STATE. MO!?.

Our market of Tuesday was less lively than we have
noticed it for several wecks. There Was net, however, any
decline in prices ; on the contrary, there seemed a deter-
mination on the part of some of the spinners, to obtain an
advance. Upon the whole, we believe that the price of
yarn nay h., quoted the same as last week. The decline
in the demand for that article may undoubtedly be attri-
buted principally to the completion of the orders from
Russia, which generally produces a stillness at this season.
The demand for yarn for our own manufactures is not at
all_aban d, but rather on the increase. There were fewer
inquiries for goods than yarns, and the market in them
was decidedly dull ; we have not however heard of any
reduction in price. The wages of weaving continue the
same; and if the market should continue inactive, the
prospects of the poor weavers will become, as winter ap-
proaches, exceedingly distressing.---Mancherter Herald.
THE GLOVE Tnaoc.—There Is at this moment an in-
creased demand for eloies, and neore hands are employed.
We are also happy to find that the demand for French
gloves has been more limited than was anticipated.—Wur-
CCAtcr Journal.
GLASGOW) OCT. 10.—The sugat market opened yester-
day heavily, but before the close a very fair business was
transacted at steady prices. The hoklers are, generally
speaking, firm, anticipating an imptovement when the de-
mand becomes more extensive, which seems to be the ge-
neral opinion in London. The iron trade in this quarter
has begun to participate in the general improvement. The
stock on hand, which a few months ago was very consider-
able, is completely exhausted ; and, consequently, some
delay is now unavoidable in the execution of orders. The
price has advanced 10s. per ton ;*2•16. 1 being now 71.,
No. 2, 61. 10s., and No. 3, 61. per ton. The merease in
the demand for castings may be considered a proof of more
auspicious prospects among sthossi in the manufacturing
line.
GLASGOW, OCT. 11.—We have been informed, says the
Glasgow Free Press, that the market remains much the
,acne as stated in our last publication. An advance has
been asked in manufactured and printed goods, while what
has been done, although extensive, has been at extremely
low prices. It is very satisfactory to learn, that large
shipments have been made by old established houses, who
have come into the market, and bought freely, and that
very few consignments to obtain advances have been made:
this looks favourable, and indicates a more healthy state of
trade. The vessels for foreign ports have, in general, re-
ceived full cargoes ; and those on the berths have, in many
cases, theit cargoes engaged, although not to clear out be-
fore the middle and end of the month. The spinners com-
plain that they cannot obtain a rise in coarse yarns, while
the wool has advanced Id. to id. per lb They are selling
for immediate supply, at former prices. Fine yarns have
maintained the advance, and the improvement must he
gradual. We hear that the weavers are obtaining work,
but at miserable prices. Such being their state, while
provisions are extremely high, and no prospect of a fall,
the condition of the poor labourer cannot be much im-
proved.
