MANCHESTER COTTON REPORT.
Manchester, Feb. 20.—The Guardian, In
Its commercial article, says:
The recovery of silver exchange has
Imparted a more hopeful feeling and
checked the decline, rather than having
the efrect to bring about an actual Im
provement. Some buyers are disposed
to offer moro freely, but rarely enhance
bids, and some producers are less eager
to consider inquidies. Thfc latest Eastern
telegrams do not report any improve
ment In trade. The resolution of the
master cotton spinners of the Bolton dis
trict to join the Federation and notify
their employes of a reduction of 6 per
cent, in wages Is regarded as of much
Importance to the industry generally, and
Is widely believed that It will lead to
_ combined action In Oldham and other
districts In a similar direction, resulting
In the early Issuance of a general notice
of reduction. The feeling has become
•widespread among the masters, that the
general depression and the accumulation
of supplies, arising from the rclmposltlon
of'Indian duties and the low rates
of exchange will abundantly Justify the

it Is impossible of accomplishment, for
they certainly get it in some manner and
whenever they want it. Whisky has been
discovered being smuggled izcldc of leaves
of bread when food was brought to tbo
prisoners. A sontry might fill tho barrel
of his musket with liquor and walk his
post smelling awfully like ram, but never

In Russia tbo correspondents of our
English daily papers sometimes havo a

police mado a discovery of eomo nihilistic
plot In nn out of tbo way corner of St
Petersburg, and the special correspondent
of Tho Standard camo to bear of it. Oft
ho went at once In search of tho house.
He found It without much difficulty, and
a polico officer was in possession. “Can I
como In?” he esked. “Certainly,” eald
tbo officer. And the correspondent en
tered. Having taken n good view of tho
surroundings, ho turned to go, but tho
officer hatred tho way. “You cannot pass,
sir," he snld. “But you yourself said I
might come In." “Quito so,” responded
tho policeman grimly. “Anybody who
likes can como In, but they aro Immediately
arrested.”
In vain tha Jonrnnllst explained that he
had Important engagements elsewhere.
Thero he was, and there bo had to stop.
Thon he wont to tho window and looked
out with a malicious gleam In hli eye.
Presently ho saw n sight which filled him
with Joy. Strolling down tho street was
Mr. Uobson, the correspondent of Tho

“Hello! Where aro you going!” ho shout
