the money market is extremely easy, which will always have
a tendency to advance prices; and last, though not least, the
accounts from China, and other parts of the world, are more
favourable. We may also add, that it is the season of the
year when more is doing, and the "'printers, being very light
in stock, will be forced to buy to prepare for the autumn trade.
Another favourable feature is, that both in London an

told us that he had monde an engagement, for all he can make
for the next three weeks,rn but he had been forced to sell at old
prices, ohaving and, bought his material to make them at a
low price, he thought it prudent to sell. The yarn market
we are not so well acquainted
.with, but from all we can
gather, a fair amount of business is doing at a trifling advance.

market in Liverpool is very buoyant,however, and 10,000 bags are
selling daily. We hope, how je,tthe manufacturers will be
