STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, Aug. 12.—We have a quiet 13//t
steady market. Under ordinary circumstanc.t
with the present demand for India, lower Priv:
would have to be taken ; but in the heavy eer;
tracts, extending over many weeks to conie,
these goods, buyers generally have no advantage'
They are not realising the extreme prices demand -0
a little time back; but there is a difficulty 100
placing orders at anything under the actual Pricto
hitherto given. In T-cloths there is a modera 0
business at full prices ; but there is less busilg,
for long cloths. Domestics are firm. Printe t,
especially of 26-inch width, are in good requele
and manufacturers have a difficulty in meeting Im
demand. The makers of 36-inch shirtings to.re
mostly pre-engaged. Yarns are less actively in__,`,ns
(pest, but prices are sustained. Cops and v 11;
for Indian goods are an exception, being easier
price; but 16's to 24's water twist, for China
tiombay, continue dearer, as was the case on 0
day. The finer 'yarns from 60's to 100's are nriie 0
and two-folds are in more request at full ro'oo

Continental buyers of yarn are not buying
freely, but the general demand for these rr
keeps them at full rates.
