STATE OF TRAM

MANCHESTER.—The commercial advicPs from India being
of an unfavourable character, have contributed to render our
market still duller than it was at the date of our last report.
The amount of business done this week has been comparatively
inconsiderable, most buyers holding either entirely aloof, or

executing small orders only for immediate wants. 'Prices, in
many cases, are not so well maintained as they were at the
beginning of the week ; and large producers, who are getting
out of orders, show an increased disposition to renew contracts.
Buyers, however, are acting with so much caution, that scarcely
any inducement will tempt them to large transactions at pre-
sent. This drooping and unsatisfactory state' - our - <it will

exercise an unfav+ arable influence on the approaching Leipsic
fair, and the German houses are consequently operating with
more than ordinary circumspection. The trolley pursued by
bus-era during the last few weeks, would, under an ordinary
extent of engagements on the part of producers, have led to a
much more serious decline in prices than has actually taken
place, and we must therefore attribute the comparative steadi-
ness of the market, under present circumstances, to the unusual
number and extent of contracts which were P”'

the summer months ; many of which nre still running,

Watertwist numbers are still in lair demand, but prices are less
firm than they were. The cloth market is very fiat, and in
some Articles the.e is a further giving way in price. 36 inch
shirting's and domestics, however, are without any change in
value since our last report, stocks being light, and the demand
fair. MI descriptions of India goods are heavy and difficult of
sale, even at a reduction.

ROCHDALE,—We have had little change to report in the
flannel market either in price or demand. This is the time of
the year when the manufacturers are generally busiest; but
all is very quiet, and the country orders are very limited. The
wool market has been flat, and prices about stationary.
LEEDS.—Dulness has been the characteristic feature of the
woollen trade this week, few purchasers having visited our
markets and but limited orders having been received. But the
manufacturers are mo.leratcly well employed, and as yet there
are no great stocl.s on hand.

MACCLESFIELD.—The demand for goods remains without
alteration. Prices are steady, and production is ;coin:: on

sattstactordy, considering the advanced period of the season.
In the meantime, preparations for the spring are beginning to
occupy the attention of our manufacturers. The thrown silk
market remains about as reported for the :ast, month. In re

THE IRISH LINEN TRADE. Several samples of yarn of this
year's flax have already been brought to market, and on all
hands the quantity is said to be much superior than that ex
hibited at the same season last year. The latest continental
advices do not present any new feature as respects the trade.
Flax is now coming freely to the local and provincial markets,
and brings excellent prices.—Banne, of Ulster.
