STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER.—The improvement which showed itself on
Tuesday has since been fairly maintained on the whole, and
may be thus summed up :—Producers have demanded an ad-
vance of price upon most kinds of yarns, and also upon such
goods as are in request. To a small extent, merchants have
acceded to this demand, particularly in certain articles for In-
dia and China, such as wide shirtings and 40's, 50's, and CO's
mule twist. The operations for those markets have been very
considerable, especially in cloth; while for some of the Ameri-
can and other foreign markets, a fair amount of purchases may
be reported. The German houses have paid a trifle more for
yarns than they did a week ago • but, in doing this, they have
confined themselves to the supply of immediate wants, which,
in consequence of their previous extensive purchases, have lain
within a narrow compass. With their ports hermetically sealed
by Denmark, and their warehouses in this city crammed
almost to overflowing, while large accumulations are lying in
Hull, they have prudently bought only smaa parcels to be for-
warded by the cirzuitous and more expensive routes. There
has been a somewhat increased call for water twist, up to 20's.
en foreign account, but without any further amendment in
price than a more easy attainment of previous limits. Spin-
ners for home manufacture have sold more freely than of late,
and on rather better terms. We find makers of heavy domes-
tics who have effected sales of some extent, though at the pre-
viously depressed rates. Long cloths and T's have been but
partially inquired after. For printing cloths, there has been a
pretty good demand, and they are scarce, and decidedly firm.
ROCIIDALE.—We have had another dull market, and very
few persons in attendance. The demand for all descriptions of
goods was limited. Prices much the same as on this day week.
The wool market has been fiat, and prices rather lower.
LEEDS.—The woollen cloth markets have been rather dull
this week ; but there is no particular feature of change to no-
tice. Upon the whole a full average business for the season is
doing.
BRADFORD.—WODIS.—With a full supply of all kinds of
Combing Wools in the market, and with the prospect of a most
abundant clip, the spinners buy only sparingly. :Foils and
brokes are sold as made, at late prices. Yarns.—There i s ra-
ther more doing for shipping; the supply going into home con-
sumption, and for delaines, keeps pace with the production,
and keeps prices steady. Pieces.—The very luxuriant weather
is giving a tone of confidence to trade. Goods suitable for the
autumn trade are more treely bought,and of Cobourgs and Or-
leans the stocks are very low, and prices firm.
HALlFAX.—Neither in plain nor figured worsted goods is
there any change for the better, either as regards demand or
price. In yarns, there is more doing for export, the shipping
houses having given out their orders more freely, but prices are
rather drooping. Wool is inactive, and the quotations have
still a downward tendency.
HUDDERSFIELD.- A fair amount of business continued to
be clone, and several orders in hand are waiting for con!pletion.
The holidays of last week caused the warehouses to be rather
dull. The wool market is steady, and some sorts are a little
improved in price.
