STATE OF THE TRADE N THE MANuFAcTUR- !
ING DIsTmcTs. The Liverpool Albion Of the 3lst
ult. has the following remarks upon the state OF
trade
1.-THE accounts from the manufacturing districts
are decidedly more favorable and cheering this
week, u very luIHe JUSTICES HUNu8 ptcll uouc III
Manchester, both in goods and yarns, at increased
prices for some descriptions Of the former, espe-
cially q inch printing cloth, which the new Amer
lean tariff is bringing into play for those markets
40 inch shrtings are also better; and the heavy
stocks held by some Of the manufacturers, are
rapidly diminishing. The Yorkshire markets for
wooden goods and yarns, are also favorably spoken
Of"
These remarks 10 not appear TO be Warranted,
according to the following reports Of the leading
provincial papers:
The Manchester Advertiser of the ooh ult says:
ave regret to have still to notice a continuance
Of the same depressed condition of the market,
which has now lasted for more than month, and
which we are afraid Of being too sanguine in say
| ing we hope may not last over another. A little
better feeling has been exhibited in one or two
quarters as regards SOME of the higher descriptions
of cloth but the yarn market presents an absence
of any such tendency. We fear that stocks of
warn are accommodating on the manufacturers
hands, which will lead 10 reduction in the current
rates We must see what the harvest and the A.
merican tariff will do for us, before we expect a
great change"
The Leeds Tntelligcncer says, that "lhe woollen
trade continues in much the same state Of activity
as we have had to report for some time past
There is full average business doing, and that
both for the home and the foreign trade. The
lower quality Of cloths, beavers, tweeds and fancy
cloakngs, are in the chief request at firm prices
In consequence of the large quantity of American
flour which has been brought and will doubtless
coutinue TO be brought, to this country, from the
United States it is expected that the exports Of
WOODEN manufactures hence to that country, will
increase; but, hitherto, little more than seasona
bic average amount of goods has been sent TO the
States, since the passing Of our own free trade
measures
THE Conn TRADE.-The following importan
review of the Corn trade we abridge from an anti
Gle in the Mark Lane Express of the 3lst ult. -
The change from gloomy wet 10 fine sunny wealth
er has, as might have been expected, had some Ell
feet on the grain trade, and check has been Civ
en- to the upward movement in prices; the rea
cause of the recent advance, VIZ the potato rot
having for the moment been lost sight OF. We
have 10 Hesitation in stating, however, that the fu
ture range of prices OF corn, and indeed of al
kinds of provisions will depend entirely OH thl
one queston-if the disorder should really prov
as serious in its consequences as seems to threat
en-. the present inactivity will certainly be onl
temporary. Surprising only one fourth part q
wha, is usually grown in the kingdom should b
lost. this would leave so great u void to be file
ND by the substitutes as to require an importatio
of foreign grain on a more extensive scale than ha
been required by this country for many years. Th
yield of wheat, may, perhaps be about an average
but it is admitted on all hands, that the spring
sown crops, have, whole, turned out defective
and we cannot therefore,, come to any other concll
= sion but that large importation Of foreign cor
will be required to obtain which it will be nece,
sary to pay high prices
, The letters from Ireland continue to give trul
. deplorabc account of the prospect Of the potato
crop; in many districts it is reported to be who'll
lost, and no part of the island appears TO have e.
capped the infection. Under these circumstance
n the value of ali sorts of food has undergone ia
Their rise, and nothing but scarcity and high price
were talked of.
The arrivals of wheat coastwise into Londc
have rather increased; 1896 quarters having bee
= received this week. against 1866 quarters the pr
e ceding eight days. A considerable proportion
5 this supply was, however, sold by sample prevol
f to arrival; and the quantity exhibited at Markaf
G has not been large. Prices of wheat have, f
, some time, been higher on the continent than
this country, and the rise here is likely TO cause
a further enhancement, abroad This, and the cor
