Manchester Goods Market, .7ugusf
lO.-Durlng all last nuntb, and part o: this,
very general complaints we're heard that trade
was bad, and no doub; the demand for goods
was considerably less than 1t had been for The
three previous months, but the result Of very
careful inquiry IN great variety Of the BRAN.
ches OF the trade in cotton goods, is y convic-
ton that it Is IN healthy state, and that it
may safely be pronounced TO be as good 40 il
had been at the same period for several yeaIs.
lhe weavers and the spnners are all employ
ed; and although it is asserted that yarns and
power loom cloths do not yield any profit at
| the present prices, there is no intention any
where of lessenng the quantity Of either, BY
permitting The factories to stand still. At this
season the printers generally come into tho
market to purchase cloths for their winter
prints, and from the extra demand there 10
generally some advance in price. Yesterday
the calico makers tried to get an advance Of
three half.pencc a piece, but they did not
obtain II; and as they were unwilling TO sell
without It +, little business "as done To day
the amount OF business was limited from the
same cause The advance would no doubt
have been maintained but for tue absence Of
many OF the American merchants, some of
whom have gone home TO make the arrange
nents which the tariff may Iender necessary.
and Others of whom are discouraged by &C.
counts OF recent failures IN the States. The
silk trade. which IS gsadually extending itself
over the country, ard giving employment az
better wages to the men who used 10 be en-.
pioyed on n'uslins, is SO far prosperous, that n-
stead of weavers seeking for masters, masters'
are sending agents round endeavouring TO OBJ
tain weavers. The condition OF the working
people, upon the whole, is toleraby good.
They are all employed; and on looking over
the books Of the church wardens it appears
that the amount paid weekly TO the poor 10
rather less than it was in the corresponding
weeks of last year, and that the number Of
applicants ID decreased Wages, are howsv-
er, very low, and IN unskilled labour, such ~
the weaving of common cacoes, hard work
is required TO enable the weaver TO earn q
scanty livelihood. As we have no banks that
issue notes, the quantity OF money with US does
no, vary much. II is evidently not unpentiful
at present, from the fact that a cotton spinner
lately Paid his retiring partner 1884, O0l. rather
than allow hm five per cent interest upon it,.
The harvest in the nsighbourhood would have
been good. had there been a week or ten days
fine weather; but we have had some frequent
showers this week, and to day some heavy
raln, and every prospect of its continuance.
