STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, FEB. 13.
Spinners are again more difficult to deal with, in conse.
quence of cotton being dearer, and prices are aainst the
i
buyer. Good Orleans and Upland cotton are d. per lb.
dearer than this day week, and spinners are endeavouring
to get a proportionate advance. In finer yarns values have
advanced more considerably, and buyers whose orders bear
date only a few days back have been disappointed, except
in cases where they have given a fair margin of discretion
to their agents. The yarn market generally displays rather
more animation than for some weeks past, but the aggre-
gate transactions have net been important in amount. The
spinners of coarse numbers are at great disadvantage in the
present state of the cotton market, and are resorting, in
many instances, to short time. In cloths there has been
rather more business in fabrics for the Levant, but with
this exception buyers have operated with great caution.
