STATE OF TRADE.

MANtenEsTna.—From some cause or other the market has
received an impetus, and a large amount of business has been
done, and is doing, at prices that buyers refused to give last
Week. Several manufacturers are refusing to sell printing cloth
Unless they can obtain an advance of lad. to 3d. per piece, which
Purchasers have generally refused to give, but where they will
takei the extreme prices current last week sales are easily effected.
The country trade houses are generally very busy, and were it
not
for the frequent fluctuations in prices, would be buying
for stocks in Warehouses here were seldom known to be
lighter. The shippers during the whole of last month held off
buying. although it is known that they have extensive orders to
execute. For the last three or four days, however, they have
nPerated freely, and if goods only remain firm we may expect
that a fair amount of business will be done during the present
Itonth,
o, In spite of the cotton gamblers (and we have them to
anx for the depression in this market during the last month)
i;,.cetnulnercial prospects.are brighter than we have had before
tot.'nr some time. Speculation in cotton, we hope and believe,
ate t't SeRSOD, is at an end, for many of the speculating holders
of econiing alarmed, and are noW anxious to realize, fearful
th the decline consequent upon the arrival of a n. w crop ; it i 4
d.erefore to be expected that shall find only the legitimate
tnand for the regular purposes of trade. Should this be the
j3r!, shalt ost of the spinners ere bare of stock, there is a ossi-
"ltY it may not recede in price so soon and to so great an
"tent as many expect. The printers have been very flat for the
last month, but this week they have been doing more as in-
quiriesbe are 110 W being made for light work. 27-inch 66's may
Puoted Is. to 5-8. gd. ; and 72's, Ls. gd. to 6s 3d., some manu-
facturers for very- prime cloth still asking 6s. 6d.
LEEDS.—Tare dullness which we noticed two or three weeks
ago still ove,hangs our markets. Although our manufacturers
and dressers are generally pretty busy, there is not the same
activity that prevailed a short time since in the demand for low
goods, but there is an improvement in the sales for fine cloths,
HEDDERSFI LD MARKET —There is still a good demand for
fancy 'fabrics, as well as the lighter and finer kinds of plain goods
and kerseys ; and as the stocks on hand Were limited, late prices
Were fully maintain.A. There is a good assertment of wool in
the Market, which fetched recent rates.
HALIFAX MARKET.—There was an universal paucity in the
,141,ntte dance of buyers at this market on Saturday, and a propor-
tionately_o small amount of /mine s was transacted in piece
goods. The sales of yarns were also fewer in number and quan-
",y and wool met slack sale 'at a trifling decline in price.
BRADFORD MARKET:—The lull which is usual before the com-
mencement of the • ummer trade with Germany seems to have
conneejuset irl, as there were comparatively few of the buyers

lathing hasban MARKET.—Being Easter week, little or
to effect done in any description of wool; and in order
Sales lower prices must be submitted to.
.14"okmortinwricz BLANKET. MARKET.—On Monday, being
zaster Monday, there was but a meagre attendance of buyers
or 2riantlfactirrers, consequently but little business done. On
Tittrsday there were some considerable orders put out for the
etport trade, but for the home trade there was but little demand.
ROCODALE FLANNEL MA RK ET.—To-clay has been one of the
idulleAt 'makers we have had of late ,; very few buyers having
'attended, and the business transacted having been upon a very
limited scale. The wool market bias been no better than the
'Piece market, and few sales have been effected.
LEICESTER.—There is no improvement to report this week in
'the demand for gdods; while the prices of material are a little
'easier, though no positive reduction has .yet been. generally
made. We hope that more orders may soon be received,,to en-
'ablethe manufacturers to continue moving in the improvement
`of wages.l—Leicester Chronicle.
HOSIERY AND LACE TaAnns.—We ,cannot report any con-
,tilderable alteration in the cotton hosiery trade, though the Spring
-nas not brought with it the expected increased demand. The
ilt.up cotton hose branch continuks tolerably brisk, and, as we
have before ohserved, seems likely to continue so, as we hear
of little or no speculation in building new wide' frames. The
e.otton glove branch keeps tolerably brisk : .the hands having
,formed a union, keep many of the houses considerably in check,
In none of them have yetventtiredto try their stretrgtlPlitith the
11,5,.tneYrnen in resisting a turn-out. The drawer and pantalcon
pitWetilcontinues in nearly the same situation as,for some tut
cluti;;7s hands being in general well employed. The heavy
Prote-on,Posed in the United States on ready-matle clothes, to
fiat, "e American tailors, is heavily felt in this branch, as
pan eWork drawers could,beeaslly converted into breeches, and
into trowsere.; were these duties withdrawn, or even
love ed, the drawer frames'-would be doubled. The silk glove
branch is worse than ever, though it is rattier better in Derby-
're than in the county of Nottingham.-- Nottingkam Journal

