STATE OF TRADE.

There is no change in our market since last week: ;
the same depression, and the same gradual and progros
sive reduction of prices still continuing, as the excess of
suply over,demand, and the necessities of the spinners
and manufacturers, place the control of the market almost
entirely in the hands of purchasers. With the exception
of good qualitities of twist, suitable.to the Russian mar-
ket, which are at present in fair demand, almost every
article of yarn or manufactured goods is rather worse '
to sell than last week ; and we think that parties, who
attended the market yesterday, must have rerad with
some astonishment the accounts of improvement itt
the condition of the trade, which have recently
peared in some of the newspapers, both local and -
metropolitan. Those accounts, we are sorry to ;gay,'
have no better foundation than the wishes of the p.sr'
ties with whom they originated ; for at no period wt re
general prices so low as yesterday ; and, with the e:
eeption of the descriptions of yarn above alluded to, se.
dom has there been greater difficulty in making sales t (7,
any considerable amount. We regret to learn that timer !'
have been two failures, of some magnitude, in the wool. '
len cloth trade at Leeds ; but they do not affect this dis'
trict in any material degree.
ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MAY 2.—There ha #
been a better feeling manifested in the market to-day
and more inquiry for goods. Considerably more piece -
have been sold, but at extremely low prices. The ii t
creased sales may be partly accounted Rr by the ne: is
approach of the 14th of May, which is a general ren
day in Rochdale; and it is well known by the merchants
thut many of the small makers are under the necessia;
of selling on that account. The wool market has bee
quite as flat as usual, and prices looking down.
HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, MAY 3.—This market vir
much the same to-day as last week. • Perhaps there vi
a better. demand for light summer moods for the Ist3"
trade ; but generally there was little done; "nor -1,r9
there any improvement in wools. Prices are In
fc",..
ii to nal. In the warehouses business is flat. le s bOt
at this season, business on the whole was never km toWn,
to be worse ; and week after week records fresh fai Ore"
amongst the manufacturers.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]-01.11- readers' attention is di-
rected to the following communication (translatod frail
the German), addressed to Messrs. Rowlands' Agent et
Cologne :—" 13, Streitz-eu,,,,ass?, Cologne, May 23'
1841.—T0 Th. S. Ditges.—Sir,—l have much pleasure
in informing you of the extraordinary effects of " Roo"
land's Macassar Oil :" for above nine years I had not 41'
particle of hair on my head, when I eras casually recora-
mended to give this celebrated Oil a trial. I accordingli
purchased two bottles at your establishment, and strictly
followed the printed directions : in the course of two
months my head was covered with fine short hair,
I had cut off, and continued to persevere in the use °
the Oil. The result is, that after five months? perse-
verance, I can now boast of as good a head of hair se
any man in this city. In justice to the inventors I uleiff
a 1" nd shall feel greet pleasure .
this acknowledgment,
satisfyinc, any inquiry.—l salute u with reil)°q;
ADAM BAUER, Bth Artillery Brigade."—" Boylan,—
Macassar Oil" prevents hair from falling off, or turninggrey ; changes grey hair to its original colour ; free'
from scurf and dandriff, and makes it beautifully 9°'
and curly.—Ask for " ltowland's Macassar Oil.'
