STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian of this day.)
MANCHESTER, TIIESDAY.—Iti the course of the fore-
noon we had a telegraphic announcement that the Ame-
rican steamer was off Holyhead; but, receiving no fur-
ther intelligence until atter one o'clock, there appeared
amongst buyers so much of a disposition to await its ar-
rival before entering into engagements, as evidently pro-
duced a quiet and uncertain state of business. Thus, the
best part of the day seemed to be injuriously affected by
this little delay in the receipt of only three or four days'
later information respecting the raw material; and, when
it arrived, there was found to be no change on the other
side, no circumstance to affect our market one way or
other. The transactions of the day, in yarns, have been
of moderate extent. The buyers have shown a dispo-
sition to operate, but at something under the prices re-
quired by sellers. The latter, however, are in general
so free from stocks, and, in many articles, so well sup-
Flied with orders, as to feel comparatively indifferent
ab out selling; and a prevailing steadiness at the quota-
tiolls of last week, has consequently marked both mule
and water twist, whether warps, cope, or bundles. The
tone of the cloth market is less favourable than that of
yarns. Domestics continue dull, and the prices offered
are gen.c!rally rather lower. The same statement applies
to 36-inch cloths also. The lower qualities of 'l's
printers slid jaconets continue, however, in fair request
at last wee..k's prices; and the improved demands for 40.
inch shirti ugs on Eastern account is continued.

itOCHDAL E, MONDAY.—We have had 1111 extremely
dull market in pieces, and a thin attendance of buyers,
wi:h little or no change in prices. In the wool market
there is no change to report, either in price or amount
of business tran meted.

HALIFAX, SA TURDAY.—The worsted trade is very
slack, both in the piece hall and in the warehouses; and
there is but little ,disposition to purchase either plain or
fancy goods. The yarn market is characterised by a
more cheerful aspec t than it has been for some time past.
The stocks are light, and jon lots are not to be met with.
The spinners are, gt Iherally, obtaining improved prices.
There is more doing in wool; and the quotations are
firm, with a trifling ad Vance on some sorts.
MACCLESFIELD, TUE 'SDAY.—The demand for goods

The weekly reviews of the Amstert lam and Rot-
terdam produce markets state that there ha d been a better
demand for coffee, and that sonic descriptio us had brought
rather higher prices. Very few contracts had been made in
sugar and cotton. Indigo and spices remain, td steady with-
out material alteration in the rates. The accounts from
Antwerp and ilamburgh represent a similar state of trade.
CIVIL CONTINGENCIES.—On Monday an official do-
cument was issued by order of the horse of Commons,
showing that the sum required to be vot,!,d for civil con-
tingencies for the current year is 100,0001. In 1849 the
expenditure defrayed from the grant for civil contingencies
was 51,6531 ; in MO, 65,3711. ; and in 1851, 89,f 751.
