STATE TR.Aut

'MA Ncitts.rtn.—The goods department is as inanimate at the
close as it was at the commencement of the week ; and the bu-
siness effected is inconsiderable in its aggregate amount. Print-
ing cloths continue to meet with purchasers more readily than
other articles; yet there is a diminished inquiry even for them.
The overland mail has given no impulse to the various widths
of shillings, or any other fabrics suitable for India and China.
It is as difficult as ever to dtspose of long cloths and T cloths;
and an unmitigated dulness still weighs upon the prices of do-
mestics. Altogether, the tendency has been rather unfavoura-
ble. and previous rates are not fully maintained. As regards
yarns, it is but too evident that, in the lower counts of water,
there is a growing disadvaniage on the side of producers • in
No. 20's the depression is extreme. On the other hand, No.
40's are rather more called for. Warps for exportation are be-
coming more difficult of sale. The finer counts of doubled
yarns are slightly improving. In the finer numbers of mule,
from 50's upward, the India merchants are operating rather
. . .

the whole, the business of the week has been very limited in its
extent ; and, except as regards some particular articles, we may
quote an average decline of about 4d. per lb. from the late
highest range of prices. After all, however, the weakness in
nrices scarcely extends below the surface. Spinners and ma-

nufactui.ers make but a slight abatement from their extreme
requirements. The buyers soon find a bottom of firmness, not
to he beaten down ; for the producers do not bold any material
wei• ht of stork, and they are quite eware that the well-em-
ployed manufacturers of northern Germany are far from over-
stocked with yarns ; t7.,at. in Italy and southern Germany, the
supply of British fabrics is becoming scanty; that, in the Le-
'

vant, symptoms of improvement are beginning, to appear; and
that, great as have been the shipments to Calcutta and llom-
bay, there is no accumulation of stock in those markets. Thus
is our market, on the whole, well sustained.
ROCH DALE.—We have had a good market this week, but not
quite so many pieces were sold as in the preceding week. The
middle and lower-priced pieces have been most inquired after,
Manufacturers are offering rather lower prices for wool.
MACCLESFIELD.—There is no new feature to notice in the
trade of this town, either as regards the throwing or manufac-
turing interest, the latter remaining, with somefew exceptions,
in the quiet state we last reported. We understand there is a
prospect of a fair business being done in figured fabrics for the
ensuing spring. The raw silk market continues firm.
LEEDS.—We are glad to hear that within the last few days
some tolerably large orders, from houses in the foreign trade,
have been given out, and there is a prospect of a fair average
winter trade being done. Our public markets have been well
attended this week both by merchants and manufacturers, and

BRA DFORD.—WOOL.—In somehands a shade more has been
done, while others have experienced great dulness, but on the
whole the filminess doing is not large, not is there any induce-
ment offered in price to remove the many large lots remaining
in stocks in different parts of the town. The stock in the mar-
ket is excessive, compared with other years, but the staplers
see no chance of replacing their stocks, and cling to them till
either wools decline in this country or advance here, of which
there is not the sli,tihtest prospect. YARNS are without altera-
tion as regards price, and great complaints are still made by
the manufacturers that their wants are not met. In some
hands looms have been stopped, owing to the prices being such
that they will not continue their production. PIECES.—' he
transactions are not extensive, and prices are firm.
lIALIFAx.-There was scarcely so much business done in
the Piece-hall on Saturday, but there is a fair amount doing in
the warehouses, and as stocks are generally very low, most of
it is done to order, by which the manufacturers are enabled,
in some instances. to obtain rather better rates. Lastings and
low mixtures are much inquired for, but not readily met with ;
the inadequate prices which have ruled for some time past
having greatly diminished the production. The Yarn trade
continues brisk, at fully late quotations, and the export houses
are disposed to give a little more for prompt delivery. A fair
quantity of long Wool is changing hands. with the turn in
favour of the seller. Most sorts of short Wool are more easy
to quit, at recent prices ; and brokes, which are more sought
for, are looking upwards.
HUDDERSFIELD.—The market has not been very brisk,
although we have had several buyers, but we do not hear much
complaining, and with the exception of those engaged in the
manufacture of fancy vestings, there appears to be considerable
activity throughout Oa district,
