STATE OF TRADE.

(From the Leeds InteNgencer of Saturday.)
LEEDS.—We have no change to report in the trade of
this district. In the Mixed Cloth Hall, on Tuesday, the
Market was as dull as it has hem for weeks past, but in the
White Cloth Hall rather more sales were made, principally
for dyeing black.
BRADFORD MARKET, on Thursday last, was a more en-
couraging one than we have witnessed for some time.
Though the wool market exhibited the same heaviness
which has characterised it for now many weeks past, there
was more activity in the Yarn and Piece markets than of
late. Prices, however, remained pretty nearly the same as
for some weeks past ; the main improvement being in the
tone of the merchants and manufacturers, who are begin-
ning to be impressed with the conviction that they have
now seen the worst. Let them but continue to manifest the
same caution in their several dealings, and in controlling
their productions as they have lately done, and the general
trade of the country will be restored to its wonted activity
much sooner than it otherwise would.
HECKDIONDWIKE.—The market on Thursday last was
more numerously attended by the merchants and blanket
buyers than it has been for some time past, and consequently
more business was transacted.
HALIFAX MARKET, JUNE 17.—We are glad to state
that the symptoms of improvement which we mentioned this
day week are fully borne out by the proceedings of to-day.
There has been considerably more business done, but the
prices are still exceedingly low.
_ _

HUDDERSFIELD.—We regret to state that the trade of
this district is at present suffering very considerable depres-
sion. A great number of persons are out of employ, and it
is feared that some time will elapse before they again get
into work, as the general mourning will affect the demand for
fancy goods.
SELBY WOOL MARKET, JUNE 19.—The market this
day exhibited a pretty good supply of Wool, and was at-
tended by a greater number of buyers than any of the pre-
ceding markets. There was also a slight improvement in
prices, and brisk buying. The whole supply was nearly
bought up at the following quotations :—Best Hog, from
10Id. to Is. Id. ; mixed, 9d. to 10d. ; and Ewes, Bd. to
9d., per lb.
HOWDEN WOOL MARKET, JUNE 20.—There was a
large supply of Wool at this day's Market, and the attend-
ance of buyers was more numerous and respectable than
on the Gth inst., but in general the disposition was not very
active to effect purchases at advanced prices.
YORK WOOL MARKET, JUNE 22.—There has been a
•

limited supply of Wool to this day's Market, owing, no
doubt, to the prevailing low prices which causes the principal
Flock masters in the Wold districts to hold back their
Wools. We had a fair attendance of buyers from the ma-
nufacturing districts, yet, notwithstanding, prices have had,
if anything, a tendency downwards. Good bred Hogs 10Id.
to 12d. ; half Ho; and Ewe, 9d. to 11d. ; Wethers, 9d. ;
all Ewe, 7d. to 9d., per lb.
ROCHDALE FLANNOL MARKET, JUNE 19.—T0-day
there may be said to have been a little improvement in the
Market ; more goods having been sold, but still at ex-
tremely low prices. The Wool Market has been slack, and
very sales made. So long as it continues to fall in price,
the manufacturers will be desirous of keeping their stocks
low.
