STATE OF TRADE.

The activity which prevailed in our market up to TuesdaY
last has since considerably abated, partly on account of the
critical state of affairs in Ireland, and partly because the large
purchases made during the preceding ten days had cleared o!
the accumulation both of orders and stocks, which were previ-
ously on hand. During the last three days, the demand has
been on a moderate scale at the rates of Tuesday last; spin-
Tiers and manufacturers having firmly resisted any attempt to
purchase at lower rates, whilst all the pressing orders of the
buyers having now been executed, they are not at all inclined
to pay higher prices. Indeed, at the present time, nobody
seems much inclined to push business. The conviction that
the measures adopted by government will bring the troubles of
Ireland to a speedy crisis, in one way or the other,—by the
suppression of the agitation, on the one hand, or the outbreaX
of civil war on the other,—induces an unwillingness to enter
into extended commercial operations, until a more definite OP'
nion can be formed as to the probable result of those measures;
It is, indeed, obvious that the future state of affairs in Ireland
must exercise an important influence, for good or for evil, upon
commercial affairs in this country; and the accounts frail!.
Dublin will be looked to with intense anxiety for the next week
or ten days. So far as we have beard, the determination of the
government to bring the affair to a speedy issue, has been
hailed with great satisfaction amongst the merchants and Ma-
nufacturers here.
