STATE OF TRADE Aruf. 10.
MaScHEsrEn-The prices paid for cloth last week are
firm at those rates. great many spirncrs accustomed
to convert their into CLOTH ceasg do find
ing il to their interest to sell their twist than
nuiacture it, This extensively carried out will throw
many additional hands out of employ sad aerna
tive Twist much better to sell than OF late but prices
do not at all imp'vc indeed while stocks heavy
a rise seems out =. the question.
MANCHESTER, FRIDAY EvE.iSG.-rhc prices OF cloth
have further gone down indeed they well cannot as
generally the prices 20 per cent below tho most de-
pressed period OF 1887 Many spinner ceasng
their yarn into cloth and are combining their operations
ntnOp thIrefl
additional hands. Yet in the face OF t fact the hands
at many mills stand out against proposed reduction OF
wages Yarns are pretty ready sale but prices have not
| in the least improved.
BaAproRp.-There fair number orluycrs at our
piece market to-day and full average business was
done Asiar as We canudge at present prices have not
changed for the There is better demand for
yarn and shipping houses are bur ing freely, but no
stapers are we'll stocked they are likely 10 continue
| low for some time to come
HrppERsrrLp.-This was an unusually had market
day in every respect perhaps the worst This Few
purchases Of any Importance made, and those at
lower prices for unfortunately, the long-contined dc
preston and the absence of reeonohlc hope Tor the
future have induced perhaps compelled many parties
| to submit TO n sacrifice.
RocHp,LE.-The flannel market does not progress to-
wards any improvement the state Of trade here seems
indeed recedng not adv ancing in improv ement Wool
is Hat, and little business is doing.
HorNrIRTH-A most deplorable state prevails here
Throughout the present manufacturers have gra
dualy had prospects very great numbers are ou
of and others only half employed None
remember more disastrous state Of trade than pre-
walls bnt the least Improvement would be gladly
| hailed by all. 80
HaLra1-There is life in piece market and the
general opinion respecting the tariff If carried in III
original FORM will not give any additional vigor TO
drooping trade. For articles prices dull and las
weeks rates hardly supported Stocks are decidedly
the increase.
Lrrps.-The hope that the return Of spring would in
degree dsspate the prevailing gloom is disarpon,
ed For time previously has heaviness and dull
| ness overshadowed our manufacturing community. In
the warehouses great gloom prevails buyers thin In
attendance and their purchases very limited in fact th
| spring trade has been the worst yet witnessed
| HAvRr April l5-Corross-There has been a fair at
tendance of dealers from the interior this week and tn,
pressure exhibited by the greater portion Of holders
off their stock added the obvious willingness cvinccd e
submit to some concession in order realise, freely
met on the part Of buyers and the transactions since las

ders also tempted BY the depreciation in the material
were mduc ed to into the market and several large
lots of ordinary and inferior IT, States Coons were taker
for consumption which considering that the low descrip
tons not usually sought after by our manufacturers
may be looked upon rather extraordinary occurrence
But notwithstanding the increase Of animation tha mas va
ken place prices far from being steady and are IN ac
present Of very anomalous character, which may IN
great be ascrbe 10 the advces brought by the
