STATE OF TRADE.

MAivaiEsraits•—The favourable commercial news fititi China
the firmness of cotton at Liverpool, and the continued easiness
by the mo eY market have given an unexpected (at this season
of the year) impetus to trade since our last report, and 27-inch
printers have sold Seely at last week's rates, and, in some in.
stances, lid per piece advance may be quoted; indeed, many
Manufacturers refuse to sell un'ess they can obtain higher rates,
for they contend that so many makers haste turned from print-
ng cloth to goods suited for the east that in a few weeks they
Will be scarce. Domestics continue dull, although we expect
an improvement soon in this deVaiption of cloth, so many
Manufacturers having ceased to snake them. The yarn market
is more buoyant, and prices are steady. The printers are very
flat with machine work, but block printers are busy, and good
Prints and de-laines are in request, at paying prices. 27-inch
70's may be quoted 4s 70 to 4s 10d ; 6 bs to 5s 6d ; and 72's,
lid to 6s ; some manufacturer, refusing to take less than
"a Ad.—Manchester Adrerliser of Saturday.
LANCASHIRE.— Dining the last fortnight there has been a
lair demand for nsuslins at Blackburn : prices are much the
aanie. Fine fancy goods are in moderate rt quest. Low deecrip
ttoos of goods are not to call so brisk. but prices remain much
the same. Hold and power-loom weaving conti ties unusu y
brisk, and ha: ds fully emp oyed : the same may be said of fac-
tory hands Irene ally. Joiners, bricklayers masons, and all
sorts of .otit-door labourers are fully employed,
LIIIIDE.—The markets since our last have been rather brisk
thou otherwise, especially for goods adapted for home con-
snmPtiOn. There has been more business done of late in fine
cloths Tor sua.mer wear than for some time previously; and
thetee is now an active demand for white cloths suitable to the
=alloy trade.

:Market was much the same as Oast week, no material change
`being noticed. For the better kind of Combing Wools there was
i?ut a slack demand ; and though Noils and Brokes sold more
freely, it was only at a slight reduction in price.

en Saturday was fully as good as far some weeks past, and
Prices undetwent a litt'e change. The Wool market was dull,

the spring trade, and has again rallied, so that there is every
