Report.—Spoke
Janina,

F manufacturing districts the accounts
fortrhoem the
teweek have, in most instances, been very
gloomy. At Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolver-
hampton the late bank suspension, together with
the advices from America, has caused a very de-
pressing effect upon all branches of business ; both
cloths and yarns at Manchester have given way
owing to discouraging accounts from the East, and
the few orders executed have been at a reduction in
hosiery and lace trade at Leicester
have remained exceedingly dull,
