STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, Feb. 12.-,-The renewed activity in the
Liverpool cotton•market, consequent,to some extent on
the ativices brought yesterday front the -United' States
by the. packet-ship America,• ha; had a: slight reaction
upon this market, and there has been more 6usinesc in
both yarn and cloth than could have been foreseen a few
days back, when everything was labouring ,under de-
-1 pression clused by the unfavourable news from India.
Buyers here were bolding back, under ah impression that
has prevailed lucre or less for some. time past, that the
price'of cotton must come down more than it has yet
done., in cmsequenee of am TO plentiful supply, and
manufacturers fresh from their animal stociAaking, with
its disclosures of heavy losses on the transactions of the
past year, were anxiously cautious to keep their hands
as free as possible for a favourable change in the raw
material. The advices from the United States, fixing
lower estimates than bad been hitherto given of the crop
of cotton, cauplefl with the results of recent observation
that the speculative tone of the Liverpool market was
encouraged by larger quantities of cotton being taken one
way or other by consumers than bad been expected, bare
fur the present changed the course which both merchants
and manufacturers were disposed to pursue here, and
hence a renewal of businesathis morning in manufac'ured
goods on a larger scale, though not unaccompanied with
much uneasiness and doubt as to the policy they are
driven to pursue. The advance on cotton is about 1 led.
per lb., and spinners here have been in a position to ask
Ad. per lb. over the rates of last week,
,so that manufac
tercra have been driven to seek a Corresprlading advance.
In long cloths and T cloths for .the Levant there has
been a good demand, and business has been done in some
cases at a small advance, and in most instances at the
extreme rates of last Tuesday'. Shifting's, madapollante,
and jaccon e is, which ware depressed and scarcely sale-
able last week, have to-3v fuund ready purchasers at
rates which were doclined.ilatit•TuestlityVand iri ' dm e
aces at an advance. But for a more coneiderable ad-'
ranee asked by manufaCturers in anticipation of a yet
dearer raw material we should probably havelhad a still
larger business. In yarns, as alreairstatedi an advance
of Ad. per lb. is asked, and with a feeling ,that prices
may yet be higher there has been a rather active demand
from home manufacturers and also from the Germans.
The demand for other markets has been pretty general,
but on a much less scale.

Messrs. John Slagg and Co. report this evening :
"There is a better feeling in the market, and a more
general demand to-day than we have bad for the last few
weeks. Jacconets, madapolams, and shirtings, which
were so much depressed last week aro now readily sale-
able at the extreme rates then asked, and in some in-
stances at a slight a lvance. Long cloths, T clothe, and
low printers continue in good request, at fall prices.
Many producers, however, owing to the growing im-
preesion that prices of cotton will at least bo maintained,
are asking a considerable advance, and the business of
the day is in consequence much curtailed."
Messrs:George Fraser, Son, and Co. say :—" The
demand for goods to day has been steady, with the ex-
ception of that perhaps for India fabrics, which are in
less inquiry, and in consequence of the state of the
cotton-market many sellers ask a little advance in prices.
Yarns are very firm in prices, with a tendency to some
advance."

LEEDS, Feb. 12.—The attendance in the cloth-halls
this morning was of about an average character, and a
fair amount of cloth changed hands. Where any dispo-
sition was shown to abate from the highest range of
prices for good woollens, both white and dyed, there was
not much difficulty in effecting sales. Clothiers did nit
appear anxious to make reductions, the general opinion
being that wools will soon advance above their present
rates. A good attendance at the forthcoming sales in
the metropolis, which commence on Thursday next, is
anticipated.
The following is the report of the Huddersfield mar-
ket of this day :
"There has been a good attendance of buyers, who
have been principally on the lookout for job lots cheap.
The demand for regular market goods is slightly im-
proved, and sales, on the whole, have been pretty brisk.
The spring patterns are in fair request. No change in
the wool-market."
