STATE OF TRADE

bi A NCI? ESTE

:n.—With a dull continued market we have
sin this week. Both manufacturers and spinners
inclination to accept reduced rates; and

iIIOWII -11[10

but witl

parted to the Market generally, as no attempt to obtain any
thing beyond the lower rates meets with the slightest success.
At the beginning of the week the export houses seemed to keep
studiously out of the market, and here offers were made they
were even below the lowest nominal rates, and only intended,
apparently, as_a test of the market. During yesterday and to-

. _
day there has been a slight improvement, apparently induced,
in the first instance, by the further decline in prices during the
week, and strengthened again, to-day, by the favourable aspect
of the news from Calcutta by the India mail. This improve-
ment is, however, only partial, and has had, EC) far, no effect
on producers generally. Yarns, with a continued absence of
animation, are further reduced in value for most sorts. The
demand for export is still very inconsiderable, and prices are
so low—for water yarns especially—as to entail serious loss on
the spinners. Manufacturers are cautious operators, and ge-
nerally obtain some concessions in all but the higher numbers
which still continue scarce and command full rates. The
further reduction in water yarns has induced rather more de-
mand from the German houses during the last day or two, and
India numbers, which have relatively held their way better
than most other sorts, are somewhat further improved by the
news to-day, in anticipation of the Overland Mail.

ROCIIDALE.—We had

o change in prices. In the wool
.n. 7, and prices have been sta-

tionary

-
LEEDS.—Woollen cloth manufacturers are demanding rather
higher prices than those of late, but not higher than the in-
creased price of wool justifies ; and though merchants are not
quite so brisk in their purchases, a good amount of business
continues to be done.

BRADFORD.—Wools.—There is hut little doing in any kind
of combing woo!, and prices are a shade in favour of the buyer.
Yarnc—The contracts for March admit but of a small change.

In some hands, where they have been above the market, they
are now 2d. to 6d. per gross lower, but generally the prices are
steady, and no stocks on hand. Pieces.—Dnring the month
there has been less activity, and goods have not been taken off

as produced, but now that the shippers are buying Leipsic
fair and other continental markets, more is doing again, am!
confidence is strong that prices will now improve.
HALlFAX.—Everything remains pretty much in the quiet
condition noted in our last report, which might, with truth, be
repeated, word for word, as respects Saturday's business in the
Piece Hall, and also as respects both the yarn and the wool
markets.

HUDDERSFIELD.--Our market continues brisk. The manu-
facturers are working for orders only.

MACCLESFlELD.—Manufacturers continue to effect sales of
goods freely, but there is some little complaint of prices not
being up to the mark, as compared with the raw material. Old
stocks are fast working out, and higher prices will have to be
paid, or production will be lessened. This applies also to the
thrown silk trade. The brokers' circulars, just issued, all con-
cur in prices being very firm for good and useful silks.

LANASHIRE.-Ltheirade in cotton mills at Rochdale, busy ;
Heywood and vicinities exceedingly dull, and this week, about
one-half of the mills in the above district have commenced
working three and four days per week. The trade in cotton
factories has a very dull appearance.
BRISTOL WooL FAIR, March 6.—There was an average quan-
tity of wool ordered, and the attendance of the trade more nu-
merous than usual; but as clips in the Down counties cannot
be bought of the growers under 28s. to 295. per tod, there is no
encouragement on the part of the staplers to sell at any reduc-
tion of prices. The buyers of short skin and down shorts are
eager in their purchases, and prices firm. It is quite clear that
in the southern districts of this country there is now a much
less quantity of wool than is usual at this period of the year,
acid a confidence obtains that when the stocks in the market
become reduced, it will be difficult, if not impossible, to replace
them at the present rates.
