STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, JAN. 20.
There is little or no change in the market. For 40-inch
ehirtings, suitable to the markets of India and China,
the demand is very limited, and prices, though nomi-
nally quoted as before, are in favour of the buyer. For
printing cloths there is still a moderate demand, at full
prices, and some makes of longcloths and T-cloths are
in request at last quotations. The sales, however, on the
whole have been inconsiderable, and had there been any
accumulation of stocks worth naming prices would have
given way more decidedly in India goods.
The reports of the yarn-market are also unfavourable.
For water twit few offers were made so as to test prices,
and, though there was a fair inquiry for some kinds of
mule twist, it did not lead to much business. For the
latter kinds of yarn spinners were showing more firm-
ness than last week, but some irregularity has been
observable, and sellers pressing on the market in some
fev cases have been willing to accept less money.
The circular of Messrs. John Slagg and Co. says "There is no new feature in the market to-day. Long.
cloths, T-cloths, and printers continue in moderate de-
mand, and prices are firmly maintainel, but for nearly
all other kinds, and especially for India and China goods,
there is little or no demand, and, though there are not
yet any accumulations of stock, prices are becoming very
irregular. The offers made, however, are not of suffi•
cient inagnkude fairly to test the market, and we re-
sume our quotations of Tuesday last."
NOTTINGHAM, JAN. 20.
Although there is not as yet much doing in tae lace
trail (the busy season not having set in), manufacturers
are anticipating an excellent spring Lz iness. There are
not so many black goods making just now. The home
demand is dull, but there are come orders completing for
both the United States and the continent.
In hosiery there is a good demand, and, the stocks on
Land being light, this department of our staple trade is
very buoyant.

LEICESTER, JAN. 20.
The hosiery trade is by no means active. The season
has not, however, yet set in. Manufacturers have for a
long tune past been unable to obtain properly remunera-
tive prices for their goods, the rates of both wools and
yarns being exceedingly high. Stocks are being reduced,
mannfacturers judging it prudent not to increase them,
in consequence of the dearness of material.
LEEDS, JAN 20.
There has been a steady demand for woollen. cloths
and mixed fabrics this morning, and a good bulk has been
sold, considering the quantity brought to market. Goods
to order are passing freely between manufacturers and
merchants, and the trade presents the same satisfactory
aspect we have for some time had to report.
The Huddersfield market has been brisk to-day, there
being a good attendance of buyers, who purchased freely
of piece-dyed blacks, as well as of fancies and low goods.
Wools continue to present an upward tendency in price.
