The market to-day was the dullest we have had for years,
considering the period of the year and the Cattle being stall-
fed, with a large attendance. Prices, in sink, for Beef was 355.

WORKSOP FAIR, APRIL TO,

At this annual spring fair for beasts, &c. there was but a
moderate attendance of buyers and sellers. There was a tole-
rably large show of beasts, amongst which were two fine \Vest
Highlands and two of the Ayrshire breed, shown by Mr. Kirk-
wood, farming bailiff to his Grace the Duke of Newcastle. They
appeared to command great attention, but were driven away
unsold. Some excellent south down sheep, shown by Mr. K.,
met with purchasers. There were soms good fresh beasts in
the fair, and a rather large supply of good in-calvers andstores.
In-calvers generally were sold at very low prices. There was a
very short supply of sheep (as is usual at this fair). Beef
fetched from ss. to ss. 6d. per stone. Mutton from sd. to sad.
per lb. The show of entire horses was better than usual, espe-
cially of the carting kind. The fair was on the whole a very
heavy one. The farmers complain greatly. The corn marl, et
this day was exceedingly dull. Wheat averaged from 14s. to
16s. per load of three bushels. There was scarcely any pleasure
fair. The amusements were sadly at a discount,

STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER.—Our shurgish market has felt the influence
of a renewed buoyancy in the raw material during the present
week, just as it did, under similar circumstances, some ten
days ago. On Tuesday, there were signs of a hardening ten-
dency in yarns, which have become more marked since then,
and decidedly more so this morning; so that the producers
have not merely recovered what appeared to be lost after
Tuesday week, but are now insisting upon higher prices, than
they then required, by something like 4d. to 4d. ; being more
than this in certain counts and qualities, both of mule and
water, particularly 40's and upwards for the East. In conse-
quence of the very active demand for India, common 40's are
high out of all proportion with the best ; or, to put the case
more correctly, an insufficient demand for the latter has cau-
sed them to be disproportionately low as compared with the
former. Indian qualities are deficient in supply for what de-
mand there is; the spinners being mostly under contract.
The merchants connected with Germany, Italy, and the Le-
vant, as well as the buyers for borne consumption, are all act-
ing with the greatest caution ; doubtful of the movement,
because of the quarter in which it mainly originates, and yet
falling in with it, so far as to operate a little more freely on
rather higher terms, though still to a very limited extent. We
do not hear of any farge.transactions.
ROCHDALE.—We had a slack market on Monday. The at-
tendance of buyers was limited, and they showed no disposi-
tion to purchase. The merchants offer less money for pieces ;
but the manufacturer cannot afford to take a lower rate, with
wool at its present prices.
LEEDS.—The shipping houses continue to do a good business
in woollen cloths, but the demand for the home trade is less
active than it was a short time ago. As an absence of specu-
lation has long been a characteristic feature of the staple trade
of this district, stocks in the hands of both merchants and
manufacturers are low, and most of the latter have orders on
hand. Prices are without alteration.
BRADFORD.—WooI: The country dealers having generally
cleared out, the great bulk is now in this market, except what
is held by the growers, who are not sellers at the present prices.
Noils and brokes are not so ready sale as a few weeks ago, and
a reduction in price has to be submitted to. Yarn: There is
now more doing in yarns, and a confidence that there will not
be any further decline. Pieces: There is a fair business doing,
and the little dulness which has existed for some weeks is only
what is usual between the seasons. All the parties seem san-
guine of a good demand for both shipping and home trade as
the season advances.
HALlFAX.—Although the attendance at our Piece Hall on
Saturday was somewhat lower, there does not appear to have
been a much greater amount of business, and prices have
undergone no alteration. There is more inquiry for yarn- but
without any change in the quotations. The wool market is
more animated, but we cannot report any advance open late
rates. . _ _

-HUDDERSFIELD.—There has not been much variation, if
any, in the state of our market. There has been very little
doing in the warehouses; the stock, however, is very low, and
the manufacturers are employed in preparing for the coming
season. _ .

NOTTINGITAM.—Lace: We have a fair amount of business
doing in plain goods as well as low priced fancy ones, while the
better descriptions of the latter are somewhat less sought after ;
there is, however. general employment for the female popula-
tion in mending, running. purling, &c.—Hosiery: There is
not much variation in the state of our market. Since the last
report trade is in much the same state, except that there is
another turn-out of some of the glove hands, which may prove
most likely as inconvenient to themselves as they think it will
be to their employers. The price of yarn is still in favour of
buyers.
