STATE OF TRADE

MANCHESTER.—Some excitement was created in this town
on Monday morning, by the announcement of the failure of
the long-established and well-known house of Messrs. Saml.
Stocks and Son, manufacturers and merchants, of Heaton
Mersey, and of this town ; against whom, we believe, a fiat
in bankruptcy has been issued. Messrs. Stocks and Son
were, a few years ago, cotton spinners as well as manufac-
turers; but their spinning mill having been destroyed by fire,
they had ceased to spin, and purchased yarns for the supply
of their looms. They were also extensive purchasers of
manufactured goods for export. We understand that the
amount of their engagements is something under £BO,OOO.
The necessary effect of this failure was to throw a very seri-
ous damp upon the market yesterday ; and its effect was in-
creased by the unpromising appearance of the weather,
which, after two tolerably fine days, showed manifest symp-
toms of deterioration. Under these circumstances, it was
not surprising that the market should be, as in fact it was, one
of the worst, if not the very worst, of the present year. For
manufactured goods. indeed, there was literally no demand ;
and the few sales made were at a serious reduction of prices.
For yarn, the market was not quite so unfavourable ; and
some business was done, though with difficulty, and at gra-
dually declining prices. We are glad to state, however, that
with the exception of two small concerns at Blackburn, no
additional failures were announced ; and a mischievous ru-
mour of that nature, which was circulated through the town
in the morning,:was ascertained to be entirely unfounded..

market, who have bo

July, August, and September, are generally the best months
' ' Black water market. Wool still maintains

HUDDERSFIELD, AUG. 3.—The demand for middle and
low-priced woollens, both plain and fancy, was tolerably
brisk to-day ; prices however have not improved. In super-
tines there was little done. In light fancies there was less
complaint. Wools are firm. Business in the warehouses
has not undergone any material change.

The American ladies are all of royal blood; for the people
are the sovereign, and they are the daughters of the people.

The arrivals into this port from Ireland, between Tuesday
last and to-day, have been wholly insignificant, and excepting
2495 barrels of Flour from Glasgow, we have scarcely any-
thing to notice coastwise.—From the continental ports of
Europe the supplies are also trivial ; and from the American
States or Canada we have no Grain or Flour fresh in fOr
to-day.
During the above period considerable excitement pre-
vailed in the trade for bonded Flour, which was sought after
with unusual eagerness, prime States' brands readily com-
manding 30s. on Wednesday ; and yesterday, in consequence
of the animated account from Mark-lane, that description
was taken off with still greater avidity at 30s. to 315., and
even 325. per barrel : stale parcels at the same time realized
285., and the transactions altogether amounted to about
35,000 barrels, thereby establishing an advance of 2s. to 3s.
upon our previous quotations.—Of Wheat, also under lock,
several cargoes changed hands, good Baltic red attaining
Bs. 4d. to 9s. per 701b5., and other kinds of Foreign a pro-
portionate improvement.

These extensive operations appeared to exclude anything
beyond a very moderate attention to other articles of the
trade, and the business done in free produce was therefore
unimportant.

Excepting a few showers early on Tuesday, and heavy rain
for several hours at night, the weather here since the close
of last week has been fair, and during the last two days very
favourable ; last evening, however, the weather again became
wet, and, although we have a drying wind to-day, it appears
unsettled.

The duties for the ensuingl week are reduced on foreign
Wheat to 21s. Bd., on Burley to 13s. 10d., on Beans to lls.,
on Pease to 6s. 6d. per quarter, and on Flour to 13s. Old.
per barrel ; those on other produce remaining unaltered.

