STATE OF TRADE.

sr.rcuss'rEk.—An increased amount of business has been
done this week, bo'h in cloth and yarns, and some instances
at advance upon last week's quotations in each description.
..Infing cloth is selling freely, for shippers and printers ate in
stocks in
and we have heard them complain of the paucity of
in the manufacturers' hands. We are also glad to learn
that4o-inch shirtings are better to sell, and that prices have
now become more firm. Domestic cloth is also in better de-
.lll.and where parties will take within id of the lowest price.
The Prices of fustians appear to be very low, and there being
a"'ta small demand, they exhibit less animation than any other
harvest
The printers are preparing for the autumn, and if the
uarvest should only prove favou, able we may anticipate a good
fhorde. The manufacturers are now doing better than they have
13oir,,,,rnany years, and the operatives, being now generally ern-
, will tend to make trade better everywhere. Prices may
be-Yeci quoted thus :-27-inch 6a's, 4S ed to Is ; 66's, 5s to 5s 6d,
79's' be ltd to 6s.—Manchester Advertiser, Saturday.
The result of the Colonial wool sales, coupled with
the abolition of the duty on Foreign wools, hai given an in-
cr...,e_ased impetus to the woollen trade of this district; and a
reud d eal of
business has been done during the week, at im-
proved rites,f r both foreign and domestic consumption. We

happy to observe that there is an increased demand for fine
HUDDERSFIELD MARKET.—We had again an animated mar-
ket Tuesday, nearly all the fresh goods offered up by the
'"anufacturers being readily bought up. Prices were conse-
quently firm, if no advance can be quoted. A good deal of bu-
siness is doing in the warehouses, and an increased amount is
expected to be done for the autumn trade.
1/4L,FAX MARKET.—There is considerable activity in the de-
mandt for goods, and the sales of Yarns on Saturday were ex-
tensive. The Wool market felt the effect of the improvement,
and Was somewhat firmer as to price than of late.

MARKET.—There was a umerous attendance of
:e_veliants at the market on Thursday, and nearly the whole of
I;7T Purchased freely, the demand being nearly equally brisk
' domestic consumption and for exportation. Prices are c n-
MielentlY looking up. The Yarn market was rather more Re-
sin late rates were fully maintained. There was a fair bu-
de essa done in wools, at late rates, but the stocks are said to be
givec the reaaing in consequence of the staplers being unwilling to
prices asked by the farmers.
acEItONDWIKE BLANKET MARKET.—ThEre has been no
change in this market since our last, prices are firm, and are
likely to continue so.
BA it "If
it.sir.—The Linen trade is flat at present, but a consi-
derablecanal-
o,„u72v improvement is anticipated after midsummer, when the
ll season commences.
7 CHRALE FLANNEL MARKET.—The flannel market has been
rereathan usually brisk to-day. Many of the large manufactu-
prices.s
well as the merchants, have purchased free.), at former
There has been also a good demand for Wool, which
has folly

la ESTER.--In Wools there has been a tendency to recede
e, tut the week's accounts from the large markets speak
tslight rise in some sorts within the last few days. Worsted
,nnis are firm. There is very little difference in trade gene-
`lnlY, but the prospects are considered good.—Leicester Chron.
HOSIERY AND LACE TRADES.—The Cotton cut-up Hose
branches atc,atill very brisk, and are rapidly extending, the
smiths being extremely busy in widening narrow frames and
Making new wide frames with the utmost dbigence, and.in a
few months a great alteration may be expected in thia„siow-.
flourishing branch, which employs in making various descrip-
tions of cut and part-fashioned hose from 6,500 to 7,000 frames.
The quantity produced is enormous, the wide frames averagiti
about a gross of pairs per week—the narrow. or toy, frames,
irodueing considerably lees. The wrought cottore hose branch
is still in a tolerably prosperous state, the lt:.nds having in gene-
ral full employment. The cotton glove trade is still brisk, and
there is but little agitation in this important branch, which,
were it not for the extensive system of cutups, bids fair to be a
staple trade. The silk glove branch has much retrograded
Within the week. The drawer and pantaloon branch is not im-
proved; some of the houses still Continue to keep their frames
standing. The bobbin-net trade is still very dull for almost
every description of nets and laces. The fancy machine-
Owners, however, inster.d of making much stock, are making
• ~,, alterations, and that to a considerable extent, nor is this con-
fined to the fancy trade, as many of the powerful machine-
?.Wners are making alterations. The warp lace trade still keeps
a very fair state, there being a good demand for lap and press
