STATE OF TRADE.

M
ANCHESTER.—This being a holyday *tek a very small
aount of business has been done, and the country houses have
been
Particularly flat. Some of the manufacturers of 27-inch
Dower-loom printers say they have great inquiries for cloth, and
Fontracts have been made to deliver for the next two months at
the full prices of last week. We are not surprised that the mer-
chants and printers are anxious to make contracts to be de-
livered for the autumn trade, for stocks are too light to admit
of any decline in price, and we anticipate a good trade for the
remainder of the year. 27 inch 66's may be quoted 5s to 5s 6d,
72's. Is 'ad to 65.-21lanchester Advertiser, of Saturday.
_LEEDS._
The Woollen business still continues brisk in this
district, not only for export but on domes is account, with every
prospect of a continuance of the demand for some time to
corns,
, ReenEassveLD MARKET.—The demand for both Plain and
'aricY Good, at this market on Tuesday was very good; and,
generally
speaking, late prices were realised '; but in the wool
Market Mt:re was scarcely a corresponding activity, probably
owing to the Whitsuntide Holidays, and prices are not quite so
Arm.
BRAHFORD MARKET.—There 'was a fair attendance of mer-
chants at this market on Thursday, but the business done was
not/hove the average amount. Stocks are low, and as the Au-
tumn trade is expected to commence shortly, still greater acti-
-I.IIY is looked for. The yarn market was tolerably active, but
Prices Were by no means firm. The demand for combing wools
Was Pretty considerable, at late rates.
nALIFAX MARK ST. —Mete was a pretty good attendance of
'Merchants here on Saturday. and an average business was done
at late rates. The price of Wool was not quite so firm as re-
cently.

iIseiESIONDWItE 131ANKET MARKET.—There has been a good
business done here this week, and prices rema n firm there is a
great scarcity of Common Witney Blankets, but of the itledinm
Sad superfine qualities there is a pretty good supply.

description of combing wools this week. We have also
;1 cluing in blanket or low clothing wools, and prices of all
escriPtrous are Merely nominal.
RocasoaLs PLaNNEr. MARKET.—Notsomany buyers attended
to-day as usual, and the county election almost pieta stop to
business,ev Considering the hustle necessarily occasioned by such
prkesan e.nt.`there has been a good demand for goods at former
WckL 'SAL-Ea.—The public s Iles of Colonial Wool will com-
tMleerneed the
e;dnthe sth of next month; already 7,oso'bales are de-
total quantity that will be offered Is expected to
reach 10,000 bales. The market for all descriptions of wool is
Yin at dull state, but holders generally are not disposed to accept
lower rates at present. The arrivals to this port were 1 526 bales
last`week.—Lorulon New Price Orrrent,2Bth•Aftry.
HIVS:ERY AND ',Ace TRADES:—The wrought cotton hose
:branch continues slow'y to improve. •In this county the fine
trade is reviving; while the coarse trade is incoming in a man-
/Afltalf stagnant : we allude io those tinder 30-guage. Consi-
derable hopes are now entertained of anew market for these
staple articles of full-fashioned stockngs—as orders are coin-
,pleting of women's and maid,' hose,,having feet two or more
'inches shorter than the usual length these are supposed to be
' made for China. The cotton cut-up' hose branch, after the sate
stormy turn-out, has come to a perfect lull, as the workmen
have obtained a slight advance. 'lke cotton glove trade 're-
/ mains in much the same state; the hands being well employed—
and, as in the cut-up 'branch, agitation has ceased. The zailk
branches in this vicinity were not iniviroved ; but plain siik hose
and gloves have revived in Derby and the county, the frames
being in muck better 'repair. The 'bobbin-net trade, except in
some peculiar articles, is very dull, end we hear of some-of the
machine owners making stock of i Watt laces; this has -at this
time of the year a 'very ominous -appearance The warp lace
trade continues brisk in all its branches, the cotton lap and
press nets being in greatest 'demand. The late advances in
wages have been:beneficially felt by the workmen engaged in
the trade.--Nottrupharn Journal.
