aTATIS OF TRADE.

-MANCHESTER, JAN. 5.
We have had a quieter market owing to the ad-
vance in cotton. The sales of cotton to the trade
yesterday, at Liverpool, were rather large, and
forced up prices, making the total rise from the
lowest point about Id. per pound. Such a serious
advance in cotton has been necessarily followed lyt
producers of yarn and cloth asking a corresponding
increase, and manuta.ctureia required fully 3d. per
1. iece more for long-cloths, T-cloths, madapollams,
and Indian shirtings. Spinners asked an advance
of id. per pound for yarn. Buyers, however, had
satisfied their more pressing wants at the turn of
the market, and the advance has stopped business.
Some manufacturers having accumulated large
stocks are easier to deal with, and there would have
been a large business in both yarn and cloth at lase
week's rates. • For Germany there was little dis-
position to take yarns at any advance, and to
some parts of the continent the frost will neces-
sarily prevent shipments so late in the season.
LEEDS, JAN. 5.
With the improved seasonable charac er of the
weather, which is now bright and fro4y, and the
receipts of m re cheering accounts from Americo,
together with the favourable reports of the way the
bills due on the 4,h have been reet throughout
England and Scotland, there has been a better
feeling in the Cloth-halls this morning. Tile at-
tendance of buyers was of an average nature, and
they operated more freely than of late, so that
altogether the market was more animated, and a
greater bulk of cloth changed hands. The
dressers and dyers are receiving tlittle more work
to do, but not anything of an extensive character.
A brisk trade is not expected, but with the advance
nf the year an improved state of things is confi-
dently anticipated. Cloths, as well as wools, are
tolerably steady in price, and no great alteration is
likely soon to take place in either.

BRADFORD, JAN. 4.
A little more business has been done in wool at
our market to-day. The full rates of la-t week
have been maintained, and in s.ime instances sel-
lers have obtained a slight advance. Inactivity is
still the ruling feature of the worsted yarn trade.
The demand for Germany is likely to be affected by
the severe weather which has set in, as it is sugges-
tive of the closing of the navigation, and will cause
exporters to refrain from shipping to that quarter
at present. There has been increase of business in
cotton warps, the firmness of the markets in Man-
chester and Liverpool having led manufacturers to
think that prices for the present have reached the
lowest point of depression. As regards pieces there
have been few transactions in the market tulday,
and Lo improvement can be noted as compared
with last week.

HUDDERSFIELD, JAN. 5.
There is some improvement to notice in the mar-
ket of this morning. Not, very large purchases
have been made, buyers confining themselves chiefly
to heavy goods. A few orders for spring goads
have been given, and the prospects of the trade are
looking better than they did a week ago.

The trial of Mr. Glover, has been postponed until the
February sessions of the Central Criminal Court.
