STATE OF TRADE.

(From the Manchester Guardian.)
There was very little demand on the Exchange yester
day, either for yarn or goods; and the business done was
limited, though, so far as we could learn, without altera-
tion in prices. The ecuntry trade is, however, we believe,
tolerably good.
RuCIIDALE FLANNEL MARKET, JAN. 25.—T0-day there
has been the best market we have had this year. The de-
mand for goods has been very fair, with a rather nume-
rous attendance of buyers ; but no improvement has
taken place in prices. The prospect of a long and severe
winter has generally some influence upon the Flannel
Market. There is no change in the Wool Market, either
in prices or quantity of business done.

•
HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, JAN. 26.—The aspect of this
market was decidedly favourable, there being many
buyers, and desirable goods changed hands freely at fair
prices. The demand h principally in low and middle
qualities of plain and fancy woollens, light checks, and
other fancy goods. In short, there is considerable
buoyancy, with every prospect of an advance of prices.
Stocks are comparatively small, and the operatives arc
generally employed. More activity prevails in the ware-
houses. Wools are firm.

Liverpool letter of yesterday, posted on 'Change, we learn
