STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, July 31.—There has been a fair
amount of business in yarns, but at a sacrifice in
price of cotton 4-d. to id. per lb. since Friday. On
these terms some business has been done by the
home trade, and a moderate portion by buyers in
bundle for India, China, Germany, and the Medi-
terranean. The cloth-market is flat, being affected
by various causes, including the weakness mani-
fested by the cotton-market, the absence of the
India mail (now four days overdue), and the posi
don of the discount market. Spinners have been
down at Liverpool and purchased low-priced cot-
tons, anxious to secure contracts, and the buyers of
cloth lock for at least a corresponding advantage.
The sales in .40-inch India shirtings have been
made at a decline of ltd: per piece, and those in
madapollams; jacconets, and other fabrics for the
same market at a corresponding reduction ; but
there have been very few buyers even on these
terms. These remarks also apply to cloths suitable
to the markets of China. For printing cloths there
is still a moderate demand, and also for long cloths
and T-cloths ; but for all these sellers have to make
a slight reduction in price. jacconets taken for
the Glasgow trade are in but little request. The
reduction in the prices of cloth from the highest
point current a few months ago is 2d. per lb. on
the average—a very serious decline, but against
which, there is the fall in the price of cotton, which
is not inconsiderable, and with all this difference
manufacturers have the satisfaction of reflecting
that prices are at a much safer level, and one likely
to stimulate business as much as possible. The
committee of Messrs. Freeland and Brothers' credi-
tors report that the assets are rather less than esti-
mated (about 2s. 6d. in the pound), that they re-
commenced business in January, 1859, with a vir-
tual deficiency of over £l,OOO, and have, conse-
quently, not been justified in making purchases as
merchants, and they blame them for certain prefe-
rential payments. They think that bankruptcy
would inevitably swallow up any dividend there
may be, and advise a plan of private liquidation.
LEEDS, July 31st.—There has been a small atten-
dance in the cloth-halls this morning. The business
done was but to a moderate extent, and the mar-
ket, take it altogether, was a very quiet one.
Prices in general are firm, and the stock of season-
able goods in the halls, and being brought to
market is of a reasonable character.

ROC LID 30.—There has been rather a
dull market for both wool and flannels to-day. The
price of the former is well maintained, but the de-
mand has rather slackened. Manufacturers are
moderately well employed, but they are demanding
some advance on orders, which rather checks ope-
rations. Lower descriptions of goods are in the
most.request, there being a fair demand for them
for the export trade, and they command good
prices. Yorkshire goods sell moderately well.

The Mysterious rower of the liagnet is most beautifully
developed by Arr. F. M. llEattING, of 32, Basinghall-street,
in his patent Magnetic Brushes and Combs, which arc the
remedy for grey hair, weak or falling hair, neuralgia, nervous
headache rheumatism, still' joints, His Teazle Brushes
for cloth, velvet, &.c., are admirable ; they not only cleanse
but preserve the fabric in a remarkable manner. The public
are cautioned against counterfeit's. [t Dvr.)
