STATE OF TRADE

MANCHESTER.—The new year opened well for business, and
a steady, natural trade is still doing, the demand being quite
equal to the production ; and the consequence is a paucity of
stock. Yarns coati. ue brisk, at advanced rates. No change
in the price of goods since our last, for many of the large
manufacturers are working to order, and will be for weeks to
come. The cotton market continues steady; but the new and
foolish project of the importers of cotton not allowing buyers
to compare samples as usual has excited a feeling of disgust
amongst the spinners and manufacturers everywhere that will,
we fear, oper to against any regular business being done for
some time. Prices are as follow : 27-inch 66's, Ss 4;id to Is 9d ;
and 72's, 6s to Gs W.—Manchester Advertiser, of Saturday.

LEEDS.—The woollen trade continues active, especially in the
finer and medium qualities of cloths. A good deal of business
has been done in the warehouses with the London buyers dur-
ing the week.

BRADFORD MARKET.—With a good attendance of merchants
here on Thursday. we had a considerable demand for Lastings
and other heavy Stills made wholly of Wool ; but in the lighter
fabrics sales could not be made at prices commensurate with the
present cost of the raw material. Yarns sold more freely than
of late; it was believed for shipment. For Wool there was a
steady demand, and as the supply was not in excess, late rates
were fully sustained, and altogether the prospects for the spring
trade are considered to be very good.

HUDDERSFIELD MARKET.—The market here on Tuesday was
very brisk. the attendance of buyers being large. Nearly all the
new goods at market were readily disposed of, at firm, if not im-
proving prices. The wool market was steady, prices having ra.
they a tendency upwards. A good business was done in yarns.

HALIFAX MARKKT.—The demand for both lastings and far cy
stuffs w s very brisk here on Saturday, and there was a visible
improvemc nt in the Yarn and Wool markets, the prices of the
raw material being quoted somewhat higher.

ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET.—There has been but a very
indifferent market. Few buyers have attended, and the busi-
ness transacted has been upon a limited scale. Manufacturers
are asking more for pieces, on account of the ncreased price of
the raw material.

HECKMONDWIKE BLANKET HAlL.—There has been a few or-
ders put out for shipping this week, and Manufacturers are ask-
ing a trifling advance, they complain that they cannot buy Wool
at the same price now that they could a short time ago.
HOSIERY AND LACE Titania.—The state of the hosiery ma-
nufacture is not considered to be improved, though the pro-
duction in the inferior or slop branches is immense, one wide
frame making more tha•i six times the quantity of a narrow
frame. The drawer and pataloon branch is, in some instances,
a shade amended, but this is by no means general. The cotton
glove trade is still dist!. The cut system in this important branch
is extending, and seems likely to extend, as the making of slop
goods is more profitable to the masters, the manufacturers, and
the merchants than making good sound goods. The silk
hosiery trade can scarcely be said to be any worse, though it is
in a very lingering state. It appears from some correspondence
which has taken place between the Leicester stocki• gers and the
ministers that the subject of the present condition of the
hosiery trade has been discussed by them : but Mr, Maggeridge
not having made his report, they have come to no conclusion.
The bobbin net trade is still dull; but, upon the whole it is
rather reviving, and will improve. The warp lace trade is
flourishing, proceeding in a quiet, unostentatious manner,
without that ruinous speculation which has so characterised the
bobbin net. The tattings are in good demand, as are most
articles made from this surprising machine.—Nottingharn Jour.
