STATE OF TRADE.

(From the Manchester Advertiser of Saturday.)

We are glad to have it in our power to say, that
what is here called the country trade—in other
words, that carried on between the several descrip-
tions of houses in this place, with drapers from dif-
ferent parts of the kingdom—has been rather more
brisk during the past week, than for some time pre-
viously. This remark, however, applies more pro-
perly to an increased demand for goods, than to any
perceptible advance in their price. These symptoms
of resuscitation in domestic business, are not unac-
companied with appearances equally pleasing in the
Foreign trade. Several of our shipping houses are
at present fully occupied in preparing goods for the
Continent, particularly for Germany. Many of the
bleachers have also collected more cloth this- week
than for several antecedent weeks; and, upon the
whole, there is an evident improvement, though a
slight one, in trade generally. Some of the country
manufacturers are of opinion, that things will pro-
gressively revive from the present time; and that
business may be expected to be in a more favour-
able condition about the middle of May, (an unusual
circumstance), than it has been in since the com-
mencement of this year.
(From the Manchester Times of Saturday.)

It would be an extraordinary thing indeed, if trade
in Manchester were not better in February than in
December, and in April than February. The ques-
tion is not, as we have repeatedly said, whether an
improvement has taken place, but whether the im-
provement is such as, judging from the experien:e
of former seasons, it ought to be. In seasons the
most adverse to vegetation, plants will grow ; but
no one would say in the middle of June, that wheats
bad improved because they were an inch higher
than they were on the first of May. So it is in trade.
To boast that trade is better than it was in De-
cember, would be as foolish as to boast of the
weather, because a gooseberry bush which then
exhibited nothing but naked branches, is now
covered with foliage. So far as am improvement
has taken place, it is entirely incidental to the
season ; but it has not, by any means been
such as ought to have taken place. The
quantity of yarns and goods sold is less ; their
amount is less ; their safety of transactions
is less; the profits of the manufacturer are less;
the wages of the work-people are less ; and the
prospects of both classes are worse, than they were
last April. It is true that there are some newspaper
writers who have been prophesying, that as soon as
the sth of April was passed, an improvement in
trade would take place, because then, the reduction
of prices consequent-40i 'lessening the amount of
money would have.reached its climax. Our readers
know that such are not not our opinions, and that we
have on the contrary shown that the notes will not
be suddenly withdrawn ; that reductions of prices
will go on during the process of withdrawal ; that
till prices shall have accommodated themselves to
the altered value of money, there can be no safety
in money transaction; that after prices shall have so
accommodated themselves to the altered value of the
currency, continued distress will be felt by all who
are in the situation of debtors, payers of rent, payers
of interest, payers of annuities, and payers of taxes;
and that in particular the interest on the national
debt will be grievously aggravated in its pressure,
in consequence of being paid in a medium so much
higher in value than it was when the debt was con-
tracted. We shall revert to this subject next week,
for it is highly
important that it should be well un-
derstood.

(From the Leeds Mercury of Saturday.)

LEEDS, APRIL 11.—Trade of every description,

says one of our correspondents, is in a lamentable
state of depression, i❑ all places that I have visited
this week. The blanket trade at Dewsbury and
lleckmondwike is, however, the worst, there not
being employment for more than one-fourth of the
weavers, a great number of whom are in a state-of
actual starvation. In the Huddersfield district also,
a great number of operatives are out of employ, while
those who are employed, are performing double the
quantity of work for the wages they formerly re-
ceived. At Bradford, the Stuff trade is at a very
low ebb ; the Stuff weavers are, however, better
employed in that district than any other description
of workmen. The iron trade partakes of the general
depression, and at the extensive iron works at Wib-
sey Low Moor, near Bradford, little more than half
the usual quantity of business is now doing, while
the materials, wrought and unwrought, are fast ac-
cumulating. This state of the manufactures operates
ruinously upon shopkeepers, publicans, and all other
retail dealers, except those who deal in provisions.
The present depression is attributed to the alteration
in the currency, and to the agitated state of the
public mind, particularly in Ireland, on the Catholic
Question; but principally to the deficiency of the
last harvest, and the high price of provisions, aggra-
vated, as that evil is, by the Corn Laws.
