STATE OF TRADE.

ANCIIESTER.—The amount of business in this market has,
wile whole, been anoderate in extent during the week. Prices
are generally well maintained, both for goods and yarn ; in the
former very full rates, for most dsecriptions, are realized, and,
in some instances, an adranceon the current rates of Tuesday
has been asked. In the yarn market a pretty brisk demand
has been maintained for Indian ,nambers, more especially run-
ning on common 40's, which are now relatively higher than the
better qualities of the same number.
.The German houses are
buying for present delivery, but not giving out orders beyond
What can be supplied at the moment, in order to ensure arrival
out, as far as possible, before the closing of the navigation.,
Manufacturers are supplying their wants to a fair extent, but
do not seem inclined to buy more than will .keep them well at
work. In the cloth market shirtings for India maintain full
prices. The middle and better qualities of printers have teen
mere in demand again since Tuesday, both by the home trade
and print houses,-and the highest prices are readily obtained.
The Greek houses have been making more inquiry since Tues-
-day, both for longand T. cloths; the former are very scarce,
and for the latter an advance of lid. per piece •was asked in a
few instances yesterday, and to agreater extent to-day; the ad-
vance was not given, but the nar+l-- • - 't being P'"

parties requiring i. ,ull of
orders, were not inclined to accept further contracts, except at
the advance asked.

ROCI-f DA LE FLANNEL MARKET.—There has been a good de-
mand for all sorts of flannel goods, and a full average quantity
sold. Prices generally same as our last. The wool market has
:been moderately brisk. Brokeb and skins fetched the formai,
...,u ruiel7l wool may be quoted a shade lower. The
'confidence in this market is restored, and there is double the
quantity of business done at market-day to what there was the
last year at this season.

LEEDS.—The woollen trade, for the time of the year, is in a
moderate active condition. A fair average amount of purchases
.continues to be made, and the manufacturers are as well em-
ployed as usual at this season. Prices are firm, and stocks are
•not very large.

BRADFORD.—WooI-s; This market, in consequence of the
recent augmented purchases, is worse suppled, and there is a
bareness in the stock not observable for some months past,
consequently prices are firm at last week's quotations. Nails
and brokes present no material change either in price or de-
mand. Yarns: There is decidedly more doing both in carded
.and combed yarns, not only for shipment, but home consump-
tion, and at some advance in prices. Pieces; There is nothing
material since our last as regards the transaction in goods,
which are held in unusual small quantity, and the manufactu-
rers generally working to order.

the warehouses there is a better demand for
goods, principally for moreens, which meet with a ready sale.
Yarns continue to be in request for the continent, and the spin-
ners are fully employed. In consequence of the late advance in
wool, they have asked, and pretty generally obtained, a corres-
ponding advance in yarns. The wool market remains firm,
and, in some sorts there is a moderate amount of business
doing.

HUDDERSFIELD.—A very quiet market here this week.
which is anticipated during this season of the year; as many
of the merchants are preparing to take down their stocks for
Christmas, and the manufacturers engaged in bringing out
styles suitable for the spring trade.
