STATE OF TRADE

MANCHESTER.—There was very little demand on the
exchange yesterday, either for yarn or goods ; and the busi-
ness done was limited, though, so far as we could learn,
without alteration in prices. The country trade is, however,
we believe, tolerably good.
ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, JAN. 25.--
To-day there has been the best market we have had this
year. The demand for goods has been very fair, with a
rather numerous attendance of buyers ; but no improve-
ment has taken place in prices. The prospect of a long and
and severe winter has generally some influence upon; the
flannel market, either in prices or quantity of business
done.

HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, JANUARY 26.—The aspect of
this market was decidedly favourable, there being many
buyers, and desirable goods changed hands freely at fair
prices. The demand is principally in low and middle qua-
lities of plain and fancy woollens, light checks, and other
fancy goods. In short, there is considerable buoyancy, with
every prospect of an advance of prices. Stocks are com-
paratively small, and the operatives are generally employed.
More activity prevails in the warehouses. Wools are firm.—

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JANUARY 27,

The market throughout the week has been very quiet ; to-day
the buyers are very inanimate, and purchase very sparingly; the
sales are about 3000 bales of all kinds.

THURSDAY EVENING

We have had another quiet day in our market, and about 3500
bales have been sold at prices on a par with last week ; in some
instances a slight concession in favour of the buyer ; at the close
of 'Change we have to report a sale of 500 bales to a speculator,
which is a new feature.
