STATE OF TRADE,

MANCHESTER, Aug. 9.—The market for shiPPin,!
yarns has been exceedingly flat, with little or ;-
business doing for any quarter.. To effect 55,,10
spinners would have to take lower prices. rlttio
quietness of the Liverpool cotton market and
dearness of money are among the chief causes as"
signed for this state of things by commercial 113612:
The failure of a London house in the East India_
trade has no doubt added one to many reasons for
caution among buyers. In home trade yarns bust:
ness has also been quiet. This flatness iseenleo
extend to nearly all courts and qualities of In-_t,'
and Lancashire manufacturers have bought exceed'
ingly little this morning. There is a slight giving
way where offers are made, bat buyers appear to be
very chary about making offers. Advices from
Calcutta of Slily 16 speak of mule twist and stay
shirtings as improving, but in the present condition
of things here the news appears to produce little or
no effect, and business appears to be pretty nearly
suspended both in goods for home consumption and
for export. The cloth market is quite stagnant.
higher rates of discount prevent the possibility
business just now even in the descriptions of nintb
~
for which the Indian advises are favourable enong'
otherwise to induce it. Manufacturers are endea-
vouring to sustain prices because they see no Prn`:
pect of cheaper cotton, and the quotations are olner
the same as last week, though, probably, a lolls
weakness would be found in cases were sellers hoi
stocks ; but buyers are so little disposed even 4011
inquiry that it can hardly be said there have bv3i.
offers of a nature to test prices. So far as bu, f 4 a
ness with, India is concerned, buyers feel
natural repugnance to discounting their bilisi at
10 per cent. in order to lay out such dearor;
bought money in cloths at the high rates alio
prevailing, and they abstain almost altngstoy
from inquiry ; so that the business of the, oil.

The quotations of all kinds of yarn an bet

LEEDS, 9th.—The markets in the cloth ha as
day have been of a moderate character, 130t-,1 af
regards the attendance of buyers and the atnnflow
business done. Considering the amount 01 ,
seasonable goods in the coloured cloth Wit a tv7°lee.eite
ably fair bulk changed hands, and late prices cod
well supported. In the white cloth hall a few' g
vy
parcels of hairlists, pilots, witneys, and other I3e ga
jia
fabrics met with purchasers. The trade in fer
warehouses is reported to be generally quiet save
this week, but the manufacturers keep in the o
state of cheerful activity which we have had ° do
time to notice. The wool trade is stead;',an-ig
purchases at the current sales of colonial sf°°'-ova

quality of the wools are average. Prices are ;err

Hosiery yarns have also given way slightly i'road
