STATE OF TRADE.

Although the accounts from
tLioonadoinn
MANCHESTER, APRIL 28._
the state business generally within the .
sottliteeropfarbutssiof the kingdom speak of an amiaseltiorafew-
days, the improvement does not seem to have reached this
market. The demand for yarn to-day has been very limited,
and, on some dvscriptions, prices are a little in favour of the
buyers. In the goods' market, however, there is a little more
activity, especiaily in the better qualities, but without change
in prices, whilst the iaferior qualities: remain in very limited
demand.
RocrinaLE, Arno, 27.--There has been a steady demand
for flannels, but prices have been low and unremunerating to
the manufacturer. The wool market las been in much the
same state as last Mon;-lay.
LEEDS, Amu. 28.--We are happ3r to say our markets
keep improving, and a ve, y fair quantity of business has been
done to-day.. Wool is much firmer in price, and some low
descriptions very much sought after, anti decidedly higher.
HUDDERSFILD,ArrsiL2B.—IIre have Wad a good attendance
of buyers to-day in the market, and sales to some extent
have been effected, but at such pries as to leave little or no
profit to the manufacturers. Several: orders have been re-
ceived that will give employment i'br some weeks. The
weather is each we have but few buyer 3 for the home trade.
