STATE OF TRADE.

MANCREs'rEtt.—During the early part of the Week btlsiness
`Zes brisk, and most descriptions of cloth Were selling freely at
current rates of last week. The news brought by the
Acadia produced a decline in the Liverpool cotton market,
which influenced prices here also. This was the case in almost
au descriptions of goods. In printing goods of all widths a
tensible decline was felt, and even in domeStics a reduction has
tribe experienced. The yarn market is also dull. What con-
utes to this state of things is the fact, that printers will re-
e, for six or seven weeks to come, very slight quantities of
cloth.
There is, however, much sound of preparation for the
"'Milli. Prices are about as follows :-27-inch 66's may be
I.l.iloted 5s to 5s aid; and 72's Ss 7id to 6s.—.llanchester Adler-
, of Saturday.
d El)S.—The demand for Woollens of both plain and fancy
Fscriplions still continues active, the sales effected being prin.
aipallY, we are happy to say, for domestic consumption. The
wool trade continues tolerably brisk, and as the stocks of fo-
gn in the hands of the staplers are getting lower in antic'-
ion of the reduction of the duty, prices are pretty generally
sustained.
tor HUDDERSFIELD MARKET.—The improvement in the demand
r I,
"el' Fabrics which we recently noticed still continues, the
N uirernents of domestic consumers having prolonged the ac-
Nseltiyartehiagto s
would, e.e this, have declined upon the cessation of
ring trade. On Tuesday there was agood attend-
tee of merchants, many of wh, m bought freely g
not only of
Wear.
eY goods but of plain cloths suitable for summer and autumn
_BRADFORD MA imrr.—There was rather a thin attendance of
!liercharits at this market on Thursday, and the market was on
waTe whole considered a quiet one; yet, judging by the carriers'
ggons and the dyers' carts, there has been fully as many
tolerably sold as for some weeks past. The Yarn market was
Fool active, and late prices were fully maintained. The
market was ninch the same as last week, both as to de-
anrt priceS.
HAI 'FAX MARRET.—The attendance of buyers at this mar-
sorat on. Saturday was fully- as good as on any market day for
late e tnne Past, and an average amount of business was done at
thin rates. The wool market was moderately active, but no-
g,, Particularly worthy of note occurred.
the :an; WEEKLY WADL MARKET, May 16.—These markets for
meet an
eeiliiP of Wools have opened this day. As a commence-
sold, anct had only. about 50 sheets laid down, but it was not all
a snilliug Perellar"rb. portion of what was sold fetched less than

Rutz.
Until the gth of MAREET.—This wool market will commence
une n•xt' and be held on every succeeding Tuesday
August ensuing.
at LINEN TRADE.—The Linen trade at this place is
a, present moderately brisk, principally for home orders.
ROCKDALE FLANNEL MARKET.-We have had an improved
denaaud for flannels to-day, and rather more business has been
trallSOZted, but at very low prices. There is very little change
in the wool market; the manufacturer manifests no disposition
to purchase beyond what is required (pr immediate use.

l.nrczwrza.-:—The demand fo-r all the lower qualities of goods
-continues fair, and in fancy articles and loom work generally
there is an increased business doing. The prices of Wools and
Yarns remain unaltered.—Leicestershire Mercury.

HOSIERY AND LACE
TRADES.—The wrought cotton hose
branch is still in an improving state, the hands in general being
fly employed : the fine departents are the dullest. The cut-
oP hose branch is still very brisk. The cotton glove trade is
also very brisk; and this week it seems that the agitation as to
wages has subsided. The drawer and pantaloon branch has not
wooproved from the dull state in which it has been for several
Weeks past, but still the frames are pretty well employed in this
vicinitY• The silk glove trade in Nottingham is extremely de-
Pressed, and nothing can exceed the misery of most of the
workmen, whilst the masters are fast sinking under the expenses
of rent arid taxes shops containing twenty frames have fre-
liu.ikedly,
aotnlDyntn7comor three at work. But what seems most sur-
P!'iSing to us is, that while the Nottingham hands are thus pin-
and Derby this branch is brisk, the Notting-
nazi hosiers sending their best frames into Derbyshire—the
ems ployers ;
--v'og' there higher wages than are paid in Notting-
-120.m, and Pni
--P.oy the same journeymen, who not unfrequently
I,IOW their frames when they have act families. The fancy
bobbin net trade in some departments has a little rallied,
.but
ow4eavY weight of high.priced thread keeps the machine-
to Profits down ; still there is a great speculation in build-
cog;n"tt,e 'Machines, generally above 16-quarters . when these
e into
hPeration a very great change in the value of aces and and the profits of nets may be expected. The warp lace
rue still keeps brisk in all its departments, arising from the
~,ae,,quard machines makinte g iitation Brussels ground to lap
Press, and lace mitts.- Journal.
