State OF Trade.
From the Liverpool Courier May L.
LEEps.The wooen trade is still improving, a large
amount of goods having met with purchasers this
week Prices do not advance. and, though much more
cloth is being produced than there month ago,
stocks are not heavy, and are not accommodating.
BRADroRD.-The demand for yarn continues mac
tive and must necessarily continue till there
additional outlets beyond the home consumption The
recent disturbed state of France has retarded the
ufacture of piece goods and of French mernos, of
which large quantities have been usually imported into
this country also sent to America, there is is
stock OF moment to be found. As substitute, nice,
soft makes in Coburgs looked favoraby upon, in
which large business has been done by the home
trade houses during the week. Fancy goods for the
autumn are expected to go well, both for here and
America some orders now in course of execution.
RocHDALE.-The market has shown some improve
men that of the preceding week There has been
rather better demand for pieces but improvement
in prices The government order for flannel became
known Monday and it has been apportioned to
about four manufacturers The contract is stated to
be for 5000 pieces the weight of each piece II pounds
and the length yards 1t is said the price Is
at a decided reduction from the last contract.
HALIrAX.-A more cheerful tone to prevail
throughout the Piece Hail. but it cannot be said there
is any actual improvement in the worsted trade. For
plain goods there is literally no demand. and fancy
goods only dribbe of in small lots at extremely low
prices There is no alteration to note in the demand
for yarn
HuppERsrIELp.-The fine weather has produced a
favorable effect upon the market and large qua nifty
of goods has changed hands in the Cloth Hall but the
trade has been principally in low priced woollens In
Alnonbury and tho Kirkburton districts there is
stagnation in the fancy trade.
NoTTINGHAM-Although the London demand for
the best fancy lace goods continues yet the supply
here is but little improved by it. perfect stagnation
exists in all other departments Operations from
America are scarcely begun. and nothing worth
mark is doing for the continent. There is general
Improvement in all the various branches of the hosis
ry.trade. In cotton hose there is large amount Of
business doing, particularly in that class of goods
called straits and mock fashioned The glove branch
in cotton Isle thread and spun, is in state great
activity. good trade is also doing in silk Gloves so
a rod in
healthy state In pantaoons and shirts there is
business doing in the home trade
LEIcEsTER.-ThGre is more confidence in the main
tenancs of prices, an evidence of improved tone n
business and some contracts (for delivering in the
tumn for goods for home trade have been entered in
to- Yarns have been moved from the spinners stocks
to extent but little improvement be reported
in either the continental or American demand
GLAsGow-The improved feeling of the last week
has steadily continued during the present, and
mercial matters now assume decided appearance OF
settling down toa steady progressive improvement
The transactions in cotton have been but to mode
rate extent the spnners buying merely to supply their
inmediate wants No alteration can be noticed in
price, holders remaining firm under the impression
that an advance will soon take place The import d.
rect has been considerable amounting to nearly 5000
bales. In the cloth and yarn market a fair business
has been done at steady prices.
MANCHESTER, TUESDAY EVENING. May love have
state of things and but for the home trade which has
been to fair exe Mt matters would have been really
very discouraging when however the unfavorable
news from Paris became known it proved a complete
dampor and all parties seemed disposed to opera

doing moderate business, but the prices low be-
you'd all experience The silk trade is perhaps as
lcllthy any branch, but this. now that the
spring trade is all but over will doubt partake of
general inactivity that pervades other branches
