STATE OF TRADE

MA/CHESTER.—The market has been characterised by ex-
treme quietness,and a disposition on the part of buyers to ope-
rate sparingly. There is apparently a greater willingness in
spinners to take in fresh orders, and where engagements are
rapidly coming to an end they do so on easier terms than they
were willing to accept a week ago. This, however, does not
extend to more than id. per lb.; and some numbers of water
twist much in demand, still maintain the prices of last week,
particularly where the desire for early delivery can be complied
with. Considering the present cautious proceedings of buyers,
and the limited orders which for some time have been given
out, there is very little pressure of stock on the yarn market,
and a majority of spinners are still tolerably well engaged. In
cloth, the tendency is in favour of the buyer, but prices are,
upon the whole, well sustained, particularly for domestics, T
cloths, &c., for which a moderate demand continues to be ex-
perienced. Lighter fabrics, such as jacconets, madapollams,
40-inch shirtings, &c., are drooping in price, with a limited
inquiry. _ _

ROCHDALE.—There is no improvement in the flannel market.
The merchants continue to buy very sparingly at previous
prices. The manufacturers are beginning to complain that
country orders come in rather slackly; and if there is not a
change, stocks will begin to increase at the very time of the
year when the demand should be the briskest. There is no
change in price in wool, but the dealers complain that they
have nothing to do. _ _

.„
LliEns.—The woollen trade continues moderately active, an
average business is doing; but manufacturers complain that
the prices obtained are not sufficiently remunerative.
MACCLESFIELD.—Trade here is anything but brisk, with the
exception of some descriptions of figured and plain goods,
which are much in demand; those of the former description
being generally good and new styles just issued. There is evi-
dently a want of goods; but there is also want of confidence on
the part of the wholesale merchants, who do business with very
great caution, and offer low rates. It is the apprehension of
some of the principal manufacturing houses that the autumn
trade is nearly brought to a close. The improved feature in
the Manchester market brought several buyers to the town on
Friday; but the business done was but little more than the
average of the few past weeks. In the trimming business there
is not much doing, with the exception of gimp, which conti-
nues good. The dyers are slack of work.
NOTTINGHAM.—Lace: The quiet state of our business re-
ported for the few past weeks still continues, notwithstanding
it as a period when we usually expect to have more trade than
at any other time of the 5 ear. The principal business doing
has been in black silk laces. Plain nets have not yet been sold
at higher prices, although an advance is needed upon those
goods, the makes of which are dissatisfied with present prices,
as they know they must shortly have to give a higher price for
doubled yarn, cops being scarce at an advanced price, in con-
sequence of a considerably increased foreign demand.—
Hosiery: We have had a more animated business this week
than we have experienced for some time, having had a fair de-
mand for the country trade, with the addition of some consider-
able orders for the United States for hose, drawers, and shirts
of the heavier descriptions. Orders are not yet given for
fashioned hose or gloves. but they are shortly expected. The
vice of yarn is not altered.

