STATE OF TRADE

MANCIIESTER.—Our market curng the week has been tt an-
quit, all hough uo c :atge in prices c n he noted, for stocks are
too IllAt in the mantnact,,rers• hands to admit of a dow,mari
tendency. The spinners still coliti•,ue to work to order at very
exti erne rates. The cotton market at Live' pool is very depres,t d,
and the business done during the vrrek hail ed. 27,11d1 t6'l3
may he quoted 5s to 5s 6d ; and 82's, 6s t) 6s aid.

LANCASIIIRE.—The demand for C,tton Yarns at Briton re-
mains buoyant at former prices. There is a goo' dema d for
mot descriptions of manufactured goods. Bhai hers are very
busy Mechanics, millwrights, brass and iron founders, are
fully employed at excellent wages. Machine pri-•ters are very
brisk, while calico blockiprint A's have very little to do. Stone
masons and brick setters have obtained an advance of wages.
The cotton hand-loom weavers at Blackburn are in very poor
circumstances ' • they are only partially employed at very low
wages indeed. The factory operatives have full work, and wages
remain firm. The calic block and machine printers at Accring-
ton, Church Parish Oswald wistle and vicinities have a moderate
share of employment; but the cotton hand loom weavers are
much in the same state as they are at Blackburn. The hatting
ting trade at Oldham, Ashton, Denton, Stockport and vicinities
is very sleek. and many of the operatives have not more than
three or four days work per week. The other .rades in the same
districts are in a healthy state. The woollen cloth market at
Saddlesworth remains moderately brisk. The silk small ware
trade at Manchester and the neighbourhood is better than it was
a month ago, but many sorts of broa.l silk and mixed goods are
rather slack, while fancy work is very brisk.
ROCHDALE FLANNEL MA RAF:T.—This market CM Mon 'ay was
much like that of last week. In the wool market prices remained
the same, and manufacturers bought principally for immediate
use. .

LEsns.—The public markets in the Cloth Halls since our last
have been somewhat fl owing, no doubt, to the very wet
weather which prevailed. Beayers, pilo s, and cluakings. of
good quality. are the principal marketable commodities, the
prices of which remain firm. Business in the warehou es has
been to an average amount.
BRADFORD.—An average and satisfactory amount of business
was done in our Piece Market, on Thursday. at firm prices.
From th • Leipsic fair we have tolerably cheering accounts of the
sale of goods manufactured in this town and neighbourtood,
though the prices were such as not to allow of large profits to
the manufacturers. No feature ~f change woithy of note in the
state of the wool and yarn departments.
HUDUBRSFIRLD.—The manufacturers of th'S town and neigh-
bourlio- d continue well employed, and the goods meet w,th
ready sale. Prices are very steady.
HALIFAX —No change has taken place in our mar' et during
the'pre,ent week. We have had an average attendance of buyers.
Piece goo,-ls and yarns may be quoted at last week's prices.
roils and broke, are easier to buy at a decline of Cs to Its per
pack for the b wer qualities.
-WAKEsits:i.n WOOL MansET.—There is a pretty steady trade
for wool. both long and short. In the former, fine sorts still
continue much wanted, and rather better terms can be obtained ;
whilst heavy woo continues dull and hardly supports its price.
Short wool is rather flatter, upon the whole.
