STATE OF TRADE

ne
MANCHESTER.—The general aspect of our market is still :_.4
of dulness. A moderate inquiry, indeed, exists for some cis s,,`„
of goods, but it is not generally accompanied with any import
taut amount of business. It is not yet possible to say IT—

has long prevailed. Yarns continue without change, no m
rial concession having been made in prices during the w.e!!:‘,
The amount of business doing is still limited. In goods tnFfi
has been less inclination to give way in prices than has been 1,
case for some time past. We cannot expect anything very
terially better in the market while our continental buyers
themselves obliged to operate on so small a scale, and the !,-,j
provement we may have will not be abrupt, but slow
gradual. otten'
ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET.—We have had aw. _,0117
dance in the flannel market this week, and trade exceao, t e
dull ; many of the small manufacturers had commenceos_As
hay harvest, and did not attend the market. Prices of all I,le
of goods are same as last report. No alteration has taken PI
in the wool market this week.
LEEDS.—There have not been many buyers in the a be
goods market this week. The expectancy that goods iv,,',,ecl6

BRADFORD.—WooI : There is no change for the bett'oei,
wool continues as depressed as ever. The consumption Co'

sales in Liverpool and Landon will tend to a further eleP boll'

day, has tended to diminish the quantity produced, 9Ps fro?,
production is now very low; the prices deter the spinners stew
working except to actual Order. Pieces - The improved nroe
of the weather gives a tone of cheerfulness. We baveuat`o the
