STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—The market to day has
not exhibited much change in the general state of
business. Although the accounts from London speak
of greater facility of obtaining discounts, we believe
the pressure here has not abated in the slightest
agree ; and business continues much depressed,
especially in the goods market. For yarn, there has
been decidedly more demand, and a tolerably large
business has been done during the last two or three
days, but without any advance in prices.
We do not learn that there is any material change
in the condition of the workpeople in the town or the
neighbouring districts, except that the spinners at Mos-
sky, who turned out a few weeks ago, in consequence
of a proposed reduction of wages, have generally sig-
nified their willingness to accept the terms then
offered to them, and several of the mills are conse-
quently resuming work this week. At Ashton-
under-Lyne, the turn-out still continues ; but there
are various indications of a desire on the part of the
work-people to return to their employment, and we
feel convinced that the strike will be of very short
duration.

The returns of the employment of mills and work
people, within the borough of Manchester, made up
to yesterday, are rather of a more favourable cha-
racter, inasmuch as the declension, in the week end-
ing the 2d instant, is almost neutralised with regard
to the number of mills working what is called full
time, whilst there is a slight increase in the number
of persons fully employed.
ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—The demand for flannels
continues limited, and the business transacted is less
than last week. A failure has been announced to-
day—that of a small manufacturer, whose liabilities
are variously stated as being from three to five thou-
sand pounds. The principal creditors are the wool
staplers. In the wool market there has been very
little doing, and prices remain much as they were
last Monday.
llAnirax, SATURDAY.—A few of the fancy houses
have rather more to do, but the improvement is by
no means general, and is not expected to be perma-
nent. Plain goods remain as dull of sale as ever.
The demand for yarn continues as last week, much
below the power of production. The spinners prefer
further reducing the time of running to making stock.
In some few cases rather lower rates are submitted
to. The wool trade continues in the same state of
languor, nothing coming to hand, and small quanti-
ties only purchased to assort stock and supply abso-
lute need. Some sales are effected for cash, at a
small reduction.

HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDIY.—MOre buyers have at-
tended our market to day than last week, but the
transactions have been very limited. But little has
been done in wool during the week.
LEEDS, TUESDAY.—The slight amendment in the
money market has not yet produced any impr?ve-
inent in the general state of trade. There certainly
is a butter feeling gaining ground, and people begin
to think that the worst of the panic is over ; but as
to a.positive revival of confidence, or anything like
spirit for commercial transactions, no symptoms what-
ever are yet perceptible. The fact is, money is much
too dear, and credit still too limited for business pur-
poses, and this day's market afforded sufficient evi-
dence to that effect; very little has been doing, and
that little for actual wants. Sellers have submitted
o lower prices, to equalise for the buyers the high
rate of discount.—Manchester Guardian.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF CHANCERY, Nov. 10.
VANDELIEUR V. BLAGRAVE.

The Lord Chancellor this morning gave judgment
in this appeal from the Master of the Rolls, argued
some time ago.
The facts are briefly, that the defendant, Mrs. Bla-
grave, granted an annuity of 5001. to the plaintiff,
through the agency of a person of the name of Yates,
redeemable on six months' notice. In May, 1830,
notice was given to repurchase in November, and in
the month of August the defendant intrusted Yates
with the money necessary to redeem the annuity.
In October Yates prevailed on the plaintiff to
execute the deed of re-assignment without receiv-
ing the purchase-money, but the plaintiff did not
sign any receipt for the money. Yates afterwards
produced the deed to the son of the defendant,
to satisfy him that the money had been paid, but the
deed itself was kept by Yates, who acted in the
transaction as the agent of both parties. Yates
retained the money, and, to deceive both, paid the
annuity, and afterwards died insolvent. The ques-
tion was, which was to be the loser of the 2,5001., the
purchase-money of the annuity ? The Master of
the Rolls held that the defendant was bound to pay
to the plaintiff the repurchase-money so pocketed by
Yates ; and this appeal was the consequence.
The LORD CHANCELLOR, after going through the
facts as above, affirmed the judgment of the Court
below.
