export, so that the quantity taken by millownere has
not exceeded half the present limited consumption of
spinners. The quantity imported during the week has
been 73,346. The effect has been a reduction of 4d.
per lb. in price, while yarns have given way in our own
market fully as much if not rather more. In fact, spin-
ners have bad to give way id. to id. per lb. since Tues-
day, and manufacturers, though many of them through
having orders still uncompleted show considerable
firmness, could not dispose of their cloth without a re-
duction fully corresponding to that on yarns. But the
depression in trade here is not to be measured merely by
the reduction in money value, or the uncertainty and
perplexity arising out of a falling cotton-market. The
uneasiness caused by the state of France, including the
wh lesale arreit and deportation of political offenders,
with Its probable consequences, and the state of our owa
relations with that country, is interfering very much

this quarter are not likely to engage largely in it at these
prices, as the fishing hitherto has not paid them.
Some curer,, too, who embarked in the trade last year
are not to speculate in it this year, having also lost
money by it. There is no word of any early contracts fur
fish, nor is it probable that much will be done in
the line this season. NVe hope, however, that with the
abundance of cheap money both at home and on the
continent, the trade will show some symptoms of a re-
vival by the month of May, when other provisions are
likely to advance. Cutch bas maint rined the same price
