STATE OF TRADE.

(From the Manchester Guardian of thin day.)
MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—We have again to re-
port a somewhat inanimate state of things in our
market, owing partly, so far as goods are concerned,
to the degree in which some descriptions are en-
gaged ; while it is traceable, to a much greater
extent, to the same cause, so far as relates
to yarns. But the requirement of rather
higher prices, which was made last week, is
also found to have something to do with this
quietness, standing in the way of business between
parties who have orders to give out, on the one
hand, and such as are open to receive them, on
the other. Considering how remarkably bare of supply
the yarn market i., and how free from stock that of
goods continues to be, while the actual demand is still
good, and the prospect for the future encouraging, it
is remarkable how slow and difficult is the upward
course in prices. A settled cautiousness marks the
conduct of all parties, at present, keeping down the
spirit of speculation amongst buyers, and moderating
the demands of producers. These features, taken in
connexion with the general state of commerce, are very
justly regarded as evidences of the safe and healthy
condition of the trade of this district ; and the pre-
vailing desire is that it should not be disturbed by
any forced action upon prices. It is, therefore, seen
with satisfaction, on our Exchange, that there is that
sort of halting in Li►erpool which naturally follows
an undue advance.
The articles least in demand, in our markets, are
perhaps Indian descriptions of yarns and goods; yet,
although comparatively dull, they are steady as re-
gards value. Fine yarns are also quiet. In 30's
reeled water, there is rather a hardening in price,
while a decided firmness is maintained in the lower
counts, and a general steadiness in warps and cops.
The latter remark applies also to printing cloths, and
to the stouter makes of cloth, taken at large.

MACCLESFIELD, TUESDLY.—After a long absence of
demand for goods, the expectations of our manufac-
turers have been somewhat revived by the presence of
several influential buyers, who have operated to an ex-
tent sufficient to ,warrant the conclusion that a resump-
tion of activity will shortly take place. The thrown
silk market does not exhibit any material signs of
improvement ; and considering its past unsatisfactory
state, it is a matter for congratulation with the trade
that prices retain their firmness. In raw silk the late
activity displayed by consumers in the purchase of
chinas has for the present considerably subsided, and
in the meantime the deliveries for the mills continue
satisfactory.
ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—We have had a dull, heavy
market, and a rather limited amount of business has
been transacted. For kerseys and coarse goods the
manufacturers are asking more money, in order to
meet the extra price asked for low-priced wools. The
wool market has been slack, and prices have been
much the wee as last week's.
HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—The attendance in our
piece hall to-day has been but slender; and scarcely
any goods have changed hands, except a few lastings,
i,n e
sales
of the lower and the finer qualities. Yarns are
still
isnaesgreatly depressed state, and the present un-
satisfactory quotations are with difficulty maintained.
of wool are moderate, as the spinners buy
only fur present use, and prices have undergone no
alteration.

LEEDS, TUESDA.T.—The markets at the cloth halls
have been flit both today and on Saturday last, and
there is not much doing to order. Business is dull
in the warehouses, considering the season of the year.
