STATE OP TRADE'.

MANCHESTER, June All sections of the mar-
ket have been quiet to-day, and business has been
entirely devoid of animation. The market for
shipping yarns has assumed a quieter tone ever since
Tuesday, and to effect sales to-day slightly lower
prices would have to be submitted to. Spinners
generally being under contract hold steadily to their
quotations, and it is only in exceptional cases that
buyers can obtain any advantage. Sellers look for-
ward to a considerably improved demand so slon as
the holidays are over. The exceedingly large business
done in yarns during the last few weeks disposes
buyers to pause, and in home trade yarns as well as
those for shipping there is less doing to-day, at
prices tending rather in favour of the buyer. The
cloth-market is quiet, There is no actual change
in quotations, though perhaps in a few instances
prices have been rather against sellers where smal
lots have been purchased. Buyers report that in
some cases they have been able to operate l id. per
piece lower than on Tuesday, while manufacturers
have found yarns under 50's about -id. per lb.
cheaper. The chief business doing is still for India,
the demand for other markets being languid.

BARNSLEY, 7th.—The iron trade in the South
Yorkshire district may be said to be a shade firmer
in nearly all departments. At Milton and Elsecar
matters are improving, and more work is being turned
out. At the South Yorkshire works at Penistone
the men are actively engaged in the manufacture of
Bessemersteel, several hundred tons being turned out
weekly. At the railway waggon works there is not
so much doing as of late. At the Midland and Park-
gate works there is more work doing, and future
prospects are encouraging. At Northfield matters are
more cheering. In manufactured iron there is little
improvement to report. The armour-plate branch
is a little healthier. In railway materials, such as
tyres, axles, wheels, &c., there is a brisk business.
The coal trade remains without much alteration.
In house coal there is a fair trade for the time of the
year, both at the landsale pits and with the London
and country merchants. In slack and smudge for
coke making, and engine fuel, a brisk business is
being done for the manufacturing districts. At the
Lundhill colliery a great demand for coal exists for
London and Lancashire, and a few Jaye ago no less
than 880 tons of coal were drawn out in one day,
besides slack, &c., a larger quantity than has been
known to be drawn out in one day since the col-
liery was opened.

LEIC ESTER, 7th.—ln consequence of there being
but little new wool in the market, and the old in
the hands of the dealers not being of the right kind,
business with wool-staplers is much at a standstill.
There is a good demand for the best quality of
hogs, which appear to be the only things asked for
by Yorkshire houses. Generally speaking, the
trade may ba said to show a slight improvement
over the past few weeks. 'Worsted yarns are flat,
at somewhat lower prices, nor is any great improve-
ment expected until after the wool fair, the result
of which manufacturers seem to be waiting. It is
hoped that after the coming holydays orders will
begin to rally. Cotton yarns are steady in price and
firm, and silks higher. The worsted hosiery spinners
are doing a much better business than for some time
past. A large number of orders are being made up
at regular rates, and altogether things look exceed-

ingly hopeful for after the holidays. The improve-
ment in the autumn woollen hosiery trade continues,
but it is of a very slight character, houses purchasing
simply from hand to mouth. There is a good
demand for cotton plain hosiery considering that it
is nearly the errd of the Leicester season. At Hinck-
ley the trade continues very active, but this week
the shipping orders have not been quite so numerous.
The elastic trade shows a better demand for boot
gusset webs, and orders to hand are fully up.to the
average. Materials are still advancing in price.
There is no new feature to report in the boot and
shoe trade, which continues pretty brisk, with a fair
shipping business.
