MARKETS FOR MANUFACTURES,

MANCHESTER.—The operations in the Yarn market have
been anything but large, either for home use or for export.
For the former, prices are rather in favour of the buyer ;
whilst for descriptions for India, or for continental use,
buyers can, in some instances, do better to the extent of
about Id. per lb., but this only in cases where the Yarn is in
stock. For India there has been very little doing, and quite
as little for Germany, though both for the latter market and
the Mediterranean there is every probability of an extended
demand so soon as the Eastern question is assuredly settled.
In Goods there has been less doing than of late, but prices
are, with but few exceptions, very firm. Printing Cloths are
still in fair request. 36in. and 40in. Shirting& are quiet, so
much so, that some of the manufacturers are going off them.
T cloths, Longcloths, and Domestics are quiet, but very firm
ROCHDALE.—EngIish Wool is very firm, and rather more
inquired after.
Lamm—The same active state of business that has ruled
the Cloth trade still prevails. The markets have been brisk
at the Cloth halls, and goods of seasonable kinds sold readily ;
the business transactions out of the halls have also been to a
full average extent. Stocks are low—prices steady—and
Country Mills, as well as the fulfilling mills in the town, are
in full employment. The business done in the warehouses
has been over an average amount.
BRADFORD.—WooI: There is great difficulty in getting

altogether the trade is flat. N oils and brokes are without any
change.
Yarns : There is much complaining of the high

ice sought for Wool, compared with what can
for Yarns, and at no period has this branch of the trade been
more _disjointed than at present. Pieces : There is a fair`

but not average, business d

doing for August. The merchants

where orders run out, they want to renew on old terms, which
are impossible to be met, for on Cotton alone, since the spring,
the advance is a serious item. There is a strong feeling in
favour of lessening the quantity brought to market.

NOTTINGHA la. —Not w ithstanding the prevalence of fashion,
both at home and in America, for goods of Scotch manufac-
ture, there is still a good business doing in Lace goods, but,
principally, in those made of silk, while those fabricated of
Cotton are not in so much request; but so long as the fashion
is so decidedly in favour of muslin goods, we cannot expect
so much of a demand as to lead us to expect very remunera-
tive prices. Cotton is too high in price for those engaged in
this part of the trade to be able to obtain such a profit as
their expensive machinery would warrant. The Hosiery busi-
ness is in a prosperous condition, orders being still received
from most quarters, particularly the Australian colonies.
The price of Yarn is inconveniently high, and vendors of the
article will not concede one fraction.
LEICESTER.—Trade continues much as last reported.
There is an abundance of employment for all kinds, both in
the fancy and plain Hosiery branches. Prices of Wool and
Yarn as last week.

HALlFAX.—Scarcely any Worsted goods have cbanged
hands. There is an improved demand for Yarn; and the
buyers are giving out their orders more freely. The Wool
market is much the same as noted in our last; the prices
asked by the growers being higher than those realised by the

staplers.
HUDDERSPIELD.—Our market continues without altera-
tion, the supply being barely :equal to the demand. Prices
much the same.
