STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian of this day.)
MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—A very quiet market
was generally expected this morning, under the com-
bined influence of advices showing a further slight
decline in the value of cotton at New York, and a
flat and drooping market for piece goods at Calcutta ;
and some of the buyers anticipated a small advan-
tage on their side, in bargaining for yarns or goods.
On the whole, the market has certainly not
exhibited the animation which prevailed before the
receipt of the accounts alluded to ; and the day's
transactions have been considerably restricted. Natu-
rally enough, there has been, on one side, a little
more of hesitation about paying the extreme rates of
last week; and, perhaps, on the other, somewhat less
of indifference to sell upon those terms. But this is the
full extent of the effect produced ; indeed, some arti-
cles are still acquiring additional value. Spinners
have shown themselves particularly firm ; and their sales
for home use, and for shipment to Germany, Russia,
and the Mediterranean, have reached a- fair aggre-
gate amount. The finer counts, both single and dou-
bled, are still hardening in price. As regards goods,
we cannot report much progress in selling ; but the
manufacturers are not disposed to make any conces-
sion to their customers. The India merchants hive
been rendered less inclined to operate than before by
the accounts they have just received. We learn,
however, from an eminent merchant, that the South
American markets are becoming rather more favour-
ably circumstanced for business in our fabrics.
ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—There has been a brisk de-
mand for flannels to-day, and the manufacturers have
asked rather more for their pieces, in order to meet
the late advanced price of the raw material. The
wool market is steady, and prices are firm.
HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.—There is a visible im-
provement in our market to-day, in the Cloth-hall.
Low goods have been in request, and have met with
ready purchasers. The trade of the week has been
good ; in fact, an improvement on last week's. The
wool market is about the same as last week's. Co-
lonial wools are in rather more request than before.
HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—AIthough there were more
lookers, on than purchasers in our Piece-hall to-day,
yet a tolerably steady business is doing in some de-
scriptions of worsted goods. The advance in cotton,
however, has considerably affected those fabrics which
are partly made of that material, checking both the de-
mand and the production. The spinners are still very
busily employed ; and, where orders for yarn must be
given out, the late advance is fully conceded. The
wool trade is rather quieter in the country, as the
farmers are beginning to see the folly of their extra.
vagant expectations. The stocks in the hands of the
staplers here are large, and the consumers are very
unwilling to purchase at the high quotations de-
manded.

LEEDS, TUESDAY.—There is no new feature to
notice to-day in the cloth trade. Since last weeli, a
very good business continues to be done. Al de-
scriptions of goods are eagerly purchased at the halls.
Stocks are very low, and business is very brisk in
the warehouses.
