STATE OF TRADE.

(From the Leeds Intelliyencer of Saturday.)

TRADE OF LEEDS.—Business yet continues very flat
in this town and neighbourhood, merchants and others not
wishing to enter into extensive engagements until the
money market becomes more easy and settled. There was,
however, a slight improvement in the market on Saturday,
and on Tuesday it was thought tLat more sales were ef-
fected than on a market day fir a month Fast ; yet the ag-
gregate amount was not large, and there was no improve-
ment in prices.
BRADFORD MARKET.—The demand for piece goods on
Thursday was again extremely dull, and the yarn market
shared the depression, neither merchants nor manufactu-
rers evincing any disposition to purchase,beyend their im-
mediate wants,
,for assortment, or to keep their hands in
partial employment. The wool market, too, was again in
a languid state, and prices may be quoted lower, the
spinners only buying in small quantities, and of particular
sorts.

Halifax Market, on Saturday, was more brisk than for
some weeks past, especially in the demand for lastings,
which, however, suffered a reduction in price.
Huddersfield Market, on Tuesday, was very flat. The
number of buyers who attended were comparatively few;
and it was only in cases where reduced prices were submit-
ted to that sales to any extent were made.
WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET.—WO cannot report any
relief to the pressure on the trade noted last week. There
is very little business doing, and prices for all qualities con-
tinue to decline.

ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, MAY 8.--
To-day being what is called Little Monday not many
buyers have been in the market, and the business clone is
smaller than that of last week. Those who have sold have
been obliged to take extremely low prices. Wool has
given way a little, as compared with the prices of the pre-
vious Monday.
ROCHDALE.—The present unfortunate state of trade has
made a very perceptible difference here, as compared with
the spring of last year. Then great preparations were
making for the erection of new buildings of various de-
scriptions, and artisans and mechanics were so busily em-
ployed that it was almost impossible to procure their ser-
vices for one little job. Now, very few buildings are in
progress ; and amongst those few not one mill or factory
which was not commenced last summer.
BLACKBURN.—There is but little alteration in the state
of trade here since last week. About Friday some sales
were made, but at very low prices, and upon the whole we
may perhaps say that things are rather flatter.—Blackburn

OLDIIAIT.—The batting trade, at Oldham, partakes of
the general depression, but not to a greater extent than
might have been anticipated.

LIVE.RPOOL COTTON-MARKET, MAY 13.

The demand for Cotton has been very limited throughout the
week, while the anxiety to effect sales has been daily more apparent,
and the market closes with great heaviness at a decline of %d. per
lb. generally in American, and in some instances td. per lb. has
been subdritted to. Egyptian continues to be neglected. In
Pernam is in fair demand at a decline of hid. per lb. ; Bahia
and Maranharn are heavy of sale at a similar reduction in price.
Surat is very unsaleable, and in most cases I,id. per lb. lower this
week. ;lie sales of the week amount to 13,770 bales, including
500 American on speculation, and 1,500 Arnetican, 30 Pernam,
and 25 Surat for export:—

The market to-day has been extremely depressed, and the sales
made at snore unsatisfactory prices than any yet quoted ; but as
these are somewhat irregular, the decline cannot be stated at more
than V. on yesterday's prices, at which reduction buyers are very
reluctant purchasers, and the market closes heavily. The day's
bus'ness amounts to 3,000 bags, of which 800 are on speculation,
and 200 for export

• YEAST, A SPECIFIC.—The follov7ing account
appears in the Derby Reporter :—The Rev. Mr. Cart-
wright has discovered the good effects of administering yeast
in putrid sore throats, fevers, &c.—" I went to reside at
Brampton, a very populous village near Chesterfield. I had
not been there many months before a putrid fever broke out
among us, and finding by far the greater number of my pa-
rishioners much too poor to afford theinselves medical assist-
ance I undertook, by the help of such books on the subject of
medicine as were in my possession, to prescribe for them.
I early attended a boy about fourteen years of are, who was
attacked by this fever; he bad not been ill may days before
the symptoms were unequivocally putrid ; I then administered
bark, wine, and such other remedies as my books directed ;
my exertions, however, were of no avail, his disorder grew
every day more untractable arid malignant, so that I was in
expectation of his dissolution. Being under the absolute ne-
cessity of'taking a journey, before I set off I went to see him,
as I thought, for the last time, and I prepared his parents for
the event of his death, which I considered us inevitable ; re-
conciling them in the best manner I was able to a loss which
I knew they would feel severely. While I was in conversa-

tion on this distressing subject with his mother I observed in a
corner of the room a small tub of wort working. The sight
brought to my recollection an experiment I had somewhere
met with a piece of putrid meat being made sweet by suspend-
ing it over a tub of wort in the act of fermentation. The idea
instantly flashed into my mind that the yeast might correct the
putrid nature of this disease ; and I instantly gave him two
large spoonsful, telling the mother if she found her son bitter
to repeat this dose every three hours. I then set out on my
journey. On my return after a few days I anxiously enquired
about the boy, and was informed he had recovered ; I could
not repress my curiosity, though I was greatly fatigued with
my journey, mid night was coming on, I went directly to
where he lived, which was three miles off in a wild part of the
moors. The boy himself opened the door, looked surcrisingly
well, and told me that he felt better from the instant he took

the ;feast." The Rey. gentleman subsequently repeated the
experiment with decided success in numerous cases.
On Thursday night, about 11 o'clock, as police
constable Jones, 77 S, was on daty in Albany-street, Regent's
Park, he met two notorious burglars, and suspecting that they
were in pursuit of their nefarious avocation, he stopped them,
and asked some questions about a watch v.hich ono of them
"had in his possession, and which. had a few nights previous
been stolen from a bons.: in that neighbourhood. They be-
came exceedingly insolent, and upon the constable intimating
that he must take them to the station house, thoy both f'dl
upon him, knocked him down, and beat and kicktd him till he
was quite senseless. He was found some time afterwards wel-
tering in his blood, his eyes nearly knocked cut, and his face
horribly mutilated and disfigured. He was immediately coo-
veyed to the Middlesex Hospital, where he remains in a very
dangerous state.
