STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER.—There is no material change in our market
since Tuesday. On the v.tole there is perhaps not quite so
much business doing, though a getierardtsposition-to give out
orders to a moderate extent is still apparent. Shirrings are in-
quired after, but no very extensive sales can be effected in them
except at the current prices-of last weak. In very few instances
has any decided advance yet been established upon old rates.
Manufacturers generally, however, are disposed to be firm, and
in some cases consider it more prudent to refuse to accept
orders, unless on somewhat better terms. The intelligence re-
ceived from India, in anticipation, of the Overland mail, will
tend to improve this favourable feeling. In the Yarn market
no alteration can be noted.

ROCII DA LE.-Our market.this week was very well attended
but the failure of one of the Flannel manufacturers for the sum
of about £lOOO, had the effect of contracting business in the
early part of the day, but in the afternoon there was a good
demand for all sorts of Flannels, at last week's prices. The
Wool market was much the same.

LEEDS.—About a late average amount of business has been
-done both in the Cloth Halls and the warehouses this week.
The demand is still for the lower qualities of goods, suited to
the America trade. A fair amount of goods have also changed
hands for the home trade. There is no alteration in prices.
HUDDERSFIELD.—The market has been a fair average one
This week, without any feature of change worthy of notice.
lIALIFAx.—A better feeling has been manifasted in the
staple trade of this town this week, and a shade more business
has been done, but we cannot notice any change in prices.
The stock of long Wool in the market .is diminishing, without
any temptation in price to purchase to replace it, as no advance
can be established. Hogs are scarce. In short Wools there is
less doing, and purchasers buy with great caution ; but the
prices are decidedly firmer.
BRADFORD.—WooI.---The demand during the week past has
been very similar to several preceding; the inquries being
chiefly for full bred Wools, for which late rat's are steadily
maintained. boils and Brokes are in full request, without
change in price. Yarns.—The transactions in Yarns, both for
home consumption and exp,)rt, are on ,the increase, and the
spinners generally working to order, withsniall stocks on hand.
On some kinds a shade more is demanded. Pieces.—A fair
business continues to be done in Orleans and Cobourgs, with-
out change in prices. Neat styles, suitable for the autumn, in
fancy goods, are inquired for by the shipping houses.
NorriNGllAl4l.—Lace : There is but little change to report
in the market for this article. Prices remain as at our last re-
port. Fancies of new and good patterns find a fair sale, and
at moderate prices. Muslin lace goods are more sought after;
and if there arrive, as is confidently expected, in a few weeks,
good orders from America, the buyers will find them scarce
and of more value. Yarns are likely to rule for this year not
lower than at present.—Hosiery : We have very little altera-
tion to notice in the trade this week. For -the season of the
year the demand for the home market continues very languid,
and with no disposition on the part of buyers to purchase so
freely as we have noticed in former seasons. The glove trade
is in *full activity. We hear also, in the drawer and shirt branch,

GLASGOW.—Cotton Tarn : Our market has assumed a better
aspect, in so far as sales are more easily made, but any ad-
vanced rates are very difilcult to obtain.—Cotton Goods: The
market still continues very. quiet for goods generally, and prices
low, but without any encouragement to speculate; and both
manufacturers and merchants are acting cautiously.—lron :
