STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER.—The general aspect of our market is still one
of dulness. A moderate inquiry, indeed, exists for some classes_
of goods, but it is not generally accompanied with any
tant amount of business. It is not yet possible to say wo
may be the effect upon the market of the last accounts from
the East, which are somewhat favourable; but there are signs
of returning activity in some quarters where extreme flatness
has long prevailed. Yarns continue without change, no matf,.
rial concession having been made in prices during the wee",
The amount of business doing is still limited. In goods thef!
has been less inclination to give way in prices than has been tu.se
case for some time past. We cannot expect anything very in
terially better in the market while our continental buyers
themselves ebliged to operate on so small a scale, and the ofd
provement we may have will not be abrupt, but slow an
gradual. Oen'
