STATE OF TRADE.

I,

252524

LANCASIIIRIL—The broad silk hand.loom weavers at Leigh,
F ilsworth, aliddleworth, and Manchester. are by no means as
brisk as is usually the case at this se s•.n of the year. Many r f
the handlo )m silk operative- have lately began to weave silk
goods by power, and t is very likely t• at a large portion of
goods will now be manufactured upon power-looms.—The silk
smallw4re trade is slack, and hands at ma,:y places are only
partially employed.—The trade in cotton factories in the same
districts is rather dull, and many masters intimate that unless an
alteration takes place, they will have to coin ence working
short t me. The cotton trade at Blackburn is dull ; there is very
little demand for manufactured goods, and prices are ve.-y low.
The trade in Yarns is dull, but the prices remain much the same
as they did a fortnight ago. Power-loom weavers, and other
factory-workers generally, are in full employment, but hand_
loom operatives are in. wretched circumstances, and have
scarcely half-employment. Calico block and machine printing
in the neighbourhoods of Church Pa ish, Accrington, and Os-
waldtwistle, are still very dull, but hopes are entertained that as
soon as the crn question is settled things will improve. The
hand-loom weavers in the same districts are in miserable el,
cumstances, on account of the scarcity of work and low wages.
MANCIIKSTRIt.—Business here, on the whole, has continued
i flat during the week, the transactions being of the most limited
extent, nidil Thursday, when there was rather more activit
and a fair amount of sales effected, but at very low prices. Iny, 40-inch G. E skirtings for India more has been doing, and in
some of the medium qualities prices have been advanced. Yarns
are dull, and prices drooping. As the money market is consi.
derably easier, and there is every likelihood now that the mi-
nisterial measures, relating to imports, will be carried success•
fully through both houses of parliament, manufacturers are
sanguine of an early revival of business, and they are therefore
much firmer in upholding prices. We quote to-day's currency
as follows :-26-inel: printers, 64 reeds, at 4s flit ; 2' inch, 65
reeds, at 4s 74d to 4s zfd; 72 reeds, at 5s to 5s 6d ; 361 inch, 11l
reed printers, at ss 3d ; 66 reeds at r.s 41c1 to as bald; q 3 reeda,
at 6s JO to 6s pd ; 40-inch G. shirtings, 64 reeds, at 73 gd to
8s 6d ; C 6 reeds, at 8s gd to gs 3d ; 72 reeds, at 93 6d to Os teed,
ROCIIDALn.—There has not been the least improvement in the
Flannel market last week • everything remains inactive, and
the sales have been limited. The wool market has also been
dull, and purchases for cash might have been bought at less
prices. The wool dealers have suffered much by the late fail-
ures, and it makes them very cautious in doing business on
credit.
LENDS.—A large amount of goods were sold in our Cloth
Halls on Saturday, at firm prices ; but the market oa Tuesday
was only slack. A tolerable amount of business has been done
in the warehouses; and the general aspect of our staple trade
is improving.
BttADFORD.—The business doing is very small; the Spinners
buying only for present use, and the quantity consuming is very
much diminished. Yet, notwithstanding all this long dullness,
tilere is not that giving way in price which most of the trade
might have expected from it. Noils and ltrokes are in steady
demand, with no stocks on hand, and late prices firmly main.
rained —Yarns : Each succeeding week only enables us to record
the continuance of an inanimate and unprofitable trade which is
fully developed by the large quantity of the totally idle, and par-
tially employed machinery, which is pressing very heavily on
our operations. And until something very d cided in the price
of yarns is manifested, we fear all hopes of extende.l operations
are distant.—Pieces: There was rather more inquiry on Thurs-
day, and perhaps on the whole more business done; and as
there is now a feeling that we shall not have war with our wes-
tern neighbours, we expect ere long to have the pleasure to re.
cord more animated doings. Thera is nothing different in
prices of any kind of goods.

YORK ANNUAL Assiza WOOL MARKET. MARCIE 12.—This
annual market has been tread to day. The little quantity of
wool shewn, the very few buyers in atte, dance, and the insig-
nificant quantity of business done, renders the whole tran,ac-
tions of the day so unimportant as not to merit a quotation of
prices. Indeed we never remember so meagre a York wool
market, nor need we wonder, when we take into account the
unprecedentedly depressed st.te of the worsted trade, which
has prevai•ed for the last twelve months without any immediate
prcspect of ,mendment. It is true beyond dou,,t a very small
quantity of old wool is in the growers' hands, but that small.
quantity is more than suilleie,it for p esent demand : hence the
languidness in the trade, and consequent depression of prices.,
There will be no more York wool markets, until the new clip
comes in.

HECEMONDWIEE BLANKET MARKET.—TIII', attendance of
buyers at this market stilt continues bad, and we see no pros-
pect of things getting better until there be some settlement of
atrairs with America.

NOTTINGHAM.—The C Iton hose trade can scarcely be said to
feel sensibly any effect from the approach of spring —The Cot-
ton glove branch has considerably revived. The drawer
branch is in rather a dull state.—The silk glove trade beeps im-
proving, and employment plentiful, though at a wry low rate
of wages, On the contrary, the silk hose manufacturer,
whether plain or knotted, is in a most deplorable condition.
The fancy bobbin-net trade is in a depressed st,te. though it is
asserted that considerable sales were made at the end of the
seek. The plain, Sr power-propelled facto' ies, making tra-
versec nets, are in a much bitter condition, and some of them
have commenced long hours.—The warp lace trade, with the
exception of the manufacture of a few articles, is in a stagnant
condition, numbers of good workmen being unemployed.
