STATE OF TRADE.
MANCHESTER—The tineXpected Parge business done in Liver-
pool the whole of this week, namely. 7 ,000 bags of cotton sold
-ti five days, at an advance of id to td per lb. has caused our
• Manufacturers to demand even higher prices than last week for
their goods, and power-loom printers in all widths have been
sold freely at an advance of 3d to 4iti per piece, and nearly all
the makers refuse to sell more than one or two week's make, so
II confident do they appear that goods will recede for some months
1 to come. Although we are quite aware that the speculation in
1 Liverpool is the old game playing over again, there not being
t the most remote cause to warrant such wild business being done,
Yet we are of opinion that cotton will not go much lower for
some time to come. The difficulty of obtaining even three per
• cent. for money, with valid security, and the large amount
i known to be in the Bank of England, which is only kept back
Until the meeting of Perna., eat, when the directors will
ascertain what is to be done with their charter, force capitalists
to speculate in some kind of produce. Stocks of cloth still con-
tinue light, and the merchants and printeas are very shy at
t buying more than they require, so we hope and expest, if prces
t de not ramble higher, that we shall have a healthy business this
1 spring, for both here, in London, and in the country stocks were
never known to be higher, and the people being better em-
pioyedi will have more money to spend. Domestic manufac-
-6 turers have also advanced their cloths id per yard very
C generally, and so many makers have turned from this article to
lighter fabrics that we hope they will readily obtain the required
advance. 27. inch 60's may be quoted as 3d to 5s 6d; 66's
•
I 01 9d to 6s lid; and 27's, fls 4id to 68 lOid.—Advertiser.
LEEDS.—Our market for woollens still continues brisk, the
transactions in the Cloth Halls during the past week having
been fully equal to those of the week preceding, with every
S prospect of a continuance. There has also been a good business
t done in the warehouses, both for home consumption and for
export.
HUDDERSFIELD MARKET.—The market here on Tuesday was
considered brisk. There was a numerous attendance of mer-
I chants, who bought freely in fancy cloths of new patterns, be-
sides doing a fair business in articles of inferior quality. A large
portion of the business of the manufacturers is now doing to
c order,
r BRADFORD MARKET.—There was a good attendance of mer.
1 chants at market on Thursday last, who were evidently disposed
I to buy any thing that could be had at late rates, but were not
prepared to accede to the increased prices demanded by the ma.
nufacturers, consequent upon the advanced price of the raw
I materials. For Orleans Cloths, Paramattas, and the like de-
• scription of goods, some advance was conceded ; but for fancy
• fabrics and pieces made wholly of worsted, upon which the ad-
( Vance was necessarily greatest, no corresponding improvement
could be effected. A fair business was done in Yarns for imme.
diate delivery, but the spinners were slow to take orders for future delivery, even at a slight advance upon present prices,
' anticipating a Luther advance when the expected demand for
export shall commence. The inquiries for Combing Wools were
r increased, and the staplers, in consequence, asked higher prices,
justifying themselves by an alleged bareness of supply in the
farmers' hands, and the augmented terms required by those who
still hold stock. Better prices were in many places realized.
HALIFAX MARKET.—We had a pretty numerous attendance
I of buyers at this market on Saturday, and fully as much business
was done as on the preceding market-day, in all the lighter
[ goods suitable for the approaching season. The Wool-market
I Was brisk, and late prices fully realised.
• WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET.—In consequence of the ad-
vanced rates demanded by farmers, this market continues to be
thinly supplied with combing fleece Wools ; so that although
sales are by no means extensive, prices may be quoted about ten
shillings per pack higher than last week. We have more in-
quiry for low Blanket Wools.
HECKMONDWIKE BLANKET MARKET.-011 Monday and
Thursday there was a very good attendance of merchants, and a
Many orders were put oat for the American trade, at improved
Prices. The manufacturers still complain that they cannot
afford to take orders even at the present advance, owing to the
scarcity and high price of the raw material.
Rocnnaux FLANNEL MARKET.—Though there have not been
so many buyers in the market, we have had a very fair demand
for flannels at former prices. The Wool market has been brisk,
and prices are looking np.
HOSIERY LND LACE TRADHS.—It is rather discouraging to
state, considering that Christmas has passed, that the silk glove
branch has become again in a most depressed state, the major
part of the hands being almost in despair, conceiving that their
trade is lost, owing to the fraudulent methods of making the
gloves. The plain silk hose branch is not by any means better;
• and though it is known that the Chinese wear silk stockings, we i
hear nothing of orders from that quarter, the English-made hose
being far too light in weight of silk for that market. There is
no material change in the wrought cotton hose branch. The
cut-up cotton hose branch is not quite so brisk in Nottingham as
it has been for some time past . still it is brisk, and that descrip-
tion of goods are in good demand.—Nottingham Journal.
Larcasxma.—ln our last report we mentioned that in wools
and worsted yarns the tendency was still upwards, and the past
week has proved that such wes the case. Yarn has advanced a
half-penny in the pound, and another advance of the like sum is
expected in a day or two ; and even then it will not have ad.'
vanced in the same proportion that wool has done. On wool a
considerable advance has this week been asked, and in many
cases obtained : nor does this seem to be the result of any sud-
den movement. The letters from the largest houses all speak
of the demand and price as having steadily improved, and not
being likely to recede. Hitherto, from all that we have:heard,
the hosiers have not obtained any a vance at all corresponding
to the increase in the price of material above noted, if any; nor
is the demand, though tolerably brisk for the time of the year,
such as to enable them to say that they cannot sell at present
Prices. For the sake of the workmen, we wish they could.—
Leicester Chronicle.
