STATE OF TRADE

MANCHESTER.—Every thing this week appears to be dull, and
yet nq particular change has taken place either in the price of
yarns or goods, for spinners and manufacturers being light in
stock, and many working to order, they refuse to give way in
price, although 4+i-inch shirtings, suited for the East, are easier
to buy, and, in some inst ,nces, at 3d less than the extreme
rates current a week or tw., ago ; but the gre .test drug in the
market, at present, is 27-inch 72's. Domestic cloth still con-
tinues in good request, without any alteration in price. The
country houses and shippers are buying very little at present,
consequently the printers are unusually flat. The London
buyers are acting very cautiously; so, u on the whole, busi-
ness is very calm. We may quote 27 inch 66's, 5s lid to 5s 43d.,
and 72's 5s 6d to 5s I ; but 72's are difficult to sell at these
quotations.

Laans.—With the improvement which has taken place in the
weather this week, a corresponding spur has been given to the
staple trade of this town. Hence the amount of business done
has been rather above the average of that of the few preceding
weeks. The goods in most demand are those of t e middling
and finer qualities. Stocks are rather low, and prices firm.
BRADFORD.—There was a good amount of business transacted
in our market on Thursday, both for the home and the Atneli-
can trade, at firm prices. Not much has bee , done in the wool
market, the spinners barely supplying their wants, and com-
plaining of the high prices demanded by the staplers. A fair
demerit', for yarns, without any alteration in price.

HUDDERSFIELD.—Owing to the recent very large purchases
0' spring goods by the merchants, they apparently now enter-
tain slight fears that some of the goods may be left on their
hands; they therefore buy with caution, and on Tuesday our
market was less active than usual. Prices, however, remain
much,the same, and the stocks of spring goods are low. Some
of the manufacturers are already dire< ting their attention to the
manufacture of goods suitable to the autumn trade.
HECKMONDWIKE BLANKET MARKET.—The attendance of
merchants at this market on Monday was good, the amount of
business transacted by sample was not great, but we under-
stand some considerable orders were put out for exportation.
Thursday's market was flat.

HALIFAX.—A fair demand, at steady prices, was experienced
for mixed goods in our market on Saturday; and the same may
be said of the trade in wool.

ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET.—There is no improvement in
the market to report to-day. The demand still continues very
limitsd, and prices ruinously low. The wool market has been
quite as dull as that for flannels: and there seems no desire, on
the part of the manufacturers, to purchase, except for immedi-
ate use.

HOSIERY AND LACE TRADES.—The condition of the wrought
cotton-hose hands still improves, and they are now fully em-
ployed. Still the wages are very low, as 30-guage hose are now
made for eight shillings a dozen : in 1814 twenty shillings were
paid for the same work. The cut-up hose branches, which are
of several kinds, have equally improved with the principal
branch of the cotton-hose trade. The cotton-glove trade is in
a very fair state of demand. This manufacture has at length
reached Sutton-in-Ashfield, where a considerable quantity is
made: hitherto the principal seats have been at Bulwell and
Leicester. The silk knotted trade is in a most deplorable and
wretched state, some of the ablest and best hands having had no
employment for six weeks. The drawer and pantaloon branch
has so much improved, that the hands have been soliciting the
hosiers for an advance of wages, varying from sixpence to nine-
pence per dozen upon the respective articles. They unanimously
admit the demand:is good; but with a caurci is policy which has
always characterised them, they all decline to set the generous
example, under the pretext that the other firms perhaps would
not follow them. The bobbin-net trade is still in a good condi-
lion as regards the demand for the greater part of the fancy ar-
ticles produced ; still there are many exceptions; some descrip-
tions of laces are a mere drug; but hopes are entertained of a
speedy improvement, espet ially for good fancy articles, though
of inferior patterns. The warp-lace trade is still in a healthy
state as respects employment, the hands having full work ; the
silk branch, however. (with the exception of the Jacquered-made
laces,) is the most depressed.—Nottingham Journal.

NEW SHOPS.—Our attention was called a few days
ago to the commodious shops that have been lately erected
in Great Charlotte-street, a neighbourhood that bids fair
to be ultimately one of the leading business streets in
town; and we could not but admire many, more particu-
larly those built by Mr. Tilton, which combine every mo-
dern improvement. One of them, as will be seen by an
advertisement in another column, has been opened as the
Golden Liver,—au extensive millinery depiit, with a stock
that will be justly estimated by our fair readers, and is
fitted interiorly in a most chaste and harmonious style,
principally by painting imitative of the style of carving in
the reign of Louis XII, which being of a halt character
are considerably more effective than ordinary decorations.
Over this and the adjoining shop are the Parthenon Rooms.
