STATE OF TRADE.

(From the Manchester Guardian.)
MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—The facility with which
speculators in cotton can raise money for payment, on
the security of their purchases, has again led to conside-
rable operations by that class, and their course has been
freely followed by consumers, the result being a rise
of if. per lb. in Americans generally. This movement
has had an effect in our market to-day—among spinners
a rather stirring effect. An advance of id. to id. per lb
has been generally and firmly demanded; and merchants
have found themselves obliged to accede to id. upon the
limited transanctions of the day, in low numbers of water
twist. Higher prices have also been obtained for 40's
and 60's doubled; and the manufacturers of such goods
as are at present in request, have shown a willingness
to purchase at some further rise, but the India and China
merchants, finding no encouragement to operate in the
accounts just received, have stood aloof from the market.
And the Germans, with their warehouses literally
crammed, at lower prices, have folded their hands and
ii ne nothing. However, encouraged by the comparative
lightness of stocks in their own hands, the spinners
have stood resolutely upon their advanced quotations, de-
termined that the miserable difference betwixt the price
of cotton and that of yarn shall not be made still less
without a hard struggle. In goods, the India houses are
giving orders for madapollams, for low
,jacconets, and for
40-inch shirting 4, especially in 64 and 66 reeds, at some
addition to the previous rates. And for other mark,:ts
than those of the East, there is also a fair inquiry. We
are likewise glad to find that a rather increased business
is doing for home consumption. The aggregate trans-
actions of the day, however, both in goods and yarns
have been restricted within narrow limits by the rise in
prices.

ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—We have had a fair attend-
ance of buyers in the market to-day, but the business
transacted has been much the same as the preceding
Monday. The demand for kerseys has not been quite
so gocd, but there is no change in prices. In the wool
market there prevails the same inactivity, with no desire
to purchase by the manufacturers, except for immedi-
ate use.

HunnEnsrrELD, TIIIISDAL—The market, to- day, may
be considered satisfactory, and business in the ware-
houses during the week has been brisk for the season.
Great inconvenience is experienced by our wool mer.
chants, in not being able to receive their German wools
by the way of Hull, and they are necessitated to pay a
much higher rate of carriage, in consequence of the
blockad- of the Elbe.

HALIFAX, SATURDAY.--The improved inquiry for
worsted goods, which we noticed in our last, has been
sustained to-day ; and there is a better feeling amongst
the manufacturers. Prices are still low; but the stocks
on hand are, in general, far from large, and much that is
done, is to order. There is a good trade in yarns o.
middle qualities; but not much doing in the lower counts,
and mid less in high numbers. The wool market is
more active; and prices are low, but steady.

ACCIDENT AT BRITANNIA-BRIDGE.—On the even-
ing of Saturday last, wind S.W., the Kitty, Captain
Hughes, laden with a general cargo from Liverpool,
passed up the Straits, and, when in the vicinity of the
recently floated tube, which she neared in order to gain
the Carnarvonshire side by a second tack, she suddenly
lost the wind, owing to the immense size of the inter-
vening object, and being urged forward by a strong
current she struck against the tube. Her main boom
was broken ; but fortunately so as to attach her to the
tube, and hold her fast until assistance could be rendered.
Av LIo
Luckily neither lives nor property to any extent were
lost. It is said that she had refused the assistance of a
steam tug ; notwithstanding which the company have
guaranteed the expense of her repairs.

road or public highway from "a point near to Marlbo-
rough-row and Church-street, on the north, to another
point at or near Castle-square, on the south," cf the
width (including footpaths) of at least 50 feet.
The workmen employed on the branch railway
between the North-Western and Carlisle lines at Lan-
caster, found last week a number of small silver coins of
the reign of the Emperor Adrian, together: with some
fragments Of Rama pettory.—Cumberland Poquet.
