ITE OF TRADE.  ,• J.', . MANCHESTER, March .7.—We have to report a ~,Tlatill and rather gloOiny marker. The recent Federal . Auccesses in Atneriea have led to a decline in cotton at Liverpool, which practically, if not nominally, buyers for manufacturing purposes :report to be ad. per lb. upon recent t'ith rates, and this 'llllB caused buyers •here, botl fortome trade and e_Xport purposes, to wit`ddraw their— recent offers rrom the market. ";:bis change comes at a time Vhen the deman.ift was overtaking the supply of foods, and vvl*n_a there seemed to be a reasonable . !le°Pe that for a time there would, be an improvent in business. ' There is no ground for surprise that the Cotton market should be exceedingly i millive at. any advices Which indicate a possibility of Increased supply of that material, but in reality there has been so little advance upon the price of cloth that it.seems unlikely there she-dld be any,thicg like a serious decline of prices for some time L° come with such an increased supply of cots n. n,,.0111d come from America, even if some of the Sold ports were t.'../ be opened. The quantiy of goods in stock is Umited, and the. iiiiantity.Makpltiei4.7in a very ;'educed scale, but We learn that for the moment some .kinds 4ve a downward tendencY• , of India cloths have given es 6d, per piece. Some, manufacturers still hold way as much I..°nrY•irtnly to their prices, but only such as have 4"e" „Willing to make an abatement have -been able m 3 sea. Printing cloths .are less affected in price than India shirtinge; bit in:these and in domestics and long-clothe prices are weaker. T-cloths are also worse to sell. The best makes of cloth are less affected' than ordina market is also veryhas quiet, and scarcely any business gather lo we practicable. For what has been done r prices have had to be accepted. The Accounts from India are not 'considered favourable, and these, with the fall in the cotton market cense• 'pent on the American news, have had a very depressing effect .on the yarn and cloth markets generally.
