STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, MAN 1.

- .
There has ben a very quiet
,Tnarket fur most descrip-
tions of goods, and, although slight concessions in price
have been made, the sales even in those case have been
small and effected with difficulty. The demand for do-
mestics is limited, and as stocks are beginning to accu-
mulate prices are not easily sustained. Printing cloth
can only be sold at a reduction. Shirtings have also
been dull of sale, and ee'l!rs having manifested some un-'
easiness prices have been lower where transactions have
taken. In yarns there is great indisposition to operate,
and for 'many descriptions the demand is more limited
than it has been for some time past. Spirenera being
without stock ate firm in their quotations, an'd"there is
consequently no great alteration in price ; hut the' tone
'q the market is evidently in favour of buyers, and in
some a:stances, especially warps and cops fur the home
trade there has been a reduction of id. to id. per lb.
since last week.
Messrs. Robt. Freeland and Brothers, in their monthly
circular of this day, report :-41-e -
"The business of the past month has been of a desultory
character ; dull and sluggish generally, and when active
has been flt only in pertisular classes of goods. On the
elolee, lieledielgeeleese 4e“,leesee, OAT 4eeenoesset) by the high price

him for the process of the manufacture, svbile on the other
hand the purchaser has been deterred by the continued
etrin,T.ncy of the money-market from doing more than
supplying his immediate wants. Thus on neither
side has there been much readiness to enter into lsrgo
transactions, and the business done has been by no means
general, Stocks of goods, therofors, have begun to accumu-
late, and we find owners within the last few days disposed
to submit to a reduction upon last month's sates, while
we observe rather more disposition on the part of
buyers to operate where they can do so upon advantageous
terms. A 3 soon as stocks are cleared out wo look for
the °hi rates to be re-established, and purchases can be
made now probably on bettor terms than a mouth hence.
Nor need there be any apprehension of a fall in the value
of goods from any considerable decline in that of the raw
material. Indeed, we fear the tendency will rather be the
other way, for the mf re we examine the subj set the stronger
is our opinion that the consumption of cotton is going on
at a much greater rate than is generally supposee, which
cannot fail to have its effect sooner or later. The following
statement of average deliveries to the trade of Liverpool,
extending from an average of the last live weeks to an aver-
age of the last 75 weeks, shows that the lessening of con-
sumption is not nearly to the extent that is generally sup-
posed :- -
Average of 75 weeks ending April 24, this year 39,633 bales.

,P 25 VI 11 37,525 ~
SI 15 1, 37,412 „
~
~ 5 /I 11 37,962 „
"The above figures comprise all sorts of cotton, but the
deliveries for consumption from Liverpool of American
cotton alone have been 27,070 b des p3r week, up to the
17th April, since Christmas, at which time the trade held
probably not less than 60,03) bales of thit class, having
taken 31,000 bales per week during the whole of 1856. To
continue even at this reduced rate of consumption of Ame-
rican cotton would leave us with a remarkably small stock
at the close of the year, as the following estimate w"'
show :

Bale;.
Stock of American, in Liverpool, A prill7, 1857 402,490
at Sea
Balance, of crop to receive ( Wright's estimate) 450,000
Receipts of new crop to 31st Dec., say

1,178,400
Consnmptiou of A meriain, April 17 to
314 Dec., say 27,070 bales per week, 1,031,59)
at 37 weeks
For export (is taken in 1336, April 1 101,797
to 31st December

1,106,3-37

72,103
Now, although we consider these figures as a fair estimate
of the prospective supply, it is nest to impossible that the
stock can be reduced to such a low ebb ; they are sufficient,
however, to prove that the stock of American cotton for
the remainder of the year will be so small as to secure the
maintenance of high prices.
" The exports of cotton piece goods and yarns for the
month are 80,353 packages, against 92,615 for the same
time last year; this is under the a'erage of the previous
three months, which is 83,129 packages. The following
classification shows at a glance the proportion shipped to
the various markets of the world :
Packages. Lb.

Coast of Africa
Turkey, Egypt, and Levant 9.1 .•. 6.8
Germany and Holland - 4.6 ... 67.3
Other European States ... 5.8 ... 17.9
"The Liverpool cotton-market has been inanimate
throughout the month, having been affected by the strin-
gent state of the money-market, and prices have given way
*d. to id. since our last circular, 'quota'ions for Orleans
being, on the 27th March, 7c1., ; on the 24th
April, 6id., 74d., 88d.
" The demand for water twist has been moderate
throughout the month ; our quotations for the lower num-
bers are id. per lb. higher ; for 31's to 40's, id. per lb.
" For mule twist the demand as been limited. Prices
for 20's to 80's are *d. per lb. hiher ; other counts
per lb.
"In piece goods the tendency has been downwards.
India shirtings, 71b. and under, of which the production is
excessive, have given way about I id. to 3d. per piece,
from the highest point attained, and stocks of favourite
makes are being cleared off ; while the heavier makes,
suitable for Chins, and of which the qtrantity made is very
moderate, have been taken freely without reduction in
price. 7-Bth and 9-Bth printers have been dull ; 34-inch .
50 yards are heavy iu stock, and would be sold very low
Maddapolams are in very moderate demand, and rather
accumulating. Longcloths, T-cloths, and domestics have
been in rather better demand, but sales are still effected
with great difficulty."

COLLISION AND Loss OF LIFE AT SEA.--PORTSMOUTH.
May I.—The screw steamer Peninsula, Capt. Watson,
on her voyage from London to Cadiz and Gibraltar, got
in collision at 2.45 a.m., 14 miles north by west of the
