STATE OF TRADE.

M NC HESTER.—We are glacho state that there wasa decided
improvement iu business at the market yesterday, in the demand
both for goods and yarns; and on several descriptions of goods,
particularly on shirtings, an advance of from 3d. to lid. per
piece was very readily obtained. Indeed business generally was
decidedly more brisk than is usual at this period of the year.—
failure of some magnitude has been announced within a few
days ; but ;tot being connected with the staple trade of the town,
it has not produced flinch sensation.—Guardian.
ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, DEC. 12.—The
Market has been rather dull, and the goods sold have been at
Prices somewhat lower than those of the previous week. Wool
has maintained its price to-day,. and, in some cases, a few shil-
lings per pack more, have been obtained. At this tune of the
year the flannel business is generally dull, the winter orders
being chiefly executed by the beginning of Dec. The last year
was an exception, the trade being brisk through the whole of
the winter. ,At present, though the stocks on hand are very
light, many of the manufacturers are not giving out full work,
" on account of the many countermanded ordersz and the very
prevalent expectation that wool will be lower in price. It will
yet admit iif a considerable reduction, for pieces are selling for
Seven, or eight shillings a couple less at the present time, than
they were six or seven weeks since. The flannel business is
greatly en the increase in this town. There are at present no
fewer than three woollen factories building, two of which are
dearly ready for machinery; tkese will Oecation au increased
demand for labour though all hands are now pretty well em-
ployed.

THE TURN-OUT OF SPINNERS AT OLDHAM.—There is no
Change to notice ifi tlit turn-out at Oldham. The Men all con•
tinnd Out, and no advances have been made towards and ac-
ccitntnilation of the differences existing between them and their
employers.
os SPINNERS AT PRESTON.—We are glad to
learn, and we believe from good authority, that there is now
some prospect of a speedy termination of this dispute; many
of the woik-people having begun to regret that it
,had ever
commenced; and We believe some negociations are now on foot
between them and their employers.
.THE IRoN TRADE.—At a meeting of the Welsh iron-mas-
ters, held at Newport on the 3d instant, it was determined to
blow out twenty-one furnaces in South Wales, and otherwise
to reduce the make one-fifth, from the 15th instant to the 31st
March, 1837. The Scotch iron-masters came to a similar reso-
lution at their meeting on Wednesday week; so that including
the twenty-nine furnaces already out of blast in Staffordshire
and Shropshire, there will be no fewer than sixty furnaces ex-
tioguished, for three months certain, in the various parts of the
kingdom . and a consequent reduction in the quantity of iron
produced of about 450t1 tons per week.

TIIE BIRMINGH 451 COLLIERS.—A temporary cessation in
the working of the coal mines in this neighbourhood has taken
place, in cotiseqnence of the opalmasters having found it neces-
sary to make a slight reduction in the rate Of wages. It Kill be
recollected that a rise took plate a few months ago, and it is nut
expected that the reduction will be resisted beyond a day or two.

HERRING FfSiiEßY.—The result of the herriii fishery in
Seotland for the summer of 1836 is now nearly ascertitined, and
we regret to state that the take has been Much under an average
eiie. It is one-third less than that of the last year.

WHIG To LEit ATION.—The Rev. H. Maberly, curate of Bourn,
has been disinisSed from his curacy by the BishOp of Ely. Mr.
Maberly has been getting up petitions against the 'lei,/ poor
laws, Which appear to have given great offence to the ministets.
Lord Jithn RuSsell *rote to the Bishop Of Ellr, deSiring that
prelate to admonish Mr. Moberly for exciting agitation against
a lacy Cot the land, which was accordingly Butte by the Bishop.
Mr. Idaberly asserted his right to disapprove of a. measure that
.tended to the injury of the poor and helpless, and to seek every-
legal and 'constitutithial ineana for its repeal, and continned tb
hold meetings againit the poor laws. The result has been His
dismissal from the ctirracy!‘—North Ifaleg Chronicle.
