STATE OF TRADE.
(Freen tle csuarriiars
MaecueseErt, IUESDAY.--1 he decline tel is (piercer of
a cent per lb. in the prier- of cotton at New York, and a
half-cent at New Orleans, consequent on intelligence of
the error of the stock at Liverpool, and of the advance in
the rate of interest by the Bank of England, tails short
of what the apprehensions prevailing here last week had
prep :red all parties to hear of. Some of the letters and
• ir•-ulars ate sateen-ling the estiaattes rather :her Lae
before; but others, including private letters from par-
ties much confided in, still adhere to 2,100,000 to
2,200,000 bales. These accounts have not, however,
produced any favourable effect upon this market, which
they might have done, from the smallness of the decline,
under the circumstances, were it not for the considera-
tion that successive unfavourable reports from Manches-
ter must reach the Sates, and for the fact that opinion
here is in a shaken and unsettled state, as to the supply of
cotton. At the same time, we are in receipt
of advice's of a dull and declining market for yarns
and goads at Bombay, and of a giving way in the
prices of he•th at Calcutta. These circumstances, toge-
ther with a state of things- in Central Europe which
keeps the hands of the merchants completely tied up,
have rather add, d to our depression, and increased the
weakness of prices. There has been no selling of goods,
except at some concession, and but little in that case.
The transactions in yarns have been individually small,
and extremely limited in their aggregate amount;
though, as the sellers have met the buyers on lower
terms, the number of purchases has somewhat increased.
Spinners are for the most part willing to take *d, to /d.
per lb. less than they would have done last week. The
India merchants have not come into the market either
for yarns or goods.
ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—The market today has been
slack, and the business transacted upon a very limited
scale. The buyers are offering lower prices, and in some
cases the manufacturers have submitted to a small re-
duction. The wool market has been quiet, the manu-
facturers showing an unwillingness to purchase, and
prices are stationary.
MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY.—We have had some buy-
ers during the last few days, hut very little business has
been done; the prices demanded evidently operating
against aey desire to purchase. Some descriptions of
really good and new styles have found purchasers at
pretty near asking prices; but the quantity taken bore
more the appearance of prccuring samples than 'transac-
ting real business. Thrown silks are in very little request,
probably owing to the near approach of the public sales
of raw silks, announced to commence on the 18th
instant, and manufacturers generally abstain from
purchasing until their result is known. The dyers
complain of t,ho sudden falling off in the receipt of
throwns from manufacturers, conclusive evidence that
the latter are slackening operations materially.
HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.—WO have no new feature
to report in our market of to-day. The business that
has been done in the Cloth Hall has been light. Stocks
continue low, as the excnanges have been principally to
order. The fancy trade is in a depressed state, the mild
state of the weather hindering persons from buying heavy
goods. and it being full r arly for the spring trade.
HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—There is no noticeable change
in the state of the worsted trade. Stocks are generally
low, and the principal business is done to order, so that
the quantity of goods changing hands in our Piece
Hall is cemparatively insignificant. For damasks and
some descriptions of fancy goods, there is a fair demand;
and the inquiry for low lasttogs is unabated, but the
supply is ha- below the demand. Both in yarns and
wools there seems a greater reluctance to operate; and
nothing has occurred materially to affect the quotations.
LEEDS, TUESDAY.—We have had a quiet market to-
day ; but, on Saturday last, a very fair quantity of goods
were sold. The makers are 4euerally well employed;
hut the advance in the price of wool has had a tendency
to curtail operations.

THE POST-OFFICE.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sln,—Will you kindly permit me to call attention to the
incunvenience and delay to which i (with, no doubt, the
public genendly) have sometimes been subjected by the offi-
cials of some of the branch post-offices?

If your letters are not stamped, and you wish to pre-pay
them, of course you must do so; but it so happens that if
you have not a penny in copper you may be called upon to
tender a fourpenny piece, a sixpence, or a shilling, to defray
the charge. When this has been so I have almost al ways had to
wait till it suited the independence and pleasure of the aris-
tocratic shcpkeeper or his shopman to attend to me. It is
the general rule to serve "customers" first, leaving the petri-
fied correspondent, with letter in hand, till the last. I have
often been sent away from poat•offices because they could
(or would) not give me the difference of a shilling, after de-
ducting a penny for a letter ! But is it not the duty of shop-
keepers wlio unit e the postal department with their own
concern to attend to the letters and the persons by whom
they are brought as readily as to those who purchase things
of them ? And ought not they to be provided with a suffi-
cient staff of hands so as to attend immediately to those who
take their letters to their house? Ought they not, also, to
be provided with change fora shilling?
My complaint, Sir, is not founded upon an accidental cir-
cumstance, or occasional occurrence, for I have experienced
the greatest annoyance when the obstacle has been the least
that could have been presented. it was but the other day
that a loquacious shopman, at a tobacconist's, kept me wait-
ing nearly five minutes, so lost was he in the eloquent
praise of a pipe, which he was earnestly persuading two
young gentlemen to buy. I addressed him several times,
but in vain. He was not literally deaf, yet I had to be
patient until he felt disposed to listen to my appeal.
If the public paid so much for every letter at the time of
posting they would not be so disregarded. Some of these
people are very surly and reluctant; but they forget that
courtesy to a man posting a letter might ensure his custom,
and thus benefit them in their proper business.
I am, Sir, &c.,.

HULL, FEB. 4. The
Messrs. Taylor and Bright's circular states: I
weather has been unseasanably- mild, with occasild
rain, until last evening, when a severe f:ayit set inhagye
still continues. It is to be hoped that this will °ba
some beneficial effect on the trade, which has "f,ir
lamentably dull of late. Our farmers brought 3
_as
supply of wheat to market this day ; the condition pas
much as last week, and we must write the market eat
dry samples fully as dear. Very little foreign rin_Fo.
offering from shipboard, and granared parcels bull;
generally too high limited, the business doing i 8 0f the
merest retail. Barley is dull of sale, the present - era,
ply being beyond the demand; the change of ten
