STATE OF TRADE.

MANCTIESTER.—The languor which has prevailed during the
month continues unabated at its close. Buyers limit their
operions to within the narrowest possible compass, whilst
spinners and manufacturers, on the other hand, are curtailing
production commensurately. The yarn market during the past '
week has been more dull than at any time during the previous
nine months. In goods little is doing, either for home con
T2m.ption or shi:•pin (except perhaps in long cl the for the

light, prices arc upluld. The protracted debates in parliament,
and the locking up in the bank of so much capital, abstracted
temporarily, from the purl), ses of commerce are producing the
most annoy embarrassments to the mercantile community
as well lire as elsewhere. Some relief must speedily be af-
forded, or extensive mischief will ensue. Prices remain nomi-
nally as last week, and only prompt cash will secure any abate-
ment on the e quotations:-26 in. Os reed printers, at 4s 4d to

LKEDS.—Our woollen markets lave been but moderately
supplied with goods this week bit' wi h quite enough to supply
the demand. Rather more has been done in the warehouses

than was done last week ; but, upon the whole, our merchants
are doing but a small amount of business for the season of the
year, and we cannot expect they will do more until the new
cc rnmercial tariff of the government is finally setled. especially
with the marked caution w th which almost all prudent trades.
men are now acting. Prices, however, of both u.anufactured
cloths and the raw material (wool) remain firm ; and without
stocks being materially on the increase, the manufacturers are
pretty well employed, though not to so full an extent as is desi-
rable ; a larger number of operatives being out of employment
than were cut in Feb, nary 1855.
iIUDDERSFIKLD. In our market on Tuesday. there was a
tolerably good demand for fancy goods suitable for the spring
tra• e. Fur plain goods and winter fabrics these was very little
inquiry, but upon the whole there was a lively market for the
season, b itti in the hill and warehouses. There cannot be a
doubt, hoe ever, that our trade would receive a fresh impulse,
if the new tariff question were settled.
HALIFAX.—III the Piece Hall business has been similar to
that of several weeks pa-t. Stocks are not heavy for the season,
and pric s withmt al erati ,n. Yarns are not on the increase.
The spinners act with caution in not making heavy purchases
lat the high price wool hears at present. There was no improve-
ment in the wool trade, and few sales were made; prices remain
1 the same. Nolles andhrokes are in good request. _ .

W•KRFtF.LD WOOl. MARKET.—The same causes that we no-
ticed last week still continue to exercise an unfavourable influ-
ence on the wool market, and causes little to be done. Prices
are still without alteration for either short or long wool.
BRADFORD.—WooI—The market continues in the same dul
sta,e which has p e ed for some weeks past. The transac-
tions are very limited. No doubt this (Lay he ascribed mainly
to the general s'oppage of machinery through the winter, and
which is still continued in prices we cannot n, to any change.

Yarns—The demand for yar s is rather improved. but the prices
remain below the cost of prcduction. Many respectable spin-
ning establishments are rot w rking more than tour days ner
I week, with a large numher of frames altogtther idle. Piece—
! There was an average attendance of buyers on Thursday, but
i not a viry large amount o I;ocds changed hands. Prices, it

anything, are slightly on the eecline
HECAMONLWINE 131-171/4}EXT MARKET.—This market has been
very slack this Week, the demand tot Lorne trade is unusually
small for the season, and prxes have receded a little since our

Roennai a —We had arother du'l market cn Mcnday. Prices
were in sc me instances a shade lower thin last week, whilst
wools and oilsjsmained the same. It is generally thought that
the present unalrtainty as to the corn.laws is injurious to the
flaw el trade.
HOSIERY AND LACE TRADES —The cotton hosiery branches
still continue in a very dull and depressed state, the workmen
being in many instances short of employment, and, as a matter
lit course, subject to many i npositions and petty peculations.
• The silk glove branch has suddenly recovered, and may be said
to he very brisk, hands being scarce. The fancy bobbin net
trade Ia yet in a most deplora,de condition. The power lace
fac cries, which principilly make plain traversed nets, have

,considerably rev ved, and are now vaorkinz the usual hours

1 The warp lace trade is still very dull, and many important
1 branches are nearly stagnant. The blond trade, where the
frames are worked by the hand, is in a very lamentable condi-
tion, mr,ny of the wn.kmen preferring making cutup hose,
ihowever lean the employment, to making silk lace. Where the
i Jacquard has been applied, it is in a rather better state ; but
