STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, June 26.—The improvomen"°f-
ticed on Tuesday, arising from the reduction ofi
stocks and o•her causes, continues, and there is t
steady demand for cloths of most descriptions so
very full rates. The advance in cotton this week
been been quite equal to that of the last and preceue6'
week's, being about the 16th of a penny on fair,v,P;
lands, ana Id. per lb. on Mobile and Orleans• lv
this advance manufacturers 'are not, of course, e Ckila
to keep pace, and all that can bo said in
respect is that they are in a position to eluer-0
rather better rates in some cases. Messrs. Georg
Fraser, Son, and Co., in their circular of
yesterdaY/
report the advanced quotations duringthe last four'
weeks as follows :—" For 7-Bths printers, lid. Irar
piece, for 9-Btbs madapollams; 11 to lid. i't
9-Bth printers and shirtmgs, ld. to 3d. per piece':
for figured shirtings, lAd. ; for low 5 to 8-ine
jaconots, Id. ; fur T cloths and long cloths,
lid. ; and for 39-inch 64 reed shittingS
further 3d. per piece, the lower qu4itti.es
of the latter up to 71b. remaining stationary 111
value, Yarns generally are id. to id, per lb. dearer,
while some of the spinnings of Indian mule yto,,
have recovered full id. per lb. from the extreelci
point of depression, and domestics have advanced
a further 1-16 d., or in some cases even id. per Jas
upon the prices at which business was practicable
month ago. The finer kinds of Indian jaconots sPu'
mulls are, on the contrary, a little lower in price
than this time last month. Where these quotations!
however, are held firmly they, tend somewhat to
impede business."
Ger;NOTTINGHAM. —Lace : We have had many
man buyers in the market this week—their Oa
chases are quite as large as usual, and distribute
over many kinds of goods. The demand fur extra'
stiff nets and mosquitos is as great as it ever h •
been. Plain quillings are also much asked for ; 1.0
fact the bulk of the trade appears to be done
articles which were much in vogue ten years ag3.
whilst the newest fancy goods are sold with mu
ia
difficulty. We expect twat whenever a change 0,,
fashion takes place this order of things will be rst
versed. There does not appear to bo the lea,e,
probability of silk being lower in price ; the geli
ral opinion is that it will sooner advance. xa__,, ns
remain about stationary ; they are more plentifT;
but very little concession can be obtained
_
spinners and doublers rather hold stock than
submit to reduction.—Hosiery : This is usually °
quiet time of the year in the way of trade, and tb?
present season forms no exception to the general
rule. Some of the principal houses are taking an
account of their stock, which finds useful employ"
ment in the absence of the more agreeable and pr°‘
fitable one of supplying the necessities of home,
colonial, and foreign customers. The cost of yarns
and silk still presents a formidable barrier to 80
extensive business.—.Nottingham Journal of yester"
day.
LEicEsTEß„—,There has been rather more inquiry
week, but not sufficient to

further osirey this
employment to the machinery laing
idle. There is no alteratiOn to report in our all
branches. The caution adopted by the worsted
spinners finding prices so unremunerative for solo°
time past has kept the yarn market clear, and the
