STATE OF TRADE

MANZHESTER, Nov. 11.—Yarns, fustians, and domestic -cloth
continue very dull of sale ; but printing cloths of all widths,
contrary to general expectancy, are in good demand, and a
large amount of:business has been done in them this week, and
someihouses feel so certain that no sensible decline will take
place ; that they have even contracted for two months to come.
Thernanufacturers are aware that stocks are extremely light.
and that in a very short time • the, printers must come into the
market in spite of themselves ; we therefore fear that printing
cloth will not recede much An price for some time to come,
although we have no fear that it can go any higher. The talk
about a general tarn-out at Ashton and the neighbourhood is
not likely to take place ; but we should be delighted to learn
that the masters had advanced the-wages of their hands. The
printers are very flat, cad some houses are clearing out their
de-lains at an awful sacrifice. The_ price of 27-inch 66's may
be quoted Is. to ss. 41(1., and. 2=s ss. 7d. to 65..1 d.
Lrsns.—Notwithstanding the advancing season, the woollen
cloth trade continues active in all its branches, with a fair pros-
pect of being more-brisk at Christmas than it was at Midsum-
mer- A good deal of -business-has been done in the Cloth Halls
since our last, in add;tion to the large amount of cloth made to
order. Prices except for particular samples, remain without
material change.

HYTDDERSFIELD MAJIKET.—The transactions at this market.
on Tuesday, presented no new feature. There was a good -de-
mand for nearly all descriptions of goods suitable for the sea-
son, more especially kerseys and plain -cloths, which generally
realised late prices. The wool market was considered firm.

ADFORD • MA agia.—There was aconsiderabie demand for
manufactured goods at this market on Thursday, but although
the stocks on hand were somewhat scrl.l2ly, the manufacturers

were unable to realise any advance coMMensurate with the in-
creased prices which they allege they have been obliged to give
for Yarns and labour. Late prices were, however, in gener..l,
freely given. The Yarn IVlarket was brisk, both for home con.
samption and for exportation, but the Spinners complained that
the:prices offered would not allow them to replace their Stocks
in consequence of the altered value of wool. There was a good
deal of business done in the Wool Market, prices being very
firm, notwithstanding the.aupply of fresh wools was considered
large.

HAWFAX MARKET.—There was a good demand for mixture
cloths. laslings, as well as for Orleans, Merino and other plain
cloths sit this market on Saturday last, and,prices underwent no
material4rariation. Yarns also were in steady request at recent
rates. he Wool market.wae well supplied, and there was a
fair business done in that article.

WAILIMELD WOOL MARKST.—We have had but few trans-
actions in any description of Combing Wools this week. Ma-
nufacturers not being able to obtain an advance on goods pro-
portionate to that on Wool, are holding oft. Prices are never-
theless firm. Blankets and law clothing Wools are without al.
teration.

RAIINSLILY LINEN TRADE.- There is a , deeided improvement
in the linen or staple trade of this place. A turn-out amongst
the tick weavers which has existed for several weeks against
the firm of Jrliessrs. Haxworth and Carnley, remains still the
same.

CLAYTON WEST.—Great activity exists in the fancy trade at
this place and the surrounding ,district, notwithstanding the ad-
vanced state of the season. Therespectable firm of Wood and
Walker are finding employment for an extraordinary number
of hands.
