STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian of this day.)
MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—We have to report another
inanimate day in yarns. Although the advices by the
overland mail show the Bombay and Calcutta markets
to be in a healthy position as regards the supply and
the demand for most kinds of twist, yet the merchants
find no inducement, in the attainable prices, to add
much, at the present cost, to the shipments already on
the way. Tho German and Mediterranean buyers
have operated only to a limited extent, still they have
done more, on the whole, tbau they did last Tuesday.
The home manufacturers finding, in the demand for
goods, no encouragement to increase their present
considerable supplies, at least the medium numbers
of twist and weft, have given out very few orders.
Iu the various articles referred to, whether for ex-
portation or for home use, there prevails, however, a
general steadiness of price; the buyers meeting with no
more than such a trifling advantage as the difference
betwixt an active and a quiet market may, here and
there, throw in their way, at a time when producers
are remarkably free from stocks, and, there-
fore not particularly anxious to sell. As re-
gards
the better qualities of yarn, say from Nos. 60's,
upwards, we continue to have, in addition to a good
home consumption, an improved demand, at still harden•
ing prices, on Russian account. In the department of
goods, we have to notice the continuance of that
course of improvement in fustians and domestics which
we have latterly had to record. Printing cloths are
pretty steady in value, though less actively called for
than they were a short time since. But the dulness
in 40-inch shirtings, has been rather aggravated by the
eastern intelligence, from which it appears that an ex-
cess of supply is weighing upon prices; and there ap-
pears to be but little encouragement to send out other
descriptions of cloth under existing circumstances.
HOCIIDLLE, MONDAY.—We have bad a fair average
business doing in the flannel market today, at prices
much the same as those of last Monday. The wool
market has been rather quiet, with no change in prices.
MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY.—There is no new feature
noticeable in the manufacturing trade of this town.
A few buyers have visited us during the week, but
only a limited business has been dune. Trade gene-
rally is dull, and many weavers are waiting for work.
We observed, on a former occasion, the bad effects
of preparing goods, not for a legitimate demand
of trade, but simply for consignments to agents fur ad-
vances. This system of business h.s been pursued by
sonic of the small houses which have lately failed
to a considerable extent; and the frightful sacrifices
made to effect sales to cover advances, some of
which have been brought to light by the recent expo-
sures in the Court of Bankruptcy, show at once the
disastrous competition to which the honest trader has
been subjected. There is fair inquiry for thrown bilk;
but prices do not yet harmonise with those of the raw
material. There has been considerable business done in
China silks during the last week; about 1,200 bales are
reported sold, in some cases at slightly improved rates.
HUDDERCFIELD, TUESDAY.—The market here is still
flatter thau last week's. There has been less doing in
each branch of manufacture than before. The wool
market is also flit, on account of the present London sales.
HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—The worsted trade remains
in pretty much the same state as reported in our last;
and, with respect to yarn, the demand continues good,
at improving prices. There is a little more activity in
the wool market, and the quotations are rather looking
upward.
LEEDS, TUESDAY.—Since cur last report. we have
had a good market at the Cloth Halls, and also a large
quantity of goods have been delivered direct to the ware-
houses. Makers keep their stocks very low, and there is
no change in prices. There is also a good business
doing in the warehouses for the home trade, and the
shipping houses continue busy.
