been spirtless during the week, mainly Influenced,
il will be seen by the stagnauon which prevails
in the manufacturing districts. Prices can hardly
be said to have altered, but we speak OF the tone
of dealers and spinncrs generally
In the manufacturing districts apathy exists,
increased By one or two continental failures. The
houses did no extensive business in English goods,
and occurring NJ the present time the effect has
been more stunning than II they had happened IN
q season OF greater buoyancy
In the wooden districts OF berkshire, business has
been less sensitive with the existence OF greater

moved off with toerabie freedom. In Halifax
Drices are firm; in Huddersfeld stocks low

No great injury has been done get but two or

three months. Il is an ascertained tact-one which
shows the variable nature OF our clime--that more
rain falls in the month of july than during any other
month in the year.

OF England and ireland. On such occasions there
is natural tendency to create alarm and magnify
