STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian.)
There was a fair demand for yarn yesterday, at
steady prices ; but the amount of business done Was
limited by the extent to which the spinners of counts
suitable to the Russian market are now under con-

tract. The present state of the yarn market is, in-
deed, very fortunate for those parties whose spinners
are at work, but whose looms are standing; for they
are generally enabled to dispose of their produce on
tolerably satisfactory terms, and, to a great extent, ill
the state in which they can most conveniently deliver
them to the merchants—namely, in the shape cf warps
and weft. For some time past, the export of warps►
in lieu of reeled yarn, has been upon the increase; and
we understand that, during the present year, that in'
crease had, been so rapid as to attract the attention of
the deputies of the Prussian League, who have dis-
cussed the propriety of imposing an additional duty
upon yarn in that shape. Of weft, too, in the form
of " pincops," there has been, and still is, a consi-
derable export to Germany ; owing, we believe, in ll'
great degree, to the excessive drought by which Ger-
many has been visited during the present summer,
and which has greatly impeded the working of the
mills moved by water. Owing to this demand, and
the recent general stoppage of the factories, -mule
yarn would have been decidedly scarce at the prOseot
time, had it not been for the additional quantity
thrown upon the market by the stoppage of the -
power-looms. Water twist is, however, more plentiful
in the market, and rather more difficult of sale than
for two or three weeks previously. With respect to
goods there is no material change in the market ; the
buyers generally holding off as much- as possible,
until the weavers are at work. In one or two descriP'
tion of goods, and particularly in long cloths,
suitable for the Levant trade, there was a rather,
better demand yesterday, and at slightly imprm recl,
prices ; but most other kinds were rather flatter, ai tar
in some few cases, a slight decline was submitted .to
by parties desirous of making sales. On the whole, •
however, the market was quiet. We regret to till;
nounce the failure of Mr. Richard Roberts, one 0,1
the Directors of the Bank of Manchester, who stopped
payment on Saturday last. This failure, howeveri
was too generally expected to produce any matc;riol
effect upon the market.

prices. The wool market still remains dull; and the
increased demand for goods has not had any effect rP.
