STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, kencH 3. —Although the pressure for
money continues with little or no abatement, there has been
rather more inquiry for goods during the last three days,
especially for printing cloths and 40-inch shirtings of
good quality, and prices remain without any sensible
change. For yarn the demand has been very lan-
guid, and prices are generally rather lower than last
week. We are sorry to learn that the losses iu this town,
by a recent failure in Liverpol, of a house in the East
India trade, will be very serious,—report says from 70,0001.
to 80,0001., generally in large sums.—[.l3y a very absurd
error of the press on Saturday, the reduction in the price of
yarn was stated to be 6s. 4d. per pound: it should have been
a farthing.]
ROCHD ALE, MARCH 2.—The flannel market still remains
dull and heavy, and there is no improvement in the demand
for goods. Last week another manufacturer stopped pay-
ment, but the amount of claims upon his effects has not yet
been ascertained. The wool market has undergone little
change for some weeks past as respects either price or demand.
LEEDS, MARCH 3.—No symptoms of revival in our markets
are as yet perceptible, the demand still continuing very lan-
guid and very limited.

HUDDERSFIELD, Baum 3.—To-day there has been a very
flat market, but few goods having changed hands, and those
of, inferior quality. Heavy complaints are made as to the
difficulty of obtaining money, and great anxiety is felt for
the results of to-morrow's settlement. Should it pass over
favourably, it is hoped' that confidence may be restored.—
Manchester Guardian.

TRADE OF BRADFORD, THURSDAY.—The wool market was
a very heavy one. The spinners continue to buy only for
present consumption, and-under the expectation that pricer
will be much lower. There was no variation in price. There
is certainly more inquiry for .yarns, especially by the export
houses, though on the whole the market on Thursday was in
all its brandies very dull. Prices of yarn were the sanint.3
