STATE OF TRADE.

Maxon Estata.—During the whole of this week a very large
business has been done in printing cloth, as, also, in domestics,
and for both kinds at advanced rates. The yarn market is also
very buoyant. The work people, we are tol,l, are in a very
excited stite, and appear determined to have an advance in the
rate or wag s. We think that their cia ms demand a careful
consideration from their employers; for scarcely on any previ-
ous occasion were spinners and manufacturers in a better posi.
• ton to grant the reasonable request of their hands. In some
cases this has 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 probaiiiity of the price of cloth
ree ding. and are. ther,fure, contracting a month earlier than
Usual for de ivery for the s, ring. We are disposed to think
that they are right in their policy, inasmuch as stocks have
rarely been known to be lighter everywhere, anti we have every
prospect before as in favour of a splendid spring trade. The
pri tern are also busy. The country houses are doing a very
giod business. 271 nch printing cloth is full id to :id per piece
h.gher, and may be quoted as follows:-27 inch Ws, 4s raid to
fs 1 d ; 6G's, 5s 3cl to 5s 7id ; and 72's, 6s to 6s W.—Manchester
Advertiser.

Lamps.. —We have very little alteration to note in the tran-
sactions at' ur Cloth flails during the past week. The attend-
ance has been thin, as we have previously reported, yet there is
no material.accumulation o'ltoods, though Most of the mann-
faeturers continue busy. There ;s. 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 by any me tits unusual.
HUDDERSFIELD MA sawn 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 working to order, there :s no accumulation of
stocks. For plain cloths and the heavier kinds of winter goods,
a goo demand is an.:c gated.

HECKMONDWIKE BLANKET MARKET —There was a very
heavy market to-day, although manufacturers were willing
to a reduction in price. There was more business done o
Thursday than on Monday. no doubt in consequence of the few
cold days we have had this week. There was a little done for
shipping.
Bit Atom ti MA n KEr.—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 not sustained,
and the manufacturers complained of their inability to realise
remunerating prices. The demand for yarns was far from ac
tive, but as several spinners have begun to work short time,
there is no accumulation of stock. The wool market presented
no new feature ; it was far from animated, the spinners only
buying to supply their immediate wants.

ROCHDALE FLANNEL MA REET.-There is not the least im-
provement in the flannet market, which has been extremely dull
and inactive. The wool market has been equally flat, and the
sales extremely limited

HALIFAX MAriairr.—There was a f.,ir attendanceof merchants
in the Piece Ilan on :aturday, and au average amount of busi-
ness was done. In yarns the transactions were rather more
extensive at late rates; and for not s and broke wools there was
a better demand, bit in combing wools the dealings were few.

LEICESTER.— In wools and yarns there is hut little doing, with
a 'endency to recede slightly 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 aft irs will improve.—Leicester Chronicle.

H osi Hay AND LACH TRADHS.—The cut- tip cotton hose branch
soems once more in a state of sere ish agitation, as several at-
tempts, Loth direct and indirect, are making to reduce the wages
In this slop trade. The full-fashioned cotton hose branch is
still most lamentably depre sect. This depression increases, in-
stead of diminishing. The drawer tranch has not in the least
improved. The silk glove trade is very bad, indeed, in some
quarters and the harms are giving way to despair. The bobbin-
net trade, upon the who e, tn,y be saint, be in a fair condition,
though far from brisk. 'I he circular machine=, which have for
several years been in the back ground as to the producing of
fancy nets, are now coming into play. and many descriptions of
fancy laces may be seen from steam-propelled circular bolt ma-
chines, which heretofore have been pretty generally confined t
the n,.king of plain quinines and plain nets. The warp lace
tiade, we are sorry to say. has not muc mended. The demand
for lap an.l press articles having in some me sure fallen off, has
been heavily felt. At present the cotton branches are in th
best conditio ; but these are principally confined to Stapletond
and the vicinity.—Notlinghana Journal.
