STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER.—There was some improvement in the de-
mand for yarn yesterday, and a considerable amount of busi-
ness was done, but without any advance in prices. In goods
the improvement was not quite so manifest asinyarn,though,
on the whole, the market was better, rather than worse.—
Guardian of Wednesday.
ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, JUNE 3.

There is but little change in the flannel market to-day : the
manufacturers complain, and not without reason, of the low
prices offered for their goods. The wool market has been
flat, but the former prices have been maintained.
HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, JUNE 4.—This market was a
little more animated than for some weeks past; but the sup-
ply of saleable goods, in consequence of the long drought, is
so small, as necessarily to limit the sales. Heavy woollens,
for importation, are in fair demand, and goods of a more ge-
neral description meet with purchasers. Fancy woollens
have fallen both in demand and price. Fancy waistcoatings,
and other light fancy goods, are in steady demand. Prices,
for the most part, remain firm. Wools may be quoted a
shade lower, especially English. Business in the warehouses
is a little better.—/bid.
STATE OF TRADE AT BLACKBURN.—There is not the
slightest indication of any thing in the market, in any of its
various branches, that can justify the opinion that cotton has
again to rally ; but t ather every thing observable which for-
tells a further decline ; yet, probably, not a sufficient one,
more especially when the spinner is concerned. The bundle
market must be to many a ruinous one without sorne,speedy,
yet unforeseen improvement. The best that can be said of
the crop market is, that it is not quite so bad as the former.
With respect to the cloth market, no improvement has yet
been expnenced, except, indeed, in a very few descriptions of
tight jaconets.—Blackburn Standard.
