There are not any arrivals of importance in the IP
this morning.
We have received the monthly Circular of Mess
Ferguson and Taylor, of Manchester, relative to the PI
of the manufacturing trade of that important district 4
states, and most truly, that as far as respects Cont/1374)
demand this is the dullest season of the year, shiPrdii
to the northern parts of Europe having suspee
their operations for the present year. Prices ils.4
however, continued steady for most descriptions 0fg",7,0
A strong feature, indicative of prosperity, is, thatr,i
mills are in the course of erection in the viciniA
Manchester, and that old ones are being eniei;lio!
The Circular then states thus :—" Early in the

year a large increase in the means of 05
will be thus brought into operation, and it rew;gl,
to be seen what effect this will have on demand
prices. For the present, the great bulk of onr 01
ducers are engaged with contracts which will carry 0;
into February. The turn of the year will doubtleetol
usual, bring the orders which have been withheld

Meantime, it is expected cotton will continue to fur
recede."
It will be observed, by an announcement in
vertising columns, that the third portion of the Op!
Guaranteed Loan is to be bid for on Friday next- pi

the City. Its proceeds are wholly to be devoted t 0
extension of public works in the Canadas. The De_:,'o

There is a great scarcity of Consols in the Stock

A great deal of business has been effected in the 001
