STATE OF TRApE-MANcHEsTER, Tuesday.-Business
is improving at Manchester. The market, on Tuesday,
exhibited every appearance OF steady and continued i'm
provement Yarn of all descriptions and especially
OF the numbers and qualities suitable for Russia and the
East Indies good demand; and for the sorts
quest an advance to Id pretty generally obtained
There was also vey fair inquiry for goods OF all de-
scrptons and an advance of about piece was OBJ
tanned on printing cloths On the whole, perhaps the
improvement both in demand and prices was more
striking than either of the preceding Tuesdays
markets. and was attended by decided increase OF firm
ness and confidence amongst the spnners and manufac
turers.

ket to-day somewhat similar to those of the three pre-
vous weeks The demand for Hannels has been very linz
tied; and the buyers, who have attended the market
have purchased very sparingy atextremey low prices

lecturers seem to purchase for immediate only.
Though there is no change in the price of WOOL yet the
dealers are very eager to sell at the old prices.
LEEDS, Saturday.-Aer the most severe and prolonged
distress which this country has known in modern times it
gives us heartfelt satisfaction to few rays of light
break in upon the gloom The exhaustion Of the
of all classes will make any revival otrade both slow
and precarious and reasonable ground for
pecng durable prosperity until manufacturers
put upon equal footing to the chief necessares of
life with their foreign rivals whose goods
peting with them the prime pa markets Of the world
But certain that the fearful sagnaton Of the last three
four months has been in degree owing to the
pense about the tariff and to the consequent lookngup
Of some considerable classes of foreign commodities in
bond till the reduced duties into operation That
event having taken place. sales oil goods resumed and
favourable weather also oily cheers the spirits but
affords substantial ground for hoping that food may be-
cheaper and mere abundant in which manuiac-
lures and trade cannot fail to receive stimulus.

had press there good attendance of dealers
from the Interior and during the first two days OF this
week the demand was very animated upwards Of 1900
bales having changed hands as well for consumption as
for transit though but trng portion was taken for the
latter purpose. Since then however much less activity
has been display and the market has become quite Ian
guild the daily transactions not having exceeded 700 bales
with slight decline in instances ordinary and
inferior United States descriptions which those most
request but upon the whole the variation has not been
sufficiently apparent to establish any real change in pr

the from all parts TO the prospects for the
approaching harvest in every respect encouraging
which, coupled with the generally improved tone of the
intelligence from manufacturing districts and the
rather less gloon character OF the news from the other
