STATE OF TRADE.
(From the ALinches:er Guardian of this day.)
MANCHESTER, TLIESDLY.—AIthough only a limited
amount of business has been- transacted in yarns to-
day, it is sufficient to show that prices have a decidedly
upward tendency. For almost every description, and
more especiAlv low to medium qualities, prices
have been paid that were not obtainable last week.
Anything on hand, or that can be delivered in a
week or two, suitable for India, have been
bought up at a slight advance upon last week's
prices. 20's and 30's water twist are in improved
demand for Germany, and higher prices are being
paid. Our home manufacturers are purchasing to
supply their immediate wants only, and grumble
much at the prices they have to pay, as they are
unable to get an equivalent advance for their mann-
f ictured goods. The cloth market remains in a quiet
state, if we except low 26-in. printing cloths, both
plain and twilled, which we noticed in our last as
being in good demand by the Greek merchants on
receipts of their letters on Friday. They soon
bought up all the stocks of plain cloth
we' ghing from 31bs. to 31bs. Boz , and
everything in twills below 41b., and have en-
gaged production for the next month, in many
cases at an advance of 3d. per piece upon last Friday's
prices. There is a good inquiry to-day after India
qualities, but as yet not much doing. Our home
trade houses still continue to buy very sparingly, but
we have no doubt that a continuance of such wea-
ther as .we have had to-day would soon bring about
a very satisfactory change in their operations. Alto-
gether, from the very firm tone of our market, and
the unusually small stocks on hand of both cloth and
yarn, we may reasonably expect a steady improve-
ment after the holidays. _ _

ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—The prevailing tone of the
market to-day has been dulness, and little or no desire
on the part of the merchants to purchase. In the
wool market prices remain the same as last week, with
no inclination by the manufacturers to purchase more
than they require for immediate use.
MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY.—There is less activity
to be noticed amongst manufacturers in the hand-
kerchief department than for some time past. On
the other hand, those houses engaged in the piece
trade are tolerably busy, with orders on hand for
some weeks to come. The thrown silk market remains
in an unsatisfactory position, but should the silk crop
on the continent turn out a short one, as is generally
reported, it will, no doubt, diminish the shipments of
foreign thrown silk to this country, and thereby assist
the throwsters here. In the raw silk market the
principal transactions of the week have been in China
silks. Prices as before.

HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.—Owing to the con-
tinued inclemency of the weather, we have had
(although perhaps rather more brisk than last week)
another dull market ; still the mills are, for the most.
part, running full time. Prices, of course, continue
low.

HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—The attendance in our
Piece Hall to-day has been slacker than usual, and
the worsted trade is, in general, somewhat flatter,
bat prices remain unaltered. There is rather more
doing in yarn, at late rates. For the finer descrip-
tions of long wool there is a little more inquiry, and
the staplers seem to bold their stocks with more con-
fidence. Short wools are firmer, but not much doing
in them.

LEEDS, TUESDAY.--The markets have been rather
dull since our last report. The manufacturers, how-
ever, are well employed by direct orders. Prices
continue without alteration, and stocks low.

Speaking without thinking is shooting without
taking aim.— Eliza Cook's Journal.
