The accounts of the state of trade in the provinces
during the past week show a decided tendency to reaction
from the increased depression which in one or two quarters
had lately begun to manifest itself. At Manchester the
lowness of stocks, coupled with the tirmer tone of the Li-
verpool cotton-market, has apparently produced more con-
fidence than has prevailed for some weeks past. At Bir-
mingham the prospects of business with the United states,
as well as the general condition of the export trade, cause
continued animation. In the iron districts also there is a
perceptible improvement. The hosiery manufacture at
Nottingham is active, and the appearance of the woollen
markets at Leeds and elsewhere seems to indicate alight
revival.