~/ILL-STREET MAltirET.—The pedlar's shops now in
course of erection in the yard attached to-this new market
are now nearly completed, and are neatly all already let.
The market has been found a great convenience to the in-
habitants of the district. It is exceedingly well supplied
generall
Y, and on- Saturday especially, with the choicest
meat, 'vegetables and all sorts of provisions, which are
offered at so moderate' a price that prrties even from a
distance have become frequent visitors. The shops,
stalls, and standings continual° be let to respectable te-
nants ; and the market is withal so remarkably clean, well
lighted and airy,' that it has become a favourite resort of
housekeepers and other purchasers. -it' will be seen by
an advertisement in another column,-:that some of the spa-
fos, dry, and will ventilated cellars below are to be let.
These are suitable for the cur'-ng and•preserving of meats,
Storage, &c...„ are -superior to any vaults in the town for
such Purposes, und the rents fixed are very low.
TEmpLEToN'S-MUSICAL ENTE-RVAINMENTS.—During
.91e past week this excellent performer of Scottish music
has been giving-a series of entertainments at the Theatre-
Royal, Church.street, to highly-respectable audiences,
though not to -such numerous ones as we could have
wished to see, or Mr.*Templeton's exquisite singing of
the music of his native land should have attracted. On
Wednesday evening the subject of the entertainment was
the music of Mary Queen of Scots, which was interwoven
with a most interesting sketch of the life of that most
unfortunate queen. The various:-songs introduced were
_given with,gl,_.‘at -taste, nod many of them visodivad with
enthusiastic mails of approval, and some encored. In
particular, we may notice the song. of " Row on, row on,"
which was most dramatically and effectively given, and
repeated. On Thursday a selected entertainment was
given, containing many favourites of the public, which
were beautifully-stn;. On Friday morning an entirely
original entertainment was introduced, at the AsFembly-
r,"4l, Great George-street, being a selection from the
Jays of the last Bret Scottish minstrel, Sir Walter Scott,
and repeated on Saturday evening•at the Theatre. The
a -
ree it,tes glad it rative remarks accompanying the songse
re tti " very interesting -character; and many of the
'lgo bully givenra , and it the
mark., eavel
apvi ere
brit; , lauxe M
of the eautifhearers. ;I particular,elic weed may
ce the song of " Donald Caird," which was sung'with
b;r„e„at, comic effect; " Lochinvar," which was given with
elicited a
f SPirit and effect ; the song of -the Squire Eustace,
from .
" Where shall the lover rest ? " which
armion,
hearty encore ; and "JTis merry, 'tis merry in
fairy land," an exquisite song. The gem of this enter-
pininent, however, was "The Last Words of Marmion,"
from the music of Dr. Clarke..which was given with an
expresscn, and feeling, which electrified the au-
tillenae- We cannot,hut express here our admiration of
e manner in which.the descriptive portion of Mr. Tem-
kletnifs entertainments has been arranged, and of the
dramatic effect which:-the singer gives to the varions com-
positions which he has selected for the amusement of his
audience. The former_ display considerable industry, re-
search,, and taste; and by the latter we are reminded that
Ljuate‘-er may be his talents as a musician and vocalist,
r. Templeton ranks 'high as an ,actor as well. We may
suggest, by the bye, that whilst two such operatic singers
this gentleman and Mr. H. Phillips are in town, it
ne..atre_Riyy
„'might be worth the while of the management of our
al to try the experiment of a series of our
'61.4-rate English operas, which, we are assured, would
gratefally received by the playgoing public.
