STATE OF TRADE,

MANCRESTER.—It is an exceedingly gratifying duty we
have to perform, in announcing this week a much more
healthful feeling in our market than has been experienced for
months. Things are not only keeping up, but considerably
improved. All sorts of goods are going off well at last
week's rates, but most manufacturers will not sell unless at
considerably higher prices. We believe we may Venture to
sat', that more business has been done during the past Week,
than has been transacted within any month for a long time
previously. ' A better tone pervades Commercial intercourSe,
and all parties appear in better spirits. Domesfie cloth is
very much improved in price, and all widths of printing. cloth
are selling freely. The fact is, that printers have eiliatisted
all their stocks, and they are preparing for the demands, nf
the autumn trade. If we could only prevail upon the ma-
nufacturers not to run into spinning for at least a month to
come, we feel confident that they will find their return .in a
short time. Should they, however, again commence Mann-
facturing, they may rely upon the present healthy .reaction
being destroyed, and the market again swamped, as it has
been too much lately. If they can abstain from.glutting the
market, and will allow this feeling of restored confidence to
grow a little longer, they will soon obtain what even the pre-
sent advanced rates do not give, remunerating prices fur
their goods. Prices are as follow :—Power-loom printers,
27-inch 66's, 4s. 47id. to 4s. 71d. ; and 72's, 4s. Md. to
ss. 3d. 40-inch cloth, particularly low 40-inch, is fully 3d,
per piece higher.—Adrertiser of Salmi-day.
TRADE OF LENDS.—The markets at the Cloth Halls dur-
ing the week have maintained the activity which we noticed
last week, and as several of the metropolitan and provincial
buyers have been in the town, there has been some anima-
tion in the warehouses more particularly connected with the

—lbid.

BARNSLEY.—We have great pleasure in announncing a
little more activity in the linen trade. Some of the principal
houses are now giving out work very liberally. and it is hoped
that most of the weavers will be employed in a short time
if the present expectations of the manufacturers should be
realized.—lbid.

BRAD.FORD MARKET.—There was again a numerous at-
tendance of buyers at this market, and a considerable business
was done in figured and other fancy stuff, but no material
improvement in prices was realised. The yarn market was
proportionately active, at former rates. There was a better
supply of combing wools suitable to the current trade, but
the spinners, seeming to think the supply greater than the
demand, and that prices could not long be maintained, de_
clined to purchase beyond their immediate wants. There is
no doubt that wools have been botight considerably lower in
Scotland than they were last year, but, as they are now nearly
all in the staplers' hands, prices will not be allowed to fall
much, if the present improvement should.contmue.—lbid.
HUDDERSFIELD MARKET. The transactions at this
market on Tuesday presented no new featn‘re. There was a
fair business done in some new shades of 1 weeds; and other
cloths suitable to the domestic fall trade. In other branches
there was very little animation.

ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAy, JUL,
There is a change in the flannel market to- day for the worse.
The pieces sold have. been few, and the day
have offered
lower prices, which, in numerous instances, have been re-
fused. The wool market is much the same as that of the
preceding Monday.
