MANCHESTER, DEC. 6. Ost yarn and cloth markets
have eznihited a decided improvement to-day as regards the
extent of business transacted, but buyera have been difficult
to treat with, resolutely refusing any advance in erica ex-
cept for geode scarce in stock. The demand has been more
general, both for the horn, and foreign trade. and in the
latter especially covers descriptions of goods for which there
has ben of late very little doing. The home trade houses
have been doinz a fair busbies in domestics and long cloths,
hut the low,r kinds. including 21 to 32 loch goody, have hats
the preference, and full prices h‘ve been obtained, but with-
out any advert... In pruning cloths the principal demand
has been fur 26 inch widths. Of these. 62 reed, 3 lbs. 7, s ,
may be quoted 3a. 9J. to 4s. 3d.; 60 reed, 5 es. heavier,
4.. 2d. to 4..41,1 ; and 66 reed, 4 lbs. 4 e z.. 4 91. to 5.. In
CC inch and 40 inch shirtings. there has also been a fair
business doing, at full prices. In yarns, 40's mule twist,
India qualities being scarce is stock, may be quoted at the
very outside of last price., and were difficult is purchase.
The Germans are in the market, and are certainly doing
more business, but still they buy with caution, and but
sparingly.

HOSIERY AND LACE TRADES.—Norrtrannag.
Dac. s.—There is a slight depression in some of the branches
of the co•ton hosiery maaufacture, which is attribieed to
the season of the year ; but the principal blanch, that of
proper wrought hose, seems little affected with recent
chancel ; thus proving that the public, aware of the cop
goods, prefer those that-ere properly wrought after the old
int thud. The drawer, pantaloon, and shirt branch is still
inclined to be fevetish, es attempts are yet making to evade
the rate of wages, but, the masters having j.ined the taloa
of the journeymen, they are more formidable than ever.—
Toe cotton glove branch, though rather dull, is in a brut
condition than usual at this time of the y..ar.—The silk glove
branch continues in a flonri•hing state, the hands having
full wort, at the usual ratcs.—The plain silk hose beano,
so long in a state of abeyance, and which is reduced nine.
tenths in the number of trams employed, has so far revived
that the workmen have received a further advance in wages
of 24. per pair.—The silk knotted is yet in a lamentable
condition, the hands not having in general one.thied em-
ployni.nt, and, as they are mostly said men, this is heavily
felt.—The making of roundabout frames is increasing
on all rides. Many of the machine makers and frame
smiths have commenced building them. They are more
adapted for making petticoats and shirts than stockier, but
a considerable quantity of the latter are made from them.
The frames are superintended by females, 'rimed at mode-
rate wages, and ere log, at the present rate they ate gettii g
to work, the band-frames will feel the competition, in all
likelihood, mast seriously. The cotton bobbin-net trade,
notwithstanding the warlike demonstrations in Germany,
has a shale revived, showing that the supply does not exceed
the demand for lace. Considerable improvements are making
in the machinery, and some of the machine-holden, to keep
their metheds, have hired their journeymen for a time on
condition that they Audi keep the secret. The black silk lace
branch has not felt the change to the extent of the cotton
manufacture. The white silk branch, both warp and bobbin,
is in a tolerable position : the advance of wages in the former
Mu not been continued ; yet the warp trade is In a fair states
of demand in most of the branches. A new manufac.ure of
velvet gloves, made from the warp frame, the invention of
Dunnicliff and Dexter, by using three or more guides to a
needle, has given great • tor new manufactures, and it
is hoped ere long that we shall have a good trade in velvet.—
Notts Review.

WOOL.—DRADPORD, Dee. 6 —The state of the Wo I trade
'bows • continuance or the dulness we have named for mane
weeks past, sad the spinners are very slack is buying even
small lots for hand-to mouth-use. The prin.' ,•ou4lat are
such as to deter purchsses bring effected, mainly from the
fact that the dealen are not free sellers at prices that will
not pay the ripeness of bringing to this market.

MANUFACTURES. BILADFORD, Dec. 5. Yarn.:
There Is nothing cheeriog in this branch of the trade, except
the feeling th►t it is now morally certain that yarns have
seen their lowest point, for the price demanded for English
wools, and the rate at which the colonial sales are pro•
greeting, hear no analogy to the price of yarns, so much so,
that they might not be made of the staple, for the price of
yarns is so ruincualy low that the !nut lots sustained is by
defog as little as possible, a plan which is now much adopted by
the partial employment of the frames. Pieces During the
week and to day considerable inquiries have been made, and
tales effected of mired Alpacas with coloured wefts, an
article which had been in grod request for the autumn, but
which towards the close of the season was abandoned, being
sa article of fancy. This causes the market soon to be
cleared, and Alpacas are now so dear and same that the
nitnufacturen cannot continue to produce them to realise
cost. Other goods are without change.

IRON.—Ginanow, Dec. s.—Oar Pig-iron mutat re-
mains firm, at former prices, and warrants for Iron actually stand
43e. 9d. to 44.; for makers' roil; 43.. to 43a. Sd., cash, f.o.b. Day
by day, fresh hatchet of makers' obligations are making their appear-
ante, far the purpose of the Iron being put iota store forthwith. and
hopes we entertained by Inca parties that the spring trade will be
one of more remuneration than of late. In bar Iron movement has
already begun. We have to notice a very much increased demand.
dealers bring enslave to replenish their prawn very low stocks, and
make eorsideraide contracts for forward delivery. With such Indica-
tions, and particularly the ridge appearances on the Continent, and
the lakeilitood of • lower French import duty, makers already ace
asking higher priest' wed, in some instance., have obtained them.
Messrs. Thinner:rat and Co., of Wolverhampton, have Intimated an
advance on their mania/Wm of 101, per ton. Altogether, wo have
to cemmwlicate a better and healthier state of Wang In the Icon

ance of millers at this morning's market, the trade continues
without life or any advance in priees. The imports are moderate,
and so are farmers' supplies; but from the inquiries It appears likely
that the millers in this district will soon have to use more imported
corn than they have done since harvest.
