STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, Oct. 16.—The unexpected pause in the
Liverpool market yesterday, when only 5,000 bales were
sold, and prices receded, according to some reports, as much
as id to ld per lb, produced a corresponding reaction here,
and buyers of both yarns and cloths, who had hesitated to
give the extraordinary advance in price which was esta-
blished on Tuesday, almost withdrew from the market.
This morning the yarn market has almost recovered, how-
ever, the firmness it lost yesterday. The amount of business
has been small, but spinners are asking 2d per lb. more
than the current rates of last Friday, and although buyers
hang beck a good deal, they manifest no disposition to make
any concession. The market closes very firm, and, in some
description of yarn, with an upward tendency. The cloth
market has also somewhat recovered from the reactionary
feeling of yesterday, owing to prices having again advanced
at Liverpool, but still the sudden check has had an effect on
buyers, and they appear to be unwilling to operate. The
check was so sudden and unexpected that it seems to have
shaken their confidence considerably in recent advances.
Manufacturers, however, are very firm, and many of them
are in a position, owing to freedom from stock and heavy
pre engagements, to be indiffereni about pressing for fresh
orders. In fact, at the heavy cost of cotton yarn, they are
compelled to insist upon the advanced rates of Tuesday,
which they are now asking. The letters to hand from India
give a somewhat flat account of the market there, but tele-
grams are to hand with later advices (dated Bombay, Sept.
29, and Calcutta, Sept. 28), which are of a much more en-
couraging character, and speak of a better demand, espe-
r!ly for wide shirtings, at higher prices. So far they do
it eeem to have produced much effect here, owing to the
B:laontc mentioned. above, and the business done to-
ave bee generally is reported small. Several failures
