STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, FEB. 10

There bas bee❑ rather more activity in the yarn mar-
ket, and in some kinds of twist we may quote id. ad-
vance on last Tuesday's quotations. The principal
buyers have been the German and Russian houses, and
there has been some little doing for India. Cop yarns
are also in good request, without change in prices so far
AR lower counts are considered, but the finer cops, from
70's upwards, are fully id. per lb. dearer, owing to the
extra demand recently made for Egyptian and Brazilian
cotton. In cloths beyond a better feeling there is
nothing to remark. There has been very little business
doing in fal.rics suited to either the home or foreign mar-
kets. In India and China shirtings there is now comae
accumulation of stocks, more particularly in 61b. and
71b. goods. Prices have declined in these goods during
the last four weeks from 4il to 61. per piece, which
leaves a heavy lose on their production at the present
rates for the raw material.

Messrs. John Slagg and Co. report :
" From Tuesday last to the end of the week there was
no change in the state of the market for goods. Yester-
day and to-day, however, owing principally to the im-
provement in the cotton market, but in some degree also
to the gradual extension of short time, there has been more
firmness displayed by producers than for the last two or
three weeks, and in souse instances a slight advance has
been asked, 'but so far there is no improvement whatever
in the demand, and the transactions of this day are conse-
quently again on a very small scale."
Messrs. George Fraser, Son, and Co. report:—
" These has been somewhat more business doing in India
goods where low prices were taken, but it has not done
anything to affect the other portions of the market, which
remain steady, but with few and limited transactions."
NOTTINGHAM, FEB, 10.
The lace trade has improved to a slight extent, still in
many branches business is dull. For Canada and the
continental markets there is a fair amount of business
transactions, and operations for our home trade are also
extending. Brown nets continue exceedingly dear.
'there are orders for goods for America, and upon the
whole the lace trade is in a heathy trade. In silks and
the high
fancy goods there is not much doing, in consequence of
price of material. The hosiery trade continues
very bri.k, the demand which we have experienced for
several weeks past being
in no way diminished. The
stocks on band being very low, the present demand ren-
dere the market very busy.

LEEDS, FEL 10.
The woollen cloth market has been very firm in both
cloth halls this morning. Me'tons, ladies' cloths, and
other fabrics for the spring trade are in brisk request,
and the supply is scarcely equal to the demand. Manu-
facturers are busy, and they are not disposed to sell ex-
cept at an advance on last month's prices.
The report of the Huddersfield market tc-day is as
follows :
" The market is a very fair one. There is an average
attendance of buyers, and inquiries for summer goods
have commenced among shipping houses with consider.
