STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian of this day.)
MariciresTEß, TUESDAY.—We have
,again to re-
port a heavy and drooping market. Ihe increasing
pressure of a full production upon outlets so seriously
narrowed by various causes, has been felt to-day in a
somewhat further diminution of the prices of yarns
and goods. There prevails in the trade, however,
such a disposition to yield to that which, in the pre-
sent condition of things, is manifestly unavoidable,
that, after all, a sufficient amount of business is done
to prevent any material accumulation of stock. There
has been a rather increased inquiry, together with
some business, for goods adapted to the India and
China markets—no doubt in anticipation of the com-
ing mail. The heavy shirtings for China continuo
relatively more valuable than the lighter fabrics for
India. The operations for the various continental
markets have been limited and irregular. The letters
received to day from the Levant are of eleven days
later date than the previous advises, viz.:—From
osfes ;thfo the death
dthe thea of
Constantinople of the 7th , Athens of the Bth, and
Smyrna of the Gth inst. Their effect is to cause a con-
tinued inactivity among
to thsGr
arise
poli-
tical struggles likel.y
Alobammed Shah, King of Persia, were preventing
the transmission of specie to Constantinople, in pay-
ment for manufactures, in
. consequence of which busi-
ness has suffered a serious check in that city. The
Tabriz branch of an eminent firm in this city repre-
sent the trade of that place as being entirely paralysed
, by the certainty of a military contest for the vacant
I throne. Our borne trade houses are complaining of a
greatly increased flatness in their branch of business.
A failure in the stuff trade is announced to-day, viz.,
j Messrs. S. A. Butterworth and Co., whose liabilities
are stated at various amounts; probably they may
exceed 40,0001. They have a house at Bradford.

ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—There has been a steady
demand for goods of every description today, at
prices much the same as those of the preceding week.
Wool remins heavy of sale, and the dealers complain
of the limi:ed demand there is for the raw material.

HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.—The transactions to-
day have been very limited. Were it not for a few
orders received by the late American pacluts for
fancy goods, we shoull have to report scarcely any-
thing doing in the district. But this period is gene-
rally considered the dullest of the whole year.
HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—We scarcely ever recollect
seeing so small an amount of business done in our
Piece Hall as was done to-day; but there is rather
more doing in the warehouses, chiefly in plain goods,
though by no means what is usual at this season. In
yarns, we have no particular alteration to notice, ex-
cept that the shipping houses seem to purchase for
the German markets with rather less confidence.
Wool remains pretty much the same as noticed in our
last report.
LEEDS, TUESDAY.—There has been perhaps a shade
more doing to-day at our Cloth Halls than last week ;
but, upon the whole, the state of our market remains
without improvement.
