From the Gazette UniverseRe de Lyons.
The state Of trade in our market place is ex-
trenely distressing. Money is plentiful, but
useless, no sales being made. The manufactu.
rers OF s,uffs are suffering severely. The price
of silk has been on the decline for some days;
and the fuctuation of prices renders sales diff
cult and Instantaneous The manufacturers
are obliged to make sacrifices, in order to keep
up part Of their manufacturing establish
ments. The number of looms 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 lots
OF stutts are mentioned within few days as
having been sold at very reduced price.
The silk harvest is still uncertain, and is ex-
posed to variety of dangers. At St. Etenne
we understand some orders have been received,
and silks are at present in demand.
