POST-OFFICE NOTICE—MONEY ORDERS.
1. On and after the Ist of September, 1852, an ad-
ditional commission will be charged in every case of
transfer or re-payment of a money order.
2. The payment of the additional commission, via.:
—3d. on all sums not exceeding 21.; and 6d. cn all
sums between 21. and a, must be invariably made by
postage stamps transmitted with the application for
transfer or re-payment, and unless the amount be so
transmitted, the application will not bo complied with.
3. All applications for transfer or re-payment must be
addressed to the President of the London, Dublin, or
Edinburgh Money Order Office, according as the order
was issued in England (or Wales), Ireland, or Scotland.
4. To prevent the necessity of a transfer, in conse-
quence of an order being erroneously drawn on a diffe-
rent office from the one at which payment is desired, the
public are advised to furnish in writing to the issuing
postmaster, at the time of application, the full particu-
lars of the money order required, and also to ascertain
before quitting the issuing office that the order corre-
sponds with those particulars.

STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian of this day.)
MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—The advices received
from the United States appear to be somewhat con-
flicting in their statements regarding cotton ; some of
them representing the market as dull, and prices as
barely sustained ; others speaking of increased life,
with an upward bias in prices. The latter have
influenced the Liverpool market so far as to in-
duce rather greater freedom in buying, yes-
terday's transactions amounting to 12,000 bales,
and those of to-day to 7,000, at the full rates of
Friday last. Our own market has been better than
was expected. A slight advantage on the side of
buyers was

goods,an
yb: general firmness
t, taking the de-
partments!s found to prevail, and in some articles, particularly
certain kinds of yarns, a disposition to greater
tightness is observable. There are exceptions (as,
for instance, in spinnings specially adapted to the
Indian trade, which remain flit) ; but that ten-
dency, on the whole, to a gradual gain in price
which we have had to note for a length of time,
is not unperceived to-day in the medium counts of
twist and weft for home consumption, and even in the
Germaa descriptions of twist ; whilst the finer spin-
nings still exhibit a more decided bias in that direction.
From the continental houses the spinners find rather
more inquiry. But still the operations of the day,
though of fair, are not of great aggregate extent. For
domestics the demand is growing, especially from the
home buyers, who are also found by the makers of
shirtings and good printing
.cloths to be doing a not
inconsiderable amount of business in those fabrics.
ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—We have had a very fair
demand for low priced goods, but pieces of finer
quality have not met with so ready a sale. Upon
the whole there has been an average amount of bu-
siness transacted at former prices. The wool dealers
have light stocks on hand, and say they cannot re-
place those stocks to sell at the present price.
MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY.—The demand for silk
manufactured goods is somewhat irregular; but, on
the whole, the market appears to be in a more
healthy state than it has been for some time past.
The thrown silk market continues healthy, and trans-
actions of the past week have been to a fair extent,
both for borne and continental purposes.—Raw silk
market: We have no particular feature to notice.
Prices are reported without any alteration.—The
Macclesfield weavers are now without any trade re-
gulation as to prices paid, which are left to the
natural influences of supply and demand. Two
attempts have been made to call meetings on the sub-
ject, but they have been treated with indifference by
the weavers generally.
HALIFAX, SATURDAY.---OUr Piece Mill has been

abut their transactions have not been very heavy. On'
the whole, a pretty even market, but not so good as
is generally expected in August, that should be one
of the busiest months in the year. There are a good
many manufacturers working to order, and conse-
quently deliver all their new patterns direct, so that
they do not get into the markets.
