STATE OF TRADE.

Mars-en esTp.a.—lt 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
i week's rates, but most manufacturers will not sell unless at
considerably higher prices. We believe we may venture to
say, 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. Domestic cloth is
very much improved in price, and all widths of printing cloth
are selling freely. The fact is, that printers have exhausted
all their stocks, and they are preparing for the demands of
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 manu-
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 for
their goods. Prices are as follow :—Power-loom printers,
27-inch 66's, 4s. 4/el. to 4s. 71d. ; and 72's, 45. lOW. to
ss. 3d.. 40-inch cloth, particularly low 40-inch, is fully 3d.
per piece higher.—,4dvertiser of Saturday.
TRADE or LEEDS.—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-
tlon in the warehouses more particularly connected with the
home trade.—Leeds Intelliyencer, of Saturday
H ECKNIONDWIKE BLANKET MARRET.—The improvement
which has taken place in some other branches of the Woollen
Trade has extended itself to blankets, druggets, &c. and there
was, in consequence, an increased attendance of buyers here
on Monday, and more business was done. At Dewsbury the
operatives are more fully employed than they were recently.
—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 ha a short time
if the present expectations of the manufacturers should be
realized.—lbid.

BRADFORD 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 bought 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 continue.—lbid,

market on Tuesday presented no new feature. There teas a fair business done in some new shades of Tweeds,

The pieces sold have been few, and the buyers have offer '
lower prices, which, in numerous instances, have been re-
fused. The wool market is much the same as that of the
preceding Monday.
