STATE OF TRADE.

(From, the ilancheststr Guardian of yesterday.)
MANCHESTER, June 28.—The cloth market is without
sliatige. The demand from the printers and the home
-trade houses continues to be steady ; but shippers are
still holding back from business, for the reasons that in-
fluenced them last week. Manufacturers, however,
are indifferent about taking orders ; and the prices of
last week are therefore firmly maintained. The spinners
of Indian mule twist, like the makers of India goods,
though doing extremely little in the usual channel,
Are yet very steady in price, partly because they are, to
borne extent, able to sell in other quarters. For 30's
water in the bundle, there is a better demand than
for 16's to 21's, which feel the absence of the China
demand ; there is consequently greater stiffness in the
former than in the latter. Yarns for domestics, say
lti's to 18's warps, and 16's to 20's pin-cops, are found
more difficult to purchase than they were a week
ago ; the better qualities have gained about ,14d. per
lb. ; and this is causing the makers of those fabrics (who
fer some time back have had a losing trade) to harden
in their terms. Tint producers of 28's and 32's throstle
warps are also inclined to harden in price, because of the
call there is for those articles. Yarns suitable for
the Blackburn market were steady. Various counts
of doubled yarns are rather higher; as are also
some counts of single, suitable for Russia. On
the whole, the American advices, which give dif-
krent accounts of the weather from different parts,
have a tendency to sustain the price of cotton ; and the
firmness of this article tells upon yarns and goods. In
regard to the weather on the other side, the following
extract from the circular of a most respectable firm, at
Now Orleans, is deserving of notice :—" There are still
some complaints of the growing crop, but they do
not appear to us to be worthy of much notice ;
sonic, the larger portion, complain of cold and
drought ; others, of superabundance of rain ; but we
cannot see any well-grounded complaints proceed-
ing from planters whc have sufficient force to
take care of their crops." It appears that the opera-
tives at Blackburn who left their employment last
week did so before the expiration of the notice that had
bean given ; and finding that they had thus acted ille-
gally, they have resumed work for the required time.
In this city the hands in one considerable weaving
establishment have turned out. We understand that a
preliminary meeting of millowners from different lo-
calities has been held in Manchester to-day, with a
view to a general concert under existing circumstances.
HALrras, June 25.—The uncertain state of foreign
politics has a tendency to check operations both in yarns
and in manufactured goods ; and most persons are limit-
ing their transactions. Wool is quiet and rather easy
to buy.
ROCILIDALE, June 27.—There has been a rather thin
attendance of buyers in the market to-day, and a less
amount of business transacted than on the preceding
Monday. Coarse goods have been principally inquired
after, while those of a finer quality have been less in de-
mand. Low-priced English wool continues scarce, and
anything under 17d. per lb. meets a ready purchaser ;
but wools above that price are rather lower, and more
difficult to sell.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE AND MURDER —A woman
named Revill attempted to destroy herself and infant
child, on Monday last, in Plymstock, near Radford
/louse, where twhheircehisisa. pond of water called the Middle

the pond with her infant in her arms, and both would
most likely have been drowned, but for the prompt
and humane assistance of Dr. James Bulteel, who hap-
enedt providentially to be driving in his gig at the time.
The worthy doctor immediately conveyed them to Rad-
fordw,,, wrapped eod a u wherenk the woman, apparently dead, was

Grant's Quarry, Prince
Rock, was sent for ; he could
give no reason for the attempted suicide, but said that
for some time she had beemnain.a very low state of mind.
