STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER.—Our staple market is without any mater.al
change, and the slight reduction that has taken place in 27-inch
power-loom printers, (say tic! to 3d per piece from the highest
heavy sales have been made this week and stocks cont'nue ex-
tremely light. 4^-inch skirtings, which were worse to sell than
any other width in printing cloth, are now in better demand,
and, many makers having turned from them to 27-inches, they
are now scarce in the maeket, particularly 66's, and the conse-
quence is, that many manufacturers ar contracting to make at
even higher rates than last week. The print houses that are
producing good prints were never know to be better emir' oyel,
and block printers are bad to get almost everywhere We re-
gret to announce the temporary suspension of one of the most
respectable calico prin' ers in this district ; but we are happy to
say, that the creditors have every reason to expect 20s in the
pound, for the house in question, when they found that they
only had a small amount above what they owed, were deter-
mined, after losing their own money, no to risk their creditors,
but immediately called them together to ask what they were to
do. 27 inch 6;,'s may be quoted 5s fo 5s 3d ; 66's, as 3cl to 5s gd ;
and 72's 6s 3d to 6s 7d, and even 6s gd can be got fyr first-rate
cloth—Manthester Advertiser, of Saturday.

LcEns.—We have no change to note in the aspect of our
woollen markets. The same briskness of demand for new goons
continues, but there is the same slackness in the supply that we
have heretofore noticed, owing to the manufacturers being still
working to order. Prices have undergone no change worth
mention.

HUDDERSFIELD MARKET.—We had a very active market here
on Tuesday, and all fresh goods readily found purchasers. The
late fine weather seemed to have inspired both merchant arid
manufacturer with increased confidence as to the continued
briskness of trade for some time to come. The wool market
was proportionately active, but we note no alteration in cloths
or wool.

----
IRECRAIONDWIKE BLAWKET MARKET.—The demand for blan-
kets for home consumption still continues good. The demand
for exportation is very limited, the season for shipping being far
advanced.

HALIFAX MARKET.—We had a numerous attendance of mer-
chants here on Saturday, who seemed to buy very freely both of
goods and yarn. Prices were very firm, but there was no quo-
table advance.
- - -

BRADFORD MARKRT.—There is no slackening in the demand
fcr worsted and mixed fabrics, which meet ready sale as rapidly
as produced, at steady prices. For yarns also the demand con-
t ones pretty uniform, and we have no alteration to note in
prices. There was rather more activity in the wool market on
Thursday, late prices being fully maintained.
ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET:—The market has been mach
the same as for some weeks past; perhaps with rather less in-
quiry for the coarser kind of goods. There has not been much
activity in the wool market, and no change in prices.
LEICESTE a.—The past week has been quiet as regards wools,
the stocks on hand being heavy; and, judging from the state of
this and other markets, there does not seem much probability
of their advancing further at present. The general trade is very
good, but presents no new feature since last week to call for no-
tice here.—Leicester Chronicle.

HOSIERY AND LACE TRAD ES .—WC regret much to state, that
many of the master stockingers who are engaged in the manu-
facture of cotton hose, Ceclare they never knew trade in a much
worse state, as employment cannot to obtained even for the
hosiers' frames. The expectations that have been for some time
so loudly cherished of a demand for this description of goods for
China has not been realized, nor do we consider, from what we
have learnt from persons who have acted as supercargoes to
India vessels trading to that count y that this is likely to take
place. The drawer branch is a shade further improved. but not
to the extent of giving full employment to this description of
work people. The cotton cut-up hose trade is in an extreme
dull state; and many of the masters have to dance long attend-
ances upon the warehouses for material. The silk hosiery trade
is in the most deplorable condition ; and we hear of nothing but
misery and privations amongst this once flourishing body cf
workmen, who are certainly the -most depre=sed of any body of
operatives.in the kingdom, not even excluding the Spitalfields
weavers. The bobbin-net trade is still dull, and nets even of the
best patterns are not in full demand. The warp lace branch is
in much the same state as it had been in for the last few weeks,
partaking a little of the general dulness, which was to be ex-
pected.—Nuttingham Journal.
