STATE or TRADE.—The appearance of the market
continues to improve. Although, owing to the season, no
great amount of business has been done in goods, the market
is firmer, and, in some cases, a slight advance has been ob-
tained. In yarn the improvement is more decided; large
purchases have been made at an advance on some current
numbers of a farthing a pound since yesterday fortnight.--
ItocliDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, DEC. 29.—At this
time of the year the flannel market is unusually dull, and
there is very little hope of any change for the better before
the first market, which is the first Monday after the Gth of
January. The wool dealers complain of the limited demand
there is for that article. Prices may be quoted the same as
last Monday.—Manchester Guardian.

THE SOUTH STAFFORDSHIRE IRON DISTRICTS.—
WOLVERHAMPTON, SATURDAY.—The usual meeting of
the South Staffordshire East Worcestershire, and Shrop-
shire ironmasters, preliminary to the quarterly meetings
which commence at Walsall on the 6th of January, was
held in this town yesterday. The gentlemen who at-
tended, it is understood (fur those meetings are strictly,
private), unanimouily resolved not only " to support ex-
i, ting rates," but the feeling was prevalent amongst the
large capitalists and best informed members of the trade,
that the present demand for iron, combined with future
expectations, would justify a further advance. Whether
this freely-expressed opinion was put out as a mere
feeler, or whether it may not be understood to be an intended justification of present prices, those who
arerett
en-
gaged iu the trade can alone judge. It appefarsnrilway
