THE WOOLLEN TRADE.

lIALIFAL—There was a slight re-action in our market to-
day for the better; more business doing, and prices, if any
thing, more firm ; still the make exceeds the demand. In
yarns no alteration in value. Wool as last reported, and but
little doing.
LEEDS.—There has been a very considerable degree of
briskness in all departments of the trade to-day : nevertheless
we did not hear that prices had in any case improved. There
is evidently a large decrease in stock on hand, which must, it
is evident, operate on prices ere long.
HUDDERSFIELD.—There was not so much doing in plain
goods to-dav as for the last few weeks, though a tolerable
quantity of goods were cleared out of the hall. The fancy
trade was rather better, a good business having been done.—
Manchester Guardian.

FATAL ACCIDENT.—As the Yeovil Mail was
proceeding downwards on the night of the 13th inst., when
between Basingstoke and Andover, the horses were found to
be going at a rapid rate. Having arrived at the place to
change, it was seen that there was no coachman, and that the
horses had drawn the coach for the last ren miles without a
driver. It appears that the coachman was thrown from the
box, and was killed, leaving a wife and an infant family to de-
plore his untimely fate. It is supposed that the poor fellow,
whose name was Gambol, was deprived of sensation and the
power of retaining his seat, by the intense cold of that night.
He was picked up a stiffened corpse by his brother, who was
returning with another mail.'--Bath Herald.
