LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, APRIL 17.
The market has beer, again influenced by the excess of re-
ceipts at the ports of the United States, as compared with the
corresponding period of last year; and as some holders have
in consequence evinced more determination to effect sales, the
quantity offering has been large, and buyers have obtained a
concession of fully id. per lb. All descriptions participate in
this decline. Speculators have taken 1900 American, 20 Per-
pain, 50 hlaranliam, 30 Egyptian, and 560 Surat, and exporters
990 American, 100 Pernam, and 160 Surat.

DUBLIN CATTLE MARKET. APRIL 17.

and the prices somewhat downwards, from the state of the
Liverpool markets. For Beef, in sink, the prices were 38s. to
445. per cwt. Mutton, 5d to 60. ; prime, (id. Veal, 7d. rer
; lgmhs, 15s. to 255. each. The pig market a large one, and
last advance fully had—prices, 365. to 40s. per cwt.; some

STATE OF TRADE

MANCtitSITR.—The wavering confidence in prices has been
somewhat further weakened by the American advice& received
on Monday night; and the continued at Renee of business, ex-
perienced by the home-trade houses, which, of course, pre-
vents their giving orders to the manufacturers, is also contri-
buting to the same result, by increasing the sense' of our
present dependence upon foreign markets, some of which—
and those very important ones—are considered to be already
more than sufficiently supplied. The consequence was an
inanimate and drooping state of things on Tuesday. In Yarns,
the purchases of the home consumers consisted of small indi-
vidual parcels for the supply of immediate wants; while the
only foreign buyers of the least moment were the Germans,
whose operations, however,, were but inconsiderable.
LEEDS.—A good average business has been done this week,
both in the Cloth Halls and the warehouses, at prices fully as
high as hose which have for some time prevailed.
BRA DFOltD.—The chief demand for piece goods is for the
home trade, which continues steady. There is evidently less
doing than at the corresponding period of last ear, and prices
of the manufactured article of yarns.are low. The general
suit of the forthcoming Leipsic fair will have, in all probabi-
lity, a good deal of influence on our staple trade. Wools are
bate in stock, but manufacturers hesitate to give the prices
asked.

HALIFAX.—The chief inquiry in our Piece Hall, on Satur-
day, was for low lastings and low mixtures. The demano,
however, is not brisk; and the prices offered are not remune-
rative. Both in yarn and wool rather more purchases have
been made: but the markets are sti!l dull, and the quotations
without variation. •

rirDDERSFIELD.—The amount of business transacted this
week in the Cloth Hall has not been large. Low goods of light
texture have. principally been dealt in. There is rather more
briskncs3 in the fancy trade, than there bas been for some
time, and most of the manufacturers in that branch are very
brisk in vestings of new Blies and patterns for the summer
home trade. A little more has been done in the yarn trade at
steady prices.

RO6IDALE.—The flannel market is sti
loins:, yet there has been rather more in

eavy, and not much
iry for goods. The

wool market continues slack, but former prices are fully main

The ill-
iderablv

MA CCLESlTlELD.—Manufacturers are exercising renewed
caution. and stopping production where practicable.
creased business done in throwns of late has now cot
subsided. and prices, though reduced, may he quoted nomina.
the dispositi,,n of merchants to concede materially in their
prices of rows (probably in some instances to the extent of Is.
per lb.), having most likely contributed to this,and induced so
decided a pause.

VEICESTEII.—we have not been able to trace any improve-
ment in the state of the home trade for hosiery goods during
the week, but there is a disposition to suppose Wools and
Yarns are now as low as they are likely to be un to shear-day.
Some of the spinners in the town have advanced low sorts of
Yarns a trifle this week, and anticipate further advances
There have been further orders given out during the week for
America., and some houses are busy for this market.
THE WEST OF ENGLAND.—The reports trom Stroud and
the neighbouring places where the woollen manufactories are
carried on are very gloomy. Trade is dull, and both home and
foreigt orders are of very sma►l amount. Those from Ger-
many and other countries on the continent have very much
diminished of late, in consequence of nuo.erous man ntactories
having been established there; and at the list Leipsie fair the
English manufacturers were unable to purchase Saxony Wool
to any extent, nearly the whole having been engaged by Ger
man and other continental manufacturers, who avai, them
selves of every new improve -

material on the spot, and wages being extremely low, are able
to undersell our manufacturers in ilie continental markets,
and even to import goods at a lower price into this comary.
