STATE OF TRADE.

ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, AUG 10.
—There has been an improved demand for flannels to-
day, and more buyer; in the market ; but no higher
prices have been given. There is no change in the
wool market, and the last week's prices have been fully
maintained.

HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, AUG. ll.—This market
presented an aspect pretty nearly as animated as the
one last week ; there being many buyers, and large
sates effected, in nearly all descriptions of goods for
which it is celebrated. In heavy woollens especially
the demand was brisk. Fancy waistcoatings, and other
light goods, were also in greater request. In wools,
s:)ine heavy sales took place. Prices, too, were a little
improved ; and as the stocks of manufactured articles
are not u.lusudly large, a steady improvement may be
expected. In the warehouses a fair business has been
done during the week. Work is daily becoming more
plentiful, and considerable orders arc in hind.
The improved feeling manifested last week was fully
maintained yesterday. and the demand both for goods
and yarn was decidedly better than for some weeks pre-
in some few articles, especially in low num-
bers of throstle yarn, and ir. 2.7. inch printing cloth, a
small advance was realised ; though, generally speaking,
business was done at the full rates of last week.—Malt-

Monday last the shippoir of Mr. Richard Or-
rell, farmer, Little Crosby, was broken into, and the tail
of a very fine cow cut off. We hope the police will be
able to dinovcr the culprits.—Liverpool Journa

MANCHESTER, TUrSDAY EYENINn;
The result of the Wolverhampton Stakes yesterday
in favour of Hetman Platoff, shows that the fieldsmen on
Friday were pretty c3rrect in not adventuring 2 to I against
him. So numerous arc the parties now absent from town
(principally at Wolverhampton), that the attendance was
very limited this forenoon. Fur the flol)oakc Stakes. de-
cided to-morrow, 5 to 2 was for some time freely
oared
on the field. Colchicum was at length backed, and the
quarter appeared so very good, that he rose rapidly to 6 to
4 taken ; afterwards 7 to 4 was laid ; and some few be"
of 5 to Lovere pencilled down against Tubalcain. GeerMilton, Lalla Rookh, and The Dean, were all spoken
about ; but we did not see any engagements made on thou
worthy of notice. The crack left off at 60 to 40 offered.
TIIF. ST. LEoER.-There was a re-action in favour
of
the Oaks mare. One of Launcelot's stanchest friends beat
about the bushes for s's to 2 between them ; at last he
snapped 20 to 10. Previously, 7to 1 was taken in ponies,
&c., about Crucifix. 6to 1 was the outside offer at the
close; when 60 to 20 was accepted on Launcelot. Bto 1
was refused on General Yates's horse ; a point more
wanted. 100 to 7 offered v. Broadwath ; takers to 6; 13
to 1 was offered agst Maroon ; 100's to 3 agst Alonro,
freely offered ; and 200 to 6 agst Trustee (offered. 30
wAnted); 50 to 1 was asked about The Schah. Offers t"
take 2 to 1 two beat the field; and the same for the CO'
for which Hetman Platoff appears to 1 ave the call. 4to 1
is offered on the fir
