STATE OF TRADE.

MA NCH ESTER.—After Tuesday's market, there appeared to
he a little more cheerfulness in some channels of business. On
Friday, however, the more gloomy aspect of continental affairs
generally, has rendered the depression greater, on the whole,
than it was in the earlier part of the week. The indisposition
to enter into operations is rather strengthened among the
Italian, the Greek, and still more the German merchants ; and
nothing whatever seems to be doing by the India houses. We
understand, too, that somewhat less facility in the discount of
bills is perceived—a result of the pressure of railway calls, and
of doubts as to the home supply of food, as well as of apprehen-
sions regarding the state of the continent. Under these cir-
cumstances, and with a full production going on, it is not sur-
prising that prices are manifesting a tendency to a further de-
cline. Within the week, Yarns suitable for Germany and India
have given way ltd. to id. per lb. In some other qualities,
also, there is a change in the same direction. Goods suffer in
a somewhat smaller degree than yarns. Some descriptions are
still scarce and perfectly firm, while others may be had lid.
lower. 40-inch shirtings have yielded lid. to 3d.
LE EDS.—Both in the public markets and at the warehouses
a good deal of business has been done this week, and that as
well for the foreign as the home trade. Many of the woollen
manufacturers continueeno'mged on orders ; hence the quantity
of goods brought to the Cloth Halls for sale is only small.
Prices are firm, and the stocks are rather low.

_ -
BRADFORD.--. W 001: The business doing continues much in
the same way as we have noted for several weeks past, and in
prices we have nothing new. Noils and brokes are in steady
request and firm in price. Yarns : There is more inquiry for
yarns for shipping, and the spinners are better employed in
common yarns, while in coloared there is a greater disposition
to use up than give out further orders. In price there is no
alteration. Pieces : The accounts of an increased duty on.
goods for Germany has made less business doing to those mar-
kets. The home trade as usual.
HALIFAX.—We have no alteration to notice this week, either
in the worsted or the ya n trade. The staplers complain that
there is very little demand for wool, as the kind of goods now
chiefly in request uses up but a very mall quantity. Prices
continue without variation. There is rather more activity in
the low woollen trade of the district; and the operatives in that
branch are more generally employed, but at very low wages.
HUDDERSFIELD.—we have again to report a fair amount of
business. Fancy goods, of well-designed new styles, meet with
ready sale, and with low stocks, there is a probability of a good
winter trade.

ROCIIDALE.—The demand for flannels still continues good,
and the manufacturer meets a ready sale for all he makes. Ker-
seys, or heavy goads, have been dull of sale, and the numbers
sold have been limited. The wool marke. has been much the
same as it was last week.
NOTTINGIIAM.—Lace : The demand for the home trade is
not so large as usual at this period of the year; there have oeen
very few buyers here this week. There has been a lit le more
demand fur Germany and America, which has induced some
persons to put machines to work that have not been employed
for many months ; and in some cases other machines are being
worked two hours additional time. Hosiery : The hosiery
trade remains on the whole very fair; the demand for merinos
in shirts, drawers, and gloves, is still very good. In cotton
goods there is not quite so much activity.
GLASGOW.—Our market has been more inactive this week
than any experienced for some time previous. Fortunately,
tnere are still considerable orders held by manufacturers, and
prices are not quoted lower t'an before ; but from the feeling
exhibited_ throughout the week, some concession might be ex-
pected in offering orders of any considerable magnitude,—par-
ticularly for the less staple classes of goods. Power-loom goods
and yarns have also been much more difficult of sale.

GALVANISBL—The following is extracted from the
Court Journal of January 29 :—" It is now about four
years since that we informed our readers, it was to be re-
gretted galvanism was not more extensively used as a
remedial agent. We have every reason to believe that
our advice was attended to, for, in a comparatively short
time, Mr. Halse's residence was crowded with the elite of
fashion, and their less fortunate fellow-sufferers ; and we
feel confident, judging from the astonishing remedial
effects it has produced on ourselves, after all kinds of
medicines and hydropathy had failed to impart any bene-
fit, that the public will thank us for our recommendation.
We are delighted to notice, a short time since, that Mr.
Halse was patronised by the Lord Bishop of London, and
Sir Charles Clarke, his Lordship's physician. Mr.
Halse's great reforms in galvanic apparatus, and his im-
proved methods of application, justly entitle him to rank
as the head of his profession. We again recommend our
readers to give galvanism a fair dial. Mr. Halse's resi-
dence is at 22, Brunswick-square, London."—See art
