STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER.—The country trade houses are unusually busy
for a great many drapers have been here making their parcels,
for the spring. The spinners and manufacturers are complain-
ing that they cannot effect sales to any extent without giving
way in price, which some have dchre; but, stocks being still
light, and many working to order, no material change can be
noted. The printers were never known at this season of the
year co he so flat, and one or two extensive ones have stopped
several of their mach nes until a change takes place. Indeed,
we never remember the print trade to be worse, and every one
appears at a loss to account for it. Fustians and domestic
cloth still continue to sell better than printers, and at this we
are not surprised; for three or four years ago, when the heavy
fabrics were so depressed, many makers turned to lighter cloth,
which they have co. tinned to make ever since, so the makers
of heavy cloth are much more limited than they were. 21-inch
6's. 55 id to 5s 3d ; and 72's, is 4id to 5s gd.—Manchester Ad
vertiser, of Saturday.

LEEDS.—The markets in the Cloth Halls, on Saturday and
Tuesday last, were well attended by buyers. The goods which
still continue most in demand are those of a fine and mi dling
quality. In the warehouses the business done continues steady,
and prices firm. Stocks, generally, are low ; but the supply
horn the manufacturers is equal to the demand. In many in-
stances, however, the manutacturers are ma ing to carder.
BRADFoan.---The amount of goods disposed of at our market
on Thursday was tolerably lrrge. Manufacturers, however, as
well as spinners, complain that prices are scarcely remunera-
tive, owing to the high figure which Wool continues to main-
tain. Stocks of all kinds are low, and no reduction in the prices
of Wool can reasonably be expected until a supply of new comes
to market.

HUDDERSFIELD.—The demand for the staple manufacturers
of this town and neighbourhood continues brisk; and on Tues-
day the market was well a tended both by buyers and sellers,
and a proportionate large amount of business was transacted.
Ve flogs are not quite in so much demand as they were a month
back. No change in the price of wool.

11A
LlFAX.—There was an improvement in our market on Sa-
turday in demand for all kinds of light fancy goods suitable for
h me consumption, and also for Yarns. Wool is decidedly bet-
ter to sell. especially the finer sort of matchings, &c. Nulls and
brokers are selling at from ss. to 10s. per pack more this week
than for several months past.

WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET.—There is not the least variation
to notice in either the sh .rt or long wool trade from last week,
there is a moderate but not extensive business doing at former
rates.

ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET.—There is no improvement in
the piece market to-day ; the demand still continues limited,
and prices lower. Wool may be quoted rather stiffer to-day.
LEICESTER. —No alteration of importance to be noted in
wools and yarns The spring demand is improving, doubtless
in consequenc: of the fine weather; and a fair average business
Is expected in the course of a few weeks. For autumn goods
the demand is dull, and there are but few shl,ming orders.
Hosigav AND LACE TRADE.—The condition of the wrought
cotton hose yet keeps gradually improving, and there is no
want of employment amongst this extensive body of workmen ;
on tie other hand, the worsted hosiery trade is very much de-
press d. The cut-up cotton how: trade is very much amended.
and this branch was never much brisker in Nottingham.
fancy cotton hose branch is rather dull. The cotton glove trade
is in a very fair condition. The drawer and pantaloon branch
is as brisk as ever. The silk branches are yet very much de-
pressed; sthlwe think there is a slight change for the better in
he silk glove trade. The bobbin net trade is still in a tolerably
fair condition, though by no means brisk. Stocks are rather
lowering in th se machine-owners' hands who have held them,
which is not general. Wide I: rge pasterns are not in such de-
mand as the narrow breadths ; but it is now admitted that the
grounds of the fancy nets in general are inferior. The warp
lace trade, though at present of rather minor importance com-
pared with the bobbin-net, is still in full activity; the frames
are in general welt employed, the demand for cotton nets, espe-
cially in the East, being still good.—Nottingham Journal.
