STATE OF TRADE.

(From the Manchester Guardian of this day.)

MANCHESTER, Oct. 14.—N0 material change has
taken place in our market since Tuesday. We then
stated that, with a continuance of general depression,
there had, however, arisen some little buying by the
Greeks, and also by certain houses in the India trade.
The former are doing a very limited business in some
kinds of cloth and coarse yarns. We do not hear that
the latter are taking anything of moment in light 40-
inch shirtings and yarns. The market retains the
general character of flatness which characterised it
in the earlier part of the week ; and, as a rule,
prices are slightly in favour of buyers as compared
with this day week, except in some yarns and
cloths which are sustained by that diminution of
production, occasioned by turn-outs. We are closing the
week, however, with rather more business in a few de-
scriptions of goods and in water twist, and with a slightly
improved tone of feeling. It seems certain that the
mills at Preston will cease work to-morrow, and at
Burnley on the 28th inst. It is expected that the same
measure will be adopted at Bacup. After the cessation
the employers in each place will agree upon a re-
vised list of wages, and then open their establishments
to those who will go in on such list. We understand
that Messrs. Miller and Mitchell's weavers have re-
sumed work.
GLASGOW, Oct. 14.—The demand for cotton this week
has been more general, and prices continue steady.
BRADFORD, Oct. 13.—Wool—The staplers are be-
ginning to feel the effects of short time working. The
actual sales for the week are trifling, and prices are
barely supported. Noils and short wool remain without
change in value, which may be attributed to the re-
duced quantity -how making. Yarns—The stoppage
of spinning frames during the month of October cannot
be short of 50 per cent., reckoning the machinery work-
ing short time ; in fact, such irregularity never was
heard of in the return of tares. The turn-out Lanca-
shire and the idle looms around here have caused great
interruption to the whole trade. The fair at Leipsic
having closed with more than usual activity has made
the shippers more disposed to buy such yarns as are
suitable for Germany ; but such are their limits, that the
cost of the material, irrespective of labour, could not be
covered. Pieces—The merchants buy very sparingly to
assort up their stocks: The unsettled state of money
matters and uncertainty as to the result of war, are
telling greatly against the business of this season.—
Bradford Observer.
NOTTINGHAM, Oct. 13.—There has been rather more
business doing in lace goods this week, and stocks of
some sorts are considerably lessened. The hosiery
trade is not quite in so flourishing a condition
as it has been during the previous part of the year ; still
there are considerable orders on hand for America, as
well as for spring goods for the home trade. The price
of yarn is unaltered.—Nottingham Journal.
LEICESTER, Oct 12.—During the past week transac-
tions have been conducted with care ; fewer orders have
arrived, and some have been countermanded. Wool
remains firm, and it is generally thought would rise
should continental affairs assume a pacific aspect.—
Nottingham Journal.
