STATE OF TRADE.

(From the Leeds Mercury.)
THE TRADE OF LEEDS--A larger quantity of goods
were sold at the Cloth Halls last Saturday than has been
sold on Any one market day during the last two months,
and on Tuesday there was a fair average market, without
any alteration in prices. In the warehouse there has also
been a little more doing, and the opinion is gaining ground
that if prices continue steady, we shall have a good demand
for the spring trade.
BRADFORD MARKET.
—TI ere has been some improve-
ment in the piece market to-day. The lower qualities of
six-quarter wide Merinos have beN'e more sought after, and
in several instances rather better prices have been obtained.
There is considerable business doing in yarn ; we should
say there is an increased demand, and the. prices obtained
are rather higher. Considerable business P..as been trans-
acted in the wool market during the week, at firm prices.
HALIFAX MARKET.—There is no new featvre in the
piece market to-day ; there has been a moderate attend-
ance of buyers, and a moderate share of business has been
transacted with quite firm prices. There is considerable
activity in the wool market, and staplers' stocks being light,
prices have shown a tendency upwards ; spinners, how-
ever, buy with much caution, and, as much as possible, op-
pose high prices, knowing how difficult it would be to ob-
tain a proportionate advance upon yarns.
ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET:There has been veil
little business doing to-day ; the few piece: that have been
sold are at reduced prices. Wool has been steady, and
maintained the price of the previous week.
WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET.—We have lio.d a brisk
demand for deep combing wools. Middle hop!, which
have hitherto been so much neglected, have been re,Ady
sale, and at an advance in price of 10s. per pack, this
week. It is difficult quoting the price of Middle Wether?,
there are so few in the market ; but notwithstanding the
previous advance on them, they would be sold at more mo-
ney. There has been more inquiry for Down and Short
combing wools, without any improvement in prices. A fair
business doing in Blanket wools, and prices have a tendency
to advance. Fine Clothing wools are without alteration
either as to demand or price.
TRADE OF MANCHESTER: Things are generally look-
ing better at Manchester than for some weeks past. Cot-
tons and calicoes have rather improved in price, and are ie
demand. Fustians are better, and checks, gingham, and
coloured goods generally, seem on the move. The spring
orders are coming in, and some of the American agents, it
is suspected, who did not intend doing anything yet, begin
to see that the strikes of the workmen have kept down the
stocks on hand so effectually that they have now but little
time to lose, if they wish the orders they propose to give
should be executed in the season.

LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKET, DECEMBER 24.
The Market has continued steady throughout the week, with a
regular demand from the trade, who have bought freely at V. to
1/Id. advance on Surats, and full prices for all kinds, save new Bowed,
which continue to be offered freely at a further deline of %d. to Vtd.
per lb. The better qualities of the Bahias at auction brought very'
good prices, whilst common and ordinary sold at corresponding low
rates ; the Demeraras and Berbice at moderate prices. Speculators
have taken 1,000 American, 500 Surats, and 100 Bengal ; and es-
porters 160 American, 200 Bengal, and 110 Surats. The import
