STATE OF TRADE.
MANCHESTER, TUESDAY, APRIL 27.—The state of
the money-market has almost entirely put a stop to
business titre. The only purchases made, either of
goods or yarn, are in small quantities to make up as-
sortments—generally at previous prices. It is under•
stood that the execution of some rather considerable
orders from the United States is prevented by the diffi-
culty of negotiating the bills, or using the credits on
which they are founded.
ROCHDALE, MONDAY, APRIL 26.—We have had an-
other dull market; but the few pieces that have been
sold have fetched former prices. At the close of last
week the Government orders arrived, which will com-
prise about 9.000 pieces. These pieces have been very
equally divided amongst ten or twelve manufsettirers,
In the wool market there is no change to report.
HALIFAX, SATURDAY, APRIL 24.--Scarcely a buyer
has been seen in the hall to-day; and business has, con.
sequently, been excessively flat. The state of the
money market, and the rise in price of provisions, cm.
bine to throw a deeper gloom over all departments of
trade: and the feeling amongst the manufacturers to-day
was less hopeful than for some time past. In the yarn
trade we have no alteration to notice, except, perhaps,
an increase of caution on all sides. What is doing in
the blanket trade is sufficient to take off the present
limited supply of brokes and noils, which are, therefore,
kept firm; but the wool trade generally is in a languid
condition.

HUDDERSFIELD. TUESDAY, APRIL 27.—Not more
than three or four buyers of any importance have at-
tended our market to-day, and they. appear to have
used extreme caution in all purchases. The rise in the
price of corn damps all speculation; and were it not for
considen.ble orders being iu hand for the Araeric in and
continental markets, we fear we should be experiencing
the distress of some of the cotton districts.
LEEDS, TUESDAY, APRIL 27.—This day's market
presented a dull appearance, but as many manufacture's
are employed to orders, principally on American ac-
counts, the supply of goods to our cloth halls is neces-
sarily very limited, and the transactions very insig-
nificant. In prices there is no alteration whatever.—
Illanchester Guardian.
