There are no foreign arrivals from any quarter to-clay.
Great complaints continue to be made of the extreme de-
pression in trade. Many wholesale houses state that the past
bad been the worst week ever known. Not only are country
buyers very scarce, but the purchases are made on
the most limited scale. It is stated to be a rare oc-
currence for a whole piece of goods to be taken,
generally the orders being fur the half only, and the amount of
sales when effected is not one-tenth of what it generally has
been. The accounts from the manufacturing distrihs are not
more cheering. At Manchester and Stockport, where several
of the mills have for some weeks been working short time,
many looms have been stopped, and the operatives unemployed
are now dependent upon parochial relief.
