Cottons are getting up a little today. 100 bags sold as 1 lot at 2s 0½d. Many Manchester houses are here but seem much afraid of buying. Liverpool merchants think the price will go up. Produce of all kinds is in a falling state, Sugar and Coffee lowering. John will come to Longsdon [Longstone] in a day or two. Ellen is to sail at the end of next week.
