STATE OF TRADE.

(From the Manchester Guardian of yesterday;) d
There is not much change in the market as compere
with last week ; but, upon the whole, prices are firmer'
and the appearance of business is somewhat more fasutirf;
able. Yarns suitable for. Germany and _Russia are !„
good demand, and some descriptions, particularly 11.:
water-twist, are exceedingly scarce, and advancing P.
price. Goods, with the exception of 40-inch shirting*
are also in fair demand, and prices are very firm.
ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, JULY 8.
The demand for flannels, especially of the lower sorts.'
has been good. On the whole, it has been quite an
average day for business. The wool market has be%
rather flat; the prices being too high to remunerate to,
