TRADE AND MARKETS.

MANUFACTURES

MANCHESTER.—Notwithstanding the general dull-
ness, partly induced by one or two large failures, prices
are not seriously altered; and the market, as a whole,

may be considered pretty firm. Yarns have been tolerably
steady, although the inquiry has been limited. The
demand for India continues on a restricted scale, and
buyers find some little advantage. For Germany there is
also but little doing, but the inquiry for the Mediterranean
keeps prices pretty steady. Manufacturers only buy
sparingly, at a decline of about *d per lb. The most con-
siderable operations in goods are for the Levant, by the
Greek houses, who continue to purchase domestics, T
cloths, long cloths, light shirtings, and printers, pretty
largely. For India there is still very little doing, but
many manufacturers having altered their looms to descrip-
tions of goods less depressed, stocks do not accumulate so
largely, and prices are less seriously reduced than would

otlierw' Ise be the case.

ROCHDALE.—The demand for flannels has quite
equalled if not eKeeeded the supply. Little change in the
wool market ; demand moderate, and prices firm.

HUDDERSFIELD.—A slight improvement in the
demand for goods. In some of the warehouses more has
been doing, but as a general rule business has not been
brisk. The fancy vesting trade continues very depressed.
A slightly improved demand for wools.

LEEDS.—The principal bulk of seasonable goods being
in course of delivery to direct orders, the supplies brought

ry limiter

.
quence, the markets have ruled dull, from want of a
sufficient supply. The stocks generally are low in the
manufacturers' hands : the mills are in full operation ;
prices are steady ; the trade has been pretty brisk in the
warehouses this week, and the business doing is considered

free from speculation

BRADFORD.—WooI : No new feature to notice in this
branch ; prices rule too high to induce spinners to operate.
The supply in the market is on the increase, especially in
the commission warehouses. Noils and brokes are sought
after at full prices.—Yarns : The firmness maintained in
the prices of wool is a great barrier to the spinner, for
since the opening of the clip in June, the prices for wool
have been on the increase, the increased cost being nearly
is per gross. Yarns have not kept pace with wool, and
either a great advance must be realised on yarns, or the
quantity made greatly diminished.—Pieces : The demand
for goods is rather on the increase, but the prices are
deplorably bad, and will not cover cost at the present
price of raw material.
NOTTINGHAM.—There is no improvement in the
lace and hosiery trades since last report ; indeed it is

rather worse as regards the first mentioned business—
where anything is doing in the latter it is only partial,
Price of yarn nominally the same.

HALIFAX.—There have been few persons present in
the piece-hall, either as buyers or sellers. Yarns remain
about the same, both as to demand and price, and wool is
firm, but little doing.
