STATE OF TRADE.

AlAxcfrEsTEß.—During the early part of the week business
Was brisk, and most descriptions of cloth were selling freely at
the Current rates of last week. The news brought by the
Acadia produced a decline in the Livefpool cotton market,
Which influenced priees here also. This was the case in almost
a descriptions of goods. In printin goods of all widths a
sensible decline was felt, and even in domestics a reduction has
been
experienced. The am market is also dull. What
""con-
tributes to to this state of things is the fact, that printers will re-
e, for six or seven weeks to come, very slight quantities of
autumn. Prices
is, however, much sound of preparation for the

)3RAT)FORD MAP.RET.—There was rather a thin attendance of
!nerehants at this mrket on Thusday, and the market was on
Me whole considereda a quiet one ;r yet, judging by the carriers'
Waggons and the dyers' carts, there has been fully as many
Piece goods sold as for some weeks past. The Yarn market was
tolerably active, and late prices were fully maintained. The
Wool market as much the same as last week, both as to de-
'nand and prices.
HALIFAX MArtakr.—The attendance of buyers at this mar-
ket on Saturday was fully as good as on any market day for
.orrie time past, and an average amount of business was done at
:re rates. The wool market was moderately active, but no-
g` kn particularly worthy of note occurred.

HOSIERY AND Lacs TRADES.—The wrought cotton hose
branch is still in an improving state. the hands in general being
fultremployed .• the fine departments ant the dullest. The cut-
up-hose branch is still very brisk. The cotton glove trade is
also very brisk; and this week it seems that the agitation as to
wages has subsided. The drawer and pantaloon branch has not
improved from the dull state in which it has been for several
weeks past, but still the frames are pretty well employed in this
'Vicinity. The silk glove trade in Nottingham is extremely de-
pressed, and nothing can exceed the misery of most of the
workmen, whilst the masters arc fast sinking under the expenses
of rent and taxes . shops containing twenty frames have fre-
quently only two or three at work. But what seems most sur-
Prising to us is, that while the Nottingham hands are thus pu-
nished, at Duffield and Derby this branch is brisk Derbyshire—, the Notting-
barn hosiers sending 'their best frames into the
ififzmil,oayneras giving there higher wages than are paid in Notting-
th:mploy the same journeymen, who not unfrequently
bobbin their frames when they have act families. The fancy
