STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER: .This being a holyday week a very small
.Inonnt of business has been done, and the country houses have
been particularly fiat. Some of the manufacturers of 27--inch
Power-loom printers say they have great inquiries for cloth, and
.(31e ltracts have been made to deliver for the next two Months at
full
Prices of last week. We are not surprised that the mer-
chants,. and
u,
any
decline
inters are anxious to make eontratts to be de-
livered for the autumn trade, for stocks are toe light to admit
in price, and we anticipate a good trade for the
remainder of the year. 27 inch 66's maybe quoted 5s to 5s 6d,
andd 72'8, 5s 7#d to ft.—Manchester Advertiser, of Saturday.
„
.he Woollen business stilt 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
come.
Fan
rally
MARKET.—'The demand for both Plain and
rancY Goods at this market on Tuesday was very good; and,
girtkrtlls:_sPeaking. late prices were realised ; but in the wool
nv,- tuere was scarcely a corresponding activity, probably
firm" to the Whitsuntide Holidays, and prices are not quite so
LERAnPorto Maamr.—There was a fair attendance of mer-
at this market on Thursday, but the business done was
.I.l.otabove the average amount. Stocks are low, and as the An-
;Fan trade is expected to commence shortly, still greater acti-
_vlty 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,
aAterarav at:
.MARKET.—There was a pretty good attendance of
Merchants here on Saturday, and an average business was done
oently.• The pr.ce of Wool was not quite so firm as re-
_ ligognonnwia r£ BLANKET MARKET.—There has been a good
grinteSainetsscsat
inte here this week, and prices rema'n firm there is a
Y of Common Witney Blankets, but of the Medium
and Superfine qualities there is a patty good supply.
WAREFIELD Wool. MAtiger.— We have no demand whatever
f
ltttle Y description of combing wools this week. We have also
doing in blanket or low clothing wools, and prices of all
descriptions are merely nominal.
Rocnns.ta LANNet. Mwax Er .—Not so many buyers a' tended
P-day as usual, and the county election almost put a stop to
easiness. Considering the hustle necessarily occasioned by such
-an event, there has been a good demand for goods at former
Prices,
WocL SALES.—The public slies of Colonial Wool will com-
mence on the sth of next month; already 7,000 bales are de-
clared; the total quantity that will be offered is expected to
reach to,ooo bales. The market for all descriptions of wool is
In a dull state, but holders generally are not disposed to accept
ower rates at present The arrivals to this port were 1 £26 bales
last
week.—London New Price Current, 28th May.
11°S1Bur AND LAce Tam:res.—The wrought cotton hose
branch continues slow y to improve. In this county the fine
trade is reviving; while the coarse trade is becoming in a man-
ner half stagnant : we allude to those under 30-guage. Consi-
derable hopes are now entertained of a new market for these
staple articles of full-fashioned stockings—as orders are com-
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 late
Stormy turn-out, has come to a perfect lull, as the workmen
have obtained a slight advance. Ihe 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 silk
branches in this vicinity were not Improved ; but plain silk hose
and gloveslave revived in Derby and the county, the frames
being in much better repair. The bobbin-net trade, except in
some peculiar articles, is very dull, and we hear of some of the
machine owners making stock of Watt laces; this has at this
time-df 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.—Nottingham Journal.

RAILWAY TRAFFIC RETURNS.

(From the Railway Magazine of Saturday.)

- - - -
The following calculation of the last weekly returns of 43
railways, 1,541 miles in length, given in our present number,
will,ewe believe, be of 'interest:—Number of passengers on 29
railways,
, 429.410. The receipts for passengers on 43 railways,
4e80097 ; ditto for goods on 41 railways, '24,780-; total,
-4'104,977. This is an average of .e6B per mile per week. Tne
receipts for the corresponding period of last year on the same
riumber of miles were £89,217, or at the rate of 4658 per mile
