TRADE OF I.IANCIIESTER, THURSDAY
'We have'(as was anticipated wbuld he' the,case) .now
miived at as low a figure for all kinds of rind and
power-loardicllsth as before tie late tiansicilt vitajce;
Indeed, some kinds of cloth are lower' than was ever
'known. This point being arrived at, many are sum..
'grine enough to expect a. steady business, as well as a r
lorge one, whilst there are marry . others who have
rlready come to the conclusion that there is no remedy
but short The turn-outs ought to be well satis-
fied if they .can , only
,be employed at the., present
wiges- but they must not reckon too certainly on
even that, fora reduction in time will be tantamount ,
t) a real reduction in many departments. The aspect
of th:ngs for the coming winter is gloomy in the ex-
treme. Twist is, if Pnytbing, the turn lower again.
