STATE OF' TRADE.

ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, MAY 15.—The
demand for combing wool i 5 stead) but not brisk, and is
limited to the supply of the current requirements of the
manufacturers. Prices are Stationary. Clothing wools
of middle and low qualities are scarce, anti go off readily
at last week's prices.

FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, MAY 13.—Only a
limited business has been cone in foreign' wools this
week, many buyers • having left for the London wool
salt s. and others are waiting to learn the range of prices
there, before m king further purchases.
LEEDS.—There was a little more business done at the
Cloth Halls on Saturday and Tuesday in fine and middle
qualities of cloths, but in low goods there were less sold
than for several weeks past. Prices continue about the
same, and the stocks iu the Cloth Halls are lower than i
usual. There have not been many wholesale buyers n
the town this week, but there have been numerous
drapers from the country. On the whole, a pretty fen*
amount of business has been done in the warehouses, on
comparis,,n with the recent state of business.
BRADFORD MARKET, THURSDAY.— There is less
doing in the wool market than last week. The staplers
stocks are very low and prices firm. The yarn trade Is
steady. The spinners try hard for better prices,
.but
are not able to obtain them. We can see no alteration
in the piece market. A large number of sales were
effected at former prices. The manufacturers are mostly
working to order.
MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EVENING.---We have had
less doing in cloth this week than for the last three or
four previous ones. The market on Tuesday was evi-
dently affected by the very heavy failure in London—an
East India firm—and which stands largely indebted to
many houses in Manchester. To-day an attempt was
made by manufacturt rs to rally prices, but to no effect,
and the market closes very heavily. The silk trade
continues to improve a little, but is still very depressed.
Neither the dyers nor printers get any busier. Yarns
meet ready sale. without change in value.
LEICESTER.—The firmne.ss in our market, as last ye-
ported, still continues; and manufacturers are looking
forward to a good autumn trade; Business in London,
on the whole, has been good, anal though no. large
purchases are made by t .e retailer, ireful goods sell
readily, and no heavy stocks are in hand. Yarns and
wools are in good request.—Leicester Journal.

INTERMENT IN ALGERIA.—A commission has been
named in Algiers to examine the question of inhumation. In het
countries the situation and arrangement of cemeteries exercises $
perceptible influence on public health. It has been proved that the
E,yptians embalmed their dead chiefly for the purpose of preventing,
the deleterious putrefaction of all the animal matter. At the present
day, among many of the South American States, every body is ss"„
milted indiscriminately to the action of quack lime, whereby all Pe':
tileutial emanations are prevented. This measure, which the melt:
cipal authorities of several towns in Algeria have often wished ",
adopt during the great heats, has always caused lively protestation'
on the part pf the families of the deceased. It is to obviate this in-
convenience that the Government has resolved to adopt some deal'.
tive system, to answer all cases and smooth all difficulties.
CHESS FESTIVAL: annual re-union of player
,--
of the noble game of chesS from all parts of England and the Conti'
nent, was held at Wakefield pn Wednesday last. and was attend_
by nearly one hundred amateurs of the game, including, among othe.r
.
crack players, the celebrated St. Amant, from Paris, and M. li
Walker, from London. The tables were arranged in the music-r°°
over the Corn Exchange. St. Amant played with Mr. Walker an.
Mr. Rhodes. The match with the former was an Evans gambit, St.
