STATE OF TRADE.

LEEns.--The increased animation in our markets which we
recently noticed still continues ; and as some of our leading
Merchants are busily engaged in their warehouses till late hours,
the effect is felt in both the Cloth Flails. A good deal of busi-
ness is now doing for the American trade, principally, we are
happy to say, in the finer sorts of cloth, which requir a larger
Portion of animal and mechanical labour than the lighter fa-
cies; and hence there is better employment for the operative
artizans.
i3RALFORD MARKET.—There was a good attendance of mer-
chants at this market on Thursday, who bought rather freely,
notwithstanding which prices were not quite so firm as of late,
I,rhe prices of Yarn and of Wool having within the last few days,
ern some cause not ful y explained, lost something of their
Previous elasticity. Yarns met lather her ter sale at the reducA
rates, but there was not a corresponding degree of activity in the
Wool market.
ti RennsitspinLn MARKET.—The trade of this district Still COn-
oVes brisk. On Tuesday there was a full average attendance
noYers, and as stocks are low prices were kept up. There is
an increasing increasing demand for plain cloths, but any new styles in
fey.... goods are bought up with avidity. Nothing new in the
',eel market.
HALIFAX MARKET.—The attendance here on Saturday was
teed; and as goods are taken off as rapidly as they are turned
C bY the manufacturers, late prices are fu ly maintained.
.ernbing Wools sold freer a
at recent rates ; but the prices of
"Ming wools of the middle and inferior qualities were not
rlllite so firm.

enol there were nut so many purchas: rs as there were on

portation. The blanket weavers in this neighbourhood have
ade a " strike" for an advarce of wages, and we understand

printing cloths are firm, and stocks in the atinfac-
-nds were never known to be lighter at this season of
the year; the printers and merchants being also bare of stock,
a further decline is not expected, at least for some months to
carneoor several or he printers have commenced contracting
for Cloth for the autumn. The yarn market is also firmer.
Domestic cloth and fusti-ms are still heavy, with a downward
tendency in priee, but so many manufacturers have turned to
lighter cloths that we hope and cap: ct they will soon improve.
Next week is a holiday, and business wid nearly be suspended.

Manchester Advertiser, Saturday.
HOSIERY AND LACE TRADES.—We are sorry to state that
there is a general damp in the drawer and pantaloon branch.
The fancy silk hose branch has somewhat improved, and the
hands generally are once more employed. The plain silk hose
branch has also improved a shade, especially in Derbyshire, and
such is the scarcity of female embro derers (who have been led
to seek for other employment). that placards are posted it several
villages in that county, st,-,ting that cheveners are wanted by the
,‘erbY hosiers. The plain silk glove trade h s considerably im-
proved in Derby and the county, but at Nottingham this is not
an the least perceptible, both the master glove hands and their
Jstill ourneymen suffering severely. The fancy bobbin-net branch
