STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian.)
MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—The favourable indica-
tions which we noticed in our markets at the close of
last week have become further developed to-day, and in
a degree which is very satisfactory for the middle of
December. There is a marked increase of firmness,
even in yarns strictly adapted for Germany, which
the producers will not sell on terms they would
mostly have accepted last week; and the merchants,
who have improved advices from the other side,
are more inclined to purchase than they were,
though still acting with great caution and within
narrow limits. India counts and qualities are in-
quired after, and very scarce. For the Mediterranean
and the Levant, there is a fair demand. But the
home consumers are the most active purchasers ; and
the business of the day with them is considerable.
In general yarns may be considered fd. to id. higher
than they were last week. In goods, there is a steady
trade; some descriptions going off readily, with a
hardening tendency in prices, and all are at least firm.
The quotations for 40-inch shirtings, which are
mostly engaged, show an advance of lfd. to 3d. per
piece. The market is remarkably bare of stuck, both
in yarns and goods ; and a tone of confidence pre-
vails throughout.
ROCEIDALE, MONDAT.—We have had a rather
better demand for kerseys and coarse goods, but there
has been less business doing in flannels. There has
been rather more activity in the wool market, with
little or no variation from the prices of the preceding
week.

MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY.—We are happy to be
able to report a better feeling amongst the manufac-
turers than has been apparent for some time past.
Preparations are making with more spirit for the
spring trade, and the weavers are feeling the benefit
of more work being given out at the warehouses.
The dyers in many instances are full of orders.
There is decidedly more inquiry for thrown silks ;
some large parcels have disappeared from the market
during the past week. We think when old stocks are
worked off prices must advance in this article, as raw
silks maintain their firm position; and a considerable
business has been transacted during the past week, at
very full prices.
