STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER.—There has been an improving demand in
le market, and a very buoyant feeling throughout the week.

week; were thereby prevented making purchases ato such an
extent as they otherwise would; this has, however, in nowise
affected the position taken by spinners, who, almost without
exception, have established gradual advances day after day, a
course in which they have been aided alike by the absence of

an obstacle. Yarns for home Manufacture are agt;in
the advance varying from id. to Id. per lb., and fully the latter
advance is realised for pin cops, which are very scarce; cop
yarns generally hold at present a more favourable position than
warps, but the latter command advanced rates. There is a
continued inquiry for yarns, noth for Germany and the Medi-
terranean, and a similar advance }—" and wr' 't- ;t

has been realized, and in exceptional instances even higher
rates. For India the demand is at present small, but spinners
are very generally engaged, and prices are fully maintained.
In goods there is not the same activity, many descriptions ex•
periencing a diminished inquiry, and those sorts of cloths
which have for a length of time been in the greatest demand
are now comparatively neglected; but the advancing state both
of cotton and yarns renders any reduction difficult, so that on
the whole firmness. is generally maintained. The heavier de-
scriptions of goods continue gradually to improve, and both
long cloths and domestics are held for higher rates.
ROCHDALE.—We have a fair demand for Flannels, at prices
much the same as those of last week. The manufacturers con-
tinue to purchase the raw material very sparingly, and the
wool staplers hold out for good prices. The work people are in
full employment, and the stocks on hand are extremely light.
LEEDS.—There is no material change to notice in the staple
trade of this district since our last report. General activity
still prevails both for the home and the foreign markets, and
prices are firm. _ _ _ _

BRADFORD.—WooI.—The briskness noticed in our last at
the markets in the country for new wools still continues. Prices
are realised far beyond what are current here, and the stapler's
find great reluctance on the part of the buyers to give an ad-
vance approximating the cost from the grocers. Noils and
Brokes are very firm, and no accumulation in stock. Yarns.
—The advance in wool has made the position of the spinner
worse than last month, for an advance of 3d. to 6d. per gross
is not an equivalent, and on this advance the contracts for July
have been generally made. The spinners are mostly busy, and
working to order, and stocks are not to be found, the demand
being quite equal to the production. Pieces.—The demand for
some weeks past has been active, and this week not less so.
Cobourgs, are moved off as made, and an advance was sought,
to cover the increased price of yarns. Mixed Alpacas are
eagerly sought after, and higher prices obtained. The advance
and scarcity of the raw material make the cost of manufacture
such that old rates are refused.

HALIFAX.—The inquiry for worsted goods is scarcely so ac-
tive as it was; the merchants being unwilling to give an in-
crease of price adequate to the enhanced cost of the raw mate-
rial. The demand for yarn continues good, and the late ad-
vance is freely obtained. There is a moderate amount of busi-
ness doing in wool, and the quotations are firm, at the recent
advance ;but the consumers appear very reluctant to accede
to the further rise demanded by the growers.
HUDDERSFIELD.—We have had a good market this week,
demand having been quite equal to the supply of all seasonable
goods. Prices much the same.
