TRADE AND MARKETS.

MANUFACTURE

MANCHESTER.—The glorious harvest weather has
had a beneficial effect upon this market. A more confident
feeling in the future prosperity of commercial affairs, to be
brought about by cheap food and an easy money market,
has given rise to more decided action on the part of buyers.
This has imparted a greater degree of firmness to the
value of both goods and yarns, and in but few instances
will the prices, that would have been willingly accepted
last week, now be entertained. In yarns the operations
for India have been renewed, in consequence of which
prices have' regained their former position. For Germany
and the Continent generally, as well as for the Mediter-
ranean, the demand is also better, whilst manufacturers
are again more freely in the market. For all descriptions
very full prices are required. The goods market is also
better than of late. The Greek houses have again been
busy, and large orders for long cloths, T-cloths, and
domestics have been given out. The home trades have
been rather more in the market, but their offers are not
liberal enough to meet with very ready acceptance. On
the whole, decidedly more has been done in this depart-
ment of the market, and at fuller rates.

ROCHDALE.—A very good demand for flannels, at
rather better pricy., and a considerable amount of business
has been transacted. The wool market has not under-
gone much change ; it remains steady, and the tendency
of prices is upward.

HUDDERSFIELD.—A quiet market in both the piece
hall and the warehouses, very little business having been
transacted in any of the branches of the Huddersfield
trade. The fancy woollen and vesting trade has been
quieter than for some time past.

LEEDS.—More than an average quantity of seasonable
goods has changed hands ; there has also been rather more
doing out of the halls during the last few days. Prices•
are without any alteration, the stocks moderate, and a
pretty general expectation of a good trade for the winter
is anticipated. Business to a full average amount has
been transacted in the warehouses for the home trade, but
the foreign houses are rather quiet.

BRADFORD.—WooI : The disposition to buy wool at
present prices is not on the increase ; purchases are made
very sparingly, and as the supply of all kinds of wool in
the market is now abundant, the desire to sell is more
apparent. Noils and brokes are without change.—Yarns:
The contracts for delivery in September cannot be effected
at the same price as the last month. The spinners are
now in a bad position, from the great disproportion
between the cost of wool and the ruling price for yarns.
This applies to both spools and hank.—Pieces : There is
no marked alteration in the business for this week ; and,
as the old orders are completed, the manufacturers seek
an advance, which the merchants are not free to give ;
the operations are limited in consequence, but as stocks
are low, and the production small, there is no doubt, ere
long, it will be realised.

NOTTINGHAM.—No alteration in either of the staple
trades, although we are anxiously looking forward to an
increased business in consequence of being blessed with

so good a harvest as is now being housed in most splendid
condition. The prices of both hosiery and lace yarns if
not, at present, absolutely advanced—there is every
prospect, from the state of things in Lancashire, of their
being so before long.

LEICESTER.—AII things are moving very satisfactorily
in the various departments of trade, and the increasing
benefits that must result from the splendid harvest
weather and abundant crops, fill us with pleasurable
anticipations of the good time before us. Wools are firm,
and yarn at the late advance.
