STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, Martell 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. l'or yarn the demand has been very lan-
guid, and prices arc 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.—[By 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 %LE, MAncit 2.—The flannel market still remains
dull and heavy, and there is no improvement in the demand
for gc.ods. Last week another manufacturer stopped pay-
ment, but the amount of claims upon his effect= 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, MAscii 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, Trtunsnar.—The wool market was
a very heavy one. The spinners continue to buy only for
present consumption, and under the expectation that prices
will be
much lower. There was no variation m 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 branches very dull. Prices of yarn were the same as
for the last week or so. Business in the piece market ;was
extremely dull. A good number of merchants were present,
but they pui chased very sparingly. We attribute this to the
suspense respecting the corn laws.
TRADE OF NorriNcitAm.—The cotton hose trade, whe-
ther wrought or cut, continues in a dull and lingering state.
The silk glove trade has very suddenly revived, and may be
said to be brisk. There is evidently a want of hands, and no
apprentices have been taken for years in the silk hosiery
manufacture, though some years ago many masters had thirty
and forty apprentices. The silk hose trade has by no means
felt this improvement in demand, and, in fact, it has every
appearance of becoming extinct. The fancy bobbin-net trade
is in a stagnant state, hundreds of young and able workmen
being unemployed. The warp lace trade, with a few excep-
tions, is in a wretched state, especially the hand blond-net.
—Nottingham Review.
TRADE OF LEICESTER.—Our market still continues in a
very depressed state without any symptoms of amendment
this week ; the operatives are still fairly employed in expec-
tation of a change. The cash locked up in railway specu-
lation, and the doubt hanging over the political horizon,fully
account for this depression. Worsted yarns are dull of sale
without alteration in price. A fair bu,i ness doing in wools at
steady prices.—Leicester Journal.

PRINCE ALBERT AT RYDE.—On Monday his 1103 al
Highness Prince Albert arrived, in the Fairy steamer, off Hyde,
where he was received by a vast concourse of people, the guns of
the Superb, 80, tiring a royal salute. His Royal Highness, accom •
pained by his suite, proceeded to the site of a new building about to
be erected, and there, with the customary ceremonies, laid the foun-
dation stone of the Royal Victoria Yatch Club House. A spectator
observes, " It was one of the grandest days Hyde ever saw ; and the
inhabitants of the island, it would appear from the numbers assem-
bled on the occasion, estimated the oeremony as an event of surpass
is invortauce."
