STATE OF TRADE:

MaNctiEsTER, Oct. 27.—1 n export yarns a con-
siderable amount of business has been done at ex-
treme prices. In the early part of the morning the
market was rather quiet, but later is the day a
good telegram from India was announced, quoting
the market at Calcutta much excited, with a con-
siderable advance in yarns and cloths, which ha d
the effect of imparting greater strength and acti
vity to this market. Prices advanced Id per lb‘,
and in some cases sellers report ld advanf:e as cor a.
pa►ed with la3t Friday. The market for these (le_
scriptions of (shipping) yarns closes with a atrocug
and buoyant feeling. A moderate business is e leo
reported to have been effected in cop yarns a/. an
advance on last week. Manufacturers hesitate din
the morning to give the advance, but on the w hole
a fair amount of business is understood to have been
done, and the market for these goods is better than
last week. Among the telegrams from is is
one from Calcutta, dated the 13th of Oci ober,
quoting 61b shistings, 8d per piece higher; 7Lb de.,
8d per piece higher; 81b shirtings, 18d higher; and
cotton also considerably advanced. In the cloth-
market there has also been some improvement.
The excitement in the Liverpool cotton-market lest
week checked, and, in fact, almost stopped business
in calicoes, but the renewed activity at Liverpool of
the last two days have been to some extent responded
to here, and we have had considerable inquiry for
most descriptions of cloth suitable to India, and
many offers have been made. The dearer cotton,-
market obliging manufacturers to further advam:e
their quotations, these offers have in some cases be, ,m
declined, and the business effected for actual ship,
meat is understood to have been small. Some sales,
however, have been effected to shippers, where
sellers were willing to meet buyers at something
under extreme rates. A fair business has been
done in some cases at the full advance, but it is
generally believed to have been of a speculative
character.

LEEDS, 27th.—There has been quiet but steady
markets in the cloth-halls to-day. A moderate
amount of business was done in meltons, tweeds,
and ordinary black cloths; but as the early part of
the day was very foggy, the attendance of buyers
was rather small. At the close of the markets a
fair amount ot heavy goods, such as pilots, witneys,
left the halls, affording satisfactory proof that win-
ter fabrics are still in request by some of the retail
dealers. Prices of woollen goods of all descriptions
are very firm. The flax trade is busy, and both the
raw material and yarns and threads are rising in
price. Seldom have the flax-mill hands here been
better employed than they are at present.
NOTTINGHAM, 27th.—There was a limited atten-
dance at this Exchange-hall to-day, and the demand

prices remaining stationary. Nothing of
import-
ance was done in brown nets.
