STATE OF TRADE,

MANCHESTER.—The market on Tuesday was steady, without
alteration from the rates noted on that day week ; a fair general
business which had been going on had been fully sustained until
near the close of the market, when a telegraphic despatch was
received, announcing the arrival of the Pacific, bringing news
from the United States three days later than that of the Asia,
and the tidings that prices of cotton had again receded. When
business was resumed in the afternoon, it was only on easier
terms than had been asked in the morning, want of confidence
in prices being again quite prevalent. In yarns we cannot re-
port any other than a moderate business. The low rates have
attracted some buyers, who, on the appearance of the upward
tendency of Monday and Tuesday, were, more eager to give out
orders, hut the subsequent information cooled the demand.
For piece goods there has been a slightly improved demand for
39-inch shirtings. and inquiries were made after jacconets, but
for printing cloths the absence of all demand is the only notice-
able feature of the market; all other descriptions of fabrics
are still very quiet.
ROCHDALE.—The flannel market is still inactive, and the
merchants show no disposition to purchase. Indeed not many
buyers have attended, and a very limited amount of business
has been transacted. The price of wool continues firm, not-

in the state of our home trade during the week, and the only

week.

HALIFAX.—Low lastings andiew cotton-back lastings were
inquired for on Saturday, but there are very few to be met
with. Other descriptions of goods are very little sought after
just now. There is no improvement in the yarn market, and
prices are without alteration. 'There is scarcely so much doing
in wool, with the turn in favour of the buyer.
Hunnensvumn.—Our market this week has scarcely been
an average one; less has been done on the whole. Goods of a
middle quality are the class principally in demand. Yarns are
steady. In wool lea, has been done: at about the same prices
as last week.
