STATE OF TRADE_
(From the itianchester Getz/dicta of this day.)
MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—Tne ad vices received
by the America state that improved accounts from
Liverpool and Manchester had given rather more life
to a previously quiet market at New York. They
also speak as unfavourably of the growing crop as did
the last reports. Lflaeneed by these statements, the
Liverpool market opened briskly yesterday morning,
with the requirement of an additional id. per
lb; but as the holders showed a disposition
to be realising, a tameness ensued, and Jfully one-
half of the attempted gain was lost. But the ten-
dency of the raw material to rise in some degree has
helped to bring forward again some of the buyers of
export yarns, who were already prepared to operate
from the actual want of supplies for their customers.
Large orders have been received from the European
continent, and the merchants have effected a fair
amount of purchases. The India houses have also
bought with some freedom in various numbers up to
60's, to which they have been encouraged by the im-
provement which is going in those articles at Calcutta.
The consequence is a rise of id. per lb. in bundles of
almost all qualities, whether mulp or water, and in
some kinds F'. The home comumers of low and
medium counts, having a bad trade for their fabrics,
are working up their stocks, at.d making only few
and trifling purchases. The value of the yarns they
use is, however, firmly maintained. Doubled yarns
continue dull; and the finer counts of single have
not been much called for, either by our own
ntractsmanu-
facturers, or by the Russian buyers, whose term of

partment of goods there has been no response to
; but the spinners
the movement in cotton and yarns. The home
buyers want confdence to operate; and the mer-
chants .receive discouraging accounts from most
foreign markets. The letters which came to hand
last night, from Calcutta, exhibit a serious loss upon
shirtings and most other cloths. The Brazilian
markets continue depressed ;. and the malignant
fever was re-appearing in Bahia and Rio
de Janeiro. At Constantinople an unfavour-
able effect was produced upon prices by the
report of a decline in Manchester ; and there
were but few orders reaching the market froin'the in-
terior. With such advices, these several classes of
buyers have stood decidedly aloof from business to-
day ; and, as-stocks have -ndw-rather accumulated in
the hands of the manufacturers, ' some degree of
weakness, and a:great deal of irregularity, have shown
themselves in prices. We understand that the stop •
page of looms, or the placing them on short time, is
now extending in varions districts; and the state of
this ;day's market must cause a further adoption of
that measure. We do not hear of the return to work
of any of the self-acting spinners.
ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—We have had considerable
activity in the flannel market again to-day, and a
fair business at former, prices. There has been a
rather better demand for wool, and the manufactu-
rers have shown a greater disposition to buy than on
the previous Monday. Prices are firm.

MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAI.-11e1; is evidently
more doing this week, but our manufacturers still
complain of unremunerating prices. In thrown silk
there is also a good deal doing, but at prices inade-
quate to the present price of raws ; the mills, how-
ever, are working full time, in consequence, we
presume, of orders for thrown silk from the conti-
nent being still on hand. There has again been a
large business done in raws this week, at full prices,
and we understand some of the merchants are now hold •
ing for higher rates. The overland dispatches from
India and China are now in, and fully confirm the
accounts of short crop in the latter country, which is
now declared will not be more than that of last sea-
son, viz., a deficiency of one•fourth as compared with
former seasons ; but this scarcity may in some mea-
sure be counteracted through a considerable quantity
having been sent by the overland route, and conse-
quently will arrive here two or three months earlier
than by ship. By these means we shall have more
raw silk on our markets here for a time, and less on
the way.
HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.—Our market conti-
nues to be pretty brisk, though the amount of goods
that have changed hands has not been so large as the
previous weeks. Several foreign buyers are in town,
and have been during the week, but seem to be with-
holding their orders, in the hopes of buying job
stocks, although there has been an advance in the
wool market.

HALIFAX SATURDAY,--There were but few mer-
chants in the Piece-hall to-day, and the inquiry for
goods is not so bridi as it has been, but there is a