PRESTON, SE PT. 27.—Several vessels have worked up during
the week, laden with Grain (chiefly Oats) and Oatmeal from
Ireland. The dealers continue to act with extreme caution in
all their operations; and increased deliveries from the farmers
around us tending still further to depreciate the value of each
article of the trade, they have had no difficulty in supplying
their immediate requirements from day to day at a gradual
decline in prices. There was a liberal supply of English Wheat
at our Corn Exchange this morning, a considerable quantity
of which was of middling quality, and met a slow sale at irre-
gular prices ; whilst fine samples were readily cleared at full
rates. No new Irish at hand. Old Foreign declined Id. per
bushel. Flour meets a languid sale, at an abatement of Is.
per pack. Oats in fair request. Oatmeal offered freely at a
reduction of 2s. per load.
WAKEFIELD, SErr. 26.—We have a moderate arrival of
wheat, but the show of new is not so good as last week ; buyers
act with More confidence, and the prices of last Friday arc
somewhat exceeded. A fair quantity of new barley is offering,
and the best qualities are taken at a decline of 2s. per quarter.
Oats are id. per stone, and shelling Is. per quarter cheaper.
Beans and other articles are without alteration.
NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, SEPT. 27.—Until Thursday
morning, last the weather ruled fair. but since then it has rained
without intermission, accompanied, on Thursday night, with a
perfect hurricane of wind from the north-east. There is still
a good deal of corn out in the fields in the lake districts of this
county, which must have sustained injury. The quantity of
new Wheat to-day from the farmers was much about the same
as last Saturday, although greatly inferior both in quality and
condition. Fine dry parcels were selected early, at a trifling
advance, whilst other descriptions maintained late rates, and a
good clearance was effected. There was only a limited supply
of south country new, vi hich was disposed of at prices quite
equal to this day se'nnight :—say 375. to 38s. per quarter, 63 to
64 lbs. per bushel. For old Wheat, English as well as foreign,
there was' an improved demand, and some quantity changed
hands at priecs that could not be realized during the week.
There has been no sales of Malting Barley yet, and grinding is
without alteration in value. English and Scotch old Oats main-
tain late rates; new, however, are Is. per quarter cheaper,
Foreign still continues 6ifficult to quit. Rye in great demand
for export to the continent. Pease are held for more money.
In the value of Beans no change. Flour as last quoted. The
Potato disease spreads rapidly in this district.
WISBECH, SEP. 27.—There is only a moderate supply of
Wheat here to-day, and fully Is. more money is paid for all
kinds. Oats are more plentiful, and ls. per quarter cheaper.
Beans no alteration.

DUBLIN, SEPT. 26.—There was a good supply of new grain
at the market to-day. Wheat, oats, and distillers' barley, met
a quiet demand at about the currencies of Tuesday, except
oats, which were in some instances a shade lower. Malting
barley was 3d. dearer. Old grain, and Indian Corn continues
extremely depressed.

CORK; SEP. 27.—Our market is without change in value
this week, and the business is entire y a consumptive demadd
for Flour and foreign Wheats. At the Corn Exchange we havo
a fair show of samples in good condition, which quickly meet
buyers.

lIELFAST, SEPT. Z.—The weather has continued favourable
since our last, but to-day we have the equinoxial gales in full
force. There is still a considerable extent of Oats uncut in
this neighbourhood, but other crops are generally pretty well
housed. There has been no increased activity in the trade this
week ; buyers, on the contrary, were rather reserved in their
operations, and business has not been extensive. The reports
of the Potato crop in this vicinity, we regret to say, do not im-
prove; and we can only confirm the opinion expressed in our
last, that as food for the poor during the coming winter and
spring, Potatoes cannot be calculated on. In other localities,
however, the injury sustained has not been at all so general.—
At this day's market the supply of home-grown Wheat was
large, and sellers of foreign were numerous. The demand for
Irish was dull at 7s. to 7s. 11d. per cwt.; while foreign parcels,
in store, met little attention. New Oats, with a dull demand,
sold at ss. to Gs. 3d.; old, 6s. to 7s. 6d. per cwt. The supply
of Oatmeal was large, and the demand but middling. Flour
dull of sale at previous prices. Indian Corn not much sought
for, and prices barely maintained.

LIVERPOOL, SEPT. 29.—The supply of Beasts and Sheep was
not Quite so heavy as last week, there being 174 fewer Beasts,
and 1882 'fewer Sheep. Still there was abundance for the
demand, which was very languid, and prices very variable.
The heavy stock we have had these several weeks past has
materially assisted in producing this state of things.

DUBLIN, SEPT. 25.—The market to-day was very well

in prices, graziers saying that heifers. bought at Ballinasloe
last October, are not paying them over three pounds a-head
for year's grass. Sheep were also lower. Prices of beef. in
sink, 355. Od. to 425. per cwt. ; mutton, 40. to 50 ; veal, 6d.
