SPATE OF 'PRA PE.

MANCEIESTEII,_MARCII 10,

There was an improved tone in the cloth nrtrket, and
more business is reported to have been done in a'l de
icriptions of fabrics for export, exc. pt domestics' which
continue flat. The principal potion cf this business
has been in low qualities of shirtirgs, jaeoneta, Ma-
danollams, and T-cloths, suited to the B orubay trade,
the orders being intended to cover the large cal,
reported as having been Dale at B)mbay at the
date of Itst advices. Buyers have purchased rather
freely under these circumstances at la •t price'4, hut
where sellers, as in some instances ha.; been the case,
have held for higher prices, business has been checked.
There has been ratliT more dtruand fr printers and
long-cloths at full prices. For yarns sellers have been
tsking 4cl. per lb. advance, which has railn r checked
business. At last week's rates a large business wed)

qessrs. John Pander and Co. report --

"There is nothing doing beyond the compl4ing of pro-
sent contracts, and in aline instances goods intended for
that quarter have been sent elsewhere."

Messrs. John Slagg and Co. report :

"The improved demand for low qualities of sliirtinqs,
jaconets, and Madapollams, noticed on Tues lay last, bas
continued, awl a steady business has been don.) at grain
illy hardening prices. There has boen a better dea..a,nd
also for certain qualities of T-cloths, longclothr, and print-
,lrs, at full pricer. In other kinds their., is no change to
notice since our last report, the maik:t gewr dly bring
quiet, but prices firm."
Mee-rs. G. Framer, Sln, and Co., report :

"In yarns there is not much doing, hut the market is
steady in price. There continues a fair demand for 51h. to
71b. India► shirtings at last week's pi ices, but the heavier
makes are inactive, and this is the care generally in other
departments of our market for piece goods. Prices arc
partially a little weaker."

NOTTINGHAM, Innen 10

The lace trade is a shade improved. The SFason, low•
,ver, is a late one, inasmuch ai at this period of the year
manufacturers are usually very busy. There tre som.-
`oreign orders in the mark€t, and goods are being pr )-
duced for home consumption. For coar=e plain article,
here continues a good demand, and the prices which
Lbese goods obtain is enormous. Th i operatives con-
oected with the lice branch are exneedingly well em-
ployed. There is not much doing as y< tin silk lace, in
consequence of the dearness of the material.
In hosiery there is a good bu-iness doing. Order,
are in course of completion for the Arn.rican -market, and
there is a fair demand for goods fog home consumption
Stocks are, however, kept down, our manufacturers, for
the most part, being averse to making more than is re-
quired at the present time.

LEICESTER, Al Ancn 10.

There is very little doing in any description of golds,
except cotton articles for the spring trade. In conse-
quence of the high price of materials manufacturers are
c-x3eedingly cautious, and stocks are all kept down. In
worsted yarns there is no alteration in price.

LEEDS, MARCH 10.

There is no material difference in toe state of the
woollen cloth trade of this district since our ls,t report,.
The cloth-halls this morning have ex'libiteflia very quiet
aspect. The attenda::ce of buyers has been small, and
the transactions have been within a very moderate com-
pass. The closeness of the general election, no doubt
contributes to produce this temporary suspension of ac-
tivity, and it is also partially occasioned by the state of
the wool-market and in consequence of the stocks in
the halls being very much rciuccd. Orders are never
theless not so numerous or c:.:eri.,ive as tiny have lit-
teily been, but there does not appear to be any reason
for apprehension as to the stability of the tra!le
or its prospects during the ensuing spring and summer
months.

lIUDDERS'FIELD, MARCO 10.

Our market this tuorninz has be,!.n w ii attenderi by
buyers from the immediate nei4hbDerb >ad, arid from
Leeds and Manchester, but there i-eve not been many
from snore distant places. Purchases have not been
very heavy, but in number they have been considerable,
and have extended over various descriptions of goods.
On the whole, business has been bri-ker than for some
weeks past. Wools keep firm, and manufacturers pur-
chase cautiously.

MADAME TUBSADD'S EX.HIBITION.—Among the many
pleasing subjects exhibited here, both in groups as well
as single figure, perhaps thero is none for beauty of ap-
pearance and life-like [form as the figures which repre-
sent the present Emperor and Empress of Austria. The
Emperor is (represented in the uniform of en Austiian
General, and her Majesty, the Empress, in a splendid
court dress; both figures are admirably constructed, and
are highly creditable to the traits fur the talent dis-

played in-the formation.
The weekly reviews from the Amsterdam and Rotter-
dam produce-markets mention that, al hough business
was limited, prices continued to be well supported. In
sugar and coffee operations had been restricted through
the late rise, and holders showed much firmness. A fur-
ther blight advance had taken place in tea, but the in-
quiry for cotton and leather was less animated. The
letters from Rouen speak of a more active demand in
the market for manufactures, but rates are still in some
cases unremunerative, owing to the high value of the

raw material.
The prospectus has been issued of the Bon Accord
Mining Company, with a capital of 75,0001., in 11. shares.
The Bon Accord Mining ground comprise! 347 acres,
adjoining the well known Burra Burrs, and is at present
the property of the Scottish Australian Investment, and
the North British Australasian Companies, from whom
it is proposed to be purchased for 24,0001. and a royae y
of 5 per cent, of tee ore raised. It has long been be-
lieved that the principal veins of the Butra. Burra psis
across the Bon Accord, but that they lie deep, and yen-
not be tested without steam power.
Tns BURGLARY AT SLADE HOOTON.—A reward of
1001. has been offered-501. by Government, 251. by the
Rotherham Association for the Prosecution of Felons,
and 25i. by Mr. Hall—for the apprehension and con-
viction of the persons who burgleriously entered the
house of the latter at Slade Hooting, mar Doncaster, on
the 26th ult., and stole therefrom about GO/ in money,
with numerous articles of plate, &c., and severely tnal-
treated Mr. Hall by striking him on the head with a
bludgeon, leaving him senseless. Last week two men
were apprehended at Sheffield on suspicion of being con-
cerned in the robbery, but Mr. Hall not being able to
identify either of them, they were discharged.
PRUSSIAN CUSTODI-HOUSE REGULATIONS. —ln enri-
sequence of a representation from her Majaty's Govern.
went, the Prussian Government has consented to a
modification of a part of its Custom-house regulations,
which will remove an impediment to the trade with
Prussia. Hitherto it has been required that masters of '
vessels make a declaration of the quantity and quality of
the cargo of vessels arriving in Prussian ports—a re-
quest difficult, and at times impossible to b 3 complied
with ; but, upon a representation to Berlin of the incon-
venience arising to commerce from this requirement,
Baron Manteuffel, in his reply to tLe Foreign-office,
observes that, " while it is incomiatible with the
regulations of the Zollverein Settee to abolieh the
requirement, yet, in future, flusters of those stee mere
which regularly frequent Prussian ports will be provi-
sionally exempt from such declaration ; but to sailing
vessels it is impossible to extend the same privileges'
arising from the insufficient number of Custom-lens'
officers at the outpert%
