STATE OF TRADE.

(From the Leeds Mercury.)
TRADE OF LEEDS.—We scarcely ever saw more goods sold
at the Cloth Halls on one day than on Saturday last ; on
Tuesday, in consequence of the stocks being reduced so low,
there was less dose ; the demand, nevertheless, continues
lively. Business has not been quite so brisk in the warehouses
this week as for tbo-last few weeks past ; there is, however,
a very good demand for winter goods.
HUDDERSFIELD MARKET.— A considerable business was done
in almost every description of heavy woollens. Low fancy
woollens realize remunerating prices, but plains have not yet
risen in proportion.
BRADFORD MARKET.—The result of, to-day's Piece Market
does not warrant any material alteration from our last week's
report, unless that there has been rather less business done
to-day. In the Yarn Maaket there has been an average amount
of business done to-day, and the demand continues good; but
there does not appear to be that eagerness to purchase largely
which prevailed a short time ago. Manufacturers find it diffi-
cult to sell eoods without loss at the present prices of yarns.
There has been less business doing in the Wool Market during
the last week. Buyers are decidedly indisposed to give late
latices, and wool is certainly easier to purchase.
ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET.—To-day we bad a nume-
rous attendance at our market, and in some sorts considerable
business was effected. Those pieces worth about 13d. per
yar3 or under, were quickly bought up, but any sort above
that price was seldom inquired for. Grey and dyed goods
went off freely. Prices continue steady.
TRADE OF MANCIIESTER.—We have had an improved de-
mand for goods this week ; and an advance has been obtained
both upon power and hand-loom cloth. Many descriptions
of grey cloth are extremely scarce in the market, and buyers
are quite willing to contract for the delivery of such goods
for one or two months, at an increased price. Yarns are bet-
ter to sell and somewhat .higher; and the general aspect' of
business, notwithstanding the unfavourable weather, is en-
couraging.
YORK WooL MARKET.—The day being rather unfavour-
able, the show of wool in the market was not very large ; but
part being in the warehouses, a tolerable business was done.
Prices are firm, and very little alteration can be observed.

WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET._-We have to report another
flat week in long wool, and buyers can come to market on
rather better terms. We have a little more doing in short
wool, and particularly in the finer sorts, which have been so
long neglected.
• DONCASTER WOOL Etta..--At our great annual fair, this
day, there was, as usual, a very large quantity of wool pitched
for sale, from 900 to 1,000 sheets. Sellers were anxious to
sustain former prices, and buyers equally as anxious for a
reduction ; notwithstanding, there was a good market, and the
principal part was disposed of at a reduction of 6d. to Is. per
stone. The following are about the terms of this day's fair,
though some samples fetched as high as from. 20s. to 235, per
stone : —hog, Ins.

POLAND.—The National Warsaw,Warsaw, pulatiahea a letter from
placearsaw that cit , detailing an apparently trig oecurrence which' lately took
in y, in the cournuf which was betrayed the apprehension
which the Russian nm;esoment still entertains from revolutionary de.
monstraticx, or insignia. The letter in question states that M. Bressnier,
• ;lie Yfench Consul in that city, was taking an airiv, ip the environs in
his carriage, drawn by horses harnessed in the Polish style, whets after
him came at full gallop a carriage drawls by four horses in the Russian
fashion, in which was 1‘ usr.Wl General Officer. The road was suffl-
cientl.X tho passage of one by the other carriage, but the
ooachman called upon the Frenchman (or Pole more
pobably) with gesticulations to make way for him, which the other de,
dined doing. In consequence the Russian determined on 4ii.j.44 the
lead, which he did with so much rudeness (brutal tile) thrltrt pe j7senehman
