STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian.)
MANCHESTEB, TUESDAY.—By the Niagara we learn
that the New York and other American markets
were still dull at the slight decline in prices reported
in our last publication. But the accounts of the crop
are again conflicting. In some letters and circulars
there are renewed complaints of injury, said to have
been sustained to a considerable extent. The general
tenour of the statements, however, leads to the
persuasion that, with a oontinuance of propitious
weather, a large yield may be counted upon.
The less favourable view on this point is that which
has influenced the Liverpool market since the packet
came in. The tendency to dulness produced on
Saturday by an anticipation of tidings more favour-
able to supply, has given place to a somewhat in-
creased demand and a restoration of firmness at the
rates of Friday. As to our yarn market, we have to
notice a general hardness in regard to prices, somewhat
exceeding that which, under the trans-Atlantic in-
fluences referred to, was exhibited last week. The
producers of Indian qualities of 40's, 50's, and 60's
mule are able to command the fall ratesthey then
asked but could not obtain ; and warps and cops, from
28's upwards, are at least firm at the previous quota-
tions. There is less in this quality of reeled yarns
specially adapted to the German trade; for the mer-
chants, receiving no better reports of business from
their correspondents, continue to restrict their pur-
chases within the narrowest limits. This position of
matters with so important a class of buyers, together
with the effect of a bad trade in domestics upon the
lower counts of warps, rather adds to the relative
disadvantage which has so long attached to the pro-
duction of water twist, as compared with that of mule.
The makers of domestics go on struggling for
some little increase of price, in which, however, they
succeed very ill. Although this is the period of the
year when they have the greatest demand, and
when the course of prices should be upward, they
have scarcely experienced any improvement within
the last fortnight, beyond that of rather greater rea-
diness of sale. In the better sorts of 40-inch shirt-
hags there is but little doing. The late advance of
l*d. per piece upon light 40-inch shirtings is main-
tained ; and the demand for printing cloths still gives
them an upward bias.

ROCHDALE, MOSDAY.—We have had a steady de-
mand for pieces to-day, and, in general, the manu-
facturers have obtained a small advance, more espe-
cially on low-priced goods. There is not much change
in the wool market. Of broken wool there is a
scarcity, and prices are ♦ery good.
HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—There has been a little
more demand to-day for worsted and grandrell
crapes, and a few more amens have been sold ; but for
lastiags or damasks there has been hardly any in-
quiry. In yarn there is rather leas doing, but prices
are improved. About an average business is doing in
Wool, at the late advance.

HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.—We have had a quiet
market to-day, and there have not been many buyers
in town ; but still an average business has been done
in the cloth Hall, chiefly in low goods for the winter
trade. A fair trade has been done during the week
in the warehouses in seasonable goods. In the fancy
trade new patterns are inquired for, for the spring
trade.
