MANCHESTER.—Since our last trade has been languid, al-
though at cks are too light for prices to recede, and, conse-
quently, our market is in much the same state that we men-
tioned las, week. We have every reason to ant cipato a good
autumn trade, and never did things look better for the winter.
A brilliant harvest, manufacturers light of stock, and everything
they make yielding a good profit, the work-people, consequently,
in full employment, the money market easy, and little or no
gambling in commerce, these are all the circumstances from
which favourable omens may safely be drawn. Indeed, in our
opinion the state of trade in this district is more healthy and
natural than we have known it for years. The news from the
east is also, upon the wh le, satisfactory. and, we may add.
encouraging. The print trade is brisk, and producers of good
prints ware hardly ever known to be so busy. Block printers
are still difficult to obtain, which is rather an unusual thing.

--LZins.--ITlieWoollen trade in this district still continues ver
active, though in some branches there is not at pressnt quite so
much doing as lately. Many manufacturers a; e working to
order, and there is every probability of continued activity.
HUDDERSFIELD MARKET.—The fancy trade still continues
brisk ; and owing to so many manufacturers being empLyed
upon orders, the supply of new goods in the cloth hall continues
scanty. This defi :ieney has been increased, it is said, by se-
veral merchants having gone round among the clothiers and
bought up what was ready for market. There has not been,
however, any material augmentation of prices ; the large sup-
ply of wool at market having had a tendency to keep down the
figure.
HECKAIONDWIKE BLANKET MARKET.—We have but little that
is new to report of this market since our last; good samples
are readily bought up at a little advance in price, and merchants
complain that they cannot meet with a regular assortment of
blankets to supply the present demand.
Bitanrotto MARKET.—The demand for stuff goods is not
quite so active as it hAs been for some time past, so far as re-
gards the export trade ; yet there was a good attendance of mer-
chants at this market on Thursday. and with a brisk demand
for home consumption, a good deal of business was done. In
the yarn market there was no change worthy of note. Th.:
wool market was not remarkably animated and considering
that the stocks keep up prices. were very firm ; no doubt arising
fromva conviction in the minds of the staplers that they could
not be replaced on lower terms.
HALIFAx MARKET.—There was a good attendance of mer-
chants here on Saturday, and a large business was done in
coarse woollens and the heavier kinds of worsted goods, suit-
able fer the approaching season. The wool market was steady,
and there is no material change of prices for either goods or
wool.'

- _
ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET.—There has been a good de-
mand for the coarser kind of flannels, at prices the same as those
of former weeks. The finer sort of goods has been less inquired
for during these two or three preceding markets. Wools have
undergone very little change of late ; the demand continues
steady and prices firm. It is reported in the market to-day,
that there was a rather brisk demand for wool at the Bristol fair
last week, but no change from the present prices.
LEICESTER.—WooI and yarns remain stationery, and, though
we see that " farmers' lots" are " quoted at 378 psr tod on the
average," this must not he taken as a genet al rule. That price
may be asked ; but the real average price, we hear, ranges more
between SOs and 325. Trade is very good, however, the goods
now made being almost wholly for the winter home market, and
they are chiefly of the tower, or leading sorts. It may, indeed,
be mentioned, as a curious instance of the change that has been
gradually taking place in the character of our staple trade. that
while the narrow frames ( which are employed in making t:.e
higher sorts of goods) are now worth so little—the common
wide frames, in which the mass of low goods are made, have
within a comparatively short period increased from one third to
one-half in value.—Leicester Chronicle.
HOSIERY AND LACK ThADKS.—The silk. once the most ex-
tensive of the hosiery trades, seems gradually receding and dis-
appearing. 8,.t uo part or the national manufactures has had
such havoc made with It as the silk glove branch The trade
seems departing, as nothing can exceed the privations of many
of the workmen. The cotton lu•se branch has not by any means
improved. The drawer and pantaloon trade cannot be said to
be any worse • during the whole of the depression some of the
houses have kept all their frames going. The bobbin net trade
is, if anything, rather duller for pi- n and fancy articles ; fancy
nets are still somewhat depressed, though the moat elegant ar-
ticles are made from the Jacquard machines. A considerable
quantity of plain traversed nets and quillings have been sold
saw a considerable
latterly for the 1., ipsic fair, which is now approaching, and
causes the speculation in some measure to subside; it is, how-
ever, expected that the January fair will be an interesting one.
