STATE OF TRADE

MANCTIVITKR.—AIthough only a moderate amount of l)flet-
ness has been done during the week, owing principally Collie
intervention of the Christmas festivals, yet the tone at odr
spinners and manufacturers is Improved, and they are evidentit
much less anxious to press sales. Spinners are refusing to cob-
tract at prices current a week ago, and merchants have beers
more incfMed to meet their views since the fact became ',nor
that Sir Robert Pe:l had undertaken the task of reconstru,:tin#
a Ministry. The appointment of Mr. Gladstone to the Secre-
taryship of the Colonies appears to give great satisfaction, as'
the enlightened views on commerce, the practical experience
and business-like habits of that able minister point him out ed
pre-eminently superior in qualtScations to his predecessor (of
the control of that important department; and, at the same
time, they afford a guarantee that a wise and 't line 0.

policy will be adopted by the new Cabinet, which WiV'
develope the resonvces of the dependencies of the British croWas
and increase the trade of the mother country. The alarm art!"
ficially excited as to a " coming famine" is now subsiding, 11'1_2
as the price of bread stuffs is rapidly giving way, the prospeos
of our home trade are growing more bright. The drain of golds
from the batik has ceased, and the tide is beginning to flow la
the contrary direction, leading to the expectation that the re-
striction in the money market will somewhat relax. Tiles.
facts strengthen the expectation of mannfa-turers that, JlDDA-
diately after the turn of the year, there will be a steady and pro-

gressive improvement in the demand for, and
staple products of this district. We quote 2d-i

and if we are not prepared to assert that Christmas
ever found our workshops and warehooses more busy, We
believe trade was hardly ever in a mere general healthy eon'
dition on the whole.—Sheffick/ Mercury.
ROCTIDALE.—There was no improvement in the Flannel mar-
ket, on Monday, the sales were extremely limited, and prices
low. In Wool very little has been done; the manufacturers
buy very sparingly, at last week's prices.

.
LEBDB.—The markets in our Cloth Hall, both on Saturday and
Tuesday last, were but moderzteely attended either by buyers
sellers ; but the business dose was equal to that of the preceding
corre=ponding market days. Prices continue wittrust alteration;
Not much is doing in the warehouses, but businessin general
not slacker than it usually is at the period of Christmas.
