AMERICAN MANUFACTURED Goops IN EsGLAND.-
The Manchester Guardian, abiding to the American
manufactured goods sent to England which it numbers
and divides into their respective qualities, says-Al
though the American price Of the cloth generally APP
proaches to that of similar English cloth, there is only
one sample which equals supasses it in that respect
No ., sample of very beautiful and well manu-.
tactured drill, appears to be sold IN the United
States at3 Sd per yard, English money, with eight

quality-is worth at the present time 3 l2d. Indeed

The United States and demonstrate the absolute neces

fabrics, and IN nicely balanced trade, quite enough
to turn the scale against the English manufacturer in
independent markets. they do not confirm the ex-
tremely responding gloomy view ofour manufacturing
position, which some parties have been inclined TO de-

fabric which we have pointed out, there is still mode
