STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, SEPT. 4.—The market for sugar has
been very dull this week, and the transactions are
limited to small parcels, in some instances at lower
prices. Nothing worthy of notice has been done in silk.
1.000 bales China are announced for sale by auction, in
Liverpool, on the 18th instant. A good demand has
been experienced for cotton this week, and sales to'
some extent have been effected, at gradually improving
prices; and the latest transactions establish an advance of
id. to id. in American descriptions. Since Tuesday
there has been rather less animation in the market, the
advanced rates required having tended to check the de-
mand. Trices, however, are perfectly firm; and, after
the large sales recently made, spinners and manufac-
turers are in a better condition to wait than they were
previously.—Manchester Guardian.

•
BRADFORD, SEPT. 3.—Wool.—There is a full supply
of all kinds of combing wool in the market, but sales
are difficult to effect, prices generally ruling too high to
induce the spinners to buy freely. YARNS. —The de-
mand for yarns continues to improve, both for export
and home consumption. We are glad to learn that
spinners generally are obtaining an advance; spinning,
for many months past, has been a most ruinous trade.
PIECES.—There is a steady business doing in all kinds
of goods suited to the approaching season; manufac-
turers are for the most part making to order. Prices
fully maintained.—Bradford Observer.
NOTTINGHAM, SEPT. 3.—The branches of the hosiery
trade which are carried on in the town and suburbs,
have, with a few exceptions, got considerably worse,
and little is heard amongst the poorest class but want of
work, and want of money by the small tradesmen. The
bobbin-net trade may be considered as considerably im-
proved, particularly in plain nets, most of the German
houses being actively preparing for the ensuing October
Leipsic fair. The cotton warp lace trade keeps gra-
dually improving, the frames being slowly put to work,
while some are working long hours. The silk branch is
depressed ; the same may be said of the bobbin-net silk
trade, which, on the whole, is very dull.—Nottingham
Journal.

LEICESTER, SEPT. 3.—A healthy business in all
branches continues doing, both by the London and coun-
try houses. Stocks of goods on hand are very low, and
wrought hose extremely scarce, the fine weather still
keeping the hands and seamers out. Yarns and wools
are steady.—Leicester Journal.

HERRING FISHING.
BERWICK, SEPT. 4.—Our men are still fishing tle
with as much vigour as ever, and in the early Prto
the week their success was pretty good, but now ow
takes are lighter and not so general. The fish arc flocl
to the north of this ; they are good in quality', for
there is still a prospect of next week making up
the indifference of the returns during the last few daY''
Prices have ranged from 11s. to 12s. per cran.
Of
HOLY ISLAND, SEPT. 3.—During the latter J n art
rra
last week the fishing was what we may justlY 5e50
heavy, many of the boats having between 40 an had
crans at a shot. We heard that one strallgo boll the
80 crans on Friday last. This week, altheug%gy,
fishing is still good, the shots have not been soh Tbe
the highest ranging between 30 and 40 crans•
whole of the present week we have bad between
and two hundred boats in our harbour every tilijaeli;
Some of the Island boats have night after night flop
out, and consequently had poor shots. There hard of
groat havoc amongst the nets of both strangers anftbii
own fishermen. The highest shot we have heard 0
morning (Thursday) is 5 crans. As the weather is "ill,
fine the fishermen expect another shoal on the grou
Prices from 10s. 6d. to 13s. lea
NORTH SIINDERLAND.—The weather during the
week having been very favourable, the fishing 1i55:95,

and a rich harvest has rewarded the fishermen for 0
labour. The season is far advanced, but if the Presoo
good weather continue over next week, a consiarre:ol
quantity may yet be got. On Friday, Saturdal, "tc,
Monday mornings the boats brought in from dye
enti
thirty barrels, and two were said to have fifty to scveiose
each. Tuesday and Wednesday the herring beingheree,
in amongst the rocks, several of the boats lost bole
four, five, and six nets each, and one crew their wfat
fleet. The general take ran from six to ten, and ;of
boats had nearly twenty barrels each. Thursdai,inell
little was done here ; some of the Newton and Bea ell.
boats had good shots, but the fishing was not ge,clere
The prices are looking up—from 114 6d to 125.

DI:INBAR, SEPT. 2.—The fishing since lifonesi take

barrels but rousing in vessels, leaving the sort,"il,s
greater leisure. The fishing ground is about thr.,,,e-ir ie
viest of the harbour, and is said to extend three ''',;',espa
