Si ATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, July 2.—There is rather more firm•
ness and activity to-day in the market for both
goods and yarns, but the change is attributable
chiefly to increased animation at Liverpool. The
hardening of price on the part of spinners and
manufacturers has led to the giving out of some of
the smaller orders, which could not longer be de-
layed with safety, but all purchases to any large
amount are still withheld, wherever they may be.
In the market for yarns the business is much re-
stricted by the advance of price demanded. At the
rates of last week there is more disposition to
operate both for the home trade and for foreign
markets, but spinners are now asking generally yd.
to id. per lb. advance, and wherever sales take
place probably the full d. is obtained. There is
not much doing but the business is of fair amount,
considering the firmness of these quo ations. In the
market for cloth there is little more effect produced
by the animation at Liverpool than the general
demand by manufactures of an advance of price,
which buyers will not respond to. Nothing higher
than the rates of last week can yet be obtained for
piece goods. The advance of price checks business,
not only in all fabrics suitable for India and China,
but likewise in T-cloths and longcloths generally.
Among the manufacturers there seems to be a pre-
valent belief that the principal consequence here of
the movement at Liverpool will be the more gene-
ral adoption of short-time working, which has been
resorted to this week by a good many large esta-
blishments. The following is the weekly report of
Messrs. J. Slagg and Co. :—" There was a little
more inquiry at the close of the week for 40-inch
shirtings and some other descriptions of India
goods, and a fair amount of business was done in
them at Tuesday's prices. Yesterday and to-day,
owing to the excitement in the cotton market,
sellers are asking an advance, but so far without
success, and the day's business is consequently
much restricted. For other kinds of goods also
sellers are firmer, and without any improved demand
the late downward tendency of price is arrested."
LEEDS, 2d.—The woollen cloth markets have been
of a very quiet character this morning. Few buyers
were in attendance, and they operated sparingly.
Small parcels of plain and fancy fabrics for the fall
trade were the chief purchased, with a few lots of
ordinary blacks. Prices are steady. Those of wool
are fully as high as last week. The flax trade is
not so brisk as it was a short time ago.
ROCHDALE, Ist.—There has been rather more
doing in flannel to• day, buyers operating more
freely than of late. More business would be done,
but manufacturers refuse to make any material con-
cession from late prices, alleging that neither the
cost of wool nor the manufacture will anew of re-
duction. The Yorkshire goads trade is flat. Still
manufacturers in general are fairly employed, and
the stocks are not very large. There have been few
transactions in wools, but ° there is no change in
prices.m r the hdeenm demand e

Disease Prevented or Cm-ed.—Scorbutic humours so often
appear during childhood that it behoves every mother and
nurse to know how to eradicate them without danger or
delay. In whatever way these constitutional taints dis-
play themselves they may be surely met and successfuly,.
treated by using ilolloway's noble remedies according to
the instructions folded round each packet. Their ernyloy-
meat is attended by no risk, by their means this formidable
disease may be arrested and extirpated in its early progress
before it has reached the vital organs. When once the
scorbutic poison is overcome, the soundest health may be
attained and preserved by occasionally using the same
antidotes and paying proper attention to diet and venti-
