MANCH ESTE R.-MONDAY NIGHT.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
The commercial transactions in our staple articles b
ar
been, on the whole, on a very limited scale as compare
with any week during the previous three months.
fereito,n trade especially has been exceedingly dull, a'
particularly in printed calcoes. On Tuesday, there aP;
neared to be a disposition on the part of spinners aud
manufacturers to submit to a reduction, but not to such
an extent as to induce buyers to purchase freely, and the,
consequence was that nO very great amount of
was tran,•acted. On .Thursday and Saturday, the FAme
spirit prevailed, but prices seemed to assume a firmer
ole
aspect. Our advices by the Caledonia are, on the vrhci
favourable ; the stocks are reported light in the Unite
States, and, it is said, that some very heavy orders for
goods suited to the fall trade have been received. Ma.l
of our packers are busy with goods for the Indian 034`'
kets, and, also. for South
America.
