STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHEST6II.—There has been more business doing during
the p,st week by shippers. This is chiefly from prices having
been accepted which are somewhat lower, although this remark
must be held as having reference to individual cases, mantifac-
turers g 4 nerally asking former quotations. The home-trade
buyers have also evinced a disposition to purchase rather more
freely. and—cans.deting that this is a dull reason of the year,
when people limit their operations to the smallest extent ;we-
sible on account of the half yearly stock-taking—this may be
looked upon as an Ind cation that after the clos • of the month
we shad haves tail amount of busiurss, especially as it is wed
known that sto ks are exceedingly light in th • hands of the
drapers and wholesale h uses. Yarns are in pretty fair request,
and prices continue without any fluctuations of corscquence.
The following are our quo; actor, for the present week :-26 inch
24 reed pr liters, at 48. 3d. to 48. aid.; 27.nch ti 6 reed do., at 4s.
3d. to 4s.Bd. ; 27 inch 72 reed do , at 4s. yd. to as. 6d.; sd Inch

to 95. gd ; 40 inch G. H. India long ctoths-66 reeds, at Bs. 74d.
to gs ; 72 reeds. at 95. 6il. to 9s. 95

ROCHDAL/I.—We have had avery quiet market to day. and
but few pieces have been sold. In the wool market there Las
been very little doing. w•th DO change in prices.
HALIFAX.—Our market in wools remains at the last week's
prices. In the piece market at the hall there was little business
done.

HUDDIRSPIILD.—Our market continues flat, th-ugh not
more so than at this season generally. Next month we may
expect to have an alteration for the better. Prices are much
the same.

Laxns.—We have had exceedingly dull markets at our cloth
halls, both on Saturday and to.da% ; indeed we scarcely ever
,mtnessed so little doing at this time of the year. Prices are
nominal in the present dull state of trade. There have been
scarcely any buyers in the market during the past week, and in
c..nsequence little has been done in business in the warehouses,
and little improvement is expected until the important questions
in parli,anetit are completely settled.

BRADFORD.— Wool Market : The clip of new wool this year
is very promising, from it, excellent condition and soundness.
This of late has been freely offered at the different markets and
fairs, and the supply here is fully et,ual to the wants of thl
consumer, wants which continue to he of a lira t d character.—
Yarn Market: The d mans tiqyarns is tolerab y steady. and of
some number the supply is barely equal to the demand; hut the
prices current bear no comparison to the cost of the raw mate-
rial ; and while this great disparity continues we can see no in-
ducement for increased .production.—piece Market: 'the con-
tinuance of the present g orious weather, and the chance of an
early settlement of the long-protracten corn question, is looked
upon favourably by all connected with our trade, a :d the mar-
ket to-day exhibits a d: gree of healthier feeling. and general
expectation that we sha I have a lather hnimated autumn rade.
NOTTINGHAM.—The state of the cotton hosiery trade mat be
considered as amended. The cotton glove trade is still pretty
brisk. though the wages are very low. The silk glove branch►
is rather wor-e, but the hands in general are not discharged.
The fancy bobbin-net trade is yet in rather a low condition in
Fngland. The Jacquard now preferred is the Manchester prin-
ciple. or rather that of Spita.fields, upon the method of the

tab inventor Hie warp trade in the Midland counties,
whether for hosiery or lace, is in a wretched stste, it we except
the He lin iounis of Leicester, and thosa of making the new
fancy shaw's.
Pft,isLEY —Trade lms been in a very languid state here for a
mouth or six weeks past; but we are happy to announce that
there are now th cided indications of an improvement and of a
very busy season in prepar.ng tor the fall trade The manufac-
ture of fine tartan) dresses and liandkeichiefs. which was parti-
ally introduc,d here during the depression of 1812, has now be-
come a staple article of trade in Piisley. Must or our leading
manuf.cturers are now uxtensi• ►y engaged in that line. and
one house in town stands un walled. w•e believe in '-eutland.
for the fineness, as well as the tiu lity and variety. of that des-
cription or goods which it turns out In the various depart-
ments of the shawl trine there has been also a good deal of stir
during the week, and a considerable increase in the number of
hands employ ed in the go .ds of the Innia stye, as well as for
prints and checks for the trade of winter.
