STATE OF TRADE.

(From the Manchester Guardian of yesterday.)
MANCHESTER, April 25.—The general state of busi-
ness is not equal, in the present week, to what it was
last week. We are rather unfavourably affected by
more causes than one. The large decrease of gold in
the Bank of England, during the week last reported,
though mainly occasioned by the payment of the divi-
dends, gives rise, in connection with other circum-
stances, to an apprehension that we are about to ex-
perience a somewhat more stringent condition of the
money market. There is, too, an uneasy feeling
about the aspect of affairs on the Danube, which is
not without its influence. The caution of buyers leads
them to look, also, at the rather declining tendency of
cotton in the United States, in consequence of largely en-
hanced receipts at the ports and of depressing advices
from Europe, which must have foiled the transatlantic
speculators. This, though welcome as an indication for
the future, has yet some little effect in the way just
referred to ; as has also the fact that the turn-out at
Stockport, discountenanced both by the shopkeepers of
the place and by the delegates of the union, is evidently
breaking down, while the operatives at Preston are
gradually accepting the mill owners' terms. These cir-
cumstances have contributed to check operations in a
degree which has been sensibly felt to-day ; but the
falling off in business is in a great degree, also, a conse-
quence of the very extensive transactions for India and
China which took place last week and the week before,
and which of course left so much less to be done. Al-
though, however, the sales of the day have been com-
paratively inconsiderable, both in yarns arid goods, it
is only in some few articles that buyers find a trifling
advantage as regards price.
ROCHDALE, April 24.—We have had another dull,
heavy, sluggish market, with little or nothing doing.
There appears to be no demand for goods at present at
any price. The wool market has been remarkably quiet,
and the manufacturers buy for immediate use only.
Fine wool may be quoted a shade easier, but low priced
English wool fully maintains the last week's quotations.
HUDDERSFIELD, April 25.—There has been very little
doing in the market to-day, and very little seems to have
been expected, for an air of listlessness, so to speak, has
pervaded the market during the whole of the day, and
1 few ind pp
eed aear to have done anything in the way of
sales. The wool merchants say they have done next to
nothing for several days past.
HALIFAX. April 22.—The attendance of merchants in
our piece-hall to-day has been very slender, and the
amount of business transacted very limited. The yarn
market is more depressed ; and the spinners, being
unable to obtain an advance commensurate wit
eh h
cur-
the
increased cost of the raw material, are still furth
tailing production. Wools are rather more lively and
the quotations exhibit greater firmness.
