are all very busy The woolen cloth trade, Saddcworh
continues much in the dull The hating trade
ut Oldham Ashton, Denton Hyde, Stockport and their
vcinues, is by no brisk usually the
this of the year. The silk trade at Middleton.
Manchester, Leigh, Re continues brisk especially fancy
goods but plain ssrccncts much inquired after yet
silk dycrs, wrappers and wndcrs fully employed The
silk small ware trade in the districts is very brisk and
masters cannot yet get goods manufactured their
demands.
MANcHESrER-The mercantile accounts from Indir and
Chnn by the last overland mall do seem 10 have
duced any effect upon the market which, us manufac
tued goods concerned, continues the same firm stea
dy aud healthy in which has been three
or Tour weeks large amount OF business being DONE
without any material change in prices Perhaps the de-
mand is somewhat general than II was fortnight ngo
which may be Inscribed to the improvement of the homo
trade There is now full employment for operatives
and their have been and gradually
and may hope, from the competition for hands which
now exists, for further mproy the condition Of
our working classes.
BoLroN-Eycry week continues add incr, ased bright
ness TO the prospects OF this Countcpaes 20 ON
well, steady improvement both in demand and price,
and at the time the better paid
for their labor than they have been for time past Quilt
ngs, musns and fancy goods OF various kinds meet with
comparatively ready sale, and the markets kinds
goods wear cheering aspect Cotton yarns have received
check in the demand during the fortnight but have
rather improved. Foundrcs both and ron are ca
tremely busy, and are employing many hands than
they have done for months past The bleach works all
very throng OF work
ROcHDALg FLANNEL MARKrr.-Therc has been scarce.
" any change in the market to-day from tn
|
Transacted at prices nearly the Work begins TO be
more scarce, and few mills are running short time
Unemployed weayers and workmen the increase In
the wool market there sno change report prices satona
~, and demand limited
TRADE OF LEEps.-The demand of the last few weeks
has considerably reduced the stocks of fine and mid
die qualities OF goods in the Cloth Halls although there
was not quite much done these articles this week ne
Tor the previous few weeks. There has also been less do
ing IN twecd more particularly in low qualities the stocks
OF which arceare getting rather heavy and prices shade
lower Business has been quite brisk in the wor,
houses we learn that there little improvement in goods
Tor shipping some good parcels having been sold for the
American market.
HupprRSFrTLp MAEEEr.-There has been a falling Off in
the quantity of business done during last week as com
pared with the previous week but there is Notwithstanding
better eeng prevalent among both merchants and manu-
iactuers, from which would augur more substantial
benefits uiimatey.-Wc longer recognize that .X
cesve dstst which characterized the operation of er
chants some time ago. when of the transactions were
o such anatuTe entail fearful loss upon the seller
and though We persuaded that difficult indeed for
the manufactures Ia realize the rifng profit we
would nevertheless hope that the gone by when
he will be called upon submit an enormous sacrifice
AT the Liverpool sales the attendance very good indeed
TOR the small quantity offered and the sellers were i'm every
respect satisfied with the prices realized.
BRADFoRp MARKEr-There has scarcely been so hume
ros an attendance at merchants in the piece market To-.
day nor has the business done been equal TO last weeks
yet uir quantity of goods has changed hands and the
prices very firm We hear that the demand for yarn
continues steady, but no alteration in prices There has
been rather more doing in wool during the week and the
stock oi common sorts scarcely abundant as for some
time past, which Is bc attributed To the indifference of
the stprr 10 purchase fresh stock seeing no chance of
realizing profit by his transactions. In prices no atera
ton, but greater firmncss i manifested.
HALIFAX MAEEET-We have nothing new 10 notice in
tins market, either To wool manufactured goods
fnces OF the former stationary, last quotations
NoTTISGHAN.-The silk glove branch still keeps impro
wing, and have heard of few shops being extremely
brisk; but this, be understood by no means gene
raj ON the contrary several Of the minor houses have been
dischaging hands The drawer branch does NOT par,ak in
TIC same manner OF this improvement demand The silk
knoed branch Is in most amentabe state the hands hav
ing IN great measure To snatch at employment. The full
fashioned cotton hose branch is in n toerable state
The bobbin net trade still keeps improving.
