STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER.—Our market has been in an :inactive state
throughout the present week, as compared with the preceding
fortnight. In the goods department, we find there is less in-
quiry for printers of low quality; while the better makes, par-
ticularly 66 reeds, continue in fair request. In 36 to 40. inch
shirtings but little is doing; and stout domestics are dull.
In yarns, the lull is about as general as it is in cloth. Both the
manufacturers and the exporters are now purchasing very
sparingly,—for the most part merely in order tocomplete their
assortments; while some of the speculators are endeavouring
to re-sell their stocks. In a great degree this pause is the natu-
ral result of the recente4tensive operations, which have pretty
well satisfied the immediate wants of the buyers. In part,
however, it is undoubtedly to be accounted for, by the fact that
still higher prices are demanded, for both yarns and goods,
than such as haveteen realised upon the bulk of the business
lurterty direrteil Prnatiopre are etnuriing firmly, upon their
advanced quotations. They are awarethatthe prices of yarns
are graduly rising in Germany, and that considerable sup-
plies are still needed for that quarter. It is also generally ex-
pected that the overland mail, now due, will again bring good
accounts of the Indian markets. And, sparingly !as the home
dealershave as yet bought from the manufacturers, it cannot
be doubted that a freer purchase of stock will be the conse-
quence of that increase of consumption to'which cheapness of
food must give rise. Exactly twelve months ago, the prices of
yarns and goods were lower than anytime either before or
since, within the lasttwo years. The latter end of October,
1848, has always been referred to as the period of greatest de-
premien. The spinners and manufacturers had then a profit-
less trade, and, to a great extent, a losingone. In the present
year, however, we have had a demand of unuslal magnitude
for'both yarns and goods; and the risein price has of late been
very considerable. Yet, with all this, the position of producers,
except in certain branches, is not only no better but actually
worse than it was in October, 1848. 'The cause. of a %tate of
things so deeply to be deplored is, as every one knows who is
practically acquainted with such matters, the relatively greater
*rise -in the value of cotton than in that of the finished article.
ROCHDALE.—Thetannel market continues much the same
as it has been for two or three weeks back. The hands are in
full employment, and the manufacturers have no stocks on
band. There is• very liitle change in wool, either in price or
demand. Themanufacturers continue to buy only for imme-
diate use.
LEEDS.—A moderate amount of business has been done in
the woollen trade this week, and the trade presents no features
of change deserving notice. Generally the manufacturers con-
tinue well employed, and the stocks-of goods on hand are not
'heavy.

•131i.AnFoan.—Wool.: The transactions in wool have been of
a limited order, butfor low middle kinds the holders are firm.
The stock in the market is exceedingly abundant. 'Yarns:
There is no change in this department, which continues brisk
and firm in price. Pieces: The high prices sought for yarns
is acting as a complete drawback on the manufacturers ; for to
get an advance on goods is quite impossible ; and as the mer-
chants are not buying so freely as they were a few weeks past,
the inclination to make goods for stock is not at all cherished.
The disposition to allow looms to remain idle is on the in-
crease; and the business done this week suggests this course
as a necessary expedient.
HrYDDERSFIELD.—The attendance of buyers has been rather
numerous this week, but we have not hecrd of any heavy•sales.
It is t'he season when ,we do not expect much to be done. In
wools there is a slight decline, and it is acknowledged that the
results of the sales may be considered to show a lower tendency.
HALL FAX.—There was a slack attendance in our Piece Hall
on Saturday, and but few goods were sold. There is, however,
a fair -amount of business doing to ortler, and in •the ware-
houses. Prices remain stationary. The yarn trade continues
brisk,.at full late rates. Considerable sales-of wool have taken
place,•but without any change in the quotations.
