CORN EXCHANGE, OCTOBER 25,

The duty on Rye has turther receded to per qr, but there
is no variaticu this Week in -9.1'..t of any other produce.
We haVe a moderate Ilipply Of Wheat, Oats, and Oatmeal,
wttb an increasing quantity of Flour from Ireland; but little of
anything has been received Coastwise during the p st few days,
and excepting 151 barrels of Canadian Flour, we have no arri-
vals fresh in from abroad.
_ _

Though a tolerable degree of steadiness has been observable
in the leading markets this week, it has not been attended by
aoy lively indications here : during the interval from Tuesday
last. however, a few parcels of Wheat, Oatmeal, and Canadian
Flour changed hands; but in any other article nothing beyond
the usual requirements of the trade.
At our marl:a this morning the Wheat trade assumed a firmer
aspect than of late, and upon a moderate, but not a ready sa e,
good Foreign sa npies, in some instanses slightly exceeded our
last quotitions ; and Irish, of which some of extraordinary fic:e
quality appeared, realised an adva ,ce f full Id per 7g lb. Sack
Flour continued to moved off slowly, but without any ifsposi-
tion on the part of holders to submit to lower terms, we repeat
late prices ; while superior brands of Canadian we, C the turn
dearer, and the low stale qualities, recently :o attractive, ware
offered more reluctantly by importers to-day.
English malting Barley, of which a little has arrived, was
saleable at 41s to 42s per qr, but in griming samples we have no
change to note. Malt upon a fair remand was Is per qr
dearer ; and Bea: s, except Egyptians, becoming scarce, were
held at a similar amendment.

Although in Oats we ha.,l little business passing to-day, an
improvement of id to in per 45 was acquired; and Oatmeal,
being in lively request, sales to a large extent were made at an
advance, upon both old and new, of 3d. per 24 lb.

STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER.—nuring the whole of this week a very large
business has boen d:'ne in printing cloth, as, also, in domestics,
and for both kinds at advanced rates. The yarn market is also
very bucyant. The workpeople, we are told, are in a very
excited state, and appear determined to have an advance in the
rate of wag! s. We think that their cia ms demand a ca7olll
consideration from their employers ; for scarcely on any previ-
ous occasion were spinners and manufacturers in a better posi-
ton to ✓rant the reasonable request of their hands. I a some
casos this has been done, and to the honour of those firms t
should be said, they have at once acceded. Merchants and
printers appea now to see no probaillity of the price of cloth
sec ding, and are, ther fide, contracting a month earlier than
usual for de'ivcry for the s ring. We are disposed to think
that they are right in their policy, inasmuch as stocks have
rarely been know:, to be lighter everywhere; and we hove every
prospect before us in favour of a splendid spring trade. The
pri tors are also busy. The country houses are doing a very
good business. 27-inch printing cloth is full id to ad per piece
h.gher, and may be quoted as follows:-27 inch 60'8, 4s inid to
Es lid ; 66's, sa ad to as 71d; and 72's, 6s to 6s 4id.—Manchester
Advertiser.

LEgns.. --We hare very little alteration to note in the tran-
sactions at our Cloth Halls during the past week. The attend-
ance has been thin, as we have previou,ly reported. yet there is
no material accumulation of goods, though most of the manu-
facturers continue busy. There is. no doubt, a good deal of
businelss doing to or,:er, though the aggregate may not be equal
to what was done a month or six weeks ago. At this season,
however, a cessation is not 1:y any me us unusual.

HUDDERSFIF.LD MARKET. —The transactions in fancy goods
at this market, on Tuesday last, were consLicred•rather
but the market, nevertheless. was rather buoyant. Prices
underwent no change, and, as most of the manufacturers have
been and ere still wori,ing to order, there :s no accumulation of
stocks. For plain (lens and the heavier kinds of winter goods,
a goo demand is =Cc dated.

HECKMONDWIKE BLANKET MAnxsT —There WEIS a very
heavy market to-day, although manufacturers were willing
to a reduction in price. There was more business done o
Thursday than on Monday, no doubt in consequence of the tew
cold days we have had this week. There was a little done for
shipping.
BRADFORD MARRET. —There was rather more activity in the
demand for piece goods at this market on Thursday than we
have had to report of late •; but late prices were not sustained,
and the manufacturers complained of their inability to realise
remunerating prices. The demand for yarns was tar from no
tive, but as several spinners have begun to Work short time,
there is no accumulation of stock. The wool market presented
no new feature; it was far from animated, the spinners only
buying to supply their immediate wants.
ROCRDALE FLANNEL MARKET.—There is not the least' im-
provement in the flannet market, which has been extremely dull
and inactive. The wool market hes been equally flat, and the
sales extremely limited. • •

HALIFAX MARllgT.—There was a f .ir Atendanceof merchants
in the Piece Flail on aturday, and an average amount of busi-
ners wils_done. In yizrris the transactions were rather more
extensive at late rates; and for not sand broke wools there was
a better demand. bit in corntiing wpot.s the dealings were few.

it plincipally confined to lower sorts. Employment, however,
is plentittil, and with the approach of cad weather, we hope the
state of att. irs will improve.—Leicester Chronicle.

ILISIGHS AND LACE TRADES.—The. cut-up cotton hose branch
seems once more in a state of levet agiihton, as several at.
tempts, both direct and indirect, are making to reduce the wages
In this slop trmie, The full-far.hioned cotton hose branch is
still most lammttably dzpre sed. This depression incrca,cs, in-
stead of diminishing. The drawer tranch ha not in the least
improved. The silk glove trade is very bad, indeed, in some
qua.tcrs, and the haves are giving way to despair. The bobbin-
net trade. upon the vane, in,:y be said t, be in a fair condith,n,
though far from Wick. 'I he circular mseWne,, which have for
several years been in the back ground as to the producing of
fancy nets, are now coming into play, end many descriptions of
fancy laces may be seen from steain-propehed circular bra ma-
chines, which lie, etoforc have teen lyre-ay generally confined t
the making of plain quilkings vard Viain nets. The warp lace
trade, we are sorry t, say, has novrauc mended. The demand
for lap and press articles having fa some me sure fallen off, has
been heavily felt. At present The cotton branches are in the
best corichti4 • ; but these asciptincipaily confined to t•ipleford
and the vicinity. —Nottinellatet Journal.
