STATE OF TRADE

MANCHESTER.—The tone of our market has been less ani-
mated than it was during the two previous weeks, and opera-
tions have been conducted on a much more limited scale.
Merchants, having executed their orders pretty freely to the
end of last week, do not seem disposed to purchase on specula-
tion, while producers, being generally engaged, or, at all events,
free from stock, are not very anxious to sell. The transactions
of the week have been at full prices, but scarcely in any in-
stance at an advance. Spinners are tempted to raise their
prices, from the recent large cotton sales and the decrease of
stocks in Liverpool ; but from the desire manifested by holders
to sell, and the little advance in price which has taken place,
buyers are led to the impression that there will be very little,
even temporary, rise in the value of the raw material. Yarns
for India are scarce, from 40's to 60's; and these numbers still
command full prices. There have been a good many inquiries
during the week for that market, but the amount of business
done has been moderate. For the Italian and the Levant mar-
kets—particularly for the latter—there has been less bbsiness
doing this week than there was ten days ago. The German
merchants still buy with caution, and are less anxious to ope-
rate than they were at the beginning of the month. The home
manufacturers are not buying much in advance, and therefore
cops, and other yarns suitable for the home trade, are not so
much in demand as yarns intended for export, nor have they
made the same advance in price. In cloth a fair amount of
business continues to be transacted at firm prices. Manufac-
turers are well engaged for the next two or three weeks, and
are not pressing sales. 7-8 printers, 66 reed, good 36-inch
shirtings, as also most kinds of domostics, maintain theirvalue
very steadily.
MANCHESTER IRON MARKET.—During the past week our
market has presented the same quiet features, both as to busi-
ness and price, that have characterised it for some time past.
The amount of business is small, and the rates can hardly be
quoted lower. The death of Mr. J. Wilson, of Dundyvan, has
given rise to surmises as to whether his successors may be dis-
posed to continue the working of the numerous furnaces he
was interested in, and so curtail the make. Quotations of
good merchantable brands at Runcorn or Fleetwood, 445. 3d.
to 445. 6d. , and free on board at Glasgow, 398. each.
ROCHDALE.—As Christmas draws near, the demand for flan-
nels becomes more limited. There is appearance at present of
their being no change for the better on this side the new market.
In good times there is generally a slackness at the close of the
year. The wool market continues much the same as it was the
preceding week.
BRADFORD.—The general aspect of the staple trade here is
much the same as last week. We cannot notice any improve-
ment in the demand for either wool or yarns;
.but the opinion
that yarns and goods have seen their lowest is daily gaining
confidence, and if the present diminished production continue
to the end of the year, there is no doubt the coming one will
open with far less stock than many of its predecessors. The
shipping houses are not busy, although the accounts of the fair
at Frankforte-on-the-Oder have been better for Bradford goods
than any other article shown, but there is want of confidence
in ordering, lest any uneasiness should occur in France which
might disturb the peace of the Continent.
LEICESTER.—We have no improvement to notice in the state
of our trade. We understand that many hands will be out of
employ after this week, especially the straight-down hands, the
demand for such goods being very slack. Several of the ;in-
ners are working short time, and it appears that every one is
holding as little stock as possible.—Leic-ester. Advertiser.

LIVERPOOL, Nov. 14.—Since Monday last the arrivals into
this port from Ireland are very inconsiderable, and those
coastwise perfectly insignificant, as are also the imports front
abroad, composed merely of 996 brls. of American Flour and
2510 qrs. of Egyptian Wheat; from the United States, how-
ever, fair supplies of Wheat and Flour, partly on the way, are
anticipated. Meanwhile the granary stocks of both with us
are decreasing weekly, by local and country consumption, and
for export, that of the latter article, during the last three days,
exceeding 8000 brls. Although the trade in London seems to
be still devoid of any lively symptoms, the provincial markets
of this country and Ireland, held thus far during the week, are
stated in general to evince rather more stability, and in most
cases Wheat, as well as Spring Corn, is quoted a little higher
in value. The transactions intervening' here from the close of
business on Tuesday to this date, were principally in Ameriean
Wheat and Flour, both of which were taken to a fair extent,
the former on the tams previously noted, and the latter at
slightly improving rates ; all other articles of the trade re-
maining stationary. At our Corn Exchange this morning, fine
white Foreign Wheat was in maderate, though not in lively
request, at prices rather over our last quotations.:bnt of other
Foreign descriptions sales were limited, and our last currency
merely sustained ; whilst good English Wheat was taken freely
by our local millers, and commanded the full rates of Tuesday.
States and Canadian Flour continuing to meet a ready sale, the
general qualities of both sweet and sour were 3d. dearer again
to-day, and there are some very choice brands, not offered,
w.sich would freely command 6d. per brl. over the full rates
annexed. Prime marks of French Flour meet inquiry, but
inferior kinds alone remaining unsold, such move sparingly at

