TRADE OF MANCHESTER, DEC. 26.—The market on
Tuesday, though not so excited as (hose of last week,
was very active, and the closing rates of last week were
fully eustained. To day we have not had so full an at-
teutlance on the Exchange; the day after Christmas-day
is here perhaps generally too much devoted to the plea-
sures incident to such a festive period of the year for it
I to be expected, but still there has been a respectable
' amount of business transacted, and neither manufacturers
nor spinners appear to have been over anxious to part
with goods. The consequence is that prices have been
steadily and firmly maintained, both in cloth and yarns,
and these stocks have been much diminished, as in the
case of goods for India and China, and for some descrip-
tions required by the home trade, there is an upward
tendency in prices. It is said that some of the India
letters have hardly borne out the anticipations induced
by the satisfactory sketch of the markets brought by
electric dispatch for the newspapers, and that conse-
quently the action on the market was premature; but
be that as it may, there appears to be a well-sustained
trade, and manufacturers in some cases have been
placed under contract to the end of March, and in
many instances both soinnere and manufacturers are
engaged to the end of January. Reviewing the rise of
prices, and comparing present rates with those of last
month, the result is nearly as follows:—Domestics one-
sixteenth to one,ighth per yard higher ; T cloths and
long-cloths, lid per piece. In seven-eighths printing
cloths there is an advance of 31 on the better qualities,
and of lid per piece on the lower. In 36-inch printers
and shirtiugs the advance is to 3d. In 40,inch.
p
shirtiugs, 4 reeds and uwards, there is an advance of
3d to 4id per piece, and of 10 to 3d per piece on the
lower reeded skirtings of this width. There has been
rather more business in India qualities of Bolton jacco-
nets, and the quotations are about lid per piece extra.
In yarns the chief advance is in India mule twist, and in
cop yarns, such as are in request rather extensively by
home manufacturers. In 20's mule, for instance, both
of ordinary and better kinds, the advance is
generally
id per lb upon Tuesday week. The same remark sr
plies to 30's and 50's (the betterqualities of the latterin some instatces be,ng nearly a idq higher), and in 6V
the advance is id ter lb, and in 80's and 90's about as
Water twist is also rather in advance of last prices.
NOTTINGHAM TRADE.—Lace: The week now closing
is generally a very quiet one, yet there is a
glimpse of ta
better state of things, as the Germans, contrary to their
usual practice, have been buying fancy goods, which is
a good sign; they are very low in stock, end therefor
must shortly purchase to rose extent. The bornee
houses, also, may be expected soon to commence opera-
tions.er Hosiery—This being a great holiday week, there
e
i 3 of course but little doing in the warehouses, and
tn
workmen generally are, to the extent of their means, en
joying the festive season.—Nottingham Journal.
LEICESTER TRADE.—This week fully the usual
amount of business for the season of the year has been
done, and as soon as the stock-takings and holidays are
over, it may be confidently expected that a healthy Sal'
vity in trade will prevail.—Nottingham Journal.

ST. MARGARET'S CHURCHYARD, IrEs7l-

In the Report on Extramural Sepulture, page 8' Da
Reid says, " that the state of the burying-ground WO
St. Margaret's churchyard is prejudicial to the air 0%
plied to the Houses of Parliament, and also to the wh°l.
neighbourhood ;" that " these offensive emanations havi
been noticed at all hours of the night and mornive
that even "fresh meat is frequently tainted" by the
leterious influence of gases issuing from this same char u
yard. I reiterate these facts here, in order to tell yo
as a sequel how very little good has followed their en oh
ciation. One would have imagined that, with 311:4
statements as these before them, no parties, how is
much interested, could persist in keeping up---Y"'
