MANCHESTER.—The feeling in the market has been oft
favourable nature since Tuesday, The advices from ilwcpifi,
the rise in the cotton market, at Liverpool, have boto_d
buted to this more unfavourable disposition. The deal ;illl4
India has in a great measure subsided, and business genevitil:r
interrupted by the increased rates which the advance
cotton market has compelled both spinners and manufatiog'i
to ask; generally speaking, buyers are more inclined_ bl„
the higher rates asked, previous to this week, but Poft';
means an equivalent for the more recent rise in the prier
raw material, which now amounts to fully id. per lb. f dit
rates of Friday last. Purchasers are, for the momea'W'
dined to place themselves in a worse position, that helateo;
enough before; the movement has, consequently, reswsil,
a return to a state of inactivity. It is quite evident, thot,
market will not at present bear any advance in prices. pd
is not sufficient demand from any part of the world; cii;
for the home trade it is in a most unsatisfactory state. #l5
such circumstances a rise in the price of cotton can 00/0'1)
to a reduction in the hours of working the mills in the
factoring districts, bringing with it additional misellobv
already poverty stricken operatives. It is quite imP°2s9,
raise the market ; and those spinners who, in the a" iist
demand, might have continued running their mills, ojlt re z!
ton remained low, (although by that means they mig
cumulating stock) will certainly not continue to do 0;09)
have not the raw material at a low rate. Althougb,Voi
continue to work in the face of dull markets, they will p d
so in the face of a rising cotton market.

LEEnsThe woollen trade remains in the same c
we have had to notice for some time; but, if anythilliecieji
are more inquiries for goods suited for the spring t!'
that by both the home and foreign houses. There is
ceptible alteration in prices, and stocks are not iteaVY•sitiF,o
BRA DFortri.—Wool : The business doing is of a ti,4;i!
character; as there is no,-iving way hrprice to meet
ers, the sales are small. The quantity in the grOwer'.,,tliey
far above an average of last year in February, wheio
usually a disposition to sell, but without a material l',00:5
from the prices now sought, it cannot get into the eotiliipfie
hands. Yarns: The small quantity of Yarns
.now c°ll
market clearly indicates that the production is to acttlerdi
and the stocks on hand very small: the spinners rat•prol'
ferring to have their machinery totally idle, than effecVfot,
at the current prices. Mohair Yarns are still inquired, lier
the spinners so engaged are
generally busy. Pieces hal
cent arrival of the Caledonia steamer from America sd,'
brought many orders, the high price of money acting rs,foefti,
back to giving orders for the autumn : and the
shiplorlif ;41
spring being closed, causes our market to be hardly „
the opening of the year. The home-trade houses are no'
active, and on the whole the transactions of the day
been encouraging. joly
HUDDERSFIELD.—More goods this week have been be"idt
of iu the Cloth Hall than for some weeks past. In
houses there is a general complaint that the past P.,,rs,r,
been the dullest that has been exprienced for some Yea co
ia`y
have scarcely a week without the announcement of 04 f
failures affecting this district, which may easily acco
want of confidence that oppresses our trade. ~fOP„
ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET.—Tbere was a nua,'%lo:4
tendance of both buyers and sellers in the market
and a better confidence has been restored. There
good demand for fine and middle qualities of fini., 110,:f
which were sold at much the same prices as on thia,,!,`,l
There was rather more selling in coarse flannels' re,
Yorkshire goods than for several weeks past. 1): orlu
moderate quantity of wool disposed of at fully as hi,
on this day week

HOSIERY AND LACE TRADES.—The glove trade,ll4o
and silk, seems gradually improving. The cotton hri!till
in a more depressed condition. The drawer branch %of I
in an improved state, and great activity prevails in Ir„"ps.o
shops; but this, we regret to say, has many exceptiTtrival
bobbin net trade is yet in a state of considerable con,tirP;i
as the principal factory still continues to discharge to:: to t)
many of them of twenty years standing. The factco..'oolll
we alluded last week has not stopped, but has stilf 00,
time to four hours per day. On all skies we hear
but distressed machine.owners, and of course rtinl,
things worse than they really are, by stating that 51,e,0104

years, and if true, most of the machine-owners mustid
upon the list of paupers.—Nottingbain Journal.
