STATE OF THE WOOLLEN TRADE.

(From the Leeds Mercury of Saturday.)

LEEDS, Sept. 2.—We have no change to report in the
state of the woollen cloth market this week. The trade
generally continues steady and good. The markets on
Saturday and Tuesday were of a fair character. The
business done was about an average. The stock of cloth
in the market continues very low. Prices are without
alteration. Several buyers from London, and other
parts of the country, have been in the town during the
week, which has given considerable activity to business
in the warehouses. There is also rather more doing in
the shipping trade at present. Some respectable orders
have been received from Australia by the recent mails,
so that, on the whole, there is a fair average trade doing
in the warehouses for the season.
BRADFORD, Thursday.—The market of this day was
marked by dulness, which was not unaccounted for, as
the wet and boisterous weather, and the strong attrac-
tions of the St. George's Hall festival, no doubt had a
disturbing influence. Wool maintains its price, but is
insufficient to enable the stapler to meet the demands
of the farmer. As yarns showed a downward tendency,
little was done in them, the spinners preferring to work
up former orders, and wait the chances of the market.
HALIFAX, Aug. 27.—With the exception of low
mixtures, for which there is some little inquiry,
the demand for worsted goods is almost at a stand
in our piece-hall. In yarns there is no change, either
as to demand or price ; and the wool market is quiet, at
late quotations.
LEICESTER.-Our market still continues in the same
healthy condition it has been for some time past, and
although yarns have advanced full sixpence per lb. from
their prices twelvemonths since, and workmanship also
above 10 per cent., still there appears no likelihood oflso
have
i a
falling off in demand. The wrought hose branchi likely
solicited an advance of 3d. per dozen, and are yto
obtain it, the hose being in request, and markettheclear
of heavy stocks on hand. There is no alteration in yarns.
Wools are ready sale at a trifling advance. Farmers'
lots are more sought after, and obtain from 375. to 395,
per tod, according to quality.
HUDDERSFIELD, Tuesday.—
We have the same ac-
tivity in our market to-day,
everything new and sea-
sonable having been broughtupfreely' Stocks are
still very low, and there does not seem any
probability
of an increase in the meantime. Prices much the same.
ROCHDALE, Monday.---There was a tolerably good de-
mand for pieces to-day, but fewi.offer offered for sale, on ac-
count of the past week theah
few days. For kerseys highereps; when the mills stop
a ices have been asked
and
obtained, as well as for flannels of a coarser quality.
Wool is firm, with an upward tendency.

TESTIMONIAL TO MR. EVANS, LATE M.P.—A meeting
has just been held, under the presidency of the Arch-
deacon of Derby, for the purpose of inviting to a din-
ner, and presenting with a testimonial, Mr. W. Evans,
who has recently retired from the representation of
North Derby. A day has been named for the dinner
and presentation.
FREEMASONRY.--The brethren of the Tees Lodge,
Stockton, have given a handsome testimonial to a bro-
ther of the lodge, consisting of a case of Masonic
jewels, a Royal arch, and a Pass-Master's jewel,
the latter beautifully mounted with Harrowgate dia-
monds, and containing' on the obverse the - following
inscription, "Presented to Leonard Jackson, Esq.,
P.M., by the bretheren-of the Tees Lodge, in token of
their fraternal regard, September let, 1853.
