STATE OF TRADE.

LEEDS, April 18.—There has been very little
business done in the cloth halls to-day. The trade
is moderately firm, and manufacturers are doing a
fair amount of business ; but electioneering proceed'
ings are absorbing so much attention that few sales
of goods are making at the present moment.
MANCHESTER, April 19.—The market has been
exceedingly flat, the uncertainty hanging over con-
tinental affairs disposing buyers of all kinds of
goods for which there is not a pressing want to
defer operations as long as possible. In yarns there
have been offers for India, but at rates too low to
find acceptance. For Germany and the Mediter-
ranean the sales have been almost stopped ; the
home trade is flat. For what business has been
effected prices may be quoted id. per lb. lower on,
water twist, and id. per lb. lower on mule yarn-
Very low numbers of mule and water and 60's to
80's cops are an exception. lhe cloth market has
been very flat, and prices of nearly all kinds of
manufactures, if nominally unchanged, are practi-
cally easier in price.
