STATE OF TRADE

(From the Leeds Mercury.)
TRADE OF LEEDS.—There has been a little more busi-
ness done at the Cloth-halls this week than last, but at
much below remunerating prices. In the warehouses there
has been little or no improvement, although an opinion pretty
generally prevails that we have now seen the worst, and
that goods having fallen as low as in all probability they
will be, an improvement must take place ere long, particu-
larly for the home market, as the drapers generally hold •
light stocks, and the present opportunity is so particularly
favourable to their purchasing to advantage.
fIat,HUDDERSFIELD MARKET.—The market was very
and scarcely anything was done during the day ; all kinds
of goods partook of the depression.
BRADFORD MARKET.—More business was done to-day
and last week in the piece market than for many weeks
past ; but at miserably low prices. The yarn market on-
tinues in the same languid state. In the wool market there
is now a very limited supply of good super hogs and we-
thers ; also fine shafty matchings, which are most in rprest
and, notwithstanding thiS, the market is more dull and flat
than it was last week, and we see no immediate pros-
pect of improvement in prices.
HALIFAX MARKET.—Our piece market has again been
dull in the extreme ; prices continue to fall ; indeed some
manufacturers accept almost any offer for money, in ail
shape that is available. The yarn market is equally bad.
There is a further reduction in the price of wool. blil_die
wethers are now being sold at 11/. to 111. Ios. per paa;
ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET.—We had a very todll
market to-day. Some little business was done in
and finer sorts, and a few low qualities were passed off;
yet very low prices were obtained. The attendance vias
more numerous than usual.
YORK WOOL MARKET.---The supply of wool at this day's
market was very small, but the attendance of buyers was
large. This, however, has caused no improvement in the
price the market being heavy, and last week's quotations
could hardly be obtained. A few lots were left unsold.

LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKET, JUNE 17.
The week opened with rather a moderate demand for Cotten'
and in the middle and lower classes of American, some concession
in price was submitted to, not, however, exceeding 1/8(1. per lb',
whilst all other qualities are stationary, though not in general de'
mand. We have to• day had a pretty good attendance of the trade,
and the market had a greater appearance of steadiness. Brazils are
rather heavy of sale at previous rates. In Pernams a large basil!
has been done, but prices are barely supported. Egyptian is ;
cult of sale, and, with Sea Island, is rather lower. Surat has been
neglected, buyers reserving themselves for the public sale yesterday
which was well attended, fair prices being obtained for those vibe
sold ; nearly three-fourths, however, were withdrawn, the holders
not being prepared to go on at current rates. 550 Babies were
also brought forward, and the whole disposed of. During thew ee
4,000 American have been taken on speculation, and 600 America*
200 Surat, and 30 Bengal for export :
