STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian of this day.)
MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—Our market to-day shows
a more decided improvement than any time during the
present reaction from the depressed state of things that
existed during the greater part of October. Yarns of
every description up to 70's have been sold at id. to id.
per lb. above last week's rates, with the exception of
20's and 50's mule, which are unchanged in value.
No. 16 to 24 and 30 twist are still in greatest
demand, and most difficult to obtain in anything like a
reasonable time. No. 30 water has been sold readily,
at id. per lb. advance upon last week's prices; and for
China orders have been given out that will not be
delivered before the early part of February next.
The German buyers find great difficulty in executing
their orders, not on account of the prices demanded,
or of unwillingness on the part of spinners to sell
the quantity wanted, but on account of the time
❑ecessary for delivery; and this circumstance has, in
some measure, restricted business to-day with other
buyers besides the Germans. Our home manu-
facturers continue their purchases to a fair extent,
and rather more is doing in 60's and 70's for the
Bradford manufacturers. Cloth is also more active,
especially good qualities of every description of
printers, shirtings, domestics, and long cloths; and
production in most cases being engaged for the greater
part of next month, a general advance is demanded,
and has, in many cases, been obtained. Low qualities
of printers, shirtings, and long cloths are neglected; but
of these, production is now comparatively small, and
rapidly reducing, especially in low India shirtings. The
demand for China in 39 inch 60 and 66 reed shirtings
is at present very extensive, and there are no stocks to
tupply it.
RocrananE, MONDAY.—The flannel market continues
dull and inactive, with little or no variation in prices.
We have had a quiet wool market, and prices stationary.
HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—There is no change to-clay in
the aspect or our piece hall, except that there has been
a little more inquiry for lastings, of low quality. There
is a somewhat better feeling in the yarn market. A
conviction that the raw material is not likely to be
lower, combined with the great reduction of stocks
arising out of the extensive diminution of production,
has induced the merchants to operate with a little more
confidence, and to give out more freely the orders they
had on hand. There is, consequently, a firmer tone in
the quotations. The wool market is steady, but not
active. The stocks in the hands of the staplers are not
large, but the spinners only purchase from • hand to
mouth; and prices have undergone no variation.
HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.—Our market opened very
flatly this morning, though rather more has been done
in the Cloth Hall during the day than the previous
market. Light low goods have been inquired for by the
American buyers. The home trade is very quiet, ex-
cepting orders for a few parcels of heavy goods. Lithe
wool market very little has been done,
LEEDS, TUESDAY.—The market, has been dull to-
day, but on Saturday last there was a good attendance
at the Cloth Hall, and more business was done than for
some time past. The clothiers still complain of the
lowness of prices compared with the prices of wool and
manufacturing. There has been more doing at the ware-
houses during the past week, principally in heavy
winter goods.

THE NORTH WALES MUSSEL FISHERY --A very
remunerative trade is springing up inNorthWales,orignating
in the more extensive working of the various fisheries along
the coast. The whole of theng
country abounds with fish of every
dsold only for local use, but

have been engaged
women, and children, for even the latter
Em-
ployment has thus been afforded to a large number of men,
in the collection of the fish on the shore, between high and
low water mark; and there can be no doubt that in a short
time the valuable and hitherto neglected fisheries on the
Welsh coast will be fully and profitably worked, affording to
a number of small coasting vessels regular employment and
adequate remuneration. Oyster dredging is
to a great extent in Cardigan Bay, there being carried on
seventeen
vessels employed, which average 1,000 fish per day.
THE NAVIGATION LAWS._ NO less than 74 new
vessels, whose aggregate tonnage amounts to 32,000, aro
on the stocks in the building yards on the banks ofthe
Wear. 13 of them are 13 years at Lloyd's; 4, 12 Years ;
and 16, 10 years. Four noble vessels, of an average ap-
proaching 700 tons, were launched on Saturday ; others will
be launched during the present springs.
The gallantry and courage which distinguish the
boatmen of our coast have become proverbial, and the boat-
men of Harwich occupy a prominent position, but among the
Harwich men it will be no injustice to give precedence to
the Lewes family. How few oak boast of having saved one
hundred and twenty-nine fellow-creatures from death! the
number saved through the instrumentality of this family
during the last twelve or fourteen years. The daring of the
Messrs. Lewes has, at last, attracted general attention, and a
committee is in course of formation to make arrangements
for raising subscriptions throughout the country, for some
kind of testimonial to these brave and gallant fellows.—
