STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, MAT 19.
Nothing hag occurred to give an impulse to the trade of
this district since our last report, and the cloth-market
continues exceedingly dull. There is a general indisposi-
tion to operate among buyers, and manufacturers would
have had to make a farther concession in price to force
sales, which is a course they are unwilling to adopt in the
present state of the market for the raw material. Those
who are able to hold their goods prefer doing so at present,
but this is not the case with many of our producers. A de-
crease of production, by adopting short time, is still talked
of, and a meeting to agree upon terms has been convened
for that purpose. With the exception of the makers of
domestics, perhaps there will be a difficulty in such an
arrangement, because, bad as things are, they are not bad
enough, in cases where manufacturers have large quanti-
ties of cottage property let to their mill operatives, to in-
duce the sacrifice which is implied in working short time
under such circumstances. The makers of domestics have
been driven by the over-production of these cloths and the
unremunerative state of prices to adopt this course more
generally than might have been expected. In other branches
of the trade millowners are not in every case waiting to
see what their neighbours are willing to do, but have
adopted a course for themselves. In Preston alone we hear
of two large millowners having stopped their mills, and
others in various parts of the district have reduced their
production to three and four days' work per week. There
is not only a want of confidence among buyers in the pre-
sent high prices caused by the dearness of cotton, but the
opinions generally prevalent are that silk and almost all
kinds of produce are too high and with these feelings they
are unwilling to operate for more than immediate wants,
and carefully avoid any business of a speculative character.
In yarns there is the same lack of animation as in cloth,
and, notwithstanding the recent rise in the raw material,
spinners have in some cases had to make a concession this
morning of -ad. per lb. in yarns to effect sales. The little
business done has been chiefly for Germany, and there is
some inquiry for India consequent on the letters to hind
by the overland mail, but it has not yet led to business.
The failure of a spinner at Middleton, with liabilities
equal to about 25,0001., and advicos from La Guayra, in
South America; to the effect that a mercantile house there
bad stopped payment, have had a bad effect here. The
chief creditors of the latter house are a firm in London,
and another in Hamburg, but three houses in Manchester
will probably lose something like 10,0001.
Messrs. John Slagg and Co. report :--" There is no
change in the market since our last report. There is still
a fair demand for long cloths and P cloths at former rates,
but for all other kinds, and especially for India and China
goods, the market continues exceedingly flat. We cannot,
however, quote any change in prices, for there is as yet no
accumulation of stooks, but the general tendency is in fa-
vour of buyers.

LCSTER, MAY 19.
The hosiery trade for common plain EI
goEods continues very
flat. There is a slight business doing in gloves and fanciee
for the American and German markets, but most branches
of trade are very dull. Wools and yarns continue very
high. In the country districts great inactivity pervades
the hosiery trade.

LEEDS, MAY 19.
A very quiet tone, oven for a Tuesday's market, has pre-
vailed in the cloth halls this morning, and purchases have
been made on a small scale. The attendance of merchants
was not numerous, and the improved feeling manifested on
Saturday appears to have subsided.
HUDDERSFIELD, MAY 19.
Trade here continues without improvement. Purchases
are made with much caution, and to a very limited extent.
A quiet aspect prevails in all departments of the cloth
business, there being no desire to speculate and an entire
absence of animation. Within the last few days Messrs.
Hastings Brothers have suspended payment, their liabili-
ties being about 11,0001. This morning the stoppage of
Mr. Walter Lodge has been announced. Some few months
ago Mr. Lodge was made bankrupt, but the bankruptcy
was afterwards annulled.
