STATE OF TRADE

MANCHESTER.—This has been a week of extensive operations
in yarns and goods, more especially the latter. Much of this
business has been done with comparative ease, at prices which
were only partially, and with difficulty obtained last week ; and
these have, therefore, now become decided and general rates

but, besides this, a positive advance of 13d. to 3d. per piece
upon the actual prices of a week ago, is npw realised on long
cloths, T cloths, light 7-8 printers, and
.40ri.nch 54 to 64 reed

shirtings. Heavy 40-inch 66 and 72 Teen slurtings, anapted to
the China trade, continue exceedingly depressed ; while certain
good fabrics of that width, suitable for printing, are in request.
In yarns, the tendency is upward, and, for some kinds, an in-
crease of id. per lb. is paid by shippers. The improvement is
still more marked in spinnings for home manufacture. Natu-
rally enough, the sellers have continued to rise a little on the
hands of the buyers, as the week has advanced; and, quite as

naturally, this is beginning' to be slightly felt as'a hindrance to
the course of business. Spinners and manufacturers are, how-
ever, so largely under contract, as not to he disposed to take
further orders without an inducement in the terms. Up to the
present time, the buying has, for the most part, been for ex-
portation; the home-trade houses having, as yet, laid in but

little stock of

in any branch of the combing wools, which are moved off only
in qu.ntities for present use. The supply coming to market is

dency to keep prices steady. At the London sales colonial
wools go off briskly at higher prices, but this market cannot
maintain them., Noils and brokrs are without any change

since our last. r erns: a were continues to ne an improvement
in the demand for combed yarns of middle numbers. The de-
mand for export is much improved, and if things get settled on
the Continent a large business is expected. Pieces : There is
nothing new to report. The trade is generally fully employed,
and the goods cleared off as produced. Moreens are still ea-
gerly sought after, and the makers will be engaged for some
time to come.

and prices remain extremely low. Lite spinners still continue
fully employed for the continental markets, but there are not
many fresh orders now giving out, and there is no improvement
in prices. Wool has been selling more freely during the week,
the upward tendency of some sorts has been fully sustained.

HUDDERSFIELD.—TIierebas been very little bugin—e-s-s—donf.,
and a quiet market here this week, although not unusually so
for this season of the year. Prices are low, and stocks gene-
rally small.

YROCHDALE
FLANNEL MARKET.—The market this week has
been moderately brisk. The demand for middle qualities of

rather better prices have been obtained. All other sorts of
goods have sold well at former prices. The wool market has
been brisk, and price, same ;.s our last.
