STATE OF TRADE.

WIGAN.— During the week some of the manufacturers in thi
town have advanced the wages of their hand-loom weavers 3d
per cut of 6 yards. Trade is very brisk in every departmen
of the cotton branch, and a further advance of wages is gene
rally looked for.
•

',assns.—There has been a strong muster of metropolitan
buyers in the town since our last, and great activity has been
obseeved in the warehouses; the sales of all kinds of cloths
suitable for the fall trade bein of almost unparalleled extent.
The transactions in the cloth halls continue as extensive as the
stock will allow; the supply of fresh goods being small in con-
sequence of manufacturers being engaged snaking to order.

HUDDERSFIELD MAREET.—We had another animated market
on Tuesday, and nearly every new article produced that was
suitable for the winter trade was readily sold, most of the ma-
nufacturers being still engaged in making to order. The de-
mand for yarn, suitable for the Scotch shawl trade, was also
more brisk than it has heretofore been. Prices were firm.

ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET.—The market to-day has been
but dull, and the business transacted very limited. The wool
market has also been very quiet, with no change in prices.
Another failure of a small manufacturer is announced, and the
chief creditors are, as usual, the wool dea:ers.
BRADFORD NIA n ET.—There was a good attendance of mer-
chants at the market on Thursday; and most goods suitable
for the autumn trade met a ready sale, at firm prices, but the
transactions might have been more extensive if the assortments
had been better. For yarn there was a good demand, and prices
were fully equal to last week In the wool market the sales
were not so large as might have been expected from the dealings
in other commodities, but this may probably be owing to the
circumstances noted last week, as it was evident that the
spinners only bought to nraet existing wants.

HALIFAX MAnsET.—The market here on Saturday was brisk
both for goods and yain, and prices were firm. In the wool
market there was a fair business done, and prices were steady.
LEICESTER.—There is little change since last week, but
that little for the better. Wool and yarn remain the same.
The demand for all sorts of the season is brisk, especially in
leading or lower sorts, in some of which, we understand, the
demand exceeds the supply.—Leicester Chronicle.
HOSIERY AND LACE TRADES.—The situation of the cotton
hosiery trade is by no means improved, the hands being eonsi-
derably in want of employment; this applies equally to the
wrought and to the cut up branches. The silk glove branch,
though they have ventured to strike against the reduction of
their wages for cut thumb holes and rack f, ame rent, is in a
most deplorable state. There is a very singular strike in the
Nottingham trade, it being no other than the woolen-cloth
hands, who bare turned out to avoid a reduction of their prices.
It appears, that notwithstanding the manufacture is extending,
such is the temper of the times, that the master cannot avoid
nibbling at the wages. The warp lace trade is, if anything, ra-
ther declining, though several new manufactures have been
broached. Amongst the rest, is the making of velvet upon the
• arp frames, upon Tabberer's principle. The bobbin net trade,
if anything, is a shade improved, and laces with some difficulty
ca❑ be disposed of without much difficulty.—Nottingham
Journal.

MANcIIESTSR.—The demand for home consumption still con-
tinues active. Printers are so full of orders that there is much
difficulty in get.ing them to enter into contracts for early de-
livery. In the neighbourhood of Sabden, Accrington, Church,
Clitheroe' &c., the machine and block printers are more fully
employed than they have been for many years. During the
past week there has been a slight decline in the prices of 7-S
Printing Cloths, arising not so much from a falling off in demand
as from an apprehension that the production, which has been
recently greatly engaged, would lead to an excess of stock, at
soon as present contracts shall have run out. The manufacture
of these fabrics has been for some time a most profitably
occupation, and has led a large number of persons to turn to its
oduction has therefore rapidly kept pace with demand. We
quote 26 in. 64 reeds, as 3d, 27 in. 66's at 5s gd, and 27 in. 72's at
6s lid to 6s 7id per piece. The Yarn market 's exceedingiA
buoyant, prices being firm at the full rates. A large business is
being done, not only by buyers from India and the northern parts
of Europe, but also by manufacturers, for home consumption.
The buyers for the Mediterranean markets have been doing
nothing during the past fortnight. We understand that the
rates of insurance, and the danger of an outbreak of war,
which may result from the occupation of the po t of Mogador
by the French, will, for the present, deter shippers for Gibraltar
and the Levant from operating in this market. In any other
respect we do not believe the trade of this district is as yet
affected by the misunderstanding which is said to eXist between
the cabinets of London and Parisi
