STATE OF TRADE

MANCIIESTER.—AS will he easily imazined, owing to the
holiday which is now so general throughout these districts,
there has been hut little doing since Tuesday. The feeling on
the part of the manufacturers appears to be to demand higher
rat,. ' for twist and -• " 'l, unless their demands are

b;itri . cioth, anu.
acceded to, no sales can be effected.
Recut:ALE.— We have had rather snore business doing on
Mon•'ay, and prices a shade better than last week. The Wool
market has been stem y, and prices firm.
Lks:Ds.—As will doubtless be generally anticipated, we have
this week to report that but a sma I amount of business has
been done both at the nub is Cloth Halls and the warehouses.
The occurrence of Whitsuntide holidays always causes both
buyers and se.lers to be less active than at other times. Stocks
are considerably below the average at this period, and a good
autumn trade is confidently expected.
HECHAIONDWIKK —The annual meeting of the shareholders
in the Blanket Hall took place on Islonday, and neither on that
day nor on Thursday was their much business transacted.
Briallroan.- Considering that this is W hitsurstide, there was
rather a brisk market for piece goods on Thursday. and the
quantity which changed hands was more than the average of
the last few weeks. The Yarn department is improving, there
being a better demand for Yarns as well for the foreign as the
home market. No change in the Wool trade; large supplies
have conic to hand from the recent London sales, so that the
market is well stocked. The fine weatto!r and other favourable
circumstance,. are likely to render the home clip good in
quality and condition.
liunnsaspiiii.n.—Our merchants are busy preparing new
styles for the autumn trade, which, it is hoped and expected
will be a good one, aid merchants buying but to supply present
wants, renders our staple trade rather dull. Kerseys continue
to meet with tolerable sale, at recent prices.
NOTTINGTIAM.—AIthough this has been, as usual, the week
of the greatest holiday in the year, yet as many goods will leave
the market as during any one of several preceding weeks.
Brown goods are universally heavy sale, owing to the buyers
for flushing having no confide:ice in prices. The arrange-
ments for an important reduction in quantity, by the stoppage
of machines, are now pretty generally coming into operation ;
and in the course of another week or two, things will no doubt
assume a more healthy aspect. If the fini,liers of goods are
to execute any orders at all, they must buy brown goods, as
they have scarcely any on hand, ether rough or dressed, of
ordinary kinds and qualities. Prices of plain nets have seen their
lowest figure. Ccps and Yarns are more in demand for York-
shire, and msintain the r prices here.—Nottingham Mercury.
LRICKSTER.—Being a holiday week, there has been but little
doing in the warehouses. In consequence o f the war between
America and Mexico, several counterman's of orders for the
former market have been received. Worsted Yarns, have risen
a halfpenny per fb. Wools axe in demand at better prices, and
combing skin !tool is scarce at a higher value.
