same unsatisfactory and angushing state throughout
the remainder of the year.
In September an extensive business was done for the
Turkish and Mediterranean markets, chiefly in
long cloths and iomestics, which relieved the markets
OF these descriptions; and in O:t0ber demand was
experienced for twist for Russia and the continent,

Upon the general state of trade it is remarked that
Manchester must not overlook the fact that the causes
which have paralysed he9 trade have also worked as
strong in part OF the other departments Of the
trade Of htountry, and must not therefore, imagine
