STATE OF TRADE.

14ANcussrsa.--Ilpon the whole, our cloth and yarn market
must be reported more quiet. although some houses say they
have had a fair amount of business. Printing cloth is again
better to buy: but the fact that manufacturers, printers, arid
merchants are all light in stock will prevent any material
changa in the present rates ; for printing cloth has receded full
bd per piece from the highest point. Domestic cloth is still in
good demand. Operative printers who can produce good block
were never known to be so fully employed. The country
houses are also busy, and expect above an average autumn
trade. 27-inch 66's may be quoted at Ss 3:1 to 5s 70, and 62's,
6s to 5s aid; some houses askiog 6s 6d, which price they admit,
they can obtain for a limited quatitity.—Manchester Advertiser.

Litans.—The woollen trade has not been quite so active du-
ring the past week as we have lately had occasion to report ;
and the purchases at both the Cloth Halls on Saturday and
Tuesday were somewhat limited; the principal articles going
being heavy cloths suitable (or the winter trade.
HUDDERSFIELD MARKET.—The fancy woce;en trade still
continues brisk, and there was considerable activity in this
market on Tuesday, nearly every piece of goods suitable to the
winter trade being disposed of. There was also a good deal
done in plain cloths. The yarn trade with Scotland still con-
tinues active, and late prices are fully realized.
BRADFORD MARKET.—Though there was a full average at-
tendance of merchants here on Thursday, it was generally re-
marked by the trade, that the purchases were not so extensive as
we have had to report for some time past, the principal diminu-
tion being in the sales of the exporting houses ; yet the expec-
tation as to a brisk autumnal trade remained unabated. 7 here
was a fair demand for yarns at late rates; yet the wool ma ket
was very dull, and owing to the extent of the supply, prices
were scarcely so firm as of late. Broke and short wools were
principally in demand
ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET.—There has been a very good
attendance of buyers in the market io-day, and the demand for
flannels has been brisk at former prices. There is no change in
the wool market—the demand steady, and prices firm.
HECMONDWIKE BLANKET MARKET.—We have had two good
market days this week, with good prospects for the future.
HALIFAX MARKET.—We had a fair demand for piece goods
here on Saturday, but there was nothing cal ing for particular
remark. The prices of goods remained much the same, though
Wool could hardly be said to be so firm.
LEICESTE rt.—There is little change since last week to report:
if anything. the demand is a shade slacker. Prices remain the
same.—Leicester Chronicle.
HOSIERY AND LACE TRADE.—The state of these branches
of British industry may be said to be a'most stationery, but. if
anything, a little amended in some respects, and certainly they
are not worse : still the state of the workmen is that of conside-
rilebsruaffneerhiensg.
namely, plain silk hose. knotted and fancy hose, and hard privation. The sek trade in all the
four
and silk gloves, is extremely depressed ; though, as we before
observed, there is a slight shade of improvement in some
quarters, but still it is extremely partial. The cotton hosiery
trade is still extremely dull in almost all the branches, and the
hands are much to be commiserated, as they arc both in want
of work and .adequate wages. The bobbin net trade may be
said to be a little recovering in the fancy department. Plain
nets, though extremely low in price, have been in pretty good
remand for some time. The warp 1 Ice trade is in much the
same state th:.t i has been in for some time past; that is, it is
rather duller than it was in the spring months.--Nottinghani
Journal.
