STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—The market to. day was
firmer and more cheerful, although it did not exhibit
that marked improvement which many persons had
anticipated from the more favourable prospects of the
harvest, and from the settlement of the Schleswig-
Holstein question, respecting which little doubt ap-
pears to be now entertained. The non-arrival, during
the hours of business, of the Hamburgh mail, and the
again unsettled state of the weather, would have some
influence in checking business.
The demand for yarn was more active than for
some time past; and on low counts a slight advance
on the prices of Tuesday last was, in some instances,
obtained. For goods, also, there was more inquiry,
and a steady business was done. Although no actual
advance took place in prices, there was a decided ten-
dency to improvement, the prices asked by manufac-
turers a week ago being pretty easily obtained.
ROCHDALE, MONDAY. We have had a brisk
market to-day, and flannels were eagerly bought up
at last week's prices. The wool market remains in-
active, the manufacturers purchasing as if they
expected the raw material to be obtainable at yet
lower prices.
HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.—The market to-day
has been well attended by buyers, and goods of the
best qualities have been freely purchased. The ware-
houses have been also busily engaged during the
week, and there is everything to justify the hope that
we shall have a good autumn trade.
Haurax, SATURDAY.—AIthough the weather has
become more cheering, and the price of corn is re-
ceding, yet we cannot note any improvement in the
demand for worsted goods, either plain or figured.
Neither have we to record any alteration in the yarn
trade, NN Well remains much the same as stated in our
last report. Wool continues to sell rather more freely,
and the staplers are asking a trifling advance on some
of the sorts that are most in request.
LEEDS, TUESDAY.—The state of our market con-
tinues satisfactory. The fine weather improves the
prospects for a very good home trade in the autumn,
and other causes of a political tendency infuse a better
spirit into our commercial community generally.—
Manchester Guardian of this day.
