STATE OF TRADE

MANCHESTER.—The improved feeling noticed at the com-
mencement of the week in our- market has continued to its
close, and has led to a larger amount of business than has been
transacted in the same time for the past few weeks. Confidence
in prices has increased, and producers are not: now pressing
their goods on the market, nor offering at the low prices which
some were recently willing to accept. Stocks of yarns are
bare, and spinners are moderately under contract, in a good
many instances, at slightly improved rates. Cops for the home
trade are less affected by the increased demand, though they
are also sold freely; but bundle yarn in water twist from. 20's
to 30's, and in mule from 40's to 60's, are very scarce, and
to id. per lb. clearer; while spinners of warps, from 20'sto 28's
can readily contract at full prices for the next month or six
weeks. There has been a fair amount of business doing to
Germany during the week in water twist, and also- in 40's
mule, and buyers for that market are now more inclined to
give ont orders for this and part of next month. The demand
for the Mediterranean market has been steady, and to-a consi-
derable amount. Operations for India have been more exten-
sive, and 40's to 70's mule suitable for that market have been
largely bought, at prices id. to id. per lb. higher than could be
obtained last week. The cloth market, though stiffer than last
week, and in some kinds of goods a little dearer, has scarcely
improved to the extent visible in the yarn market. lid. to 3d.
per piece ..dvance has been asked on some classes of goods,
and in not a few cases obtained; but the demand, which has
been considerable, has in general been supplied at the full
rates of last week. Domestics and printers are firm, at former
prices, and the latter have been in good demand during the
week. Shirtings, and oilier goods suitable for India, have been
sold largely, and an advance on last week's rates has been esta
blished. .

MANCHESTER IRON MARKET.-It may not be uninteresting
to our readers to have laid before them an approximate state-
rnent of the present stock of Scotch pig iron in Scotland :
Tons.

tity shipped; the'other colculations have been made froth the
most reliable data. In the matter of consumption we have
been assured by a competent authority, that our estimate is
understated by upwards of 20,000 tons. If this is the case, the
stock in hand at present will show a diminution of 50.000 tons
as compared with 1850. This result strikingly exhibits the in-
fluence of low prices in stimulating consumption, as in the face
of a greatly enhanced " make" in the present over last year,
we have now a considerable reduction in the stock. During
the week, prices have been the turn in favour of the buyers,
chiefly from lack of business, but there is no great amount of
iron pressing on the market. Quotations at Runcorn and
Fleetwood for G.M.B. 445. 6d. cash; free on board at Glas-
gow, 395.

ROCHDALE.—We had a very flat market on Monday, and the
business transacted was upon a limited scale, but without any
change in prices. The wool dealers complain of having nothing
to do. Coarse English wools from 10d. to Is. per lb. are rather
seance, and prices very firm ; while wools above that price are
rather easier. Colonial wools are looking up, as the London
sales are higher, and they fetch better prices by Id. or Lid.
