STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian.)
Partly through the impression which the eastern
advices have produced, and partly in consequence of
the continued tendency to a rather higher value in
cotton, spinners and manufacturers have maintained a
firmer tone in this day's market than the state of
things at the close of last week had led most parties
to expect.
In yarns the continental houses have purchased
hesitatingly, and to a very limited extent ; apparently
not venturing to do more at the required rates than
make up assortments. The India merchants have
been inquiring for 50's and higher numbers of mule
twist, which were in improved demand, with a slight
tendency to better prices in the Calcutta market; and,
although the counts below 40's were rather lower in
that market, sales have been practicable to-day at a
trifling concession from the current terms. Spinnings
for home manufacture continue in fair request at last
week's prices. On the whole, the demand must be
reported as by no means considerable, yet pretty
general in its character, while prices are well sustained.
An enhanced demand for goods having arisen at
Calcutta, after the departure of the previous mail,
the makers of such fabrics have taken a firmer stand
upon their quotations than perhaps would otherwise
have been the case. The buyers, however, have al-
most entirely abstained from doing business, alleging
that shipments at present prices would involve
a loss upon most articles. In jaconots, mada-
pollams, and 45-inch shirtings, there is no,
change. The .ghter 40-inch shirtings are neglected
but 64 and 72 =ds continue in request for China,
and are very sca :e. Printing cloths are quite steady,
though hardly so lively as they were. The rise in
34 and 36-inch cloth is fully maintained. A little
more is doing in longcloth3 and T cloths, at a trifling
increase of price. Stout domestics for home consump-
tion are still neglected. . .

Letters from Constantinople and Tabriz report the
depression in those markets as being still very great.
ROCHDALE, MONDAY, JULY 30.—There has been
a rather brisk demand for goods of a low and middling
quality, while the finer kinds of flannel have not been
so much inquired after. There continues much in-
activity in the wool market, but prices have still an
upward tendency.
MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY, JULY 31.—The pur-
chases of China raw silk made early in the last
month have found their way into the throwing mills,
and now sustain and slightly increase the scanty em-
ployment referred to last week. The impulse to pur-
chasers here referred to came from the active demand
for fine raw silks at Lyons and other continental seats
of manufacture, which led to the withdrawal of a
considerable portion of the stock of French and
Italian rows sent here last year for security during
the disturbances, and on which temporary advances
were in some instances obtained by the owners. The
China silk is used in the manufacture of the ordinary
class of goods made in the country ' • the finer French
and Italian raw silks in the finer fabrics abroad ; and
this return of the fine material indicates very distinctly
the relative progress of the continental silk manufac-
turer of the higher order of goods. The weavers
who had last week turned out have resumed work,
having got the price fixed by a local board of
twelve masters and twelve operatives, which
took four months to complete. The object
of the board being formed was to settle all dis-
putes between masters and men ; but it has not
altogether met the expectations of the masters, as to
the concurrence of the manufacturers of other towns.
Without that concurrence the Macclesfield manufac-
turers cannot compete with their rivals in the
market ; and they are now sending an enormous
quantity of work out of the town. One large manu-
facturer here and in Congleton has, within the last
six weeks or two months, sent upwards of SO looms to
Middleton. The power-loom department is very
slack ; but the dyehouses are full of work.
HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY, JULY 31.—A brisk
business has been done to-day in every description of
goods adapted for the present trade. Early in the day
every piece of first quality of doeskins was bought up,
The stocks are exceedingly low, and buyers find it
difficult to complete their orders.
HALIFAX, SATURDAY, JULY 28.—The trade in
our Piece-hall remains pretty much the same as re-
ported in our last. The demand for yarns continues
good. The spinners are fully employed, and are
asking rather higher prices. There is scarcely so
much doing in wool. The spinners are pretty well
stocked, and the turn of the market is in favour of
the buyer.

THE HUNGARIAN ELILES. CONCERT. Public
sympathy in this country has never been more actively
and more generally excited than on the subject of
Hungarian independence. The gallant struggle now
making by that heroic people has won the admiration
of all classes, and in addition to the meetings which
are almost nightly held in various parts of the metro-
polis, expressive of public feeling on the subject, a
concert was given on Monday night at the Literary
and Scientific Institution, John-street, Fitzroy-square,
in aid of the fund now raising on behalf of the un-
fortunate Hungarian refugees at Folkestone. The
folowing ladies and gentlemen, it was stated, " gene-
rously gave their valuable services on the occasion,
namely—Miss Norman, Miss Leslie, and Mrs. Jen-
nings; Mr. J. D. Collet, Master Frank Bonner, Mr. H.
E. W. Bonner, and the celebrated Hungarian Singers,
assisted by the Apollonic Society. The Hungaurerans

CONCERNING EGGS.—At breakfast, one morning,
in that quiet and comfortable old inn, the White Swan,
in York, a foreigner made quick dispatch with the eggs.
Thrusting his spoon into the middle, he drew out
the yolk, devoured it, and passed on to the next.
When he had got to
his seventh egg, an old
farmer, who had akstly been prejudiced against
Monsieur by his moustachios, could brook the
extravagance no longer, and speaking up, said.
" Why, Sir, you leave all the white! How is Mrs-
Lockwood to afford to find breakfast at that rate ?"

The racing this afternoon, if it lacked the rich Pro-
duce Stakes, which gave so much interest to the first
day, offered counterbalancing attractions in the Good-
wood Stakes and Stewards' Cup, the fields for which
were large, and the betting uncommonly spirited; the
other events were of inferior importance. The sport,
however, on the whole, was good, and its enjoyment by
a large and fashionable company was enhanced by the
extreme fineness of the weather. Time was ad-
mirably kept, and the racing finished at a few minutes
before five.
