These figures prove an astonishing increase of manu-

factures-in England within twelve or fourteen years.
In so far as the present scarce supply arises from ex-
tended consumption, it is attended with much consola-
tion ; and there can be little doubt that the production
of the raw materials will be so stimulated by existing
prices, as soon to bring thu gt:pply up to the demand.
The extension dour manufaottiro is one of the effects

LaEDS TRADE. —Business still continues exceedingly
dull in our cloth-halls for the Seacion ; there is, how-
ever, little or no alteration in prices, the manufacturers
continuing to turn off their hands and hold td their
terms, under the impression that no material alteration
will take place in foreign wool, so as td enable them
to replace their present stocks. Thee is a little im-
provement in the demand in the warehouses, although
a small number of buyers have been at the market,
compared to what is usually the case at this period of
the year. ",
BRADFORD, MARCH 27.—There has been alyont the
same quantity of business done in wools as for several
weeks previous ; prices are from ten to fifteen per cent.
lower than they were a month ago. The yarn market
to-day continues flat. The spinners are unwilling to
accept the prices offered by the manufacturers, as they
have already submitted to a considerable reduction.
There has been rather more business done to-day in
our piece-market than for some weeks past : prices a
shade lower.

HUDDERSFIELD, MARCH 25.—There has been less
cloth sold to-day than on Tuesday last, and business is
in general flat. The manufacturers are making fewer
goods. What, indeed, can they do else ? They cannot
readily sell their goods at remunerating prices ; they
cannot buy wool any lower ; they are therefore dis-
posed to hold what they have, and to make as few more
as possible till prices improve. '
HALIFAX.—General languor still pervades our stuff
trade, and very little business is being done at present.
There has not, however, been much declension in
prices, as the stocks on hand, both of goods and wools,
are very limited, which causes holders of both to be
indifferent about selling, unless they can obtain some-
thing like former prices. Many of our principal ma-
nufacturers are, however, curtailing their hours of
labour very considerably, and, rather than increase
stocks at the present price of wool, have turned off a
considerable proportion of their operatives, as they are
afraid that an accumulation of goods would have a ten-
dency to bring down prices. We are happy to say
that the exportation of yarns is not so much at a stand
as is that of manufactured goods, and that consider-
able orders from various parts of both France and Bel-
gium continue to be received.
ROCHDALE.—The flannel market on Monday was
thinly attended. No alteration took place in prices,
yet the buyers seem to expect a reduction. The wea-
vers and spinners have not more than four days' work
in a week, and there are but few goods beforehand.
The silk weaving in Lancashire is very slack, and
particularly so for this season of the year.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TA TTERSALL' S.

The Yorkshire horse yesterday was again on the
decline, 6 to 1 being offered to a " sum of money,"
and no inclination manifested to back him. Bentley
was in force ; one bet of 7 to 1 was made, and towards
the close of the afternoon a gentleman connected with
the party offered to back him at the same price to four
or five hundred pounds. Olympic on the decline ;
Glencoe, Viator, and Posthuma improving ; the latter
was backed to nearly three hundred pounds. Deli-
rium at 30 to 1 was friendless ; and Emigrant, re-
ported to have fallen amiss on his road, is only nomi-
nally in the betting. Mr. Ridsdale's Botanist is added
to the outsiders ; he is spoken of as something better
than usual. Closing odds :---
