STATE OF TRADE.

I"Ds.—The Woollen Trade of this district continues brisk
both_ for home consumption and export; and the transactions in
the Cloth Halls during the week call for no particular remark

_ HUDDERSFIELD MARKET.—The demand for Spring Goods
rotitinues active, especially for fancy waistcoatings and trowser-
-124%. In plain cloths and the heavier kinds of goods there was
!good business done on Tuesday. The Wool market was also
animated, anu consequently price were firm.
P 13RADFORD MARKET.—At this market on Thursday extensive
turchases were made of most descriptions of goods, but par•
oUlefly those suitable for the American Tra..e. and those likely
snit he Spring Trade at home, and in most cases advant ed
Prices were realised. There was a good demand for Yarns, both
for the Manchester (Mousselin des !sines) trade and for export,
and as there are no stocks on hand, the spinners were able to
establish better prices. A large business was done in Wools,
PectallY shorts, and Lolls, and improved rates were generally
obtained.

HALIFAX MARRET.—We had a numerous attendance of mer-
chants here on Saturday, who bought freely of nearly all de-
scriptions of stuff goods. There was also an active demand for
Yarn, and the wool market exhibited considerable stiffness.

BLANKET MARKET.—On Monday we had a
attendance of buyers at this market, and fully
as much business was done as on the preceding market day. On
Thursday,the attendance of buyers was not so good as on Mon.
day, but there were a few orders put out. The “ianufacturers
still complain that they cannot obtain an advance upon goods
equal to the advance which they have to pay for wool.

WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET.—Considerable sales have again
been made during the week in most sorts of combing fleece
wools, at a further improvement in prices, but as this does not
keep anything like pace with the advance demanded by the
farmers, this market is scantily supplied.

ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET. JAN. 29th.—There has been
a rather busy market to day, yet there have not been so many
pieces sold as might have been expected from the numerous at-
tendance of buyers. The manufacturers have stood out for an
advance of prices, and many have obtained a little more for
their goods, but nothing in proportion to the advance of wool.
The demand for wool still continues good, and prices firm.

llosisny AND LACE TRADES.—We are concerned to state,
that the silk glove branch has become more depressed than ever,
several of the principal houses declining to give out silk to their
workmen, who are now reduced to the last verge of despair. To
add to their misfortunes, some of the houses are contemplating
further peculatious on the wages, under the pretext of deducting
for making them cut-up. The cut-up cotton hose branches still
keep tolerably brisk. The drawer and pantaloon branch is not
by any means worse : upon the whole, we think it rather
amended the frames being in general employed. This is of the
utmost importance to the town, as about one fifteenth of the
Men in Nottingham are employed in making these goods. e
!ire given to understand that the wrought cotton hose branch is,
if anything, a, shade retrograded in demand, but not so as to be
materially felt in any of the villages in this county.—Notting-
ham Journal.

MANCHESTER.—The early part of last week our market was
comparatively quiet, and many printers and shippers suspended
operations in consequence of one or two days of calm business
in Liverpool, but the calm appears only to be the forerunner to
a storm, for since then a large amount of business has been
done in cotton at Liverpool, and at advanced rates; and here
both the shippers and printers, fearing that printing cloth will
Lot be lower, but in all probabi ity go considerably higher, an
extensive business has been doing the whole of the week, and in
26 and e 7 inch printing cloth, at improved prices upon the rates
of last week. Several shippers have held off buying until they
are forced to purchase, and the Germans have bought of 45's,
50's, and 6 's mule yarn, and buyers for other markets have
given extensive orders for goods. The Queen's speech con-
tains what we expected, an intimation that the Bank of England
charter will be brought forward, and when settled we doubt not
that the unprecedented amount of money they have now in their
coffers will be made to " fructify." which will tend to keep up
Prices ; so we fear we have but little chance for some months to
come of counteracting the gambling propensities of the brokers
in Liverpool, and the interested Yankees, in their cotton specu-
latinn• The printers both here an I In Glasgow are extremely
busy in de laines and calico prints. printing cloths of all kinds
busy been in good request throughout the week, and the full
prices of last week have been easily obtained. 27-inch 72's may
be
quoted at 6s 6d to 7s; 27-inch 66's, ss 10 oto6s 3d ; 27-inch
's. 4 lb. 2 oz., is 44d, 26-inch 52's. 31b. 8 oz. 4s 7id and 9d.
Tanjibs are firm, and go off moderately ; so likewise are mada-
pollans, and 36 inch shirtings and printing cloths. 40-inch
shirtings are inanimate, and barely steady in price; we may
quote 60-reeds, 81b., at 8s gd to gs : 66-reeds. 91b., at 9s pd. In
domestic there is no change. Long cloths and T cloths are de-
pressed and lower in value, owing partly to the additional duty
laid upon manufactures going into Algiers, which has been a
considerable market for these fabrics. Manufacturers are ask-
ing advances upon most things, in consequence of the rise in
cotton, but buyers refuse to run with the herd of speculators,
and decline giving any advance. Yarns for home manufacture
are in good request, and may be quoted id higher within the last
three days. rot so with export yarns, however; id more is
demanded on the one hand, but refused on the other.
