STATE OF TRADE.

MANCEMSTER.—There has been a limited demand for printing
cloth during the past week, and prices are barely sustai..ed.
Offers have been made for considerable quantities of 4u-inch
shirings, but at prices which few would accept; and, on the
whole, very little business has been done. The frost has put a
stop to the purchasing of yarns for Germany; yarns for home
use are, consequently, duller. 27-inch tt's, 4s leid to 5s ;

vertsier.

Lk:ans.—The demand for winter cloths for home consumption
stilt continues, and many of the merchants are busily employed ;
but ,the demand for the continent has slackened iu consequence
of the cold weather having interrupted some of the modes of
transit. Considering the season there is a fair business doing.

HUDDERSFIRLD MARKET.—There was as good an attendance
of merchants at our market on Tuesday as could have been ex-
pected at this advanced period of the year ; yet though some of
them Lought freely anything that was offered in new styles, the
market was. on the whole, rather a flat one. Prices underwent

BaAnFoan MARKET.--There was a very good attendance of
merchants here on Thursday, and their purchases were more
extensive than on any market day for some weeks past, but the
manufacturers complained loudly of the prices realised. For
yarns there was a fair demand, and, as the spinners have reso-
lutely kept down the supply, by diminishing their hours of la-
bour, prices were firm. The wool market presente.l no new
feature, late prices being fully obtained, with a steady though
limited demand.

HALIFAX P4ARICET.—We had a large attendance of buyers at
market on Saturday, and a good deal of business was done in
the heavier fabrics, especially lastings, damasks, and moreens.
Both combing and blanket wools were in request, and prices
firm.

ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET.—The flannel market has
been very similar to the two preceding ones, and something
like an average qua..tity of business has been transacted at pre-
vious prices. There has been more inquiry after wool to-day ;
and some kinds. such as coils and long wool, have realised a
small advance in price.

LsiCKSTER —Wools and yarns remain about the same as last
week. Some of the country.houses are doing rather more, in
consequence of the colder weather, which we hope will prove to
have set in. 'The other branches of the trade continue depressed

HOSIERY AND LACE TRADES.—The distress in the machine
knitting manufactures is so far from decreasing that, upon the
whole, the hands are worse than they have been for some
months past. The drawer and pantaloon branch,. which is the
largest carried on .n Nottingham and the suburbs, is still in a
most depressed state, the frames being scarcely half employed.
The cotton glove branch is in the best condition of any in the
hosiery trade; still it is much and seriously depressed. The
silk hosiery trade has not, nor is it imagined hat it is likely, to
recover from its present depressed state. The bobbin.net lace
trade has become so seriously depressed that a perfect panic
has taken place araongst the manufacturers. some of whom, it
is asserted, contemplate a cessation or business for a period,
The warp lace trade is nearly In the same state it has been in for
several weeks past: the blonde being extremely depressed ; the
lap and press somewhat revived ; the tattings in rather a flou-
rishing condition.—Nottingham Journal.
