STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian of this day.)
MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—In the nominal prices
of yarns, there has been but little change to-day as
compared with this day week. The continued stag-
nation they have experienced has certainly, however
rendered spinners increasingly desirous of selling,
and has thus given an actual advantage to buyers
in the transactions that have taken place. Both
h ome consumers and exporters still manifest
a great want of confidence : a very limited
business has been done, and the day has closed un-
satisfactorily in all respects. Almost the only excep-
tion to this statement is to be found in the finer counts
of India qualities, for which there has been more in-
quiry since the arrival of the overland mail. The
difficulty of selling goods is sensibly increasing. The
day's operations have been insignificant; and prices
in general must be quoted rather lower. The east-
ern advices have produced no favouiable effect on
fabrics suitable for that quarter; ncr, indeed, were
they calculated to do so. The 'same may be
said as to the intelligence from other markets,
Our immense exports of the lighter cloths, since the
commencement of the present year, have deranged
the relation betwixt prices here and in distant markets ;
and the giving way we are now experiencing is, in
fact, a corrective process, quite indispensable to the
resumption of regular business. As regards the home
demand, much disappointment is felt. A good harvest
has not yet been followed by the effects that were
looked for, and heavy goods can not be said to be firm
in price. The makers of stout cloths and the spinners
of export yarns, disheartened by the still deteriorating
condition of their long unfavourable trade, are more
than ever disposed to reduce their production, a
measure never adopted except when things become
hopelessly bad. In addition to the millowners who
have lately resorted to short time in this town
and neighbourhood, we hear of several others
who are doing so, particularly at Rochdale.
Prom Constantinople commercial letters to the 15th
ult. have been received to-day. As they make no
mention of the hitch betwixt the Turkish and Rus-
sian Governments, it may be presumed that the fact
had not then transpired beyond the political circles.
It has been feared that this rupture would con-
siderably injure the trade of Manchester with
Constantinople : it can however have little effect
in this respect, as the demand can hardly be less
than it has been for some time back, and the
Greeks regard the affair without alarm, as one which
can lead to no serious consequences. Independently
of this matter, however, the advices are calculated
to confirm merchants in their recent course of
abstinence from purchases; for, instead of there being
at Constantinople a fair autumn demand, as had been
expected, there continued to prevail a general and
extreme dullness and depression. At the same time
advices of the 25th August, from Tabriz, continue to
give the _-most discouraging accounts of trade in
Persia. In these markets there is an overstock of
British manufactures.

ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—We have had to- day a very
thin attendance of buyers in the market, and the
business transacted has been more limited, with little
or no change in prices. Heavy goods are yet difficult
of sale, and but little inquired after. The wool market
has been quiet, and prices much the same as they were
the previous Monday.
MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY.—We have little to add
to our last report, further than that the manufac-
turers have been making more progress in the sale
of their goods the last tew days; and, as the cholera
decreases, we may expect a continuance of demand,
especially as there is an upward tendency in the price
of raw silks. There is an increased inquiry for
thrown silks for export, which keeps the throwsters
fairly employed for the present.
HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.—The market is very
quiet. Among the fancy manufacturers there is
much complaining. A:steady business continues in
the warehouses. Not much done in wool, but prices
are firm.

HALIFAX; SATURDAY.-Our Piece Hall has not
presented a very animated appearance to-day,
but the trade is steady, though not brisk. The
manufacturers complain that they are not able to
obtain an increase of price equal to the advanced cost
of the raw material. There is no variation in the de-
mand for yarns which go off well, and the quotations
are very firm. A moderate quantity of wool is
changing hands at slightly improved prices.
LEEDS, TUESDAY. There has been but little
business done at the Cloth Halls either today or on
Saturday last, and there is less doing in the ware-
houses than for many weeks. Prices steady, and
stocks light.

THE MOTHER OF SIR FITZROY KELLY.--It is not
generally known that Isabel Kelly, a celebrated novelist
in her day fifty years ago, is alive at ninety years 01l
age, residing at Brompton, and retains her faculties and
reads the smallest print without spectacles. Connected
with the highest families in Scotland, she boasts she
was born in a castle (that of Caernbro'), nursed in a
cottage (by one of the family cottars), and bred at
Court. Her father, Captain Fordyce, was the last car-
ver and cup-bearerer to George 111. Sir Fitzroy Kelly
is her only son.
[ADVERTISEMENT.]—A certified Cure of Scrofula
by Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—The following certificate
from Mr- Alcorn, of Jerry's Plains, New South Wales, was
forwarded to Professor Holloway by Mr. Pinkey, chemist, of
the same place. " This is to certify that my daughter, aged
seven years, was afflicted with scrofula for three years, and that,
after she had been attended by several respectable practitioners,
without success, I was induced to try Holloway's Ointment
and Pills, which remedies in about three months completely
