THE WOOLLEN TRADE.

(From the Leeds Mercury of this day.)
LEEDS, May 26.—There has been a fair steady business
done in the Cloth-halls this week. Both on Saturday and
on Tuesday the markets were, on the whole, of a rather bet-
ter order, and a fair average quantity of cloth changed owners.
There are regular deliveries taking place at the merchants' ware-
houses;tn

many business
e
to the clothiers are either nearly or fully completed, and as
the merchants have for some time past been careful in giving
direct orders, the goods that aro now preparing and pro-
duced are mostly suggestions of what may be required, than
to actual orders ; hence the Cloth-halls, it is very probable,
may be the mart for their disposal. The mills and manufac-
tories in the adjacent clothing villages are generally in fair
employment ; there is very little cessation in the trade of
thin district, and as the wool purchases at the sales now
proceeding find their way home, we anticipate that the
textile manufactures of the district may probably continue
in moderate activity. The demand for the home market
being over for the spring season, and the shipping trade not
having commenced, there is not consequently much doing in
the warehouses. The trade in most of the warehouses has
been dull and inactive this week.
BRADFORD. —Wool.—There is no change in the monotonous
state of things we have had to report for some time past. The
high prices of wool retard operations. Yarns.—The production
at present is 50 per cent. less than it was at this time last year
and yet the prospect is such that further limitation appears to
be the better course. Pieces—There is no activity, and the
season has not arrived for buying in quantity for the home
trade for the autumn. Stocks are exceedingly low, and there
is every hope that, as the season advances, increased activity
will be induced.
HALIFAX MARKET.—Great caution is exercised in all the se-
veral branches of trade iu our market, and under this influ-
ence business continues very dull. The tendency of long wool,
.with the exception of bright Lincolns, is rather to decline in
price. We can quote no alteration in short wool this week.

BLACK SEA.

A telegraphic despatch received from Constanti-
nople, via Marseilles, says the Descartes quitted
the station off Sebastopol on the 11th. At that
date the fleets were still cruising before that port,
but the fogs were so thick (says the Journal de
Constantinople) that the admiral's ships were com-
pelled to frequently fire guns in order to make
known their respective positions.

SERVIA.

The Press of Vienna, under date of Belgrade,
18th, says—" It is not generally believed that the
Paella of Belgrade demanded from Prince Alexan-
der that he should send away his nephew, but I can
assure you that such is the fact. A rencontro has
just taken place on the Servo-Bulgarian frontier
between the Ser vial's and the Turks. A detachment
of 500 bashi-bazouks having separated themselves
from the main body of the Turks, entered on the
Servian territory, on the side of Gourgoussowacz.
The armed peasants attacked and drove them away
after a very sanguinary struaglei in which many
were killed on both sides. This event has produced
a bad effect among the Servian population, and it
is feared that they will exercise reprisals on the
Turkish territory."

DANUBE.

Accounts have been received by telegraph from
Bucharest to the 21st. Marshal Paskiewitsch had
crossed the Danube near Kalarasch, and had fixed
his head-quarters before Silistria, which had been
closely invested for the last three days.
The Press states from Bucharest that on the
17th the Turkish batteries had destroyed a bridge
constructed by the Russians for the passage of a
part of their army against Silistria, and that the
Turks had defeated the Russians in several other
attempts to cross the Danube.
A letter from Bucharest of the 19th in the Ost-
Deutche-Post mentions that the Russians were pre-
paring to cross the Danube near Kalarasch. As
stated above this operation had been effected on
the 21st, and that Silistria was closely invested.
The Lloyd, of Vienna, informs us from Bucharest
that the Russians on evacuating Lesser Wallachia
were greatly harassed by the Turks, and lost
great numbers of men in different engagements.

The-lst Devon Militia have received orders from the

the 31st inst., at Exeter, for 28 days' training. The re-
giment numbers 1,000 men, and more than 1,300 were
entered on the books, but it is doubtful whether the full
complement will attend, as many of them have enlisted
into the Line.

CUMMERUIAL INTELLIGENOE.

CITY, TWO o'CLOCK.

The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
estimated at 0,000 bales, including 1,000 taken for
export. The market was dull, and prices in favour
of buyers. Railway shares were steady and firm.
The gold receipts had not apparently come into
the Bank return up to the 20th inst., although
they may in part have been available in meeting
the demand for remittance, and even the next re-
turn published will not show the full effect, as a
good deal has yet to be delivered. The demand
for discount accommodation is proved by the in-
creased amount of the other securities ; but a far
more remarkable feature is the reduction in the
Government Securities to the extent of nearly a
"pillion and a quarter sterling. The probability is
that the Bank sold Exchequer-bills, though it may
have disposed of stock likewise, in order to meet
the inereasinc, demand upon it. The amount to
the credit of Government had not much in-
creased, and the balances of private depositors
Were further trenched upon. In the reserve of
notes there was a satisfactory augmentation, and
the circulation of notes was curtailed by the opera-
tion in Government Securities above referred to.

