STATE OF TRADE,

MANCHESTER, Sept. B.—ln shipping yarns the
amount of business to-day has again been consider-
able, and it is reported that some fair sales have been
made for China, a market which has not taken any
for some weeks past. Full prices have been paid for
any business done to-day, in consequence of the
scarcity of yarns and the deep engagements under
which spinners already find themselves. A telegram
received in the morning and posted on the Exchange,
purporting to be from the Times' correspondent at
New Orleans, stated that the quantity of cotton on
hand there was 2,700,000 baks, and that 740,000
• bales perweek were coming to hand, had a bad effect
on the market for a time ; but it was afterwards
discovered that the Telegraph Company had given
vbee been hev
larger
the figures incorrectly, and that the stock on hand
was only 270 bales, and the
.receipts 40,000 per
week. But for this mistake

any previous day for months past, but
abuvyiecrs preferred waiting in some cases for further
ad vices from America after seeing this statement.
In home trade yarns the market has been strong, but
there has not been quite so much business as on
Tuesday. The full prices of that day are demanded
for the business offering. In cloth there has been
a good steady demand since Tuesday, and a fair
business has been done at well-maintained prices,
and in many cases at an advance. To-day our
market is very steady, and the inquiry is pretty
brisk, but the requirements of buyers having been
to a great extent already supplied, the amount of
business has been rather smaller than on the preced-
ing days of the week. Prices are very firm, butthere
are no symptoms of a further advance. There have
been some inquiries for cloth suited to China, and
the Greeks have also been operating pretty freely.
India goods are not so much in request.
BRADFORD, 7th.—A good deal of wool has been
sold during the past week, and at rather improved
rates. Bright-haired and deep-grown wools are
principally in demand, to the comparative neglect
of the higher sorts. Hogs are particularly in re-
quest, and wethers are somewhat more in demand
than they were. The tendency of prices is still up-
wards. In some classes of wool there has been an
advance of id. per lb. during the past week. Lin-
coln hogs will command fully 2s. 3d. to 2s. 6d. per
lb, and wethers about 2s. Id. The accounts from
Bristol fair are indicative of a similar state of things
there. A brisk business was reported both yester-
day and to-day, and at prices better than had been
expected. The demand for yarns for home use is
very active. Manufacturers are at present requir-
ing
a considerable quantity of yarn to cover the
better demand for export. Spinners seek higher
rates, but do not find a willing response. There is
a good prospect, however, of higher rates being
speedily yielded. 28's and 30's single and two-fold
36's are chiefly in demand. The piece branch con-
tinues exceedingly brisk. The American merchants
with large orders engage all the avenues to supply,
to the exclusion almost of the home and foreign,
whose offers are comparatively small. Prices are
hardenin2.

NOTTINGHAM[, Bth.—The demand for lace yarns
was firm, and coarse numbers were Id., and medium
ditto 3d. per lb. dearer than on Tuesday. For
hosiery yarns prices tended upwards. Silks of all
kinds very dear. Coarse qualities of brown nets
were a better sale, and prices were rather higher ;
medium and fine sorts command extreme prices.

Baron de Beust has shortened his stay at Gastein.
He arrived on Monday evening at Munich, where
hA is to have a fresh interview with Baron von der
Pfordten. SI. de Nostitz, representative for Saxony
at the Diet of Frankfort, has also arrived at the
Bavarian capital, and will take part in those nego-
tiations.
