STATE OF TRADE•

(From the Leeds Mercury.)
LEEDS.---A fair average business was done in the clod]
halls on Saturday last, but on Tuesday the market lax
dull. The stocks on hand in the Hall continue very 101'
and there is no alteration in prices. There has been
e°,a
great number of buyers in the market during the past vi

and in consequence business has been very brisk

HUDDERSFIELD.—There has been rather less business
in the cloth hall to-day. Wools are understood to be con,
siderably dearer in Germany than they were at

money market. Buyers of yarn are acting with greto
caution ; but the spinners having considerable orders
execute, and the stocks on hand being small, prices cantinu.e.
without much alteration. There was rather a thinattendo