TAITERSALL'S-YESTEEDAT.
THE DERBY. _

Dervish and the Wild Huntsman were the only horses
in good demand. At the commencement 3to 1 was
laid against the former to about 5001. ; at the close 5 to
2 was taken freely. The Huntsman opened at 500 to
30, taken twice, and was afterwards backed for various
sums at 15 and 14 to 1 • 15 was the current price at
the finish.
Andover receded to 9 to 1; and although at first 12
to 1 was refused to be taken about The Hermit, the
latter in the course of the afternoon was backed against
Andover for upwards of 4001. at evens.
At one time 13 and 14 to 1 were laid against Hospo-
dar, but 12 to 1 was the last price taken. A few invest-
ments were made on King Tom, at odds varying from 10
to 15 to 1 ; but towards the conclusion of business, 20 to
1 might have been obtained to 5001., or more, "if wanted."
Two or three " forlorn hope bets" of 40 to lto small sums,
were booked about Autocrat. 25 to 1 was taken to up-
wards of 2001. about the Knight of St. George, and 1,000
to 25 three or four times about Marsyas. 1,000 to
10 several times about Prince Arthur. 1,000 to 15 once,
and 1,000 to 10 five or six times Winkfield and the Duke
of Lancaster coupled.
The room was numerously attended.

STATE OF TRADE.

(Front the Manchester Guardian of this day.) 1(
MANCHESTER, May 26.—During the last few days, there has 1(
been some increase of business in mule and water twist, as `.
well as in shirtings and other goods, suitable for India
and China; but rather lower prices than before
have been submitted to, producers being anxious ;
to obtain orders, especially for goods the supply of
which is greatly increased by the resumption of work at F
reston. There is also rather more doing, by the home
manufacturers, in yarns, chiefly weft, for such cloths as
domestics ; prices having receded to figures which are deemed
pretty safe for the present. But, making the most of those
operations, the market continues extremely dull, and the
decline in prices at large is more marked throughout than
it was last week. Some accumulations are beginning to show
themselves in goods, aud, iu a less degree, in some descrip-
tions of yarn also; as yet, however, there are no stocks
which a little lively buying would Ilot clear away in a few
days. But the perils that hang over Europe are keeping
the continental merchants out of the market for anything
beyond what may be necessary in the way of assortment;
while the stringency of the money market exercises a strong
and general restrictive influence upon transactions.
The advices from Calcutta are favourable for our produc-
tions.
NOTTINGHAM, May 25.—The lace and hosiery trades con-
tinue dull, the former particularly so, especially in the home
department, which is unusually flat for the season. Many
machines have been stopped in consequence of this, and
many of the females usually employed in the tinkle are either
unemployed or are obtaining only half work. Foreign orders
for all articles of hosiery up to the present are more limited
this season than for some years past. Very little business is
doing in cotton yarn or silk.
LEICESTER, May 25.—The home demand continues dull and
unprofitable. There are a few more American orders given
out, but they do not produce au increase of employment to
any extent, and the operatives generally are in a deplorable
condition.

SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 21st contain nothing
of interest. The Gazette asserts that the decree re-

lative to the payment in advance of half a year's
taxes has been favourably received by the commer-
cial classes, and that it caused the rise in the funds
the day before. The last bulletin about Queen
Christiana was that some slight sufferings had pre-
vented her Majesty from sleeping so well as could
have been desired, but that on the whole her state
was nearly the same.
A letter from Galatz of the 11th, in the Ost
Deutsche Post of Vienna, says :--cc The application
made by the merchants of this place to Prince
Paskiewitsch has been crowned with full success.
The agent of the Austrian Lloyds returned yester-
day from Toultscha, where he waited on General
Uschakoff, the adjutant of the Prince, at the head
of a deputation. I can inform you that all that
could be expected was accorded to him,
it and that
he has brought back the good news that hence-
forward will be permitted to vessels to pass
by the mouth of the Sulina into the Black Sea."

ST. PETERSBURG AND ODESSA.—The letters from St.
Petersburg and Odessa contain nothing new, except
that the exchanges at both places were higher. A ease
which has just transpired seems to indicate that specie
payments in Russia are wholly suspended. A certain
amount in bills payable at St. Petersburg was remitted
from London a short time back to an eminent house in
that city, with instructions that they should forward the
proceeds in specie to Odessa, but it appears that they
refused to do so, and would send nothing but paper
money,

DANUBE.

Accounts have been received by telegraph from
Bucharest to the 21st. Marshal Paskiewitsch had
crossed the Danube near Kalarasch, and had fixed
his head-quarters before Silistria, which had been
closely invested for the last three days.
The Press states from Bucharest that on the
17th the Turkish batteries had destroyed a bridge
constructed by the Russians for the passage of a
part of their army against Silistria, and that the
Turks had defeated the Russians in several other
attempts to cross the Danube.

A letter from Bucharest of the 19th in the 03t-
Deutche-Post mentions that the Russians were pre-
paring to cross the Danube near Kalarasch. As
stated above this operation had been effected on
the 21st, and that Silistria was closely invested.
The Lloyd, of Vienna, informs us from Bucharest
that the Russians on evacuating Lesser Wallachia
were greatly harassed by the Turks, and lost
great numbers of men iu different engagements.
