STATE OF TRADE.

(From the Leeds intelligencer of Saturila:,-..)
TRADE OF LEEDS.---We have no particular altei ai ton
to note in the woollen cloth business of this town and neigh-
bourhood. The workmen generally are much better em-
ployed than at this season of the year, but there has not
been quite so much business done in the Cloth Halls on the
last two or three days as previously—a circumstance by no
means uncommon in the month of December. The wool
market, however, continues firm, and there is every reason
to hope that with the turn of this year mercantile affairs
will take an improving turn in this neighbourhood.
BRADFORD MARKET.—The demand for manufactured
goods on Thursday was not so extensive as of late, but
there was no alteration in prices, as the spinners are a.,l;ing
higher prices for yarns, for which there was a fair demand.
In wools there was not much business done, as prices were
somewhat higher, and the stocks were not generally so well
selected as they were some weeks ago, and the spinners
were not disposed to buy beyond their immediate want•
HALIFAX MARKET.—We have nothing fresh to state
regarding the market to-day, There has been about an
average quantity of business done, with little or no variation
in prices. Stocks of lastings have been much reduced of late.

-ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, DEC. s.—To-day there
has been rather a brisk market as compared with those of
the two preceding weeks. A considerable number of
pieces have been sold, but without any advance in price.
Wool has been pretty steady, and has undergone little or
no variation. The demand for noils being rather brisker,
higher prices have been asked, but not generally obtained•
TRADE OF MANctiEsTE.R.—There has been no material
change in the state of trade in this town during tho. last
seven days. Yesterday there was, perhaps, a rather better
demand, both for goods and yarn, and rather more business
doing than on the preceding Tuesday. One or two failures
have been announced within the last two days, but wo be-
lieve not to any serious amount.—Manchester Gleardifin of
Wednesday.

LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKET, DEcEmnER 10.
The Cotton-market has not possessed any decided character this
week there not being any change in prices worth notice. Fair to
fine qualities of American have led the demand, and very good pri-
ces continue to be paid, whilst common and ordinary are, if ail"
thing, more heavy of sale. Pernams being offered freely, and at
comparatively low prices, has induced a greater demand for theme
and a larger extent of business. Surat is evidently increasing in
consumption, but, as yet, this does not influence prices. 1,230 Car-
thagena and 120 Demerara and Berbice were offered at auction y_.es-
terday, but, there being no bidders, the whole were bought in. t;x"
porters have taken 220 Surat and 35 Bengal. The imports are
heavy for the season, and consist of 8,657 from the United States,
8,127 from the Brazils, 253 from Egypt, 1,630 from the West In-
dies, and 1,309 from Bombay; total, 18,988 bales. The sales are--

sumers, and the sales amount to 3,500 bales. We hear of 550 Egyp-

PARED WITH LONDON.
WnNAT.—The highest price of the best Wheat, in Paris, is
25 francs per 11 hectolitre, equal to 38s. 3d. per quarter. The
highest price for the best Essex and Kent Wheat in London,
is 71s. per quarter, showing a difference of 325. 9d. per quar-
ter dearer in London than in Paris, or 854 per cent- ; and
that the same money which in London buys eight bu.,bels 0..
Wheat, will, in Paris, purchase very nearly fifteen bushels or
the best quality.

Paris, ig 51 francs per 159 kilogrammes, which is equal t();
308. 10A-d. per English sack of 280 pounds. The highest'
Price olthe best town-made Flour, in London, is 60s. pet
sack, showing a diference of 295. Id., or 94 percent., dear'
in London than in Paris ; and that the 605., which is in Lon'
don the price of but 280 pounds of Flour, will, in Paris, Ver"
chase 544 pounds of the best Flour.

A tale is now occupying the attention of the gossie
of this town, of the appearance of a most wonderTul
parition that has presented itself to the waiter of an iota
The story goes, that the waiter having fallen asleep in t"..:
" passengers' room," after the departure of a coach, 11".
suddenly awoke by the most dreadful howling of a def;
when, behold ! there stood in the door-way the gigantic
figure of a man, clad in scarlet, with a flowing cloak—a Per;
feet Zamiel—armed with a flaming sword, and who, irta
sepulchral voice announced to the affrighted waiter, °i"
his master would be a corpse within a week. The speci'L';
then civilly made his exit, but whether by the door, in tu
natural way, or through the floor, accompanied by blue 6r°
and brimstone, we know not. The jolly Boniface, is, 11°°/'
ever, in most excellent health, and in all human probr,hifil
will not yet become a subject for Brookes.—lpdtvic
Chronicle.

A JONATHAN.--A letter from a gentleman t
Staten Island says--" You have no doubt heard Of t's
horse which ate oysters. My horse got a bucket of clan't
to-day, cracked three with his teeth, and ate the roes'
leaving the shells."—New York Paper.
