STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, Nov. 26.—The market for shipping
yarns has been very quiet. Very little business has
been done, and to make sales lower prices have had
to be accepted. The excitement of the election has

to some extent interfered with business. Home trade
yarns have been slow of sale, with a slight conces-
sion in prices. Any offers making have been about

id. per lb. under what sellers would take, but some
of the offers have been for large quantities at that
decline. The cloth market has shown little change
since last report. Buyers have been indisposed to
operate, and the purchases have been on the smallest
possible scale. There is no material reduction in

the value of goods, but the tendency of prices for
this week past has been in favour of the buyers. To-
day we observe the same indisposition to purchase,
although some few buyers are making offers for 811 b
shirtings and other goods for India, such offers,
however, being on too low a scale to admit of accept-
ance. The market to-day has been inactive and
business limited. Messrs. John Slagg and Co. re-
port :—" We have no change to report in the gene-
ral aspect of our market since last Tuesday. To-day
buyers continue to act with caution, and the ten-
dency of prices is perhaps in their favour; but the
offers made are too low to lead to much business."
CARDIFF, Nov. 25.—The steam coal trade con-

tinues to exhibit signs of considerable vitality, and
during the past week the demand for the Eastern
markets has been good, owing to the requirements
of the Abyssinian expedition. The shipments to
Aden, Bombay, Singapore, Madras, Point de Galle,
and one or two other ports in that quarter, are
rather above last year, and freights are compara-
tively firm. From some of the West India stations
the inquiries are not so numerous as they were a
week or ten days ago ; but owing to the disastrous
hurricane at St. Thomas coal is being sent out
there to replace the large quantity destroyed. From
the Mediterranean markets there is a fair average
demand. House coal proprietors are not over busy,
and the collieries cannot be said to be in anything
like full employ. Coasting houses are scarcely
making the purchases they did at the corresponding
period of 1866, and the local consumption has not
increased to the extent anticipated. The iron trade
is in just the same position as last week, and there
is no animation whatever evinced in the demand
from any quarter. Eor tin plates the inquiry has
slackened, and quotations have a downward
tendency.

LEEDS, 26th.—There has been no change of im-
portance in the character of the business done in
the cloth halls this morning. Merchants and other
buyers continue to operate with great caution, and
the aggregate amount of cloth which has changed
hands to-day has been rather below than above a
late average. The weather is open and compara-
tively warm, which tends to keep winter goods in
the hands of both drapers and tailors, and also has
the effect of checking even straggling orders for such
goods in the wholesale markets. The demand for
spring goods is but very slowly developing, and
altogether the woollen manufacture of this town
and district is far from being brisk. Prices are
much the same as last noted.

ROCHDALE, 25th.—The flannel trade keeps rather
dull, but manufacturers are moderately well em-
ployed. There was only a small attendance of
buyers in the market to-day, and their purchases
were confined to small parcels. Prices were in most
instances fully as high as of late, but a slight con-
cession was made in some of the larger purchases.
'1 here is no change in the demand for' Yorkshire
goods, which keep in moderate request, without any
material change in prices. The local wool trade is
quiet, manufacturers purchasing little beyond their
immediate wants. rrices are slightly lower.
