WOOLLEN TRADE.

113 14.

(From the Leeds Mercury of this day.)

LEEDS, Jan. 12.—We have to report a little itn
provement in the state of the woollen market this week.
Both on Saturday and on Tuesday there was a good
attendance of merchants in the cloth halls, and consi-
derable activity. A much better tone prevailed gene-
rally in the market, and a good quantity of cloth
changed owners.
HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY, Jan. 9.—The market to-
day was an improvement upon our former reports.
There were buyers from London and the sister isle in
attendance. They, however, did not purchase exten•
sively, as is supposed from prices not meeting their ex-
pectations, and the cost of goods having been such that
any sensible reduction would strike off all profit.
ROCHDALE, Jan. B.—This has been the new, or first
market, on which day holiday is kept by the good people
of Rochdale, and there is necessarily a great hindrance
to the transaction of business. The market has been
quiet and little doing, at prices no ways different from
those of last week. The wool market is inactive, but
prices firm.
BRADFORD, Thursday.—Wool—There is no improve-
ment to note in this department, but there is every hope
of a change for the better. Yarns—The demand for
some kinds 3 improved, and the aspect is more hopeful
than it has been for some time past. Pieces—This de-
partment also wears a more cheerful appearance, and
hopes are entertained of an improved state of things.
HALIFAX, Saturday.—We have had more doing in the
piece market today, and in yarns there are fair orders
out. The wool market is rather bare of useful long
stapled kinds, and prices, consequently, are inclined to
be dearer. Clothing wools likewise show greater activity
at improved rates.

MADAME TOSSADD'S EXIIIIIITION.—Among the more
striking groups in the exhibition is, perhaps, the pre-
sent war group, as it seems to attract the chief atten-
tion of the numerous visitors. The figure of Omer
Pacha is particularly striking, and we understand, from
competent judges, it is an admirable likeness. That of
Lord Raglan is also highly creditable to the artists em-
ployed. The whole appearance of the great room is
greatly improved by the removal of the orchestra, which
not only considerably adds to the general effect, but
the musical powers are considerably enhanced.
FIRE AT THE LONDON GASWORKS.—Yesterday after-
noon a fire broke out at the London Gasworks, which
at one time threatened most disastrous results, not merely
to the works but also to the neighbourhood. While an
immense gasometer was being filled, a portion of the
metal flew off, and the gas, becoming ignited, blazed up
to such a height as to fire the wooden bridges that ex-
tended over the gasometer. The men belonging to the
establishment went to work in an admirable manner to
extinguish the fire ; but, unfortunately, whilst some of
the hands were conveying a heavy ladder towards the
gasometer, it fell violently on the chest of a man named
Clarke, breaking his breast-bone and otherwise severely
injuring him. Some hours elapsed before the fire was
subdued. The manager of the works estimates the quan-
tity of gas consumed at between 40,000 and 50,000 feet.
Mea are actively engaged, says the Constilutionnel,
in making roads at the camps of the North. The ground
in and near the camp at St. Omer has been so completely
drained that it is now as clean as any town, and, thanks
to the care of the Emperor, the soldiers have every kind
of enjoyment, such as a theatre, cafda, and other things
calculated to increase their comforts. The camps of
Wimereux and Honvault have also completed their
theatres, and that at Equihem, which was blown down
by the late gales, will be shortly repaired. Eaoh ef the
camps will have two representations a-week. There will
also be a theatre at Helfaut, but some delay has been
experienced in its construction.
On Thursday, on the south side et the Thames, as
also in the north part of the metropolis, the reduction in
Ithe 41b. loaf was to that of Bd. for the best wheaten
bread ; inferior, 7d. to 71d. Many of the large bakers,
however, from some unknown cause, still maintained
the high price of 10d. per ilb. loaf.
