STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian of this day.)
MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—In 30's, 40's, and 50's
mule twist, suitable for Indian consumption, the
market is very steady, prices being well sus-
tained by the adequacy of the demand to take up
the production, as it becomes disengaged. But the
continental merchants are at least as much indis-
posed for business as they were last week. The
letters received to-day, from Germany, show that,
although stocks are exceedingly moderate, there
is yet a sufficient supply, below the cost of what
might now be imported, to prevent the giving of fur-
ther orders, of any magnitude, in the present unsettled
condition of the Manchester market. The conse-
quence is, that we have had a very dull day in reeled
water twist ; and, though there is little alteration
in the quotations, still the buyers are able to
make their limited purchases, for assortment,
on slightly lower terms, than they could have done a
week ago. The turn of prices in warps and cops, of
medium counts, for home consumption, is also some-
what in favour of the buyers, who, however, are but
little inclined to operate. It is found, however, that the
diminished production of low numbers for home manu-
factures: has imparted to them a degree of firmness
not oissrvable some few days back. The fall in prices
has led to a somewhat increased call for printing
cloths, for 40-inch shirtings above the lower reeds,
sad also for 34 and 3G-inch shirtings. Long cloths,
T cloths, and domestics, however, continue to be neg-
lected. The lessened production of these articles
has not, as yet, in any degree stimulated demand.
Altogether, the transactions of the day have been on
a very restricted scale ; and a good deal of irregu -
larity has been experienced in prices.
ROCIIDALE, MONDAY.—We have had a rather quiet
market to-day in flannels, with little or no change in
prices. In the wool market there has been little
doing, and prices have been stationary.
MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY.—We have no alteration
to notice in the market since our last. Manufacturers
continue to effect sales of goods freely, but there is
some little complaint of prices not being up to the
mark, as compared with the raw material. Old
stocks are fast working out; and higher prices will
have to be paid, or production will have to be lessened.
This applies also to the thrown silk trade. The
brt,kers' circulars, just issued, all concur in prices
being very firm for good and useful silks.
HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.—Our market has been
brisker than ever, the stock continuing low, and
being in fact at present lower than ever before known.
The Cloth Hall looks quite deserted, and the manu-
facturers are working for orders only.
HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—Everything remains pretty
much in the quiet condition noted in our last report,
which might, with truth, he repeated, word for word,
as respects this day's business in the Piece Hall,
and also as respects both the yarn and the wool
markets.

LEEDS, TUESDAY.—There has not been much done
in the market to-day, and the cloth trade generally is
not quite so brisk, buyers not being disposed to give
the advanced prices asked. There is a fair business
doing in the warehouses, chiefly by shippers.
