STATE OF TRADE.

(From the Leeds Mercury.)
FOREIGN WOOL.—LEEDS, Nov. I.—We cannot
note any improvement in the demand for foreign 9 00l
since our last, but, still a steady business continues to
be carried on, and prices remain without any material
alteration.
ENGLISH WOOL MARKET.—LEEDS Nov. 1.--Sales
have continued (lull during the present week. Prices
have been without any material alteration. though
tending downwards. The manufacturers think the
prospect of the demand for goods unfavourable,
and therefore many are materially reducing their con-
sumption, which circumstance makes them still more
indisposed to buy.
TRADE OF LIEEDS.—We have scarcely ever known
less business (lone at our cloth-halls at this season of
the year than during the present week ; the demand,
which has for some time past been brisk for low-priced
and heavy goods, has fallen off very considerably. Low-
priced goods, however, maintain their price. As to
goods of finer qualities, the prices are nominal.
HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, TUESDAY.—Thig was
another dull market, worse than any this season. Hap-
pily there are special orders, otherwise the oieratives
would he generally out of employment. Fancy woollens
are most in request, but business is in a wretched state
generally. 'Wools of a middle and low quality remain
tolerably firm, while the finer sorts are decidedly lower.
TRADE OF HOLIIFIRTH, &C.—The past month b
is
been one of very languid business. The mills are now
scarcely half employed, and at most of them daylight
suffices to get through with the work. No necessity at
present for a Ten Hours Bill. The effects are felt by
all classes—manufacturers cannot sell to any extent
without loss—the circulation of money
is impeded--
retaildealers complain heavily—and the operatives are
suffering, and are likely to have to suffer more severely
from reduced wages, inadequate employment, and the
high price of provisions. Some of the manufacturers
hold their goods, but there is no encouragement
for them to increase their stocks ; others are making
great sacrifices, and if the present state of things
continue much longer, many will be involved in
inextricable difficulties. The anxious inquiry is
What is the cause of the present commercial
difficulties ? and Corn-laws and Currency-laws come
in for the blame. But whether it be the CarrencY-
laws or the Corn-laws—over-population or over-tll%e"
tion—enpidity or carelessness, which has of late years
caused the streams of trade to alternately low with the
impetuosity of a mountain torrent, or move so sluggishlY,
as to stagnate and putrify, if the primary cause be fit'
removed, the evil will press with accumulating force nn
the energies of the country—damp enterprise--desteeY
confidence—drive capital into other nations--make our
merchants bankrupts, and our labourers paupers.
all
bank monopoly—the Corn-law monopoly—Ye"'
monopolies are fast hastening their own death throes.
BRADFORD MARKET, THURSDAY.—In the Piece-
market we hear of nothing but complaints, and all sew
to go on curtailing their production, which is the one'
legitimate way of bringing things to their proper Jer,
We regret our inability to report any improvement in
the yarn market, which, we understand, is now in aversl
undesirable condition, owing to the great disproportma.
which stil continues between the price of the raw eta,
terial and the manufactured article. Low and middle

is no new feature in the wool business. Fine combing
sorts continue in small request at our last q
but middle and lower sorts are scarce, and consequentLY
prices are firm. notation!,

COLBURN'S NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE
FOR NOVEMBER, among a variety of amusing Papers,
contains an exceedingly interesting Biographical No-
tice of the late John Horne, Esq., author of" Douglas,'
&c., with some pieces never before published, for which
the public is indebted to a near relative of the poet. The
Letters from Garrick, David Hume, and others, are
very characteristic of the writers, and one especial',"
from Lord Bute exhibits traits highly honourable t°
that Nobleman. A Note of a Conversation betwee°
Ht.nie and Lord Chatterton is interesting, as attest'
ing that illustrious individual's respect for, and apprecv
ation of, the value of classical learning. Home sr
pears to have been an indefatigable contributor to the
periodicals of his time, and several extracts are given
from his political Letters. This Biographical Notice
adds considerably to our knowkel;e of Home's cbaraclr
and habits. Another article in this Number, which ;-
will delight all readers, is a Tale of the Countess
Blessington, entitled " Matrimony," full of that knows
ledge of the world and of character, and of those touch
co
of nature and of feeling, for which all her writings are of
distinguished. This pleasing tale exhibits the dangere
young wives exacting attentions only paid during tee.
days of courtship, and endeavours to lower the W 0...
rated and romantic expectations of the unbroken fen
cities of wedded lovers. There are other Papers front?
the pens of Mrs. Trollope, Laman Blanchard, a 4
other distinguished writers.
