STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, JULY 13.—The demand to-day has
been much less active than et the close of last week; and
the business done has been on a considerably smaller
scale. Prices generally continue firm, but shirtings suit-
able for India were to be had rather lower. The dimi-
nished activity is attributed chiefly to the uneasy state of
the money market. The occurrence within this few days
of two or three failures, has also doubtless had an un-
favourable effect. We regret to learn that one house
has liabilities to a considerable amount, variously stated
at from 12,0001. to 20,0001., in Colne. This amount is
distributed among several different firms. It is hoped
that the estate will realise a handsome dividend, if there
is not ultimately sufficient to pay the creditors in full.
The other failures do not immediately affect this neigh-
bourhood.

ROCHDALE, JULY 12.—We had rather more business
doing in flannels to-day, but no improvement in prices.
There is more inquiry for goods, and a greater willing.
ness to buy. The wool market is much the same as last
week, both as regards price and demand.
HUDDERSFIELD, JULY 13.—The market to-day has
not maintained the character of last week; nevertheless,
we have had a fair amount of business doing. The
American orders for winter goods are nearly completed.
Orders from the German and continental merchants have
been received, and from their tenor we may hope there
will be an increase over those of last season.

LEEDS, JULY 13.—There has been a good business
doing to-day at our cloth halls, and altogether there is
a much better feeling in our markets than we have wit-
nessed for some time past. Prices are rather looking
up, owing to the new wool being so much higher, and
the old stock on hand getting very small.—Manchester
Guardian.

evidence was produced, from which it tmhaatssthoef
prisoner had been for a lo
husband, and that from circumstances
ewhich her female
friends observed in the water closet
having given birth to a child there, which
haeschused her of
adding that the birth was unexpected, and she admitted,

earlier than she imagined it would. Police -constable
Bannister, D 124, deposed that he found the infant buried
several inches under the soil of the water-closet. iall ed
G. Wilson, surgeon to the police of the district, stated
that he was called in when the infant was taken out of
the soil. It was then warm, but dead. Upon a post-
mortem examination he found that it was a full born and
fall developed child, and that it lived some time after its
birth. It was suffocated by the soil getting into its
mouth, throat, and nostrils. A solicitor, who appeared
for the prisoner, cross-examined the witnesses without
shaking in the slightest degree their direct evidence.
The inquest-room having been cleared of strangers, the
j"Ty, after a very lengthened deliberation, returned a
verdict of " Wilful murder" against the parent, who
nearly fainted
u n hearing its announcement. The
Coroner
having made
_ out her committal, she was con-
veyed by In‘peet
or Hunt to Newgate. The unfortunate
woman, who
hitherto is the mother of erto bore an irreproachable character,
five children, all of whom, with the
exception of one, have died.
