MANCHESTER.—There is little of novelty to report in any
branch of the trade„ with the exception of Twist, which is
again further depressed in value. In power-loom printing
cloths a fair business is supposed to have been done at gene-
rally the prices of last week, though in some cases we have
reason to think it the turn lower. The demand has again been
slack for hand-loom cloth, but we have not heard of any in-
tention to reduce wages to that of the standard of about six
weeks back. On the whole things are rather gloomy.
ilanivax.—Owing to the general fall in wools, things are
again become eat, the merchants anticipating that the fall in
goods will be equal to the fall in wool. This, however, the
manufactures by no means seem inclined to submit to, con-
tending, as they do, that they never received an advance at all
approaching to the advance on wool. There will, it is clear,
be a sharp contest betwixt the manufacturer and the merchant,
each party seemingly are determined not to give way.
ROCIIDALE.—The. flannel trade is exceedingly depressed,
more so than since Christmas. This is a state of things which
few wore prepared to expect. Prices of wool have given way
considerably, but still the reduced rates offer no inducement
to purchase beyond instant wants. Stocks are increasing, and
prices again decidedly lower.
BRADFORD.-There is not the shadow of improvement in
our piece market, ei:her in demand or value, though more
business might have been done if the manufacturers would
have submitted to a trifling reduction, as it was the market
may be pronounced as nearly similar as possible to that of this
day sennight. The wool market continues dull, and the de-
cline has caused, we hope, only a very temporary stagnation.
Prices are again as low as our December quotations, which
tends to the conviction that things are at the lowest point,
and that, as a consequence, things will soon again revive.
Little is doing in Yarns, but that little at again lower rates.
As a further cline is anticipated, spinners seem inclined to
produce less, as the only check to a further fall.
