taking being wound up voluntarily, and of the
transfer of the business and property to a new com-
pany, with a capital of 1,200,000/., in 40,000 shares

The subjoined report upon the leather trade is
from the circular of Messrs. T. J. and T. Powell :
We have again to report a steadily increasing demand
fee leather during the month just closed, although the
'lteration in prices is very slight. Per some months,
however, the stocks of sole leather of all kinds have been
gradually diminishing, and this diminution has been
more marked during beptember than in any of the preced-
ing months. The supplies during the same period have
scarcely amounted to an average. It must also be re-
membered that the recent demand has partaken as little
as possible of a speculative character, buyers generally
having shown fuUy their usual caution ; it may therefore
be inferred that no sudden check will be given to the
trade. but that the gradual improvement may fairly be ex-
pected to continue. Raw Goods—The imports have again
been small, and have for the most part gone into coo-
sumption, leaving the stocks on hand almost unpreoe-
denteally mall. Priori have not materially changed, but an
upward tendency has been apparent at both the public
sales of the month. At Leadenhall yesterday there was
again a small supply of fresh leather ; good English butts
of all weights were in active request ; English bellies also
were scarce and sold freely, but the amount of Imaineen
generally was not important.
