STATE OF TRADE.

(From the Manchester Guardian of this day.)
MANCHESTER, MAY 17.—8 y the Arabia New York
steamer of the 4th instant we learn that cotton
had declined ic. at New York, and c. to tc.
va the southern markets, on receipt of ac-
c,mnts hence to the 20th of April; middling being
ciuoted at New Orleans on the 30th of April
'lo,lc. and freight to Liverpool td. per lb ; and at
Mobile same date 10c. with freight to Liverpool, td.
per lb. The receipts at the ports for the week show a
decrease of 26.644 bales from the corresponding
week of last year, and the telegraphic accounts in-
form us that those for the succeeding week are
expected to show a further falling off of 15,000
bales. The exports to Great Britain also show a con-
tinued decrease, the total excess over last year being
now only 90,000 bales, whereas on 6th February the
excess was 32-1,000 bales. These accounts, confirming
the continued decrease in the receipts, although quoting
prices rather lower, have had the effect of hardening
the Liverpool market, and the sales of yesterday and
to-day are reported to be at the extreme rates of
last week, and in some instances at a slight advance.
In our market we have experienced an increased de-
mand both for yarns and goods. Warps and pin-cops
suitable for the home trade, from 16's to 36's may be quoted
fully !d. per lb. higher than on this day week, and
other descriptions are in good request at extreme sates.
The turn-out hands continues, and has extended
to some mills engaged in the production of yarns for the
home trade, the 71eAcriptions thus affected are becoming
scarce, especially common 40's for India, for
which quotations can scarcely be given. The active
demand for light cotton goods which we have
experienced for some time still continues, and in most
descriptions of printing cloths and jacconets a slight
advance oil last week's rates is obtainable. Longcloths
and T cloths are rather more inquired for at full prices.
Domestics, too, are more ready of sale.
Rocim.i.LE, MAT 16.—The flannel market has not
been quite so brisk to-day ; the merchants have bought
more sparingly, at former prices. The wool market
has been very quiet, and the manufacturers have
nearly abstained from purchasing, they being deter-
mined to work up the stocks they have on band. The
London wool sales, which open this week, have had
their influence on deterring some from purchasing. It
is now considered that the manufacturers have greater
stacks of wool on hand than was generally supposed.
HALIFAX, MaY 14.—We have again had a very dull
day in our piece ball, and but little business has been
done. In the yarn and wool markets there is somewhat
of a lull, and no noticeable change, either as to prices
or demand.

HUDDERSFIELD, MAY 17.—The market has been
comparatively dull to-day, not many heavy purchases
have been made, which is perhaps partially owing
to its being general holiday time. The supply is about
even with the demandras stocks do not seem to increase
in the hall. Middle qualities in black and fancy doe-
skins are the class of goods mostly in request.
