STATE OF TRADE

11TANcuEsTFa.—Although the sudden advent of a protec-
tionist government gave some check to operations on Tuesday.
it did not prevent a lair amount of business in yarns at the
fullest rates of last week— n some kinds indeed on ruttier bet-
ter terms. Since then, the upward tendency has become still
more apparent. With a demand which is inadequately met by
the available supply, the spinners are asking and the buyers
are paying a further advance for nearly all counts and descrip-
tions from 50's downwards. or at least the extreme quotations
of a week ago. We consider the average rise of this week to be
to id. per lb. The greatest amount of buying is or ship-
ment to China, India, and the European continent. The home
consumers, having 'natty orders in the spinners' hands, are
operating cautiously; esnecially those who feel the dullness
ti~hieh prevails in domestics; they are, however, obliged to give
more for warps and weft. We have not so goo an account to
give of cloth. The home dealers still keep out of the market,
and the heavier domestics are difficult to sell ; but the firmness
of the makers is sustained by the absence of any material
accumulation in their own hands, and by the bareness of sup-
ply in the town houses. There is a moderate demand for some
qualities of long cloths and T's at the previous rives; and a
similar statement applies also to printing cloths. The scarce-
ness of 40-inch skirtings, as compared with the demand, is
rather adding to their value. The degree in which yarns at
large are under contract is most remarkable; and the same
may be said of 40-,itch skirtings; whilst, in no kinds of goods,
are there any stocks on hand that would not be cleared away
by a single week's good business. Cotton has been rather
lively, and is quoted nearly id. per lb. above the prices of this
day week
