STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, Nov. I.—lf any alteration must be noticed
in our staple market, it is that more business has been dons
generally where parties would give way in price ; and we
learn that yarns have receded in value id. per lb. Our
cloth market may be said also to have a downward tendency,
and power-loom printers are full 3d. per piece lower from the
highest point. Domestic cloth is equally flat, unless thn
manufacturers will give way in price, which many have been
forced to do to effect sales. November is the month that
merchants and printers commence operations for the spring.
and may make contracts for two or three months; stocks
being unusually light we do not anticipate any very
material change in prices. The country houses are, as usuit
at this season, very flat, but still better than they were last
v‘eek. 27-inch 60's, 4s. 41d. to 4s. 71d.; 66's, 4s. lOid. to
ss. 3d.; and 72's, ss. 9d. to 68. lid. 40-inches are still
scarce, and 60's are selling from Bs. 9d. to 9s. 3d. ; Ws.
9s. 7id. to 10s.

Libass, Nov. I.—Our markets at the cloth halls have been.
dull both on Saturday and Tuesday; the latter in particular
was one of the dullest of the year. The stocks on hand arts
low for the season, and as the manufacturers are producing
less than for some time past, there is little probability of
heavy stocks of winter goods being left over the season.
Prices are without any alteration. There has been rather less
done in the warehouses this week than of late; on the whole.
however, there is about the same amount of business doing as
is usual at this late period of the year.
BRADFORD, Ocr. 30.—Transactions in wool are not exten-
sive, and the difficulty of purchasing from the grower is in
nowise lessened. The gradual every day's consumption has:
diminished stocks in this market, which are not so abundant:
as a few weeks ago, except in low wools, a description that
is not at present much inquired for. We continue to receives
most discouraging accounts of the condition of the yarn trade,
which is described both by anonymous correspondents as well.
as by the parties who supply us with regular information.
as being worse than was ever before the case in the remem-
brance of the oldest houses in the trade. The disposition tta
run short time is becoming general, and we are sorry to sets
large numbers of operatives in the streets out of employ.
The piece trade partakes likewise of the general flatness ; but
as manufacturers prudently abstain from increasing the stock
of goods, prices remain stationary, and it is hoped will con.
tinue to do so.
liunDEnsrinen, Ocr. 28.—We have been unable to give
so favourable an account of the state of this market during.
the past mouth as at any previous time since the commence-
ment of the year. Although there is a tolerably steady &-
mend both for the home trade and for exportation, there ap-
pears to be less confidence of its stability than has hitherto
existed amongst commercial men. The month has net
closed with a market equal to an average of its first three
weeks.
liauFax, Nov. I.—The market, in all its branches, is dull.
especially as regards wool, several kinds of which are a shades
lower.
LEEDS WOOL TRADE, OCT. 31.--English—This has
been a quiet week as to sales of wool. There is not any
alteration in the quotations of prices. Foreign—The trans.
actions of the past week have been mainly to supply the im-
mediate wants of the manufacturers, and not very extensive
in amount. Prices, however, remain steady.

DREADFUL MINE ACCIDENT.—OR Tuesday last
a very serious accident, which it is feared will terminate
fatally, occurred to a man named Daniel Simcox, who is ea.,
gaged as a puddler at Mr. Russell's `voiles, near Wednesbuiy.
lt appears that Simcox had been drinking rather frkeT
during the whole of the night, and about three o'clock ilex c
morning he purchased a bottle of ale for the purpose o.
taking to his son-in-law, who worked in one of Mr. Bagiti:)a
pits. On arriving at the mouth of the pit there WAS no Will
attending the machinery, and being rendered reckless by the
drink he had taken, he deliberately tied the bottle to his
coat, and seizing the rope, swung himself off the side of the
opening, in order to let himself down. He, however, mis-
calculated his ability to accomplish this dangerous exploit ;
for the friction of the rope, occasioned by his rapid descent.
became so great, that when three parts of the way down, hie
was forced to let go his hold, and his foot at the same moment:
catching in a hook attached to the rope, he tumbled over.
and was precipitated with great violence to the bottom of the
pit. When taken up he was found to be quite imensible,anit

and offered at 36s per cwt for the best.
MAnnws.—An increased desire has been manifested to
purchase, and for all descriptions there has been a very good
demand for the scale and pan; the rates given are fully equal
to those previously quoted, ad merchants refrain from largely
supplying the market, although the stuck still exhibits an
increase over that of last year.
FOREIGN.—This afternoon there was no public sale of
Foreign, and the private sales for the week are 40 chests of
very tine yellow Havannah at 31s, and 70 chests of middling
white Rana at 275 per cwt.

