STATE 010 TRADE.

(Front the Manchester Guardian of Saturday.)
MANCHESTER, Aug. s.—To-day the impaired spirit of
the market has become more decided and general. Both
in goods and yarns, the buyers have, as if by common
consent, suspended their operations. Sellers do not, how-
ever, offer their productions at lower prices. Under
the circumstances, a small concession would be of no
use in the way of inducing operations, and spinners and
manufacturers are too much under contract to feel ur-
gent about selling. Their indifference in this respect is
increased, too, by the general state of the relations be-
tween employers and employed. No doubt, however,
slightly reduced offers from buyers would be accepted for
some things by such producers as are not largely pre-en-
gaged. The principal cause of this unfavourable change is
the extraordinary conduct of Russia in requiring the Hos-
podar of Moldavia to pay his tribute to the Czar and not
to the Sultan—a measure which manifestly renders war
more imminent than before. Besides this, the agree-
ment of the millowners at Stockport to pay the required
advance of ten per cent. in the wages for spinning, is at
once felt in such yarns as will thus undergo an increase
of supply. The goods market will not feel in an equal
degree the return of theoweavers in that town to their
work.

BRADFORD, August 4.—Wool—There is a shade more
doing in Wools, especially bright-haired, which imparts
more confidence to the holders, who complain that they
cannot replenish stocks on terms to enable them to meet
the prices now offered by the spinners. Noils and
brokes are not plentiful. Yarns—The unsettled state
of the Eastern question makes the shippers defer their
purchases, already the quantity exported is much less
than in previous years. Ere long, greater activity may
be expected. For spools the demand is steady, and
prices without chaiige. Pieces—The merchants exhibit
a great degree of caution, and are only buying in
limited quantity, and withont some relief in wools can
be obtained, higher prices or a less production must fol-
low.

LEICESTER, August 4.—The same regularity in making
continues, and all hands in the respective branches are
well employed. Worsted yarns remain without altera-
tion, the demand not being very active. There is but
little doing in wools, purchaser being made only for pre-
sent supply. The stoppage of the old-established and
extensive firm of R. Carter and Son, worsted spinners,
of this town, has caused much sensation in the trade.

STATE OF THE WOOLLEN TRADE.

(From, the Leeds Mercury of Saturday.)

- .
LEEDS, Friday.—The woollen cloth trade continues
in a satisfactory state. There has been a good business
done in the Cloth Halls this week in nearly all descrip-
tions of seasonable goods. Stocks continue low. Prices
are firm. The trade in the warehouses has been rather
still and quiet during the week. The shipping season
being now nearly over, and the demand for the home fall
trade not having yet commenced, there is, as is usual at
this period of the year, only a moderate business doing
in finished goods.
HUDDERSFIELD, Tuesday. Our market continues
without much alteration in any way. The demand
seems quite equal to the supply, and prices are much
the same as they have been for some time past. Wools
are quite as firm, but not much doing in the mean time.
ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, Monday.— We have
BRADFORD, Thursday.—There has been little varia-
tion from preceding markets. The unsettled state of
foreign affairs destroys confidence and indisposes parties
from buying for any but immediate wants. As to co-
burgs, which are a great article for winter consumption,
many orders were given for them in anticipation of the
rise which took place, and consequently fewer pieces are
now wanted. The prices of wool in the country are in
many cases higher than could be obtained in this mar-
ket, if carriage, expenses, and profit were all sacrificed.
