STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHEBTER.—We have more doing, this week, in printing
cloth, and the general opinion appears to be, that cloth is at
the lowest. The printers are making contracts for the anturnn,
and the Greeks are also operating freely; and, stocks not
being heavy, we are of opinion that houses may buy without
fear of cloth going lower for some months. The printers have
been very flat for some time, which has caused madder to re-
cede considerably from the very h gh point it was a few months
ago ; but for the last day or two a visible change for the better
may be noted, and this article, we think, will settle down at
about the price it is. 27-inch 66's, 4s. 10Id. to ss. 3d. ; and 72's,
Ls. 4d. to ss. 3d.—Manchester Advertiser.
Lana.—The sales of the week, in the warehouses, as well
as in the Cloth Halls, have been under the average of the past
month ; but there is no apparent feature of decline in the
amount of employment afforded by the manufacturers. Stocks
are generally low, and prices steady. Indeed the latter for
goods of low quality are slightly on the advance, which cir-
cumstance, coupled with the occurrence of the wool sales in
Loud n, will account for the amount of business dote being
rather less than usual. Contrary to the hopes, if not the ex-
pectations of the manufacturers, wool continues to fetch high
prices; and an advance in the price of cloths may be looked
for.

BRADFORD.—On Thursday, there was a good stroke of busi
ness done in Orleans, Coburgs, and low Merinos, at firm prices
but the fancy goods manufacturers complain that they are not
obtaining adequate remuneration for their capital. Wools con_
tinue high in price, but the sales have only been scanty
our last. The coming clip is not likely to be an average one,
and the staplers hold firm. Yarns remain without any altera-
tion.

HUDDERSFIELD —The staple trade of this town and distric'
continues prosperous; but the purchases made during the
week have not been to a very large amount. The raw material
has slightly advanced in price.
HALIFAX.—We cannot report anything fresh in the state of
the manufactures here. The demand for finished goods con-
tinues about equal to the supply ; and for the raw material the
prices are advancing.

ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARNET.—There has been a fair de-
mand for flannels to-day (Monday), and rather better prices
have been obtained. Though there have been but few buyers
in the market, those few have purchased very freely. The wool
market has been rather slack, but prices remain firm.

HOSIERY AND LACE TRADES—The condition of the wrozight
cotton hose branch is still declining; this may, in a great mea-
sure, be attributed to the time of the year, the stock for the
summer trade being laid in by most of the retail dealers. The
drawer and pantaloon branch, the plain silk and silk knotted
branches, and the fancy bobbin-net trades are still extremely
depressed. The warp blonde branch, after being for a long
time depressed, has much recovered, and, we had almost said,
has become brisk. The lap-and-press branch is depressed nearly
equally with the fancy bobbin-net trade; on the other hand,
the warp cotton laces, though coming into immediate compe-
tition with fancy bobbin-net, have not felt anything like the
shock of the latter trade.—Notlingham Journal.
