STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER.-With Tuesday evening the preeent week
was, as regards commercial matters, virtually brought to a

close. Since that (lay, there has been no business going for-
ward worthy of mention : Whit-week is the great holiday of
the manufacturing: districts, and the present year has proved
no exception to the general rule in that respect.
LEEDS.—Being Whitsuntide, the business transacted this
week has not been very large; but there has been a fair amount
of goods sold for the American markets. The middle and bet-
ter qualities of cloths are the most in demand; and stocks
being very moderate, prices are firm.
BRADFORD.—WOOL.--The supply in the market is abun-
dant, and the spinners are able to supply their wants on easier
terms. YARNS.—The demand, though not so active as in the
early part of the year, is yet enough to prevent accumulation
in stocks, and the contracts for June are 6d. per gross less in
lower numbers, and about 3d. on ,N

iB'S upwards. PIECES.—
...4 Lary Wl' goods ; but being a holiday
week, not near so many goods will he made.
H UDDERSEIRLD.—We have nothad much doing in our mar-
ket this week, and what has been done has been to supply the
immediate wants of the parties only. There is no likelihood
of any great things being done before the period when the au-
tumn trade commences. There is no alteration in prices worth
noticing.

HALIFAX.--There were but few merchants in our Piece Hall
on Saturday. and the amount of business done was very li-
mited. Prices are little more than nominal. In yarns we
have no material change to report. Prices are necessarily
drooping, as old .orders run out, and no new ones are received.
