STA'TI OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian of this day.)
MANCHESTER, TIIESDAY.—The prospects of supply
from the present crop of cotton, of which 2,224,976
bales are officially reported as having reached the Ame-
rican ports, together with the forwardness in some dis-
tricts of that which is now in the ground, and the gene-
rally favourable state of the weather, have had 'the
effect of checking the upward tendency of the Liver-
pool market, and indeed of giving to prices
a slight turn in the buyers' favour. Our own
market has been so far affected by this cause as
that a less lively state of things has prevailed to-day,
than we bad to describe in the two past weeks. It has
produced a little more chariness amongst the buyers, who
are inclined to inquire how prices may be influenced by
its becoming speedy evident, nut only that we shall have
a crop of 2,400 000 bales this year, but a still larger
elan in the next. Oa the other band, the spinners have
maintained a lirm and independent attitude, being
to a large extent well supplied with orders, and
having great confidence in the sufficiency of the
home arid foreign demand together, to sustain the
value or their production, even it that of the raw mate-
rial should more than loee what it has lately regained—
a which seems indeed necessary to a satisfactory
condition of the trade of this district. With a somewhat
diminished inquiry, therefore, there is yet prevailing
firmness in the prices of yarns, particularly of water
taist. Many spinners aro so much engaged as to be
unable to take orders for some articles. In goods, also,
there has been a general quietness; but, though in this
department sellers do not show exactly the same degree
of ease ab out selling or not selling as in yarns, still the
quotations remain unchanged.
ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—We have had rather more in-
quiry for goods to-day, as well as a little improved de-
mand for pieces; and the manufacturers are in better
spirits, at witnessing symptoms of better times coming.
There is no change in the wool market; prices are firm,
and the demand is steady.
MACCLESFIELD, TIIESDAY.—The demand for manu-
factured goods remains without improvement ; this,
coupld with the low rates now current, tends to check
any increase of production, which continues to be ex-
tremely limited. Home-thrown—This article has been
marked by a considerable increase of business, several
large parcels (chiefly China organzine) having found
purchasers at a reduction equal to that on raves at
Liverpool. Raw Silk—The public sales at London,
which commence to-morrow, have had the usual effect of
suspending business until their result is known.
