From The Gazette Ui.irerSeHe dc LIONS.
The state of trade in market place is ex-
;remeiy distressing. Money is PLENTIFUL but use
less, no sales being made. The manufacturers of
siuifs suffering severely. Tie price of silk has
been on the decline for some days. and the fiuctu-
alton OF prices renders sales difficult and disadvan-
,ageous. The manufacturers are obliged to make
sacrifices, in order to keep up part Of their man
ufac,uring establishments. The number of Icons
unemployed may be fairly estimated at third at
least. The fall in the price of manufactured goods
exceeds that expected on the materials, and several
lois OF stuifs mentioned within few days as
having been sold at very reduced price.
The silk harvest still uncertain, and is exposed
TO variety OF dangers. At st. Etienne we under
stand some orders have been received and silks are
at present in demand.
