STATE OF TRADE

MANCHESTER.—Our market has continued quiet since last
Tuesday, and the operations during that time have been
limited. Considerable desire is manifested among producers
to sell, but prices are not quoted any lower. Offers are still
made on India account at low prices, but no nearer to the
limits of the sellers. The recent purchases of yarns for India
cleared off many stocks which had begun to accumulate, and
there is therefore less of that class of yarn now offering. There
is little doing for the Levant and Germany, except in warps
for the latter market. Buyers for the home trade purchase
freely, though in no large quantities. The cloth market is still
dull. Some large sales have been effected for India, but at low
prices, and in other classes of goods there is little animation.
MANciiEsTEn IRON MARKET.—During the past week the
iron market has been destitute of interest, little variation
either in prices or amount of business having occurred.
Freights to Runcorn and Fleetwood continue scarce and com-
paratively high, and this has on the whole maintained previous
rates at the Lancashire ports. The absence of demand for the
last two or three weeks has pretty well tested prices, and,
should the wants of consumers increase, an advance in prices
is extremely probable. Quotations for cash, at Runcorn, 445.
6d. to 455. ; at Glasgow, free on board, 395. to 395. 6d.
BRADFORD.—On all sides we hear of the dulness of trade
here, the demand for goods having fallen off very much. The
prices, too, realisable are very low. Many of the manufacturers
are stoppingportions of their works so as to producefewergoods.
ROCHDALE.—The flannel market, instead of improving,
grows worse, and the merchants buy very sparingly. The de-
mand for wool continues very limited, but prices are very firm,
and are rather looking upward.
MACCLESFIELD.—Very little variation has taken place in the
state of the manufactured goods trade, the demand for both
home and foreign descriptions retaining a quietness which has
of late become characteristic. Stocks are light, and production
is going on so leisurely as to leave no anxiety on this head,
even if the present state of things continue.
NOTTINGHAM.—There appears to be a gloom overhanging
the staple productions of this town and neighbourhood, for
which, to the full extent now prevailing, it seems difficiut to
find a substantial reason. One great cause, of course, is the
deranged state of monetary affairs in America, of which we
have previously spoken. The continental demand, especially
the German, for low goods, has fallen off considerably lately.
It would appear that the depression felt here is not an isolated
case, as the manufacturing interests throughout the country
seem to be similarly depressed.