MANCHESTER, Nov. 15.—Great firmness in prices, with
steady consumptive demand, sufficient to take off all current
arrivals of each article if of suitable quality, still marks the
trade in Grain and Flour. At our market to-day there is a
steady demand for the best qualities of Wheat and Flour, at
fully last week's rates. Secondary and old samples are neg-
lected, but are not so much pressed for sale as of late. Oats
and Oatmeal steady. Beans rather dearer; and other articles
without variation.

WAKEFIELD, Nov. 14.—The arrival of Wheat is again
small, but there is a good show of samples, and a steady de-
mand at the prices of last week. The high price of Barley
brings a larger supply, and the finest qualities are taken at late
prices. and common sorts Is. cheaper. Oats and Shelling fully
maintain theirprevious value. Beans and other articles asbefore.
WISBECH, Nov. 15.—There is a fair quantity of Wheat
here to-day, and prices fully supported ; in some cases 6d. per
qr. more money is given. Beans and Oats, no alteration in
their value.

NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE, Nov. 15.—The supply of Wheat
from the farmers at to-day's market was quite as good as last
week, and for which there was a free sale; fine dry samples
commanding, in some instances, Is. per qr. more money. In
the early part of the week a change of wind enabled a few ves-
sels from the South, which were near at hand, to effect their
passage. Owing to the limited supply, factors on Tuesday
were enabled to effect a clearance at is. per qr. advance; but
the wind has since shifted into the North again, and no further
supplies have taken place, so that the above improvement was
maintained to-day. 'Foreign ruled very firm, but no further
advance can be quoted. Malting and Grinding Barley scarce,
and fully as dear as last reported. Old Oats continue in fair
request, and late prices are supported ; but new, in middling
condition, are very difficult to sell, although offered on rather
lower terms. In the value of Beans and Peas no change.
Flour unaltered.

DUBLIN, Nov. 14.—We continue to have but a moderate
supply of home grain, with a good demand for Wheat and Oats
at the prices of Tuesday, and for Barley and Bere at an advance
of 3d. to 6d. per barrel. In foreign Grain and Indian Corn but
little doing, and prices without alteration.
CORK, Nov. 15.—We this week experienced a better de-
mand for both fine and coarse Flours, but no improvement in
prices. Foreign Wheats are unaltered in value. Indian Corn
has a limited sale, Native Wheats improved 6d. per brl. Bar-
ley and Oats are as last noted.

LIVERPOOL, Nov.l7.—We had a considerable less number
of Beasts at market to-day compared with last week's supply.
The demand was tolerably good, and the best qualities of Beef
sold 4d. per lb. higher. The supply of Sheep was less than
last week, but we do not alter our quotations.

lity, 43d. Cows, 30. to 4d. Bulls nominal.
WAKEFIELD, Nov. 12.—We had a very large show of fat
stock. There was upwards of 1000 Beasts, including 100 foreign
and 4200 Sheep. There was also a very excellent show of lean
stock. Buyers were very numerous, and upon the whole a very
good business done. Beef sold from ss. to ss. 3d. per stone ;
Mutton from bd. to 53d. per lb. There was a good show of
Pigs, and at the close of the market all stock disposed of.
DUBLIN, Nov. 13.—The market to-day was not so large as
last week, yet fully an average one for the season. Prices of
good Beef and Mutton were in some instances a shade higher,
but the great bulk of the cattle were inferior, :without any
change in value. Beef, sinking offal, 345. to 40s. ; prime, 41s.
to 425. per cwt. ; Mutton, sd. to Sid. ; Veal, 60. per lb. The
Pig market a large one,with very active buying for the southern
markets at 365. per cwt. for heavy, and 345. upwards for light.
