likely ere long to lead to equally good results.
Many more orders have been received in the mar-
ket for different shares than could be executed, the
prices offered in accordance with last week's quo-
tatations not being sufficient to tempt sellers.
The reports from the manufacturing districts are
satisfactory. At Leeds there has been no material
change to report in the -general business of the
warehouses, trade as usual at this time of the year
being exceedingly dull. At Bradford a fair busi-
ness was done in the market for worsted goods,_
and full-rafes were obtained for all descriptions;
yarns also hrought-itither-hiher prices, and piece
goods-ree,liard- enhanced- value's. - -At-Halifax-there

in full operation, and large quantities- of- linen
goods, drills and sheetiugs in particular, are for-

and Scotland •to be bleteched and finished at
Barnsley. The Coal trade continues brisk. but the
demand at some- of the collieries for -Silks-tone
coal is not so good as it. was a fortnight ago. The
Great Northern Railway,Company,which is a large
purchaser; and upon whom- some of the colliery
proprietors are in a great measure dependent for a
market, are at present taking very little, but then
this is-on account of large accumulated stocks at
their depots, or some other cause, we cannot say.
The demand for Barnsley " bards" or steam coal
has also as far as that zompany is concerned fallen
off, but such is now the 'general, demand for that
kind of coal for-export and other sources• that its
effect upon the trade is not much felt, and so•fitr
