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-(1. 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-
tion of the discoiant market. Spinners have been
down at Liverpool and purchased low-priced cot-
tons, anxious to secure contracts, and the buyers of
cloth look for at least a corresponding advantage.
The sales in 40-inch India shirtings have been
made at a decline of 11-d. 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 therm 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.

ROCHDALE, July 30.—There has been rather a
dull market fGr 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
ices. Yorkshire goods sell moderately well.

The 3Eysterious Power of the Magnet is most beautifully
developed ;by Mr. F. 31. if EIZRINO, of 32, Basinghall-street,
in his Patent Magnetic Brushes and Combs, which are the
remedy for grey hair, weak or falling hair, neuralgia, nervous
headache. rheumatism, stiff Joints, &c. Ills Teazle Brushes
tor cloth, velvet, 4,!re., are admirable ; they not only cleanse
but preserve the fabric In a remarkable manner. The public
are cauttor.ed against counteet4:its. [ADyr.]
