STATE OF TRADE.

(From the Manchester Guardian of this day.)
The American markets were reported dull, with a
decline in prices, say ie. at New York. and lc. at New
Orleans. 'the total receipts are 85,220 bales against
75,184 last year, and the exports to Great Britain
21,945 against 21,321. The crop is still variously spoken
of; but the general view, according to the circulars, ap-
pears to be, that, with propitious weather for picking, a
very large crop will be secured. Some of the private letters
give a less favourable account of the prospects of supply;
and these have so far ieflaenced the Liverpool market as to
sustain prices at Saturday's range, although the former
have rendered tusiness tamer than before. Yesterday's
sales were 10,000 bales ; those of to-day are 8,000. The
extensive operations that have latterly taken place in
Yarns and goods have led to a goceral requirement
of higher prices to day. This is the ors° in a greater
degree in 40's and 50's mule twist, and in 40-inch
shirtings adapted to the ( astern markets, than in any
other articles ; indeed, in this department of the
market, we have I good deal of life and buoyancy.
For
China, some purchase of water twist have been
made ; and these, with what other buyers have taken,
render water twist dearer by id
per lb, although the
Germans still hung back very much. The quotations
for warps, cop-twist, and pin-cops, are also
raised. 'the
makers of printing-clothe, madapollams,
and
pi I;es ; and the improving 36-inch
skirtings have raised their
tendency in domestics and T cloths is more marked than
at the latter end of last week. Business is naturally
checked by the advonee. At last week's rates, however,
sellers could enter into large contracts; and, as it is, the
transactions are of very fair amount conaidering the pre-
vious engagements of producers.
riUDDER.SFIELD, OCT. 19.—1 n the cloth hall a good
business has been dune ; there have been both Loudon
and Scotch buyers in the town, who have bought pretty
largely, chiefly of low goods in the tweeds, clouds, and
mixtures. Indeed, some very heavy parcels of goods
have exchanged hands. Business in the warehouses
both during the week and to-day has been quiet.
„.._ ROCHDALE Oct. Oct. 18.—We have had a very fair busi-
ness in flannels to-day, and the manufacturers have
been able to
a get an advance of something like one
coupleshil-
ling for their pieces, in order to meet the extra
price of the raw material. The wool market has been
rather quiet, the
tdealersi asking an advance of price.