viz., 3,161 bags at full rates.
iMOLASSES.—For West India the demand has been brisk
and siffer rates have been paid for all descriptions. The
total purchases amount to 600 puns.
TEA.—There has been more activity in the market this
week. Holders have shown firmness, and refrained from
offering any at public sale. Prices are firmer for black, but
any improvemens in the value of Green is prevented by the
heavy steck. Congou has been sold to a large ex-
tent, and at prices which show a small advance
on those of the last auctions. Pouchong has been pur-
chased with increased freedom, anti stiffer prices given ; at
id to 10d for low to good quality' but chiefly at 6d- to 8d for
clean. 'l'wankay is wanted, and bring full prices. Although
Gunpowder may be purchased at comparatively low rates, still
few buyers are met with. Imperial met with little attentions

at rno:lcrate rates. In Young Ilyson sales to a fair extent
have been made upon farmer terms. Scented Orange Pekoe

all sold at an advance on former rates of 6d to is per cwt.
For Singapore Java the demand was limited, and 578 bags
at uctiun were taken in at 37s for good ordinary pale rather
n;xed with blacks, being above the value. Of Costa Rica
Ithe large quantity of 5,018 bags were offered at public sale;
the sound was nearly all taken in at stiff rates.
COCOA.—IIIIpOrterS of Briti'h Plantation submitting to
rather lower rates caused the trade to operate more freel, and

of Pam is declared for Tuesday. On Wednesday 400 bags
of Teinidad will be offered.

vanced rates being asked checked business, and 1,400 bags
at public sale were nearly all taken in good white at
22s 6d, good cuddling 21s 6d, being rather above the value.

high rate of duty.
Cum...mom—The good and fine desaiutions of Ceylon

TR

were in excellent demand at the quarterly sales, and the
quantity erought forwardbeing small merchantswereenabled
aenerally to obtain an advance on the rates of the last
auction of Id to 3d per ih, inferior kinds of which the
supply was abundant were, hnwever, purchased
with much caution; although there were sellers at reduced
rates—say 3d to 6d under those of the last quarterly sales—
indeed, the low and jungle descriptions were almost entirely
neglected, although offered at extreme low rates. The de
mend for common Cinnamon was duller than has been the
case for many years ; the supply being greater and prices
lower.
FRUIT.—Of new Chesme Raisins, the first cargo arrived
there is no disposition to purchase, the prices required being
considered too high in proportion to the value of new Valen-
cies, the best parcels being sold at 40s, and a great propor-
tion already arrived being much out of condition, have been
forced off at public sale from 38s to 395. Of new Patras Cur-
rants two cargoes have arrived, and are in the market at 50s,
but the grocers purchase very cautiously, expecting large
arrivals.
Srntrrs.—There has been less demand for Jamaica Rum
this week, but holders are firm and have obtained fully pre-
vious rates, and the quantity on show has become small.
Leeward Island is much in demand, and owing to the short
supply fetched stiff rates. In Demerara a fair amount of busi-
ness has been transacted at 2s 10d to 3s 3d for strong
qualities. Calcutta is wanted at Is lld to 2s proof
with certificate, but the market is still scantily supplied
The market has a firm appearance for Brandy, and
a fair demand exists, the accounts come to hand from
France, state that the quantity made this yearwonld be much
under that of farmer seasons,and the quality very indifferent.
Geneva has been sold to a fair extent for exportation at 2s 2d
to 2s 3d, and fine for home consumption being 2s 7d to 2s 10d.
The market is very firm for B:ii ish Corn Spirits at 103 6d
per gallon nett cash. Gin at 8s 10d for 22, and at 9s 4d for
17 per cent under proof.
INDIGO.—The purchases made in East India have been
extremely limited since the termination of the last quarterly
sales; good and fine sorts of Bengal are held for the rates
of that period, but the lower kinds may be had upon easier
terms.

Vv.
SALTPETRE.—Rough is wanted, and former rates would be
paid, but holders requiring an advance has checked business,
by private treaty and at auction 1,567 bags of Calcutta
