STATE OF TRADE.

(Front the Manchester Guardian of yesterday.)
MANCHESTER, Nov. I.—ln our own market we had a
more cheerful tone yesterday, occasioned by greater ease
in the money market, and by an apparent probability of
the resumption of negotiations on the Russo-Turkish
question. The sales of the day have been very small,
but prices are well sustained by the absence of all pres-
sure to effect sales. The " turn-out" at Preston and
Wigan exhibits an appearance of unabated obstinacy.
ROCHDALE, Oct. 29.—We have had an extremely dull
market, with very little business doing. The merchants
are unwilling to purchase only at reduced prices. There
is a decided fall in the price of wool, varying from lid.
to 2d. per lb., and the manufacturers buy for immediate
use only. In the warehouses the country orders are
much more limited than is usual in the beginning of No-
vember.

HUDDERSFIELD, Nov. I.—Business in the market to-
day is almost at a stand. There has been a very quiet
day. With the exception of a few deliveries to order,
very little has been done in either the Cloth-hall or the
manufacturers' shops. The wool trade has also been
flat. In London the finer qualities of wool are fully
per lb. cheaper ; while the lower, or coarser quali-
ties, scarcely find purchasers.

ESCAPE OF Two PRISONERS.—ShortIy before the
closing of the Marylebone police court on Monday,
Addey, the jailer, went into one of the cells to bring out
. e
a prisoner, when he found that two men who bad b
loocked up, one of them charged with highway rof! been
g
and another with felony, had made their escape
perforated, and
the ceiling of the cell was an iron plate
fastened by screws, which had by
some
afforded for the
means or other
been drawn out. Ait aperture wasthus
egress of the fugitives one of whom left behind him a coat,
and the other a jacket. They must have made their
way over the roof, and alighted in Paddington-street,
One prisoner was an associate of Hackett, the burglar.
who some time ago escaped from a cell at the Marl-
borough Police-court.
T On Tuesday Mr. G. S. Brent
CORONER'S INQUES-s-
-held an inquest at Islington,
touching
infant three weeks Mgr. John
death of an
old, the son of r. Canham
Read, of Rydon Cottage, Rydon-street. The child being
slightly "chafed " a lotion was compounded for it, at
Mr. Atrill's, 1, South-street, New North-road, and a
prescription for Mr. Read was also sent home at the
same time. There being no labels on the medicines, the
child's grandmother gave it one of the powders, thinking
it was a cooling medicine ; it however caused the child's
death. After a long inquiry the jury returned the fol-
lowing verdict—" That the deceased's death was caused
by taking the poisonous powder in mistake, and that
great blame was attributable to the druggist who sent
the powder for not using sufficient caution in not pro-
perly labelling it."
COLLISION AT SEA.—The schooner Emerald Isle, from
London to Liverpool, was run into on Sunday night by
a brig, name unknown, painted black, and apparently a
Danish vessel, which bore on her course, never stopping
to render assistance. The Emerald Isle sank in about
half an hour, the crew escaping in the boats ; and, after
beating about for 17 hours without food or water,
landed safely at Laxy, Isle of Man.
