STATE OF TRADE

MANCHESTER.—DUTing the past week the cloth and yarn
markets have again been in a dull state, and in some cases the
smalkr holders have submitted to a reduction of prices in order
to effect sales. In those cases, however, where there was no
pressing necessity to sell, manufacturers and spinners have
refused to suhmit to any redaction. As the short time system
has now been very extensively adopted, there is little doubt
that a fall in the price of cotton must in a short time be the
result, which will somewhat relieve the pressure upon the ma-
nufacturers. Cotton has been on:y in moderate request, and
the transactions of the week have been very limited. Silk.—
The market still continues very quiet, at the previous currency.
Sugar.—The demand for all the goof and finer qualities of East
and West India continues good, and full prices have been freely
paid; refined goods are a trifle lower. Tea.—ln anticipation of
a reduction of the duty soon, speculators have Leen eager
buyers of common Congou, and heavy sales have been effected,
both here and in Liverpool,at an advance of Id. per pound from
the lowest point of the market. Currants.—Sales have been
effected in Patras to arrrive unseen at 565. Holders on the spot

LEKus.—We have no important feature of change to notice
in our staple trade this week. It is still dull, but rather more
business has been done this than last week. Great caution is
manifested both by the manufacturers and the merchants:
hence the business actually done is upon a sound footing.
HECKMONDWIIig.—The attendance of merchants at this mar-
ket was last week larger than ror several weeks past; and as
the weather was rather colder, there was an improved amount
of business done, and prices continue firm.
HA ',Lynx —The attendance of mei chants in the hall on Satur.
day was rather larger than that day week ; hut there was no
noticeable increase in the amount of goods sold, nor any Im.
provement in prices. The yarn market is in a languid state,
and spinners are anxious sellers. Not much long wool is
changing hands, but the firmness of the grows in the country
prevents a fall in price. In short wools there is no alteration to
report.
ROCHDALE.—We had another quiet market last week, and
the number of pieces sold was very limited. The wool market
has undergone no change since Monday, either as regards price
or the business done. _ . . _

BRADFORD.— Wool.—There is no new feature In this branch
of trade. Everything remains very du'l. Notwithstanding
this, prices keep very firm Yarn.—The demand for yarn, is
very similar to several weeks past. '-pinners generally are
either running short time, or allowing part of their mach,nery
to remain unemployed ; short working is more extensively
ad pted every week. Prices are so ruinously low that none are
willing to accumulate stocks. Piece.—The attendance of mer-
chants today is a fair average for the time of the year ; and
the amount of business done in heavy g00d.,, such as moreens,
is more extensive; in plain and fancy dress goods the demand

is but languid.
N,,TTINGIIAM.—The wrought cotton hose branch is. if any-
thing, retrograding; the finer the quality made the duller is the
demand. The cut-up branches, whether in the town or country,
are still extremely depresse I. The cotton glove trade. though
dull, is much better than the stocking trade. The drawer and
pantaloon branch is in general very much depressed. The silk
branch is not amended. The plain silk hose branch, whether
in Nottingham. Derby, Duffield, Mansfield, or Belper. is in a
lamentable state. The bobbin net trade is still in a very dull
state, and nets. except a few new and expensive patterns, are
extremely dull of sale. This is equally the case in France.
The cotton warp lace branch has received a sudden and most
unexpected reverse, some of the largest manufacturers having
given a sort of general notice to stop the frames when the warps
are riff. The silk warp lace trade has a shade amended.
LSICKSTER.—There is but little variation. if any, since last
week.
