TRADE AND MARKETS.

-1,..--.....-

MANUFACTURES

MANCHESTER.—AIthough a much more restricted
demand is again observable in this market, there is still
sufficient inquiry to sustain the improved position of
producers. To some extent the more moderate proceed-
ings of the week are due to an indisposition to accept the
same low prices for goods, for future delivery, that were
willingly taken for those in stock. There was a pretty
steady demand on Tuesday ; but any attempt to obtain
an advance met with decided discouragement, and since
then there has been no disposition to concede anything
beyond full previous rates. The decline in the Liverpool
cotton market has tended still further to confirm the
reluctance of buyers to operate at full prices. In yarns,
the demand for both India and Germany has again fallen
off, and the highest rates of last week are barely obtain-
able. For the Levant and Mediterranean a steady inquiry
continues, and manufacturers buy pretty freely at the

the demand for India shirtings and other goods is again
more moderate, the Greek houses have been large
operators, both in light and the heavier descriptions.

ROCHDALE.—As Christmas approaches, the demand
for flannels is not quite so brisk as it has been. The wool
market has been firm, and for brokes (broken wool) and
noils a better price has been obtained.
HUDDERSFIELD.—There is scarcely anything, of im-
portance to note in this market. All—merchants and
manufacturers—complain that they have nothing to do,

as they should have at this period. Days of the market
are as quiet as can well be conceived in a town that lately
presented a busy aspect. Withal, prices appear to keep
well up, and no inducements are offered beyond a few
occasional job lots. . . . . . . .

LEED.S...—There is no change to notice in the state of
the woollen trade this week. Business is on a limited
scale, but prices are firm, and the tone of the trade is of

BRADFORD.—WooI: The spinners buy with great
caution, and ,at the prices sought by the staplers it is
impossible to' cover cost. Notwithstanding all the dull-
ness in the trade at the seat of consumption, there is no
disposition on the part of the growers and country dealers
to accept prices at all in accordance with what can be
realised. Noils and brokers are firm, and held in small
—Yarns : There is no inducement to ine”-
---1 th he

the production, ant as ae majority of the spinners are
only working daylight, and others not so much, the sup-
plies are daily diminishing, and ruled yarns in stock can-
not be found at present prices.—Pieces : In the ware-
houses, for finished goods, the demand has been better,
and the merchants have reduced their stocks far below
usual average. This course has deterred the manufacturers
from making, and the year will close with certainly not
half the stock of goods as its predecessor.
NOTTINGHAM.—The hosiery trade is finding partial
employment for the workpeople, but there is still very
muchless business doing than might reasonably be expected
for the season ; as if business ran in its ordinary channels
we ought to be busy preparing for the home spring trade.
The lace trade is as dull as it always is at this period, with
the exception perhaps of very narrow silk edgings which
are being extensively used for bonnet trimmings. On the
whole, however, each trade may be reported healthy, inas-
much as the stocks on hand are small, and we have spring
to look to instead of winter, which is encouraging.
LEICESTER.—There is but little change in the state
of trade this week. Through a succession of orders for the
army in the Crimea, the workmen and the spinners have
been more fully employed than had been expected at this
season of the year. Prices of material remain as last
quoted.
