STATE OF 'MALE.

MANCHESTER —There has been scarcely any fluctuation which
commands notice in the transactions of the week. The amount
of business done has been, from the causes referred to by us lest
week, limited in extent Even the intelligence f the passing of
the corn bill. which reached here yesterday about noon by
means of the Times express, has had no actual influence on the
state of trade, except in so f.r as regards establishing a more
cheerful tone. Indeed, at the great. r portio, of our principal
merchants' and manufacturers' establishments, flags and other
t stimonials of ',joking were displayed du trig the course of
yesterday afternoon. Prices may be quoted as follows.-26
inch 24 reed printers, 4s. 3d. to 4s. 41d. ; 27 Inch 66 reed dit; 0.
4s. 3,1. to 4.. ad. ; 27 inch 72 reed ditto. 4e gd. to 2s. ncl.; 36
inch 61 reed shirtings, 75. 6d. to Bs. ; 72 reed ditto, Bs. 10d. to
95. gd. ; 49 inch G. E Innis long cloths, 66 reeds, Bs. nd. to ps.,
72 ditto, gs. 6d. to gs gd.

LENDS.-But a moderate amount of business has been done
this week, either in the Cloth Flails or the warehouses. All par-
ties act with great caution : hence there is no accumulation of
stocks, and the business done is upon the " little, but safe and
sure' plan. The Corn and the New Tariff Bills having all but
become the law of the land, hopes are entertained of an imme-
diate impulse to trade ; but there h pes are blended with strong
fears that the acecssion of the Whigs to office will wcrk no good
to the trade and commErce of the country.

_ .
BRADFORD.—The various departments of our staple trade re.
main much the same as last week. Wools are plentiful, and
prices slightly on the decline. The demand for 3,rn is steady,
but not very extensive, The same may be said of piece goods.

HUDDERSFIELD.—We have no change of importance as to the
state of our staple trade to report this week. The manufactu-
reraare beginning to prepare fabrics for the autumn and winter
trade,
width, as we have previously stated, is anticipated will be
brisk, unless a general election should take p'ace, which as
all such events do, cause at least some check to the home trade.
HALIFAX.—Wools remain steady and in demand, at last
week's prices. In the-Piece Hall, the amount of purchases made
at our last market was but small for the season.
ROCHDALE.—The flannel market continues dull, and the busi-
ness transacted has been limited, Prices have undergone no
change since last week. In the Wool market there has been
very little doing, and prices remain firm.
HOSIERY AND LACE TRADES.—The cotton hosiery trade can
scarcely be considered worse ; the hands have in general some,
though in many cases not full employment. The cotton glove
trade la still in rather a flourishing condition, the hands in every
instance having full work, though at low wages. The silk stock-
ing trade is now scarcely ever mentioned, and is this week
worse than ever ; this once extensive manufacture in almost
every part of Europe being on the decline. The tancy bobbin
net trade is yet very dull. The warp lace trade in Nottingham
and Stapleford is not by any means amended ; it is, however.
rather upon the increase in London. In Leicester the lace trade
is extinct. though it once employed 20a frames. Still the looms
as are call. d are not id'e ; being turned to coarser gauges,
they they
yayre making Berlia web for gloves, and by various modifica-
tions, many other fancy articles; amongst the most prominent
fri demand is the worsted Jacquard Shawls.—Nottingham Jour,
