STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian.)

MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—We have to report another
inanimate day in yarns. Although the advises by the
overland mail show the Bombay and Calcutta markets
to be in a healthy position as regards the supply and
the demand for most kinds of twist, yet the merchant.
find no inducement, in the attainable prices, to add
much, at the present cost, to the shipments already on
the way. The German and Mediterranean buyers
have operated only to a limited extent, still they have
done more, on the whole, than they did last Tuesday.
The home manufacturers finding, in the demand for
goods, no encouragement to increase their present
considerable surplies' at least the medium numbers
of twist and weft, have given out very few orders.
In the various articles referred to, whether for ex-
portation or for home use, there prevails, however, a
general steadiness of price; the buyers meeting with no
more than such a trifling advantage as the difference
betwixt an active and a quiet market may, here and
there, throw in their way, at a time when producers
aro remarkably free from stocks, and, there-
fore not particularly anxious to sell. As re-
gards the better qualities of yarn, say from Nos. 60's,
upwards, we continue to have, in addition to a good
home consumption, an improved demand, at still harden•
ing prices, on Russian account. In the department of
goods, we have to notice the continuance of that
course of improvement in fustians and domestics which
we have latterly had to record. Printing cloths are
pretty steady in value, though less actively called for
than they were a short time since. But the dulness
in 40-inch shirtings, has been rather aggravated by the
eastern intelligence, from which it appears that an ex-
cess of supply is weighing upon prices; and there ap-
pears to be but little encouragement to send out other
descriptions of cloth under existing circumstances.
ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—We have had a fair average
business doing in the flannel market today, at prices
much the same as those of last Monday. The wool
market has been rather quiet, with no change in prices.
MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY.—There is no new feature
noticeable in the manufacturing trade of this town.
A few buyers have visited us during the week, but
only a limited business has been done. Trade gene-
rally is dull, and many weavers are waiting for work.
We observed, on a former occasion, the bad effects
of preparing goods, not for a legitimate demand
of trade, but simply for consignments to agents for ad-
vances. This system of business has been pursued by
some of the small houses which have lately failed
to a considerable extent; and the frightful sacrifices
made to effect sales to cover advances, some of
which have been brought to light by the recent expo-
sures in the Court of Bankruptcy, show at once the
disastrous competition to which the honest trader has
been subjected. There is fair inquiry for thrown silk;
but prices do not yet harmonise with those of the raw
material. There has been considerable business done in
China silks during the last week; about 1,200 bales are
reported sold, in some cases at slightly improved rates.
HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.—The market here is still
flatter than last week's. There has been leas doing in
each branch of manufacture than before. The wool
market is also flat., on account of the present London sales.

HALIFAX, SATIIRDAY.—The worsted trade remains
in pretty much the same state as reported in our last;
and, with respect to yarn, the demand continues good,
at improving prices. There is a little more activity in
the wool market, and the quotations are rather looking
upward.
LEEDS, TUESDAY.—SiTICO our last report, we have
had a good market at the Cloth Halls, and also a large
quantity of goods have been delivered direct to the ware.
houses. Makers keep their stocks very low, and there is
no change in prices. There is also a good business
doing in the warehouses for the home trade, and the
shipping houses continue busy.

TUE GREAT CENTRAL GAS COMPANY.—CITY
COURT OF SEWERS.—On Tuesday the Commissioners assem-
bled at the Guildhall; Mr. Deputy Peacock in the chair.
The principal business stated in the summons was "to con-
sider a motion of which notice had been given by Mr.
Deputy Harrison, that permission be given to the Great
Central Gas Consumers' Company to lay down their mains
and pipes in the streets to be repaved immediately before the
repavement takes place." A great deal of interest was ex-
cited by the proceedings, and, after much discussion, the
question, was put, and only three hands being held up
against the motion to give the company permission to lay
down the mains and pipes in the secondary streets of the City
in the day-time, the Chairman declared the proposition car-
ried. The surveyor was then instructed to take the neces-
sary steps for ascertaining that the public ways are properly
opened, and duly repaired afterwards, in accordance with
the terms of the contract between the company and the
commissioners. The works arc to commence upon the most
extensive scale immediately, and the workmen are to be em-
ployed day and night until the whole of the mains and pipes
are laid down.

CONVICT ESTABLISHMENT AT DARTMOOR.--We
last week stated that Colonel Jebb, the Inspector-General of
Prisons, accompanied by Captain Groves, inspected the Dart •
moor Prisons, which have remained useless since they were
employed for the skeitinernent of prisoners in tbl4.
understand these gentlemen have most favourably recom-
mended these prisons as a place of confinement for convicts,
and that preparations for the reception of 500 are to be
forthwith. made. This opinion was the more readily adopted.
in consequence of the result of an Interview which Colonel
Jebb had, at the request of Sir George Grey, with Mr.
Fowler, who carries on extensive, and, it is said, profitable
farming operations on Dartmoor. It is intended that the
convicts shall be employed in agricultural labour. About
one moiety of the prisons will be required; the other half is
in the occupation of a local naptha company. who have re-
cently sold their interest to the Messrs. Hill,- of Deptford,
large manufacturers of naptha, who will keep the works at
Prince Town in full opersttion.—Devonport Independent.
