STATE OF TRADE

MANCIIESTER.—The business done during the past week has
hem, very limited, much less than in any similar period since
the beginning of October. An attempt has been made to effect
a decline in prices, by giving currency to an averment that
such had already taken place ; but beycnd the fact that, since
Wednesday last, there has been less done, and a feeling of dis-
quietilde and apprehension produced, we believe no other con-
-,quence has yet resulted from the effort used to break down
tin' c n dence of manufacturers There has been only a Verl
'iii itrd demand for printing cloth this week ; prices,
however,
have not been materially affected. Shirtings have continued to
lie i tiu t t and steady demand, at former prices. Yarns hale
ne.mi mill, and rates a shade lower have been taken to force
Those large orders for 11 S., America, said to have been

ket, combined with the " short time+, movement, has had the
effect of keeping speculators out of the Cotton market, which
has exhibited symptoms of weakness, and holders have offered

this rwaket

stocks more freely.
ROCHDALE —We have had no improvement in the Flannel
market to-day, either as regards prices or demand. The busi-
ness done has been very limited, and there is very little prospect
of a speedy change for the better. On Weonesday last, the
most extensive purchaser of Flannels in the Blackwater market
(Mr. Adam Livesey, of Manchester.) died. The absence of this
gentleman was always regarded as a certain omen of a bad

Market.
LENDS.—The Woollen trade still continues dull in this town
and district; hut there is little despondency felt by either mer-
chants or manufacturers. Hopes are generally entertained
that we shall have a rtvival of trade on• the setting in of the
new year. The demand at this period of the year is generally
very slack.
BRA DFORD.-Wool Market.—There has been more inquiry
for Wool during the past week, which clearly indicates the
diminished supply in the consumers' hands; and although
there have been more 'ookers, we do not learn that any exten-
sive purchases have been made. The stock in the market is
considerably reduc d wi hin the last two months, and the
staplers find it impossible to replace their stocks with advan-
tage to themselves. The country dealers are by no means free
to sell at present rates, their stocks being bought by them at
such prices as wou'd only entail a certain loss. Prices keep
firm here. Yarn Market-1 he demand for this article continnes
r to be of the same sluggish character as reported for some titrie
past. The spinners have met this by very great curtailmenie
in their productions, as most houses have either large quantities
of machinery totally idle, or are runnin I short time. Prices ar:
so ruinously low, that spinners will not accumulate stocks, an
present prices are firmly maintained. Piece Market.— We Wore
no improvement to notice to-day; a general dulness prevail&
The trade is far from being remunerative, and most part of the
manufacturers are acting on the defensive. Heavy goods ere.
in most request. but at such low prices as offer no inducement
to increase the supplies. Prices remain steady.
HUDDERSFIELD.-Thee has been but little doing in the Cloth
Hall to.day, and although there have been a good many buyers
in the town there has not been mu h doing in the warehouses'
We do not think, however, that trade is worse, if so bad, as it
was this time last year.
HALIFAx —The general dulness of trade continues, and are
have no change to report. Fewer merchants have been iu the
hall to-day than for the last two or three Saturdays, and Oil
amount of goods sold hat been far from large. The manuise'
turers cannot replace the goods Ft the present prices ; aad the
sales that take place are chiefly made to avoid ruinous accuran-
lations in stock. In Yarns there is no change worth notice,
but the spinners are curtailing their production, and as they re
frain from buying. the stock lot Wool in the market is dirnici,ef
ing, the growers having no inducement to send further supPlln'
LEICESTER.—The demand for goons is very dull, and caper,-
ally so in the flame knit and straight.down branches; we laT,
of some manufacturers having stopped part of their machineiLi
Worsted is slack of sale, and the spinners have generally reducn
their prices per Its. from rates current a month or six wee
since. In Wool but very few transactions have taken place. 'l4-,
terms a shade in favour of the buyer ; hut prices are remarkar;
firm, considering the inactivity of the demand, the staplers
ing convinced that if they were to sub,i it to lower prices ..„,"
their stocks they would not be able to replace them at a corm'
ponding reduction from the grower.
