MANCHEItTER.—This being a comp:e`e holiday week and as no
weighty sales have been made, or at least reported, no room is
left for remark, except that cloth of all kinds is understood to be
as last week reported. Yarns, too, remained unchanged in
value.

LEEDS.—Owing to the Whitsuntide holidays, the markets
were not so active at our Cloth Halls, either on Saturday or
Tuesday last, as they were on the two preceding market days.
The stocks of low goods are slightly on the increase, but those
of the finer cloths continue low. No alteration can be noticed
in prices, which remain firm. The staple trade, in all its
branches, is healthful, but consumers still complain of the high
price of wool.

BRADFORD.—There is no particular feature of change to
notice in the staple trade of this town. As usual at Whitsun-
tide, scarcely an average amount of business has been done
this week. Short Wool is eagerly sought after, and commands
good prices. The supply of the Long Wool is small, and as
high prices are demanded the manufacturers purchase just to
supply their immediate wants. The prices of Yarn remain sta-
tionary.

HUDDERSFIELD.—Less business than usual was transacted in
our market on Tuesday last, a fact which may be accounted for
by the occurrence of the Whitsuntide holidays. Prices remain
steady for summer goods; until the autumn trade sets in,
which it will do in the course of a few weeks, we may anticipate
that there will be no change of great moment.
HALreAx.—Our market in the Hall on Saturday was better
attended by merchants, and more goods sold than on the pre-
ceding market-day, principally in light goods for the home
trade. The transactions in Wool during the week have been
upon an average as reported for the last few weeks, and prices
are steady.

ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET.—There has been a good de-
mand for flannels to-day, at prices rather on the advance. In
the Wool Market there is little change; prices are firm, but the
manufacturers not eager to purchase.

LEICIZSTER.—In Weals and Yarns there is ♦ery little variation
since our last. The spring demand has been somewhat checked
by the coldness of the few last days. The general trade is dull
also. A few American orders have been received this week,
but the recent intelligence from that country is of a chequered
and doubtful character.

HOSIERY AND LACE TaAnss.--The wrought cotton hose
branch, which is the principal manufacture cf the county of
Nottingham, as respects the number of workmen employed, is
gradually retrograding in about the same ratio as it advanced
for the last twelve months. The cut-up branch is also gra-
dually declining. The drawer and pantaloon branch is consi-
derably worse ; some of the houses delivering out their mate-
rial s with a sparing hand. The silk glove trade is still brisk,
and hands are as scarce as ever, and likely to continue so.
There is a slight movement in the silk knotted hose trade for
low-priced stockings. The plain silk hose branch is lamentably
bad ; hands are not, however, to be obtained. The fancy bob-
bin net trade is not amended. We hear on all hands of ma-
chines stopping, and apprehensions from the workmen of stop-
ping more. The warp lap and press branch is still much
depressed, and seems to a certain extent stagnant; still there
are considerable hopes of a revival. The blonde fancy trade is
very good, and is likely to continue so, from the elegant articles
made. The silk blonde branch is gradually reviving, but still
very slowly. The tatting and cotton branches have met with a
depression, but not to a serious extent.—Nottingham Journal.
