STATE OF TRADE.

ItaweraltsTF.2.—The market, during the past week, has been
animated. Au id the prices of most descriptions of our staple fabrics
have an upward tendency. Many parties, doubtless in anticipation
of an advance of wages and a correspondent rise in goods, or that of
" some contingency",--a general turn-out, have entered the market
rather:wore promptly than, but for these reasons, they might have
done. In Ashton-under-Lyue and neighbourhood an advance has
been made in the wages of a certain portion of the operatives, which
advance must become more general, or it is apprehended the work •
people will refuse to continue at their labour. In Preston the clues
tion of advanced wages is being agitged ; but we have not learnt
what connate the millowuers have decided to adopt. The general
impression is, in the present healthy state of trade, (the result of
abundant capitd and bounteous harvests,) and with the raw staple
of our mannfacturers settled down at exceedingly low rates, our
manufacturers can afford to meet the claims of the workpeople and
" grow rich" beside. A much better feeling generally prevails
between the employers and their bands; and we hope to have the
pleasure of reporting that the operatives in our mills have shared
in the general improvement which Las obtained here. Printers
are still very busily occupied, and prices are well sustained. The
yarti market is Gm, with an upward tendency. Printing cloths are
in good demand, and 30 and 40.ineh shirting in large request.
During the week buyers for India, the Mediterranean, and Gelman
markets have been .operating freely. Good 27. inch 06 and 72 reed
printing-cloths may be quoted at as 4.1 d to as 74d and as Mid to
Os lid respectively. 36-inch shirtings, 66 reed Rs lid to Os 4id, and
72 reed us 6d to Os tld ; 40-inch GO reed G. E. longeloths Silbs,tls
to Os Pd, and 72's, Ms, 10s 114 to lOs (t.—Mar/Mester Advertiser.

HUDDERSFIELD MARKIM—There was a tolerably brisk mar-
ket on Tnesday for fancy wool ens. In the warehouses, also,
a gi,od amount of business bas been done since our last, and
the tra:.e of the district continues brisk.

BRADFORD MARRRT.—The tone of our piece market on
Thursday was rather flat, here being few buyers at hand, an I
the business done at the warehouses having been on a some-
what limited scale during the week. The wool and yarn trades
are al. o rather flat, the demand for neither article being equal
to the stocks on hand. Several of the spinners and the manu.
facturers are adopting what we mentioned last week— namely,
les9ening the number of hours of keeping their factories at
work, and thereby preventing an accumulation of stank.

HALIFAX MARKET.—WC had o❑ Saturday a fair average sale
for piece goods, and weld's are a shade lower. The mills are
pretty fu ly employed, and the stocks of manufactured goods on
hand are not heavy, though they are more so than they were a
few weeks back.

• tiECKLIONDWIKK BLANKET MA raseT.—The atendance of
buyers thin week has been limited, and the markets have been
very heavy; goods are more plehtiful, at a shade less in price.

RocriDALs FLANNEL MA RE ET.—The flannel market ha,
been again dull, and the cal -s limited. There is but itt:e ate
ration in the wool market; inannfacturers do not appear eager
to purchase, probab:y expecting. before long, a fall in Juice.

Many of the workmen are suffering much from scarcity of em-
ployment. The plain silk glove trade is a shade further im-
proved, and some few of the lain silk shops have beun to feel
a momentary stir: on the other hand, the silk-knotted branch
was never worse. The warp.lsce trade cannot be said to be
much amended; it is still depressed, but hopes are entertained
of a revival. The bobbin-net trade is, if anything, a little :ni-
proved.—Nottingham Journal.

CALICO PRINTING —This trade continues in a state of un-
wonted briskness at this period of the year, and our various
factories as yet evb:ce no symptoms of the relaxation thnt used
to occur about the same time. A most gratifying circumstance
is. that all the goods ar, being manufactured for the home
market. in which the declaimers, from the superiority of the
fabric and the judicion- display of colours, are quite in vogue,
► upers, ding the more expensive articles of dress. The trade has
thus got round to a healthy stare, and affords a remunerating
profit and a ready market to the motninactuter. For some time
past, about yoo printers have been employed hi the various fac-
tories in town, the monthly w ges for whom, &c., will amount
t o a large sum.—Kilmarnock Journal.
