STATE OF TRADE.
MANCHESTER, TUESDAY, JAN. s.—Although
little change in the market this week—the demand Osio
tinning extremely languid—buyers have shown a littbs
more disposition to accede to the terms demanded by
spinners and manufacturers. The business done, Or
ever, is small in amount, and in goods, especially, c°„o
fined to the supply of immediate wants. We d°4l4
hear anything new in reference to the working an,.
time; but the stoppage of the mills for a week or
days at Christmas was very genet al.
ROCHDALE, AIoNDAY, JAN. 4.—There has been
quiet market to-day, with but a limited demand 1,4
goods. Very little was done in wool, as the dealers
asking higher prices, and the manufacturer cannot get
proportionate advance upon his goods. Next 2.1012'
will be the new market.
al
HALIFAX, SATURDAY, JAN. 2. h The new year --Le
opened with much of the dulness that characterised utPf
latter markets of its predecessor ; and it is genen,
thought that the continually advancing prices of Ka
sions tend to protract to a greater distance the period °e
a revival. But few pieces have changed hands in
..%A
hall to-day, and prices remain unimproved. The return
of open weather has brought the Continental boYee;
into the yarn market, for a few jobs, at below cost ref,
but, in other respects, the trade continues without a3ers
ation. Owing to the stimulus of the late advance, ab?,.
wool has been more in demand, and the increased 101"
has been obtained ; but the trade is by no means brisk*.
HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY, JAN. s.—There has Veit,
considerable business done to-day in light goods, for 7,4
spring trades. Good blues continue in demand, °—
several orders have been given for broads of that colour
to our manufacturers.
a• Oda
LEEDS, TUESDAY, JAN. 4.—Although very fevr.-
changed hands at our cloth-halls to-day, the ieltrn°°,ed
,' to
tone of the market is not impaired ; since, accort."7 11
report, some extensive orders for low cloths have bee
received, which cannot but act favourably on the state
of trade.

A YOUTH DROWNED IN THE SIGHT OF HO
FRlENDS.—Wednesday an inquest was held by Mr. W.
Carter, at the Bull Inn, Barnes, Surrey, on the body 0'
William Vaughan, aged sixteen. On Thursday morning
he was on board a barge moored off Barnes, and
.r„for
amusement had been washing the deck with a mop. tie
dipped the last dip to finish his work, but the wog,
slipped from his hand, and in trying to regain the hold
of it he overbalanced himself and fell into the river'
Unfortunately there was no boat attached to the barge',
but there was a pair of sculls, which they threw towaras
him. From the force of the tide and his powerless state
he could not reach them, and he was drowned. The
body was not found for two days afterwards. Verdict'.
"Accidentally drowned."
MELANCHOLY DEATH OF A COLLECTOR.—AbOat
a quarter past eleven o'clock on Thursday last, as N°'
2 police officer of the C division, was on duty in the
neighbourhood of Port-street, a respectably-dressed 03412
accosted him, stating that he had been robbed of 571-
,
a female, and requesting that he (the officer) would g°
with him in search of her. Platt went with him to the
extent of his beat, and then told him that he could not
proceed further without the consent of his inspector,
telling him also to go to the station and report his 100
there. About twelve o'clock he saw him again in Fie-
cadilly, and asked whether he (Platt) could do anything
else for him, to which the person replied in the negatic,of
and said something about making away with himseth
They then parted, and the officer saw no more of hint
that night. The next morning, about half-past eight
o'clock, as a boatman, named Samnel Lamb, in the env
ploy of Messrs. Veevers, carriers, was passing along the
Rochdale Canal in his boat, he saw the body of a marl
in the canal, at the bottom of Minshull-street. It 110 s
immediately taken out, and a clue was at once obtain";
as to his identity, by the discovery of some cards, found
in a card case in his pocket, bearing the addresil
" Thomas Fothergill, hop and vinegar merchant, sp`i
dealer in foreign cigars." Upon further inquiry, it wee,
ascertained that his name was James Billington, an
that he was a collector in the employ of Mr. Fothnr:
gill. The officer Platt, on viewing the body, identified
it as being that of the person who had addressed him,
as above stated, on the previous evening.—Manchater
Guardian.
