STATE OF TRADE

MANCHESTER.—The depression in our market has undergone
no abatement since Tuesday, as far as goods ate concerned.
The qnot tions of prices are not lower. Yarns continue dull;
yet there is:, we think, rather more doing in them than there
was in the earlier pait of the week. Considering the state of
the money market, a remarkah'e fi mness Is maintained in
p. ices geoerally, owing to the lightness of stocks in most things,
and the prevalent conviction that the existing difficulties wll
gradually pass away.—Guardian, of Saturday.

LANCASIII RE.—The cal co block printing trade at Manchester
and the neighbouring towns is very dull, and on an avera2e
operatives have no.. half em loyment. At Blackburn during the
last fortnight there has been a good demand for most descrip•
ns of C Von goods, but tnanufacturers complain very much
of the small amount of profits. The Yarn market remains firm,
and in some instances rather higher prices have been obtained.
The stocks are low, and spinners do not appear anxious to push
sales. Power loom co ton weavers are moderately employed,
and lately a large number of the hand-loom operatives have
commenced working upon power-looms. Hand-loom waiving
continues very dull, operatives we only partially employed, and
they have to submit to abatements in their small earnings for
the m• st trifling faults 8-me masons and other out door
labourers, who are mostly employed at the Station House. and
other works on the Blackburn and Preston railway, which are
fast progressing towards completion, have moderate of employ-
ment. Mechanics. moulders. and pouter loom machine-makers
have not so much work as they had a few months ago, and
plasterers and painters have scarcely anything to do. Calico
block printing at Church Parish. Accrington. Oswaldtwisle, and
their vicinities, is extremely dull, and at some shops hands have
not more than two days' work per week, whilst many have no
work. Machine making in the same districts is improving.
S lk weaving at Manchester and the neighbouring towns in-
creases every week.

ROCIIDA Lg.—There was about an average demand for flannels
on Monday. at the prices of last week. There was no change
whatever in the wool market.

LEEDS.—The staple trade of t' is town awl neighbourhoood
still continues quiet; and not the slightest change of importance
has taken place since our last. The manufacturers are maki.,g
rather less goods than they were last year at this time; but
stocks are not at all larger, and prices are firm. The tenor of
the last fleas from America has given a little buoyancy to trade
here, and some of the foreign houses are doing a fair business
Till the fate of Sir Robert Peel's commercial changes is deter-
mined, it is not expected that either the home or the foreign
trade for woollens will be very brisk,

Flynn Ens PIKLD.—We had a rather slack market for goods on
Tuesday, and not much has been done in the warehousas. The
manufacturers, however, are pretty fully employed, and stocks
of fancy goods are not large. Here, as is the case throughout
the whole of the manufacturing districts, increased trade is
looked for on the settlement of the new tariff question.

BRADFORD.—There is no increased activity on the part of the
spinners to purchase C, mbing Wools, and the quantity chang.
ing hands is somewhat less than the beginning of the year; and
until there is a giving way in price, which at present, is strongly
resisted. we do not expect mote to be done Yarns.—The posi-
tion of the spinners is still very discouraging, the price of Wool
continuing very firm ; and Yams not advancing there is more
inquiry, and no increase in stock. Piece.—The business done
on Thursday was tolerably extensive; and as the prospect for
business with the Americans is favourable, we may hope, at no
distant period, to see still further activity. The suspension -of
the Leeds ; nd West Riding Bank appears to have thrown a little
gloom among the manufacturers, and some appear to have suf-
fer: d con-iderable inconvenience and temporal abandonment.

HALIFAX.—We had but a middling market In our Piece Hall
on Saturday, and no great quantity of gocds changed hands.
Prices continue steady.

ITECKIIONDWIKE BLANKET MARKET. - The attendance of
merchants on Monday was moderate, but not much business
transacted. Thursday the attendance was very meagre. Prices
remain as firm as last week.
