sumption.

The favourable weather noticed last week, was suddenly
interrupted by thunder and heavy rain in the course of Fri-
day night, and remains very unsettled until yesterday, which
was fine; last night, however, the storm returned with still
greater violence, yet this morning again presents a brighter
aspect, with the mercury rising nearly to fair.
Notwithstanding these frequent changes, the accounts re-
ceived from Mark-lane have not only counteracted any im..
provement here, but have occasioned a further decline to-day,
reducing our quotations for all fine Wheats 6d to 8d per 70

MANCHESTER.—The beautiful weather we have had for
the last two or three days has had the effect of cheering the
drooping spirits of all our commercial men ; for, in spite of
the slur cast upon the friends of the Corn Law League, we do
not believe that one individual exists amongst them but is
pleased with the splendid weather we have enjoyed for the
last few days. Although no actual improvement has taken
place in either the demand or price of goods, we find the
spirit of inquiry abroad ; and if the fine weather only con-
tinue, confidence will soon be restored, and then we have
hope of an improvement. Many houses are waiting to see if
the new parliament will promise us some commercial reforms
to benefit us. We think that the parliament can do much,
if they be in earnest to accomplish good; but we believe that
the spinners and manufacturers can do more, if they would
only act in concert and imitate the Liverpool tradesmen,
and get the best profit they can, instead of endeavouring to
sell cheaper than their neighbours. The plan in Liverpool
is to get the highest price thay can ; but here most men at-
tempt to sell cheaper than others in the same trade. In Li-
verpool this week cotton is to 4- per pound higher. In
Manchester the price of goods and yarns is stationary; and,
if any quantity of goods must be sold, lower rates have been
taken. Power-loom printers (27-inch) may be quoted, 66's,
5s 3d to 5s 74d; 72's, 5s 9d to 6s lid.—Manchester Adver-
tiser.

LEEDS.—We are glad to observe a continued improve-
ment in the demand for woollens. Owing to the firmness of
the wool-market, and the difficulty of realizing any consider-
able advance upon the recent prices of woollen goods, the
clothiers are apprehensive that they will be unable to replace
their stocks on the terms offered, and, as they hold out for
an advance, the amount of sales is to some extent limited.
The want of assortment in the Mixed Cloth-hall is also
another impediment to an extensive business. Still, there
was a very good market on Saturday ; and, on Tuesday, there
was a fair business done, but principally in the White Cloth-
hall.
