STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER.—The market has been inactive during the
present week, but unaccompanied by any unfavourable effect
upon prices, which are generally fully maintained. The late
intelligence from India would no doubt have occasioned a large
business for that quarter, both in cloth and yarn, had it not
been borne in mind that very extensive exports have been
made of late which are now in tran.situ, and will be amply suf-
ficient for the present wants of the Eastern market; therefore,
until some account of these shipments is to hand, so as to
serve as a guide to future operations, it is not very probable
that any very large further transactions can for a time be
counted on. There has been less inquiry in the cloth market,
but manufacturers of all light descriptions of goods are so
fully engaged, and for such a lengthened period, that no unto-
ward effect is produced. Sales could undoubtedly be effected
for present delivery, but buyers are not now generally inclined
to give out orders for delivery at such extended dates as manu-
facturers could only undertake. In domestics and the heavier
description of goods there is still no improvement.
ROCHDALE.—This week there has been a rather brisk de-
mand for goods of a low and middliir, quality, while the finer
kinds of flannel have not been so much inquired after. There
continues much inactivity in the wool market, nut prices have
still an upward tendency.
LEEDS.—The report of the woollen trade of this town and
neighbourhood still continues favourable; and from the pros-
pect of a good harvest, it is generally anticipated that we shall
have a good autumn and winter trade. There has been more
business done in woollen cloths during the last two mouths
than was done in the corresponding months of any of the last
three or four years.

13RADFORD.—WooL —During the past week, scarcely so
much wool has changed hands, the supply held by both spin-
ners and staplers being abundant. Prices without change.
Yarns.—The demand for yarns continues good for export as
well as for home manufacture. Fresh contracts are entered
into at an advance of Cd. per gross upon last month's prices.
tieces.—There is little or no variation in the market. All
kinds of goods suited for the fall trade are bought up, and the
manufacturers chiefly engaged to order. Prices are on the
advance.

HALIFAX.—The trade here remains pretty much the same as
reported in our last. The den:and for yarns continues good.
The spinners are fully employed, and are asking rather higher
prices. There is scarcely so much doingin wool. The spinners
are tnetty wen stocKea, and the turn of the marlact in in &your
of the buyer.
HL•DDECSFIELD.—This week there has been a good demand
for d•eskins and other goods suitable for the period of the
year. The manufacturers continue to be well employed, and
goods move off, at firm prices, as quickly as they are produced.
