Stalybridge ; but we believe nothing has yet been de-
cided upon respecting it.
We arc glad to be enabled to state, that no further
failures of importance have taken place in this
town ; and the rumours which have been preva-
lent for some days past, of the stoppage of a
house of very extensive business at Liverpool, are
altogether unfounded. We believe Jthey had their
origin in a misunderstanding as to providing for the pay-
ment of bills of exchange to a large amount which fell
due last week ; but the mistake was rectified in time,
and the bills were paid in due course.
We are informed that a statement which we
lately received from a Correspondent at Stockport,
to the effect that the business of Messrs. Stocks and Son
was likely to be carried on for the benefit of the credi-
tors, was Incorrect. The works have been in operation
since the bankruptcy, but only for the purpose cf using
up the materials then upon the premises; and when those
are exhausted, the hands will all he discharged.

ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, AUG. 9.
The market to-day has shown some improvement upon
that of last week. Indeed we have not had so brisk a
demand for flannels since this year came in as there has
been to-day, and the manufacturers have obtained a
little advance in price. In the wool market there has
not been much alteration ; the dealers have asked higher
prices, but have taken those of last week.
HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, TUESDAY, AUGUST 10.—
There was not quite so much business done to-day as
last week ; but still a fair quantity of goods exchanged
hands, especially in low Tweeds and coarse fancy wool-
lens, chiefly for exportation. The demand for super-
fines and light fancy goods was rather flat. Prices,
however, are firm, with a tendency upwards. In wools
there was not much done, the manufacturers not feel-
ing pisposed to give the advance demanded. Employ.
ment is, on the whole, better here then in most manu-
facturing districts. Business in the warehouses is not
much to complain of, if better prices could be realised.

LATEST BETTING AT MANCHES-

TER.

The three, days racing at Wolverhampton has attracted
