I E OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, Sept. 25th.—The market for yarns
and goods has to-day shown great steadiness, with-
out much activity. Yarns appear to have the
greater stiffness of the two. There is some anima-
tion again in the demand for China, and a disposi-
tion to operate to a fair extent at recent quotations.

spinners are engaged on previous orders. There is
a pretty genera demand of id. per lb. advance,
which merely checks the issue of new orders, but
very full prices are readily conceded. In the mar-
ket for piece-goods the moderate business for China
during the last nine or ten days has helped to keep
up firmness in fabrics for India, lately in less re-
quest owing to the unfavourable advises. T-cloths,
long-cloths, and printers are steady in demand,
without charge of prices. Manufacturers are too
well engaged to allow of much actual business.
There is a reported stiffening in the price of 7, lb 4
oz shirtings ; but, generally speaking, the goods-
market shows no tendency to any positive improve-
ment. The following is from the circular of Messrs.
I. Slagg and Co. :—" Since Tuesday last, there has
been a good demand for 40-inch shirtings for China,
and a fair amount of business has been done in them
at the full rates current on that day. India goods
have been comparatively neglected, but the
I age contracts in the hands of producers
keep prices steady. For most other descriptions
we continue to have a steady general demand, and
prices are well supported." The report of Messrs.
G. Fraser, Son, and Co. is as follows :—" We have
had a steady market to-day as regards prices, with-
out much animation in the demand. Spinners and
manufacturers arc held under order with contracts
made two or three weeks ego, and which still con-
tinue to be made for China of a speculative character.
Shirtings are strengthened also by the recent ad-
vance in the value of cop yarns, even although in
but dull inquiry. The yarn market is, on the
whole, stronger than that for goods."
LEEDS, 23th.—A dull, wet morning had a cheer-
less influence on trade, and, as a natural conse-
quence, the cloth markets to-day were quiet and
unanimated. Though there was a moderately good
attendance of buyers at the halls, there was but
little disposition to purchase, and the sales were
chiefly confined to a few pieces of winter goods,
suitable for sorting stocks with or likely to be re-
sold. The quantity of cloth cleaned out was less
than usual on a Tuesday, but prices remained
steady, and the accounts given of the state of trade
in the manufacturing localities were satisfactory.
ROCHDALE, 24th.—Trade has a tendency towards
improvement, though there is no very material in-
crease in the actual business transacted. There
was a good attendance at to-day's market, and the
tone was very firm. Prices both of flannels and
other goods are well maintained, and are likely, if
anything, to be rather stiffer, as the Government
have invited tenders for a large supply of goods,
serges, and flannels. It is said that no less than
about 14,000 pieces altogether will be required.
The Yorkshire trade continues satisfactory, and
stocks are low. The sales of wool during the past
week have only been on a moderate scale, but the
quotations are a shade higher.

SHUCKING ACCIDENT AT RAMSGATE.—On Sunday
last Mr. John Rigby, a steward of the Magician steamer, a
London vessel, hired a mule phaeton of Mr. Geo. Watson,
and, accompanied by his wife and three other persons, pro-
ceeded for a drive into the country. On their return the
party stopped for refreshment at a house of enteitainment on
the Canterbury road. The man who had been driving left
the reins lying on the mule's back, and just as the party had
retaken their seats, and before the reins were got hold of
again, the animal took fright and dashed off at a fearful
rate for several miles passing through the village of St. Law-
rence. Of course, the unfortunate occupants of the vehicle
had not the slightest control over the course of the animal,
which dashed furiously on till it came into collision with a
pony chase in High•street, opposite Mr. John Kennett's.
We understand that one of the party jumped out on to the
road before reaching Ramsgate, and thus escaped without
serious injury ; but when the collision took place the others
were all thrown out with great violence, sustaining verY
serious injuries. Mr. John Rigby and Mrs. Rigby were
removed to the New Inn, where the former died about ag
hour after the occurrence, and up to yesterday' but small
hopes were entertained of the recovery of the latte.r% very
other persons thrown out of the phaeton were Bins Was
