STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER.-Out market has been quiet during the week,
with the exception of goods suitable for printing. Parties
forcing sales of 40 inch gold end 72 reed shirtings, are obliged
to submit to very low priees. Indeed, there is scarcely anything
doing in this description of cloth. We anticipate a further de-
mand for printing cloth, if we have tine weather for a few
weeks ; and the reduction in the American tariff for prints will
also have a tendency to improve them. 26-inch 60 reed print-
ers, 31b. 12ez. to 411). at 3s. td. to 45. ; 26-inch 66 reed printers,

little doing, and prices of some counts of mule twist have de-
Wined Is. Bd. to ls. 4d. during the week; for Water Twist there
is not much alteration t > notice.

ROCRDALE.—The Flannel market still continues inactive,
and the demand limited. Wool has undergone little variation,
either in price or quantity sold.

sns.—Both on Satu'rciay and to-day there were fewer goods
sold than has been the case for the last few weeks, at the Cloth
Halls, but there have been quite as many &livered to the mer-
chants direct from the country. Heavy goods calculated for
the winter trade, fancy cloakings in modern styles, and shawls,

are the principal articles in deniand, but fine and middle quali-
ties of cloth are dull of sale. Prices are without any alteration,
and in consequence of the quantity of goods that are delivering
to order, the stocks in the manufacturers' hands are lighter
than usual. There have been a few of the larger buyers in the
town this week, and business has, in consequence,
better in the warehouses.

H UDDE RS FIE LD.—We have had a great many buyers in town
to-day, and, although there was not, apparently, so much

doing in the Cloth Hall, still we must consider the market, on
the whole, to have been a good one. Stocks are• not heavy.
and there seems to be every probability of a steady trade for
some time to come. Prices are still very low.

HALIFAX.—The Hall was visited but sparingly with mer-
chants on Saturday> and but trifling business was transacted,
which consisted principally of light mixtures of cotton ancl-
worsted. The warehouses have been baths attended rinriDir

the week, and some extensive orders have been given for gocds-
of the best textures. The Wool trade remains in a dull state,
owing to the high price asked for it in the farmitg districts.
BRADFORD,—Our market is well supplied with all kinds of
combing Wools, and the business doing is barely an average,
as the prices are too high to induce the spinners to buy, except
to supply their immediate wants.—Yarn.—There is more doing
in all kinds of Yarns, and a disposition to buy for future de-
livery; but the prices current are so very low, that the spinners
could not realise prime cost, prior to the advance which is nova
being given on combing wages, and there is no disposition tO
sell, except at higher rates. In our Piece market the prospects
of an early-reaped and abundant harvest are very cheering,
and hold out great hopes for a good home trade for the autumn-
The accounts from the west are equally satisfactory; and the
passing of the reduced tariff and the bonded duties bill are
looked upon :.s high y beneficial • so that we may expect to be
busy throughout the winter. dur market to-day has been ac-
tive, and on some kinds of goods an advance has been given.
