STATE OF TRADE.

(From the Leeds Intelligeneer of Saturday.)
LEEDS.—Matters still wear an unpleasant aspect. Little
doing in the cloth halls or warehouses. But the spring trade
is at hand.
BRADFORD.—On Thursday the piece market was very dull.
Some kinds of wool, short and noil, are declining in price ;
the long wool still maintains itself. Yarns flat, prices a shads
lower in many instances.
HALIFAX.—On Wednesday few goods were offered for gale,
yet more than enough for the demand. The old market dal'
Saturday, will be recurred to on the 25th instant ; till then,
business of all sorts will languish.
ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MARCH 13.—There has been
a good deal of business done in flannels to-day ; perhaps rote
have been sold than on any other market-day during the pre'
sent year ; but the prices have been extremely low. The de-
mand has been chiefly for those of the middling and better
qualities. The wool market has been dull, and very few Po"
chases have been made.

LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKET, MARCH 18.
- We have to report, this week, a continuance of the gloom 1d
depression in the cotton market, there being the same anxiety 1°
force sales, with as little demand, and the same tendency downward'
as when prices were 3d. per lb. higher. American cotton has de"
clined, during the week, 1/2d. to %d. per lb. Sea Island is un-
changed in price, but not much inquired for. Egyptian is ne
andis very irregular, and almost nominal in price. Brazil, Per,'
nam, and Maranham have declined lhd. per lb. ; in Bahia a fmt
extent of business has been done at former rates. Surat has de-
clined I%d. per lb. during the week. The sales of the week amounr•
to 15,700 bales, including 350 American on speculation, and 60°
for export, namely :
