The Constitutionnel of this morning says :
" The Counsellors of the Ciown are discussing the
question whether it would be advisable to reply to
the interpellations which have been annouuccd,and
thereby divulge the programme of the Govern-
ment. No decision oa this point has yet been ar-
rived at, and therefore yesterday's report of the in-
tentions of the Government are premature."

STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, July B.—The market is even
quieter to-day than on Tuesday. This is partly due
to the arrivals in the Mersey of overdue cotton, of
which 32,000 bales came into port yesterday,
and 21,000 bales this morning. It is also
due in part to the continued failures. 'The sus-
pension is announced of Mr. Burne, of Brinde,
Preston, in addition to those of Mr. Gc. Smithy
of Inver-bank Mill, and Messrs. Jackson. They
are all large manufacturers as well as spin
ners, the machinery of the three mills consisting of
82,000 spindles, and nearly 2,000 looms. The
market is slightly but very little easier under these
circumstances, but buyers of cloth do not hesitate
so much owing to prices as from th.e -circum-
stances that, besides having lately purchased
largely from stock, they have a good many con'
tracts placed in the hands of manufacturers for
future delivery. It is hardly expected that cotton
will be much cheaper, though the prim may he
affected a little temporarily by the heavy arrivals
of cotton. The prospects of a future supply of cotton
are unpromising, and the quantity is likely to be
inadequate for some time to come. Spinners and
manufacturers here and on the Continent ;Ire a goo-1
deal disappointed at the little progress made in this
respect since the close of the American civil war.
It was thought that nearly all cotton-producing
countries would make an effort that would soon
make up the deficiency of supply when cc' rtain of 6
market, but India and North and South America,
which were mainly depended upon as the three
principal sources of supply, appear to have retro'
graded rather than advanced, and the mills in the
United States, like those in Europe, have been tin"
able to keep their mills going full time at the price,
to which cotton has risen. We scarcely lay hold e`,
a trade circular in which the inadequate !supply 0'
cotton is not adverted to.
BRADFORD, Bth.—The wool market 11ME1 under:
gone no appreciable change during the week.
steady consumptive demand is still going on 1,
wool, and the transactions are, on the whole, satle
factory. There is no speculative feeling apparent'
and spinners are only just replenishing for th.e actual
orders taken. There is great languor in the &at
mand for alpaca, and mohair continues vorY fir
in prices. In the worsted yarn branch the stoetor
of spinners are lower than they have been Ds
some time past, and au advance of quotatie's
has been made. There is still a steady -basil:l:,
doing on home account. The season is farvella
able for the piece trade, and manufacturars he'
booked a fair amount of Tiers. Some mg ,kern is
of plain, goods have lately entered into co ritrfter,
that will keep them fully employed for a cox sidtebo
able time. Several foreign buyers have been 111 1.0
market, and operated to some extent. Stocks :01
rather on the decrease, and prices following 1%0,
and cotton are extremely firm. Manufacore
however, find greater difficulty in realising an 3'
vaace.
