follows the Great Runjeet to its source, it will ex-
tend almost to the foot of Kanchinjinga, the Great
Runjeet issuing from its less lofty neighbour Wursing.
It is a pity that Kanchinjinga itself is not included,
since its ascent would have been an attempt worthy
of the most enterprising traveller. The highest peak
is marked on the map 28,176 feet, and though that
is an elevation never yet attained by mortal foot,
there is no saying what may yet be accomplished,
with the experience in mountain journeys now at-
tained. The unfortunate Raja will bitterly regret
his inhospitality, for he will miss his 6,000 rupees
from us, and the 16,000 which he drew from the for-
feited territory. We have heard no more of the
troops reported to be assembling on the frontier of
Cooch Behar, but it may be concluded that finding
their demonstration unavailing they will now quietly
return home.

STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian.)
MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—We stated in our last
that, on Thursday, there were some indications of im-
provements in
.yarns; while the demand for 40-inch
ahirtings was imparting a hardening tendency to the
prices of those articles. On Saturday, this favourable
feature became still more apparent ; and the business
in yarns for exportation was somewhat increased.
This morning, the disposition to operate in yarns, at
the prices of last week was rather more observable
than on Saturday ; and, for wide shirtings, also, the
inquiry became greater in proportion to the available
supply. To this course of things, the eastern ac-
counts in some degree contributed; for, though
unfavourable from Bombay, they are not more so
than was expected,—while, from Calcutta, they are of
an encouraging complexion, in regard to both yarns
and goods. As the day progressed, the cotton reports
from the United States, with the effect they appeared
to be producing in Liverpool, diffused a little addi-
tional confidence over our Exchange, and led the
producers pretty generally, to decline selling on terms
which they would have acceded to a few days
back. For some things a positive advance was
required. Unquestionably, the transactions would
have reached a considerable amount, had not the
sellers raised their claims. As it is, the sales of
yarns have shown a fair incresse, chiefly for India and
Germany, and the markets connected with the
Mediterranean, yet also for home consumption,
though not in an equal degree. On the whole, we
may take the improvement in yarns to be, practically,
about id. per lb., as a general average; being greater
in 20's water, and 40's and 50's mule, than in most
other descriptions. The rise in 40-inch shirtings is
lid. for the day, or about 3d. on the rates of some
ten days ago. For printing cloths and some other
goods there is fully as much inquiry as there was
experienced last week.
ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—We have bad another slack
market to-day, but little or no change in prices.
There has been very little doing in the wool market,
but former prices have been fully maintained.
MAOCLESFIELD, TUESDAY.—There is little change
in our market since our last report. There have been
a few buyers in the town chiefly from Manchester,
and there is more inquiry fur manufactured goods,
but prices can with difficulty be got up to the
standard of raw material. In thrown silk particularly
this applies, and we apprehend a lessened production
ere long, unless a favourable alteration takes place ;
at present the operatives of all classes are well em-
ployed. The raw silk market continues firm.
HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—The lull in the demand for
worsted goods continues much the same. There have
been but few buyers in our Piece Hall to-day, and
the business transacted has not been extensive. The
spinners are still fully employed, and new orders are
taken at something below the highest quotations.
Some persons are of opinion that long wool has seen
the lowest point, and there are more inquiries, but
not many sales. Short wool is rather inactive, with-
out any alteration in price.
LEEDS, TUESDAY.—The market has been down at
the cloth halls both today and on Saturday ; but
there is still a good trade doing by direct deliveries
in the warehouses. Prices are firm, and, in some
instances, an advance may be quoted; and stocks are
low in the market hands. There is rather more doing
in the warehouses than there has been for the last
week or two.
