STATE OF TRADE,

MANCHESTER.—The market remains in a very unsatisfactory
state. There has been, perhaps, a little more doing since
Tuesday, Ltd this is altogether attributable to still lower rates
l.een submitted to, which has caused purchases to be
-.le, apparently more as a speculation than from the exist-
ence of any greater demand for export. Prices are, of course,
very irregular, the ability or otherwise to hold stocks beii g the
guiding principle : but on the whole, lower prices have been
more generally submitted to, for both cloth and yarn. The
principal part of the business at present doing is by the home
trade houses, but still to a limited extent for the

ceedings of the Chartists, it is some satisfaction to be able to
state that the woollen trade of this town and neighbourhood is
not worse this week than it was last week. It is certainly not
worse; if anything it is a trifle better. There is, however, no
very decided chanffe.
