STATE OF TRADE,

MA NCH ESTE R.—There continues to be comparatively little
doing in this market. In yarns there have been a few transac-
tions for India since Tuesday, at full rates ; and the home Ina-
"

demand for export is, for th

continue firm, with no inclin'ation to lower rates; on the con-
trary, an advancing market is looked f r at no distant period.
In the cloth market prices are well maintained, and for some
sorts of goods, printers especially, very full rates are demanded,
Gree --hams r- tin coact:

A fem.. _...ive, but during the week
they have received remittances, enabling them to meet the ac-
counts coming due; they are not, however, inclined to place
themselves under further engagements, till the receipt of some
definite information touching monetary arrangements at
home.

LEEDS.—A good amount of business, in some instances at
slightly improved prices, has been done in the woollen trade
this week, and the impression is general that we shall have a
good spring trade. As we have already stated, stocks are low ;
and if the demand continues good, an advance in prices may
be fairly anticipated. The raw ma'.erial—wool--has already
advanced a little, and still higher prices are asked by the far-
mers who have any on hand. The staplers, however, as well as
the cloth manufactureis, decline to give the extreme prices
'sked- for woollen goods extends to both the

BRADFORD.—WooIs : The demand continues active, and re-
cent quotations are generally realised. Noils and brokes are
in somewhat better sale_ hnt rho 0/11701100 ;0

wools. arns "lite spinners are now ge-
nerally busy and working to order, but most of them upon
orders taken previously to the unexpected rise in wools, and
with the recent change in the raw material they are without
prospect of covering the cost by their labours. Pieces: The
advance sought by the cotton warp makers and the worsted
spinners is now considerably enhancing the cost of the cloth,
which is by no means met by the advance of 6d. to la. per piece
on recent quotations, and as the stocks are very low, there is
no doubt but better prices will be realized.
HALIFAX.—The year has opened more auspiciously than its
predecessor did ; and there is a much better feeling as to the
general state of trade. More business was done in the Piece
Hall on Saturday, and chiefly in heavy goods, for which the
demand is improving. .Prices, however, remain stationary.
The spinners are still busy ; and the advanced rates for yarns
are fairly sustained. Wool is still in pretty fair demand, and
some sorts sell freely at the late advance.

HUDDERSFIELD.—There has been a brisk market this week
and a large quantity or goods have changed hands. Prices ari
firmer, and stocks of desirable goods very limited.

a•AF,s-",-,,C. FLANNEL MARKET.—There has not been much
business done in the flannel market this week. There has been
no alteration in the prices of goods since this day week. Fo-
reign Wool much the same as our last report, but skins and
broker have been a shade higher in prices. There is not a
doubt but we shall have a very good trade ball in the flannel
and cotton business in this neighbourhood.
