STATE OF TRADE.

(From the Leeds Hercury).
TRADE OF LEEDS.—The quantity of woollen golds sold at
the Cloth.halls this week has again been below an average of
the quantity sold weekly during the last three months; yet
from the state of the weather and from the shortness of day-
light for burling, drying, &c., the supply brought to market
during the last fortnight has been but small ; and notwith-
standing there being less sold, the stocks continue very low,
and prices without any alteration. A few of the London buyers
have been in the market during the week, but their transac-
tions have been but small ; on the whole bnsineas is dull is
the warelicires.
BARNSLRY TRADE.—Puring the last week larger quantities
of yarn have been bought by thsmanufactu'ers than have been
bought in one week for a long time.
COTTON TRADE, MANCHESTER.—FRIDAY NOON.—Although
speculation appears for the last day or two to be at
stand in the Liverpool market, there is I,evertheiess so much
uncertainty in the minds of spinners to the upshot of the ex-
tensive operations of the last few weeks, that nothing like sta-
bility in the value of either goods or yarns can for
the moment be established. The business done in grey
cloths and yarns since Tuesday has been on the most limited
scale ; and there can be no doubt that where a heavy buyer
has appeared, the most needy manufacturers have given way
in price from the nominal rates of Tuesday. There is not,
however, any fair cause of complaint of the business doing i°
finished goods.

TUE SILK Taana.—:Considering the season of the year,
there is a fair average business doing this week, and some
houses have sold largely of plain sarsnets. The great slack"
ness in the raw article now for a long time past, has during
the winter time operated frivourably for all parties concerned
in the trade ; operations not having been in any way curtailed
by similar uncertainties with those attending the cotton trade.
There is no prospect of any advance on wages, and on the,„
contrarynothing is apprehended on the part of the weavers 01
any further decline.
•LEICESTER —The home demand continues steady, though
not brisk. The shaAsl and fancy trade is very dull, but gloves
are selling freely. Worsted is without alteration in price, and
the wool market is quieter. —Leicester Chronicle.
HALlFAX.—Saturday's market was a Male more lively than
last week's. More buyers attended, and more goods were sold.
