STATE OF TRADE.

MA NCHESTER.—Our market still continues to present a dis-
couraging and unfavourable aspect. Although there has been
considerably more inquiry this week, and a greater amount of
business done than formany previous weeks,arisen yet this has ‘.
mainly from the fact, that rates have approximated more nearly
to what they were before the recent rise in the price of the raw
material. Buyers have, in consequence, been more, inclined to
give out such orders as they had on hand at or near the old
limits. The business transacted has been, as a general rule,
accompanied with much loss to producers. Indeed, they find
it quite impossible to effect sales, except by very serious con-
cessions in price. So far, therefore, as the interests of spinners
and manufacturers are concerned, we are compelled to consider
this week as anything but a favourable one. At its commence,
mentthere was noticeable a slight increase of confidence, but
as the week advanced this feeling has rather declined. Domes- -
tics and T cloths, and the lower numbers of yarns, have been
very languid. The business effected has been principally ire
slurtings, printing-cloths, and yarns of the higher numbers.
Orders to a fair amount have been received by the Hibernia,
but theST are not such as to in uence the market in any sensible
degree. The great demand for the agricultural products of the
United States must, however, ere long, lead to an increased
consumption of our manufactures, strengthen the friendly re-
I lations between the two countries, and tend to secure a regular
I and permanent interchange of products highly beneficial to the
interests of both nations. In this .way, a great lasting good
may indirectly flow from that scarcity of food which has corn-
, pelled us to resort to America for the supply of our deficiencies...
ROCHDALE.—AIthough we have had a moderate attendance
in the Flannel market this week, it has been one of the dullest
markets we have witnessed for some thne, and in many in-
stances manufacturers were obliged to submit to a small re-
duction in price. The -Wool market was also dull, and but-
I very little business was transacted. Prices were the same as ,
last week.

LEEDS.—The Woollen trade continues 'in the same languid
state which we have for sometime had to record; and the long-
anticipated demand for Woollen goods for the foreign market
(cOnsecitent, as it was predicted by sanguine free-traders it
would be, on the passing of their favourite measure,) has not
yet arrived,—" Hope deferred waking the heart sick ; " hence
we are not surprised to hear that some of the German houses
in the Woollen stuff trade, in the West Riding; whose opera-
tions have hitherto been confined to the foreign market, are
about to launch into the home trade, their last year's transac-
tions abroad having paid but a very trifling interest upon their
invested capital. From the careful manner in which both
merchants and manufacturers conduct their business, the
stocks at present are lower than might be expected, but the
prices of goods are barely remunerative. Indeed there is no
doubt that some of
,the. manufacturers are running their ma-
chinery at a loss to themselves, in the hope that trade wilt
soon mend, and with a commendable desire not to throw large
bodies of the Operative classes out of employ in these "try-
ing: times,"

haying no' ether source left to flee to. The export houses are-
doing a shade more; and now that the frost is gone, it is gene-
rally expected they will be more active. Prices for all-kinds
are firmly maintained. Piece.—The commercial accounts by
the recent arrival of the Hibernia are represented as being very
favourable for business, and good orders have come over for
goods made in this district, which niay assist to remove the
gloom now hanging over the trade, and keep the market ani-
mated, while the German buyers and home trade houses are
less active. *
HunnElisrintre—There have been a good many buyers
here this week ; but as they buy only to supply their immediate,
wants, the effect produced is not so great as on ordinary occa-
sions. lathe Cloth Hall, trade has been very flat, the state of
the corn market casting a damp upon everything. Prices are
still extremely low.
NOTTINOII AM .-4.ce.—There has been more selling in each
department since our last, than during any preceding weeds
this year. Prices are firm, and the supply of plain nets
qUillings, and heavy fancies is diminished. A similar demand,
and without increased supply for the next month, 'would of
necessity clear the market of stock, and bring things into a
very healthy state. Hosiery.--There maybe noticed this week
a shade of improvement in sonic of the branches of the trade,.
in great measure owing to the very satisfactory news brought
by the last steamer from America. Considerably more -orders
have been .given out by the shippers, under the impression
that there would be a scarcity of some descriptions of 'goods;
the exportation of hosiery goods the last season having been
far below the average of former years. The home trade re-
mains this month in a very quiet state. rincipally owing to
the, great amount of business transacted in the month of
January; so that the factors are not prepared to purchase so
freely, not having cleared oft' their purchases. yarns are firm,
with a coasiderable amount of business doing.—Nottingham
Mercury. ' •
LElcEsTan.—Both the country and London markets con-
, thine very fiat. The late severe weather has cleared out the
winter goods in the retailer's hands, which'' though it has kept
• them-back from making their spring purchases, will have sup-
plied funds for that purpose, their trade being in a -very healthy
state. Inquiries are making about shipping goods, and a few
. orders have been received. Worsted Yarns are dull of sale.
and some Mills are working. short time. Wools are flat, and
a shade lower in price.—Leiccsier Journal: •

UNIQUE SPECIMEN OF NEEDLEiVORK.—We had yes-
terday the pleasure of privately viewing a specimen of
needlework, intended as a present to her most gracious
.Majesty the-Queen, at the establishment of Mr. Lazarus
of Bold-street, which will bear comparison with any simi-
lar work extant ; indeed, we believe it far surpasses
anything hitherto attempted in this country. The design
is exceedingly effective. In the foreground, beautifidly
relieved, is a:King Charles spaniel -(a likeness of one of
the royal favourities), and, immediately behind, a deeply
inoulded'. pedestal, over which is peering; in grace-
ful beauty of nature, a gigantic group of flowers, of the
most brilliant, but harmonizing colours. The distance is
filled in with a softened but effective' view of Windsor
Castle. The work is executed- on a piece of silk
canvas, wholly with Berlinwool, and has occupied nearly
three years in completion. The great perfection to which
this production Is brought, renders It rather a work
of art than one of mechanical skill, for throughout
there is
.as. Mitch regard paid to true colouring
'and
composition drawing as is requisite in, produ-
cing a fine painting--indeed all who view it are com-
pletely astonished. We miderstand that Mr. Lazarus has
kindly offered to present it to the Queen, and that her
Majesty, through Lord Sandon, has been graciously
pleased to accept it ; but the ladies will be glad `to learn
' that prior to its being sent from Liverpool Mr.. Lazarus
will have an exhibition of the choice specimens of needle..
work, With:which his establishment abounds,' and that on
one of the days selected for that exhibition this rare and
'exquisite piece will decorate the walls.
HMI! LIFE- IN KENTUCKY.—From a work named
". Echoes from the (American) Backwoods," we take the
following amusing anecdote Some good stories we
have illustrative of high life in Kentucky. A man who
had feasted his eyes upon a fair lady's graceful form, and
followed her through the mazy 'dance, at last ejaculated-
with great emphasis--` By Jams ! that gal's worth spoons,
so I guess dance with her.' On the conclusion of the
set, the yentkman's :elf-introduction ran as follows—
' Miss; will you dance with: use 01i the young lady's
