STATE OF TRADE.

M ',NCH E,TE It —During the. whole of this week a very large
1)w-hicks has bzq n d.:rie in printing cloth, as, also, in domestics,
mod for both kinds at advanced rates. The yarn market is also
very buoyant. The workpeople, we are toll, are in a very
etched stste, and appear determined to have an advance in the
rate of wag s. We think that their clams demand a cai.eful
consideration from their employers; • for scarcely on any previ-
ous occasion %Vere spinners and manufacturers in a better posi.
ton to ?traut the reasonable I equest of their hands. In souse
cases this teas been done, and to the honour of those firms t
should be said, they have at once acceded. Merchants and
printers appea now to see no probal itity of the price of cloth
rec ding, and are. tiler, fore, contracting a month earlier than
usual for de ivery for the s ring. I,\ e arc disposed to think
that they are right in their policy. inasmuch as stocks have
rarely bees known to be lighter everywhere,
and we live every
prospect before us in favour of a splendid spring trade. The
tors are also busy. The country houses are doing it very
good Mismess. ',7-inch printing- cloth is full d to,:id per piece

LEEDS.. —We have very little alteration to note in the tran-
sactions at our Cloth Halls during the past week. Toe attend-
ance has been thin, as we have previoutly reported, yet there is
no material accumulation 0: goods, though most of the manu-
facturers continue busy. There is. no doubt. a good deal of
business doing to order. though the aggregate may not be equal
to what was done a month or six weeks ago. At this season.
however, a cessation is not t y any me..ns unusual.
HUDDERSFIELD MARKET. The transactions in fancy goods
at this market, on Tuesday last, were considered rather limited,
but the market, nevertheless. was rather buoyant. Prices
underwent no change, and, as most of the manufacturers have
been and are still w,:r,ing to order, there .s no accumulation of
stocks. For plain elcths and the heavier kinds of winter
goods,
a goo demand is all!.C.pated.

HECKAIONDIVIKK BLANKET MARKET —There was a very
he tvy market to-day, although manufacturers were willing
to a reduction in 'price. There was more business done o
Thursday than on Monday, no douht in consequence of the few
cold days we have had this week. There was a little done for
shipping.

BRADFORD MA RR RT.—There was rather more activity in the
demand for piece goods at this market on Thursday than we
have had to report of late ; but late prices were net sustained,
and the manufacturers complained of their inability to realise
remunerating prices. The demand for yarns was far from ac
tive, but as sevcral spinners have begun to work short time,
then is no accumulation of stock. Tire wool market presented
no new feature; it was far from animated, the spinners only
buying to supply their immediate wants.

ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET.—There IS not the least im.
provemea in the flannet mark, t, which has been extremely dull
and inactive. The wool market has been equally fiat, and the
saes extremely limited

HALIFAX NIA sKer.—There was af. it attendanceof merchants
in the Piece Hall on aturday, and an average amount of busi-
ne,s was done. In y.,rns the tiansactions were rather more
extensive at late rates; and for not sand broke wools there was
a better demand. b:it in combing wools the dealings were few.
LEicitsTrd.— In wools and yarns there is but Fttle doing, with
a 'endency to recede slight:), in price. For goodS the demand
is principally confined to lower sorts. Employment, however,
is plentitn!, and with the approach of cold weather, we hope the
state of of .irs will improve.—Leicester Chronicle.

ustunv AND LACE TRADES.—The cut- up cotton hose bran( h
23eMS once rri,le in a state of feve ish agitation, us several at-
tempts, both dircct and indirect, are making to reduce the wages
'ln- this slop trade. 'I he full-fashioned cotton hose branch is
still depre sod. This depression inerca,-es, in-
stead of diminishing. The drawer t. ranch los not in the least
improved. The silk glove trade is very bad, indeed, in some
qua tors aud the hancs arc giving way to despair. The bobbin-
he) trade. upon the who e, m,,y t.esolo t I,e in a fair condi' P.n,
though far from brisk. '1 he eirculor ch,re-, which have for
several ) ears been in the back ground as to the producing of
fancy nets, are now coming ii,to play, and many descriptions of
fancy laces may be seen from steam-propel:ed circular bolt ma-
chines, which heretofore have leer pretty generally eohfined
the making of plain quillings and plain nets. The warp lace
trade, we are sorry to say. has not muc, mended. The demand
for lap an:l press articles hiving in some me sure fallen off. has
been heavily felt. At present the cotton branches are in the
best conditio•. ; but these are principally coufined to Stapleford
and the vicinity. Nottingham Journal.
