STATE OF TRADE.

(From the Leeds Intelligencer of Saturday.)
LEEDS.—In the Cloth Halls on Saturday there was a
full attendance, and a general feeling prevailed that things
wore a more favourable aspect, ald, indeed, there
were symptoms of business, though we cannot say that prices
have improved. The worst is evidently passed. A great
number of persons arc out of employment in the borough,
and some of them suffer severe distress, owing to the Whig
non nsi ricordo Poor-law system. If a starving man, and
his poor lean wife and family, apply to the parish officer,
the answer is, "No power." If an appeal be made to the
magistrates, the same answer, "No power." Oh, no, no
power to do good—plenty for the opposite ; there's a power
of mischief. With regard to wool, we think the lowest
point has been attained, though sonic of the staplers say
nay. In Germany, purchases have been made at the spring
fairs fully 25 per cent. higher than the same kind of wool is
now selling for in Leeds. On Tuesday there was more ani-
mation than we have of late seen, and the holders of most
kinds of goods confidently look out for an advance.
BRADFORD.—There was an improvement in the piece-
market on Thursday, and prices have become firm—a pre-
lude to an advance. There is also a disposition to purchase
yarn at the old prices. The wool trade is dull, and prices
nominal.

HUDDERSFIELD.—No material alteration in the trade of
this district ; but the aspect of the market indicates an ap-
proaching improvement.
WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET.—WC have had more in-
quiry and a greater extent of business done in combing wool
this week than for many months past, and though we can-
not note any improvement in prices, yet there is evidently
a better feeling and more confidence in the market than has
rzisted since the present panic commenced. All short wools
still remain very dull, and the prices in them merely nominal.
YORK WOOL MARKET, JUNE 20.—Our Wool Markets
have become so inanimate and deficient, both in supply and
demand, that its transactions lose a great deal of its conse-
quence, so much so as to render it very difficult to give a
faithful report of its transactions. We have to-day had a
limited supply of wool, with a fair attendance of buyers,
yet, notwithstanding this, but a small comparative quantity
of business has been done. In justice to all parties we are
bound to say the turn of the market has been, if anything,
in favour of the grower. Unquestionably a groat deal of
wool is in the growers' hands, and the only rational way we
can account for their absence from our markets is the low
state of prices hitherto maintained. Good bred Hogs,

ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, JUNE 26.--There has
been a very fair market to-day, and a considerable quantity
of goods have been sold of every quality. The buyers seem
desirous to purchase, but they want goods at very low
prices. Wool has been steady to-day, and the prevailing
opinion appears to be that it is already at its lowest.
