STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian.)
MANCHESTER, TIIESDIY.—By the Cambria we learn
bile effect, in the New York market, of the excess of
41,000 over the estimated stock at Liverpool on the 31st
December. No surprise was excited, and cotton receded
only
c. per lb. Through the failure of the southern
mails, we are again deprived of the list of receipts, &c.
i
It appears, however, from Mr. W. P. Wright's
circular, given below, that according to telegraphic
information to New York, the receipts at the ports for
the week were 110,000 bales against 85,000 last year,
nient in
and the exports to Great Britain 55,000 against 32,000.
By the overland mail we are advised of a healthy
,state of the Bombay market, and a fair extent of

declined to -s. 11d. But from Calcutta the accounts are
still exceedingly unsatisfactory,had
Although imports
not been heavy, the
stocks on hand were so ex-
cessive as to keep down the prices of goods
at the very lowest pohlt , and the whole tone

f the market was extremely depressed. In yarns
t ere was a giving way in 30's, 40's, 50's, 60's, 70's,
and 100's. Money matters remained as unsatisfactory as
ever, with great distrust extending beyond the bazaar,
precluding advances from the bank on almost any terms.
It is stated in some of the letters, though not in the
newspapers, that another considerable native banker
had suspended payment. Exchange was at 2s. 21d. first-
class credits, and 25.2;d. for document bills. These ac-
counts have somewhat modified the stimulus given to
our market last week by the American advices. The tone
of business has been quieter, and, in general, the extreme
rates demanded but not obtained for yarns, on Saturday,
have undergone some abatement. Such prices as were
obtainable last week and the week before, have, however,
been paid to-day for most descriptions, and the day's
business is of fair extent. Indeed, such is the demand
for 16's to 24's water in the bundle, for 24's warps,
and for extra hard-twisted yarn for the Mediter-
ranean, that the fullest prices of last week are paid.
The advance in 40's mule is entirely sustained. Cops are
steady at the values of this day week. The Bombay
accounts have led to some operations in the lower quali-
ties of 40-inch shirtings, in addition to those which took
place last week, and the very low prices then accepted
are now beginning to be declined by sellers. In other
goods there is so change of price. They remain quiet.
Altogether, we have had a better market than was ex-
pected at the commencement of the day.
ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—The flannel market continues
dull and languid, with little or no variation in prices. In
wool there is no change from the previous week, and the
manufacturers continue to buy for immediate use only.
MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY.—The preparations we
have noticed for some weeks past for the spring trade
have been further developed; but as yet it is chiefly
on speculation, as the manufaturers generally are
complaining of the small amount of business doing. The
Americans, who mutiny operate pretty freely about this
are doing comparatively little at pre-
period of the year,
sant ; but more orders from that quarter are looked for. The
strike amongst the weavers, noticed in our last, ended in
their returning to work on the same terms as they
came out. Thrown Silks—There is fair inquiry for
fine China and Bengal throans; but the prices offered
are such that the trade cannot replace stocks from
present prices of raw material; hence we have bat few
transactions to report., Throwsters, however, are well
supplied with work at present. Raw Silks—The market
continues exceedingly firm; but there are less opera-
tions the last few days—doubtles, the approaching public
sales exercise some influence.
HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—There has been a flat market
to-day in our Piece Hail; and scarcely anything has
been done, either in plsin or fancy goods. The yarn
market is dull. The spinners are working up the orders
en hand; and the merchants are shy of giving out new
ones. Wool is inactive, without any change in the
quotations.
HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.—We have had a pretty
fair attendance at the Cloth Hall to-day. Amongst
woollen goods, capes have been inquired after, and
qualities at frcm 2s. 6d. to 36. 6d. and as high as 44.
have found purchasers. The fancy trade is at present
very dull. There has been more inquiry for wools,
especially for Port Philip, at from 171 d. to 191 d.
