STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Gual dian of this day.)
MANC3ESTER, TUESDAY.—A cessation of business
for four or five weeks (with the exception of such
small purchases as were unavoidable) had latterly so
reduced the stocks of yarn in the hands of the home
consumers and the foreign buyers, as to produce
among them that sort of uneasiness lest the advantage
of lower prices should be let slip, which rendered a
renewal of operations, within a short time, a matter
of pretty great certainty. Towards the latter end of
last week, there were indications of our near ap-
proach to the turning point, to which we have been
brought somewhat sharply toeday by the effect,
on the Liverpool market, of the Europa s advices of
storms destructive to the cotton plant in some part of
the states. A good deal of excitement has prevailed,
and very extensive transactions would have taken
place, at something like the rates of last week, but
spinners have stood out for an advance of id. to id.
generally upon bundles, ss hether mule or water.
The manufacturers have supplied themselves to
a moderate amount ; and some of the ship-
pers have bought with considerable freedom—
in a few instances clearing out rather large
parcels. As might be expected, much irregu-
larity has shown itself amongst sellers, some of whom
have raised their quotation in a greater, others in a
lesser, degree than we have stated above. In the
department of goods there has not been equal anima-
tion. Manufacturers will not sell on last week's
terms ; there is, however, a hanging back on the side
of buyers, which is partly attributable to their having
operated rather freely, at lower prices, a few days ago.
ROCEIDALE, MONDAY.—The manufacturers have
had another brisk demand for flannels to-day, at
prices much the same as those of the preceding week.
For wool, there has keen a very limited demand, and
the manufacturers prefer working up the stocks they
have on hand which have been laid in at lower rates
than they can purchase at present.
MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY.—OLIT manufacturers
continue more actively employed; the prospects of a
batter demand inducing them to produce more
gouda than they have latterly Leen doing. A good
i rquiry generally exists for thrown- silks of useful
descriptions; and a fair quantity has changed hands
during the last week. There are also orders again in
the market for the continent, which contribute to
keep the mills at full work. In the raw silk market
there has been current business at full prices; some
of the merchants are still looking_ for higher rates.
HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.—We have had equally
as good a market to-day as last week, though not
quite so much has been done in the hall-, although
.the demand has been brisker ; but the wool market
having advanced, the manufacturers are holding back
for an advance, not knowing whether they can supply
at the price. The trade of the week has been very
good ; several American buyer& having been in town.
HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—There is no noticeable
change in the worsted trade, either as regards de-
mand Or prices. Neither can we report any altera-
tion in the state of the yarn market. The spinners
are fully employed, and the quotations continue firm.
The sales of wool are moderate, and late rates are
rather stiffly maintained.

LEEDS, TuEsDAY.—The market has been quiet to.
day ; but, on Saturday last, a fair business was trans.
acted. Large deliw.ries are still being made to order,
and business is good in the warehouses.
