STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHYSTER.—The intelligence of the success of
vermment measure in the House of Lords (which react
chester at noon yesterday by means of an extraordi,
press of the London Times of the same morning) has
extensive degree of animation upon 'change ; and th

cannot yet report any visible amendment in prices the tone of
the market is decidedly firmer and healthier. The intervention
of the holydays and the absence already of some of our leading
men have provided a scarcity of transactions. but we anti-
cipate an excellent summer trade at the end of the Whitsuntide
season. Prices as last week.
ROCPIDALL.—We had a rather better demand for flannels on
Monday, and more pieces were sold than last week. In the
Wool market, the business transacted was limited, but prices
firm.
',BEDS —The amount of business done in the purchase of
Woollens has been smaller than the average of the last few
weeks; but there Is no consequent depression in the trade.
The " Derby week" is noted as one when buyers are scanty in
number ; and to the occurrence of that period of time, and the
existence of the corn law debate in the House of Lords, may
be attributed the apparent falling oft in business this week.
Manufacturers are generally running full time, and many of
them are not making cloths on speculation, but to order.
131tADFORD.—WOOL.—We do not hear of any more business
doing in Combing Wools, nor any change in prices. In Colo-
nial Wools the market is getting better suppliied, and Wool m=y
be had on rather easier terms. YARNS.—There is nothing het-

ter this week, and the prospect of remuneration to the spinner
appears distant, as no giving way in the price of wool occurs to
brighten their cheerless position. And the price of Yarn- pre-
sents the same ruinous state of things; strengthening the pro-
bability th.t that destitution to which it has been our painful
duty so frequently to refer, is still to continue. PIECES.—The
continuance of such propitious weather, and the hope of the

of confidence that we shall have a return to activity : and our
market on Thursday has exhibited some symptoms of anima.
tion among the home trade houses, who are now looking out
for and ordering goods suitable for the autumn.
HUDDERSFIELD.-There was a good stroke of business done
in our market on Tuesday. New styles in winter goods have
been a good deal sought after; kerseys have also been In consi-
derable request. Prices are lower, particularly in low goods.
As we have before stated, a good autumn trade is generally an-
ticipated.
LEICESTER.—We have nothing particular to report this week.
Worsted goods have been inquired after, but no sales of any
consequence have been effected. Yarns con' inue firm; ana
some large transactions in wool have taken place.
HOSIERY AND LACE TRADES.—The condition of the wrought
stocking trade is still declining, nor are the cut-up branches in
a much better state. The cotton glove trade still keeps pretty
good, and in some instances orders can scarcely be completed,
and as the glove trade employs nearly 3,050 frames, it acts as a
great relief to the other branches. The drawer, pantaloon, and
shirt branch is yet but very dull in many quarters, though
there are some shops that have had full work during the whole
of the depression. The fancy bobbin net trade is considered
worse than ever, and a general despondency has taken place,
both among the machine-owners and the workmen. The warp
lace trade has by no means amended, and a general despon-
dency prevails amongst the body of able workmen. With the
exception of a few frames which have applied the Jacquard,
this once important manufacture seems paralysed, with but
faint hopes for the future—as the blonde trade is pressed on one
hand by French tulles (no doubt imported under a secret
bounty), and by Tiverton-made nets on the other. The making
of such lace in Nottingham from unboiled silk, worked up in
the gum (a task too hard for the Lyons frames.) has pre-erved a
remnant of this manufacture to this district.—Nottingham
