STATE OF TRADE,

MANCHESTER.—There is no alleviation of the dulness which
has obtained in this market for some weeks. The present week

be effected at reduced rates, which were accepted, the only ex
ceptions being India yarns and goods, which held a relatively
firmer position. Since that period these have also been more
neglected, and a greater degree of weakness and irregularity has
been apparent, which would have been still more marked had
not the Liverpool cotton market, during the last two days,
shewn rather more steadiness than hitherto. In yarns there
has been less doing this week than last. The demand for In-
dia, which sprung up at the close of the last week, was not con-
tinued to the full extent beyond Tuesday, and consequently
some weakness has been visible. Water yarns are still very
dull, and still lower prices have been accepted in some instances,
but without inducing orders to any extent. Manufacturers
continue to be very sparing in their purchases, although a fur—
ther reduction is offered as an inducement.
ROCHDALE.—The flannel market has undergone little change
from that of last week. The wool market has been slack, and
the manufacturers show little disposition to purchase. Prices
may be quoted in favour of the buyers.
HIIDDERSFIELD.—Our market continues as active as ever,
the demand for light goods particularly, being on the increase.
Prices are still looking up.

brisk as it was, though there is a good deal doing to order, and
the quotations have slightly receded. Yarns are also rather
easier to buy, as the export houses are yet out of the market,
but the spinners are fully employed. The wool market does
not show much animation; and the staplers are free sellers at
a slight decline in price.

BILADFORD.—WooIs: There is no disposition to buy combing
wools except for immediate use, and the quantity changing
hands during the week has been very limited ; nor is there any
inducement offered in price, to increase purchases. Yarns:
There is rather more inquiry for yarns than there was a few
weeks ago, and for spools the demand is as brisk as ever.
There is more inquiry for shipping numbers, and on the whole
t- le is

in this branch of the trade, which may be said to be more than
an average of previous seasons for plain goods. In fancies
there is not much doing, and the chief is in good styles of
mixed alpacas.
