STATE OF TRADE.

FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, FEB. s.—Most de.
scriptions of foreign wool have been in fair demand
during the past week, and late quotations firmly sup-
ported.
ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, FEB. s.—The 311101111 t 01
sales of combing and clothing wool this week have not
been large, and have been confined to a supply of the
present wants of the manufacturers, whose stocks of the
raw material are light. Price.; are stationary at last
week's quotations.
WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, FEB. s.—The heavi-
ness noted in our last report still hangs over this branch
of trade. The difficulty in buying from the grower to
meet present rates here, prevents any pressure on the
market, and wool is held at former rates.
LEEDS.—There has been, both on Saturday and Tues-
day, about the same quantity of goods sold as during the
Est few welts, but almost entirely in low qualities'
hilst fine aid middle cloths are scarcely inquired for.
Prices are without any alteration, and stocks aro not
higher than usual at this season. There have been sou-
nd of the larger London buyers in the town during the
week, but they have purchased very sparirgly, and busi-
ness has in consequence been dull in the warehouses.
Although the foreign houses are doing less than usual
at this period, they are improving, and as corn is getting
lower in price, the general impression is that the pros-
pect of trade in woollens is much brighter than it has
been for some time.
BRADFORD, THURSDAY, FEB. 4.—There is DO it"
creased demand for combing wool, and the staplers do
not push sales on account of the difficulty of supplying
their warehouses at present prices, which are in the sales
to spinners with difficulty maintained. Clothing wools are
in tolerable request. The dullness in the yarn market'
which we have noticed for some time, remains, and the
spinners still continue to stint their production to the low'
est point. There is a little more business done by.the
export houses, but nothing to relieve the trade. Prices
are stationary. Silk weft and warp has now become so
article of considerable consumption in our figure trade,
ar.d we hear from a good quarter that the demand for,
silk is likely to increase much. In low Orleans and
Cobourgs there is a steady business doing, but at very
unsatisfactory prices.
MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EVENING.—We have no
signs of improvement in price or demand for either
i
goods or yarns ; even the recent advance in Liverre'
has failed to give the trade the least impetus. Things
must be pronounced as very depressed ; in fact, beyond
all previous experience. If sales must be made, it is ailA
terms even below the nominal rates of the day, and
there is no reasonable sign of au early improvement. ,
LEICESTER.—The same dullness which we reported
last week still prevails. Cotton goods are making t°
order by those who had laid in the material previous ta
the late advances. No shipping orders of consequence
are at present given out. Wools and yarns reanaia
without alteration.

NoTriNcatAm.—A few buyers have made their ar
pearance, but have not purchased very freely. If tor
thing, coarse plain nets are rather more in request than
last week. Cloth-work edgings are gradually improving
in design, and making their way into demand. Priced
of all goods remain steady. The condition of the
stocking trade in this vicinity is certainly not worse,
and in the cut-up branch is somewhat better.—Notting.

GIGANTIC BRIDGES.—The Emperor of Austria'
just ordered the erection of a suspension-bridge over the large,
(combined) arm of the Danube, near Vienna, being alot
the breadth of the Thames at Woolwich. As, howeve,,,,
several small islands and sandbanks intersect this stream or
water, pillars, with stupendous freestone and granite found°.
tioms, will be erected thereon. This bridge will be a velid
essential complement of the great Austrian north line, a°
an ornament to Vienna and its environs. Mr. Schrin, whose
superior skill has been attested by the erection of the susPen;
sion-bridge over the ,loldau at Prague, is the architect?
this new structure. The estimated cost, to be borne by the
public purse is 5,500,000 florins—equivalent to 1,000,0 t)%
English sterling value. Another bridge of Fimilar dimenslo.rl^
will be that over the Vistula, on the Prussian Eastern-L.'n.:
from Berlin to Konigsberg. It will be the most extenfilf;
bridge structure in the world,—that over the Lagune°4o
Venice, not excepted. The estimated cost will be 4,000,'
dollars—equalling, as well, 1,000,0001. of English current'

PLAINTS CURED BY HOLLOWAY'S PlLLS.—Perhaps half the hlllnB
race suffer from disorders of tho liver ; few are aware that they
mom,,
hour under billoas or liver complaints, consequently often take
3c
tine that is injurious, and so go on until past all cure. From Volt
perience it is known that no remedy Wag ever found to act so protavi
upon the liver and stomach as Holloway's celebrated PilLs, as
their means even persons of shattered constitutions are soon res." or
to perfect health. Delicate females, either at the turn of lio,
when approaching to womanhood, may derive from their use the re
f
quired benefit, the liver at such periods being at fault.—So''
