STATE OF TRADE.
MANCHESTER.—No very decided change has taken place
this market since Tuesday. On the whole, perhaps, a stead
feeling has prevailed. More inquiry also has been experieni
for some descriptions of goods, and where the extremely 1
rates of last week have been submitted to, more business 1
been transacted. Yarns have improved slightly since the 1
ginning of the wesk. We are sorry to announce, however, tl
considerable gloom was thrown over the market to-day, by 1
announcement of several new failures. Mr. David Ainswor
manufacturer, George-street, on Friday announced his
ability to, meet his engagements. Very large losses by
debts, within the last two months, and the general depress
in trade, have been the means of causing, this suspension.
is understood that the statement to be submitted to the en
tors, on Thursday next, will show assets to nearly the ame

Manchester Guardian of Wednesday reports that at Tuesda,
market there was more inquiry than previously both for god
and yarn, and that a fair amount of business might have be
done if the manufacturers would have accepted the lowest rat
which were current last week. The number of iineinnlov

operatives in the manufacturing districts of Lancashire has i
Creased considerably during the last week. I n the borough
Manchester, as shown by the usual weekly returns, "there a
six fewer mills working fill time this week than there we
last; of which five have had recourse to short hours, and oi
has stopped altogether. In the fortnight ending on Tuesd;
week, ten mills had gone to reduced time, and three hi
stopped. As to the workpeople, the number of those fully o
copied has been reduced 680 during the week, of whom 465 a
working short time, and 215 are destitute of emp'oyment. TI
numbers in the preceding return were much greater; those wt
had been reduced being nearly 2000, and those entirely di
charged upwards of 1000. There are now nearly 12,000 facto]
hands in the borough of Manchester without the means of en
ployment," and there are 14,578 working short time, and 14,81
working full time.

LEmi's.—The staple trade of this town and neighbourhood
remains in much the same state of comparative depression
that we have had to notice for some time hack. All parties act
with peat caution, and whilst the demand for all descriptions
of woollen goods is extremely limited, the manufacturers are
curtaiiing the amount of their produce; hence stocks do not
increase much, and prices are without alteration. The foreign
houses have done scarcely anything in the market this week,
and the home market is confined to present need. The mild-
ness of the weather makes winter goods but little required.
BRA oroan.—Woo/..-The continued dulness we have noted
for some weeks past is rather on the increase. Noils and
brokes are so limited in the quantity making, that prices are
'better supported than Long Wools. Yarns.—The demand to-
day has been of that cheerless character we have before noted,
and without improvement in prices. Pieces.—There is only a
limited business doing.

HUDDERSFIELD.--4he best that can be said of our market
this week, is, that it is not worse than that of last week. There
has been very little doing either in the Cloth-hall or in the
warehouses, and there is no certainty about prices, the wool
market being in a very unsettled state. The vesting trade is
more satisfactory, the orders for the American mark -"
very considerable.
HALIFAX.—We have no change to report in the state of our
piece market to-day. Very little business is doing, and more
mills sre running short time. Yarns continue very depressed.
In Wools a very small amount of business has taken place, in
consequence of the mills going E bort time.
.ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET.—There was a numerous at-
tendance of both buyers and manufacturers in the market this
week, but trade was dull, owing to the scarcity of money.. Ma-
nufacturers are obliged to submit to a small reduction in the
prices of nearly all descriptions of flannel. The failures in the
cotton trade have affected the flannel trade, and thrown a damp
on the market. In foreign Wool prices were lower, and brokes
and skins were a shade lower than last week, Cotton.—There
never was.a blacker appearance than at the present time in the
cotton trade in this neighbourhood, and on Saturday last, se-
veral persons who have stalls in Rochdale new market did not
draw as much money as would pay toll for the standings.
