STATE OF TRAIN

MANCHESTER.—The market still continues dull and droop-
ing, and buyers, as a general rule, are only supplying imme-
diate and pressing wants. More business, however, has been
done during the last day or two in yarns and goods suitable for
India, merchants having been induced to operate by the very
low prices which spinners and manufacturers are willing to ac-
cept for these articles. The German houses are very much out
of the market at present, and continue to act with great cau-
tion. The Greek buyers are not without orders, but find much
difficulty in negotiating their bills, which materially interferes
with the regular course of their business. Both in the yarn
and goods market sales cannot be effected without concessions
upon the prices current on Friday week.

'ROCHDALE. —The piece tnerkel continues very flat, and some
of the manufacturers have already begun to work short time.
The in ild state of the weather at this time of the year has a con-
siderable influence upon the flannel market. The price of wool
is much the same as that of last week, but there is very little
doing.

BIADFORD.—Piecea: Our market remains without any im-
provement. Things can hardly be flatter than they are just
now, and yet it is difficult to say from what quarter anything-
is to be hoped to give aLimatiqn to business. A good borne
trade we believe exists in the war.)-- .wing to I'

downward tendency in the market, the home-trade merchants
purchase very sparingly, restricting themselves to their actual
daily wants. At no time is the home consumption alone suffi-
cient to occupy the whole of our manufacturing power, but
year by year the increase of machinery and of foreign trade
have gone hand in hand, and as a consequence, the present
almost total cessation of demand from America and from the
continent is severely felt. Short-time working is even becom-
ing very generally adopted, many manufacturers working only

during daylight, five days a week, and some in addition liavink
200 or 300 looms standing.—Yarn: From all parts to which the
yarns brought to this market are exported, the same dullness
in the demand is experienced, and the sales are consequently
limited in proportion, yet prices do not give way much, as they
• ‘ve all .1 too •

been low, and spinners preferring in most
cases to miss orders and stop frames, rather than submit to a
rOuctipn in price.—Wool remains firm, with very limited bu-

MANCHESTER IRON MARI:RT.—The market has been steady,
and prices have remained firm during the week ; but the amount
of business has not been large. Freights from Glasgow to Run-
corn and Fleetwood are scarce, 65., including charges, being
the current rates. The price of good merchantable brands, at
these ports, may be quoted at 445. &I. net cash. At Glasgow,
free on board, 395. to 395. 6d.

THE SILK VA RKET.„—Messrs. Durant and Co. have issued
the following circular:—” Copthall Court, October 23, 185/.
The public sales are concluded. The total quantity offered
was 4800 bales China and 11)00 bales Bengal ; as usual, the
whole quantity was allowed to pass without any biddings, ex-
cept for the damaged bales, of which the Albemarle had fur-
nished more than the usual proportion. The same want of
confidence was manifested that bad existed for the last six
weeks; but some business has resulted by private contract,
and it is now generally felt that the concession made by im-
porters at the commencement of the week, makes prices
comparatively safe ; should. this feeling gain ground, It will
lead to a resumption of purchases, as, in many cases, buyers
have completely exhausted their stocks.
