STATE OF TRADE

MANCHESTER.—There was no material change in the
market yesterday, as compared with that of the preceding
Tuesday ; the demand both for goods and yarns was mode-
rate, hut steady, and prices, without alteration. Within the
last few days, some purchases have been made for American
account; but they are generally of an exceedingly limited
character, and produce but little effect upon the market.
ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, JULY 27TH.
We have had rather more doing in the market to-day ; yet
the business has been limited, and prices very low. In the
wool market there is nothing new to report ; prices are
giving way, and manufacturers buy for immediate use only.
HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, JULY 28.—There were more
buyers in this market to-day than last week ; but the amount
of business done was comparatively trifling. What may be
the effect of fine weather cannot of course be ascertained ;
but hopes are entertained that a good harvest will greatly
improve the withered state of trade ; and, as all prospect of
a foreign demand is at an end for the present. this seems to
be the only ground of hope. Prices are nominal.—Man-
chester Guardian. •

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, JULY 28.
(Front the Circular of Messrs. James Scott and Son.)
Since Tuesday last the imports of Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal,
from Ireland, have again been very trivial, indeed, they have for
some time past been almost exceeded by the exports thither; of
Wheat and Flour, from Foreign ports and from Canada, the arrivals
have also been to a very small extent.
The weather. during the past week, has been almost as rainy as
in the four preceding ones, and nearly equally deficient of sunshine
and summer heat, so that, although favourable for Potatoes,
Turnips, the pastures, and second crops of Grass, it must be becom-
ing injurious to no small portion of the Hay still unsecured, and the
crops of Grain arc progressing very slowly to proper maturity, but
further than protecting the commencement of harvest, no serious
injury has recently been done ; and this account is applicable to a
great portion of the northern districts of England, and likewise of
Scotland and Ireland, but reports are snitch more favourable of the
weather and of the crops in almost all the influential southern
districts.
The demand has been very steady here and in all our surround-
ing markets of the past week, for every article in the Corn trade,
at fully last; Tuesday's prices, which, in some instances, for Wheat
and Flour, Oats and Meal, have been a little exceeded ; and in con-
sequence of the prospect of a reduction in the duties, Wheat and
Flour, in bond, have been objects of active speculation recently,
at a small advance ; duty having been paid on most of the Oats in
bond, their value, bonded or free, has varied very little.
The duty on Wheat from Foreign ports was decreased on Friday
last to. 16s Sd per qnarter, and on Flour to les 04d per barrel, as
expected, on all other Grain it remains unaltered; it is confidently
anticipated that on Friday, the 7th of August, the duty will be
further reduced on Wheat to 135 8d per quarter, and on Flour to
Its 2.id per barrel ; and on Friday, the 14th of August, that it will be
atilt further reduced to les 8d per quarter, and to 6s 5d per barrel.
Yesterday the weather was very tine and warm with every ap-
pearance of being settled, which stagnated sales, and although it
is again cloudy and overcast, the languid account from Mark Lane
market, of yesterday, caused a very slack demand here at this
• day's market for every article iu the Corn trade, at about the
prices of this day week.