At our Market this morning the demand for bonded Flour
seemed to open briskly, and in a few instances 33s and 34s
per barrel were paid, but the buyers being deterred from pro-
ceeding at these high prices, and the day clearing up fine, the
sales on the whole were limited, and at the close 33s was
scarcely obtainable. Bonded Wheat, notwithstanding, con-
tinued to meet a lively sale, and many cargos were taken
with a view to low duties, at an amendment upon Tuesday's
currency of 3d to Gd for general runs, and 6d to 10d per
lbs for the best descriptions.
Free foreign Wheats were in moderate request at an ad-
vance of 2d. to 4d., and fine English white brought 12s. per
7011os. English and Irish Flour obtained 2s. per sack, and
foreign, duty paid, 2s. per barrel above the rates previously
quoted.
Barley, Malt, Beans, and Peas'were held firmly on rather
higher terms, but were not readily saleable at any material
improvement in value.

Oats, upon a very limited supply, were 2d. per 451bs.
dearer; and Oatmeal, of which considerable speculative pur-
chases were made, commanded is. to s. 6d. per 240 lbs.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, 3 P.m

A moderate demand for Cotton to-day; nevertheless, a
gloomy feeling pervades the market, and consumers seem to
be sanguine that much lower prices must shortly be sub-
mitted to. The sales of the week are 22,510 bales, of which
exporters have taken 2,000 and speculators 1000 bales of
American. Prices in all descriptions rule fully id. lower
than last. Friday.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET,

Auc. 3,

(From the Circular of Messrs. James Scott 6- Son

Since Tuesday last the iiiiports of Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal,
have been very moderate from Ireland and Coastways, but they con-
tinue to a fair extent from foreign ports.
The weather during the past week has been stormy and unset-
tled, with rain in the nights, and unseasonably cold ; exciting some
alarm for the fate of the crops, and giving a prospect of a late and
precarious harvest ;—we have in consequence experienced a pretty
steady demand for Wheat and Flour, free and in bond, at a further
increase in prices of 2d to 3d per 70 lb on the former, and of Is per
barrel and per sack on the latter, and many parcels have been with-
drawn for the present sale; every other article in the Corn Trade
has participated a little in this improvement in demand and prices.
The duty., on Wheat froin Foreign Ports has declined is per
quarter, on Flour 74d per barrel, and on Rye and Peas is 6d per
quarter on Friday last ; and on Peas from British Colonies it has
declided to Gd per quarter ; there seems no doubt that in two or 3
weeks the duty on Wheat and Flour from Canada., and from all
other British Colonies, will be at the lowest rates, (tid per quarter,
and 4d per barrel;) and many very confidently , anticipate an
almost similar reduction in the duties on Grain from foreign ports
in Semptember, which has caused very considerable parcels in bond
and on the passage to have recently changed hands.
In our circular of the 22d July, 1828, giving a brief of the Corn
Laws then passed, we made a remark which has often been veri-
fied since—that by the practical working of the averages, the
prices of good English Wheat here would be 105 od to Ils per
70 lb, or 74s to 77s per quarter for several weeks before Foreign
Wheat or Flour could be admitted for home use at any reasonable
duty; our prices for Such are now lOs gd to 11s 4d per 70 lb, and
the duty 22s Sd per quarter I—virtually prohibitory ! with about
600,000 quarters of Wheat in bond in the United Kingdom thus
withheld from home consumption.
By an estimate of the stocks of Grain now here free for home
use, made it is believed pretty accurately,—there are 28,000 qrs. of
Wheat and about 18,300 barrels of Flour, (exclusive of Canadian
in bond) about 9800 quarters of Oats, about 28,000 loads of Oatmeal,
and about 5000 quarters of Beans; a very small stock ! even if a
little underrated to stand against a late and dubious harvest ! In
bond here we have about 98,000 quarters of Foreign and -6000 qrs.
Canadian Wheat; about 140,000 barrels of Foreign and about
28,000 barrels of Canadian Flour; 11,000 qrs. of Oats ; about 8000
qrs. of Peas ; and about 30,000 qrs. of Beans, chiefly Egyptian.
At this day's market sales to a moderate extent were made of
every article in the Corn trade at the advance above noted, and
quoted as correctly as possible in our prices current below ; the
the temperature is becoming much warmer and seasonable:
