STATE OP TRADE.

--- -
MANCHESTER, June 28.—There has been a little
more life in the yarn market to-day, but it has been
unaccompanied by any fall in prices, or any im- •
provement in cloth. The result of the half-yearly
stock-taking of cotton at Liverpool was transmitted
this morning, showing the actual quantity to be_
39,000 bales under the estimate of 788,000, and it
gave a little better feeling in yarn, though it bad
had no perceptible effect upon the Liverpool cotton
market. In shipping yarns it had the effect of
bringing Some fair orders upon the market which
had been held back during the gradual decline which
has taken place over the past ten days. The feel-
ing was more cheerful, but there was no change in
prices. There was also a little more business dove
in home trade yarns at the prices ruling for the last
few days: For the present the drooping state of
values seems to be checked, if not fully arrested.
The cloth-market presents no new feature since the
report of Tuesday. Buyers have continued to hold
aloof, and only those sellers willing to take very
low price
-and who can at Qnce shy the gooda
from stock have, as a rule, been able to make sales.
Any disposition in either cotton or yarns to steady
in value is not responded to in cloth, and seems only
likely to widen the difference already existing be-
tween buyers and sellers on that point. Quotations
remain as on Tuesday,:and the transactions of to-
day have been very small indeed. The export tables
of Messrs. Pender and Co. for the half-year give
the declared value of cloth and yarns shipped t)
Calcutta and Bombay in the month ending on June
16 at £2,090,165 ; and for the six months ending
the same date £7,528,627, against £5,523,882 for
the corresponding six months of 1866. In their
monthly circular they say printing cloths are very
quiet, and the better sorts neglected ; madapollams
in limited demand; that for gold-end shirtings -
manufacturers are well engaged, but that the pre-
sent demand is limited. Red-end long cloths flat ;
T cloths and drills flat, but the wider makes well
engaged. Domestics in limited and jacconets in
very moderate demand. They attribute the decline
in the value of goods to the fact of manufacturers
! running out of contracts and offering them more
freely, and to the late telegraphic accounts from
Calcutta and Bombay being less encouraging than
they were some weeks ago. Of course, the news
had reached India of the heavy shipments mentioned
above being on the way.

orders, which have been kept back for some time,
are now being placed rapidly, and the prospects of
this department are regarde I as much more cheer-
ful. Cotton yarns are dull, and may be purchased
on easier terms. Silks are lower, but the trade in
them is by no means active. There is a decided in-
crease in the orders for worsted plain hosiery for the
autumn trade. The orders for boot elastic webs
show a fair or average demand fur the country trade.

THE AUSTRALIAN PnEss.---If large, handsome,
and well-edited newspapers, crowded with advertisements,
are any indication of advanced and liberal civilisation, and
of material prosperity, the colonies of Australia and New
Zealand cannot he very far behind the parent country in
these respects. Of course the very firSt thing which an
English or American colony does, after getting fairly set-
tled, is to publish a newspaper, be it on ever so small a
pattern. Even the little settlement of Now Englanders at
Jaffa has a weekly paper, though there are not 50 persons
to read it, and its entire contents would scarcely fill a
single column of the Times. But the Australian press is
almost metropolitan in importance. The daily papers of
Melbourne and Sydney rival those of London and New
York in size and appearance, and aro not wanting in
editorial ability; and though the topics generally dis-
cussed in their columns possess local interest only, yet it
is the interest of a country that is rapidly increasing in
wealth, population, and international importance.—Alw
York Times, June 9.
