STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER.—There was a good general inquiry both
for goods and yarn yesterday ; but, as a great majority of
the spinners and manufacturers held out resolutely for .higher
prices, which the buyers in general were not disposed to
give, the amount of business did. not quite correspond with
the extent of the inquiries. In some few cases an advance
was given ; in the remainder the full prices of the previous
week were obtained ; and, generally speaking, the market
wore a firm and healthy appearance.

- ROCHDALE FLANNEL •MARKET.---MONDAY, JAN. 6.
To-day is scarcely -deserving the name of a market ; very
few buyers have attended, and those have made limited pur-
chases. There is generally a scanty attendance on the mar-
ket days. that occur between Christmas day and the " new
market," which, this year, will be held on the 13th instant,
being as late as it can possibly fall. Wool has been rather
more inquired after, and has met with a better sale at the old
prices.

HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, JANUARY 7TH.--From all we
can learn our report of improvement in this market last week,
is fully confirmed to-day. A gradually increasing demand
for goods is generally apparent; and purchasers of the raw
material are pretty extensive. Prices, too, are on the advance.
Orders are more plentiful, so that the warehouses begin to
wear a more stirring appearance. Work, too, begins to be
more plentiful; but we fear a great mass of operatives will
have to struggle hard during the winter months, until a re-
vival of trade becomes more general.—Manchester Guardian.
