STATE OF TRADE‘

MANTC the t • RESTER.—The tohilnercial news from China
rnmesS of cotton at Liverpool, and the continued easiness
of s'..
of 4," e.`tbarket hate given an unexpected (at this season
printers Year) impetus to trade since our last report, and 27-inch
v.alters hate sold freely at last week's rates, and, in some in-
'lances, lid per piece advance may be quoted; indeed, many
'f;rufato
ct 'srm refuse to sell un ess they can obtain higher rates,
they contend that so many makers have turned from print-
cloth goods suited for the east that in a few weeks they
be `scarce. Domestics continue dull, although we expect
„ah„,l)rovement soon in this description of cloth, so many
IC,risoturers having Ceased to make them. The yarn market
ihi".2!le buoyant, and prices are steady. The printers are very
lin• "h machine work, but block printers are busy, and go d
,nts and de.laines are in request, at paying prices. 27-inch

fair demand for muslins at Blackburn : prices are much the
at!'ine• . Fine fancy goods are in moderate', quest. Low deecrip-

tail'aps—The markets since our last have been rather brisk
than
otherwise. especially for goods adapted for home con-
sumption. There has been more business done of late in fine
cloths for suu.mer wear than for some time previously ; and
there is now an active demand for white cloths suitable to the
Me), trade.
13a.snvORD MAR !MT.—There was a tolerably good attendance
nri chants, but their purchases of piece goods we a some-
atlimited, and prices were not particularly firm. The Yarn
nrket was much the same as last week, no material change
t'ejog noticed. For the better kind of Combing Wools there was
freely, it a. slack demand ; and though Noils and Brokes sold more

arises as good as for some weeks past, and
and underwent a litt e change. The Wool market was dull,

WAUPIELD WOW, MA MEET.— The long wool trade continues
1.? a state of almost total inactivity, and prices are nominal. In
Short Wools for blanket purposes a few sales have been effected
at former quotations.

ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET.—In the flannel market there
has been something like an average quantity of business trans-
acted, at former prices. The wool market has been remarkably
quiet, and p%ices the same as last week.

Limas/TA —The wool mark"t is firm ; and there is a very
fair amount of business doing in yarns. There is a good demand
for lower sorts, and als for fancy articles. On cotton Berlin
(the material for which is made in warp-looms) an advance of
la. per .pound has been given.— Leiceskr Chronicle.
tIOeItERY AND LACE TRADES.—The wrought cotton hose
branch has at length felt a little of the stimulus arising out of
the sizing trade, and has again rallied, so that there is every
reason to think it will maintain its position for some time, as it
stood well through the winter. The cotton cut up branch is
in a state of great agitation. The cotton glove branch is
► brisk, and is rapidly extending. There is no visible im-
f_rFwearnent in any of the four silk branches : they seem to a cer
