STATE OF TRADE.

(From the Manchester Guardian of this day.)

MANCHESTER Oct. 7.—On Tuesday, our market
was seriously affected by the announcement that the
Turkish Divan had decided upon a declaration of
war against Russia. At once the indications of re-
turning confidence which had begun to show them-
selves a day or two before, were reversed. From Lon-
don we had reports of a great effect produced upon the
stock market ; and we found all classes of buyers, whe-
ther of yarns or goods, withdrawing from any business
they might have been previously disposed to enter into.
Yesterday we had a pacific statement from the opposite
quarter to the effect that at the Olmutz conference, the
Czar was disavowing that dispatch of Nesselrode's which
had driven the Porte to the last alternative, and was
showing a disposition to recede from the extreme ground
which he had assumed. But nobody knows what to
believe ; certainly not the slightest faith is placed in the
honour of Russia ; and people are wearied and irritated
by the rapid alternation of hope and disappointment
to which they have so long been subjected. At the
same time, the reason there is to fear that grain will still
advance, and heavy imports will have to be paid for, ope-
rates very powerfully upon the caution of merchants and
dealers. We close the week, however, with rather less of
depression than there was on Tuesday, or even yesterday.
Prices are not lower than they were three days ago ;
and there appears to be a slight increase of business in a
small way. In the present week cloths have suffered
more than yarns. We should have a good demand for
yarns for Germany if confidence were only restored, for
the harvests there have turned out well, and the general
state of trade is satisfactory. At the Leipsic fair, which
is now being held, manufactures have been freely
bought.

NOTTINGHAM, Oct. 6.—This week being our great
annual holiday, very little business has been transacted
in either lace or hosiery ; nevertheless prospects for the
latter are good, as large orders have been received and
will continue to be given for some time for America, as
well as for other countries. This trade has been con-
siderably extended of late, and doubtless will be still
further increased, as foreign competition is nearly ex-
tinct. The price of yarn is not lowered in this market,
although it has been sold somewhat lower in Manchester.
Fine spinning for lace purposes is fully as high as it has
been for some time, without a shade of a chance of re-
duction for a long time.—Nottingham Journal.

THE WOOLLEN TRADE.

(From the Leeds Mercury of this day.)

LEEDS, Oct. B.—There is no change of any conse-
quence in the state of the woollen cloth market this week.
The general feeling is of a rather dull and gloomy cha-
racter, and the greatest caution and prudence are exer-
cised by every purchaser, whether in the cloth-halls or in
the warehouses, not to buy beyond their immediate wants.
The market on Saturday was flat and quiet, and only a
limited quantity of cloth was sold. On Tuesday the market
was again dull and inactive. There was a very poor attend-
ance of merchants in the cloth-halls, and consequently
the transactions were within a very moderate compass.
The stock of cloth in the market is accumulating. The
mills and manufactories in the surrounding district are
in fair employment at present, but there is not the brisk-
ness and buoyancy there was a month ago. As the ma-
nufacturers work up their present stock of wool, we are
inclined to think (unless there is some considerable im-
provement in the present aspect of general affairs) that
they will restrict their future operations, and prevent any
undue accumulation of stocks at the present high prices.
BRADFORD.—The downward tendency of prices still
continues, though the actual fall is very little. Many
looms and spinning frames are steady, and in some in-
stances mills are running short time, as the spinners and
manufacturers cannot get new orders at satisfactory
prices, and prefer curtailing their productions to a con-
tinuance in a losing trade.
HALIFAX, Oct. I.—Trade in this market continues
dull and unsatisfactory, without any clear prospect of
immediate improvement. Very little can be done: in
either pieces, yarn, or wool ; and the price of the latter
is inclined to give way a little if buyers would come for-
ward, but they quite hang back, and seem to anticipate
further reduced rates.

LEICESTER.-Our market has been dull and destitute
of buyers, the factors are clearing out stock, and only
purchase to assort up. The unfavourable commercial
accounts from Australia have also had a depressing in-
fluence. The strike for an advance of wages by the
straight-down branch has not been conceded at pre-
sent. Yams participate in the dullness, though prices
have not generally given way. In wools but little is
doing ; an undefined fear of the raw material giving way
pervades.
