Madapollams, jaconets, and mulls are not in active request, but
maintain last week's values. Printers T cloths and domestics meet
with a fair consumptive demand, and orders can only be placed at the
prices of Tuesday. Large importations of cotton, and lower prices,
are causing buyers to operate cautiously, both in yarn and cloth. I
leave this to-morrow for MacClesfield.
I remain, Gentlemen,
Yours obediently,

_A Gentleman's Servant, applying for a Situation._
Praetland Terrace, March 1st, 187--
"_Valet Wanted._"
SIR,
In reply to an advertisement in yesterday's _Daily Telegraph_,
headed as above, I beg to offer myself for the situation.
For six years and a half I lived with the late General Aslett in
that capacity; on his death the establishment was reduced, and I
received my dismissal.
I enclose a copy of my character from my previous masters, and also
one from the proprietor of the Great Northern Hotel, who has known
me for many years. I am unmarried, 5ft. 10in. in height, and
twenty-eight years of age.
I remain, Sir,
Your most obedient humble servant,
JAMES FIELD.

sure give me a good character.
