STATE OF TRADE.

•
MANCHESTER,—We are unable to note any improvement
during the week. The uncertainty that prevailed up to yester-
day as to the opening of the ports, and the advance of interest
by the Bank of England, has been sensibly felt in this market.
Prices have somewhat declined, but' are only submitted to
under peculiar circumstances. At Liverpool the trade demand
continues of the most limited character. Yarns are also in
slack demand, and at a downward tendency.--Foreign Pro-
duce Market, Jam 22.-n-The market for Sugar has been in a
very excited state since the Government measures for ad-
mission of Sugar into distilleries was shadowed forth in the
Queen's speech on Tuesday, and a further advance of 2s. to 3s.
per cwt. has been established on most descriptions. Holders
are keeping back their stocks, and only a limited business has
been done. Refined Sugars and Treacle are dearer in conse-
quence, with but little offering. No sales are reported as hav-
ing been made in Currants, but quotations are unchanged. In
Tea but little is doing.—The Silk market has undergone little
or no change, but holders are firm.—There has been only a
moderate business done in Cotton this week, and prices are
quoted id. lower than they were at the late highest point.
Spinners will find it impossible to go on producing, without a
very material advance takes place in the value of goods and yarn,
and we may very reasonably conclude that the price of the raw
material has seen its highest point, and will soon be down to
its proper value. _ _ _

ROCHDALE. There has been but few buyers in the market
to-day; and, on account of the last being what is called the
Christmas or new market week,- very few pieces have been
offered for sale. There has been a very flat Wool market, little
doing, and prices stationary.
HUD D E RS F I E LD.—There is little improvement in our market
to-day, and although there have have been a good many buyers
in the town, there has not been a great deal doing in the ware-
holises. Prices much the same.

i
LEEDS.—Both Saturday and to-day have been d markets
at our Cloth Halls; there however continue to betty large
' deliveries off the market days, mainly thin goons for the
eastern market. Prices are tat, and the stocks on hand are
by no means larger than usual at this period of the year.
•Business is also dull in the warehouses; there have been a few
buyers in the town during the week, but their purchases are
light. The foreign houses are moving a !ittle.
HALIFAX.—As regards the piece trade, both in plain and
fancy goods,_ we are compelled to repeat, from week to week,
in vaned phraseology, the same weary tale of extremely limited
demand and exceedingly low prices. If there be any change
to notice, it is that fewer goods have been sold in the hall to-
day than this day week. In the Yarn trade production is
furffier curtailed. All old orders are rapidly being completed ;
. and, as the price of Wool will not allow of their being repeated
at old prices, the situation of the spinners is rendered worse.
Not much Wool of any kind has changed hands during the
last week; and a decided check has been given to the buoyancy
of the market.

BRA DFOR D.—Wool Market.—There is but little doing in any
kind of combing Wool, which is entirely attributable to the
price demanded being too high to enable.the spinners to realise
prime cost, and the inclination to buy is materially checked in
consequence. Brokes and toils are ready sale, without change
in prices. Yarn Market.—This branch of our trade still con-
tinues in that depressed state which we have for some time
past alluded to. Wool continues to demand a price far too
high to enable the spinners to keep their machinery even
partially employed, and as this is usually a dull period with
the shippers, whose purchases are now limited, no general ad-
vance can be established, although low qualities, from 28's to
36's, continue in good request, and no stock in the market.
Piece Market.—The demand continues very steady, and with-
out any alteration in prices. Low Orleans are more sought
atter, and the supply in the market is not abundant. Moreens
