STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER.—The market for goods was again depressed
yosterday—more. so than i❑ the preceding week. Yarns for ex-
port were, however, still in fair demand, though they cannot be
called brisk. There seems in most parts of the country to be a
very unsettled and uneasy feeling amongst the hands employed
in cotton factories. We hope, however, that an understanding
may be come to between them and their employers without any
serious or long-continued turn-out, which particularly at a time
when provisions are and are likely to be, so much higher than
they have been of late, would be attended with very disastrous
results to a large class of the labouring population.—Manchester•
Guardian.

ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, OCT. 31.—T0-day
has been an extrcinely•dull market; few pieces have been sold,
and those at reduced prices. Wool of the finest and the coarsest
quality is still lower than the previous week, while that of the
middling kind keeps up its price better.
Turton OF LEEDS.—About the same quantity of goods was
sold at the cloth halls this week as last, at much the same prices.
The stocks on hand with the manufacturers are rather on the
increase, snore particularly in low qualities ; they are, however,
taking the prudent course of reducing the quantity snaking. In
the warehouses, business has been dull during the week; the
stocks in the hands of the merchants are, however, light for the
season, and as they are purchasing very sparingly, there is lit-
tle probability that there will be any large accumulation of goods
in their bands for some time.—Leeds Mercury.
BRADFORD MARKET, THURSDAY, OCT. 27.—There have been
more buyers in the piece market to-day, and, compared with the
last three weeks, more business has been done; this is partly
owing to the necessity merchants are under to purchase in order
to supply their customers. Should the present weather continue,
we may safely anticipate greater activity. Prices do not retro-
grade. The demand for yarns to-day is very limited, and lower
prices are submitted to by the spinners. Theme is nothing doing
in the wool trade. Prices nominal, and country dealers rather
more inclined to
HALIFAX MARKET, WEDNESDAY.—We have had rather
more buyers in this market to-day, but not quite so much busi-
ness done as last week, yet there have been more goods sold
than for two or three weeks previous, but at reduced prices.
Yarns are a little lower, but nut so as to warrant the deduction
that has taken place in tho manufactured article.—lbid.

EAST NORFOLK CONSERVATIVE ASSOCIATION.

The conservatives of the eastern division, of the county of
Norfolk, embracing the rank, wealth, intelligence, respecta-
bility, and independence of the neighbourhood, assembled to-
gether on Friday last, in St. Andrew's-hall, Norwich, in cele-
bration of the anniversary of this association, when upwards of
800 gentlemen sat down to a substantial dinner. The hall, one
of the largest and most magnificent in the kingdom, the same

rated for the occasion with festoons, flags, and banners with
appropriate inscriptions, and, being lighted up with gas, pre-
sented altogether a brilliant and imposing spectacle. Iu strik-
ing and imposing blazonry were exhibited the names of the
Duke of Wellington, Sir Robert Peel, Lords Lyndhurst, Eldon,
Abinger, and the other leading members of the conservative
body. The following, among other mottoes, were also promi-
nently displayed:—" Fear God, honour the King," " The
prerogative of the Crown, the independence of the Peers, the
rights of the People," " Stormont and Scarlett," " Walpole
and Wodehouse," " Orford and the Conservatives of Norfolk,"
•` Bignold and the Conservatives of Norwich," " The Majo-
rities at the last County Election," " West Norfolk, no close
borough," &c,

The Earl of Orford took the chair, supported by the Lord-
Lieutenant of the County (Lord Wudehouse,) Lord Sondes,
