so, since they have done a world of mischief to their dupes.
This market has been steady and firm to-day, without ani-
mation. The Greeks and Germans have operated in yarns;
the home trade are doing more. The weather is encou-
raging.
