STATE OF TRADE.
ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, MAY B.—We have
no any alterati,,n to nport in the,e markets this week.
There has been a moderate amount of sales at stationary
prices.

FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, MAY B.—Sales to
about the same txtent as last week have been effected,
and at similar rates.

LEEDS.—There was a little more business done at the
Cl.th Halls on S:qurday, but on Tuesday the market
was dull. The stocks on hand are much lower than
they were in March, and prices remain firm. In the
warehouses there has been a little more business done
this week than for some time past ; there is also more
tb.ing in the way of preparation by the ft,rt ign howeg
for the fall trade to America. On the whole, the pros-
pects are much brighter thin was expected a few weeks
ago.

lIECKMONDWIRE BLANKET MARKET, MAY 7.—W.,0
have had a good attendance of buyers this week,
and
more business transacted, being principally for the home
trade; there is not much alteration in prices. Noils and
shorts still continue very scarce and dear.
BRADFORD MARKET, MAY 7.—For combing wools the
demand is much better. Prices are firm. There seeing
a di.!,positii-•ri in the spinners to buy more freely. In the
Yarn Market business was brisk. stocks are- very low,.
and the spinners are generally working to order, arid
prices have an upward tendency. There was a good
attendance of merchants, and they were n, t merely
lookers on, for a great number of pieces changed hands,
and a great number of orders were received for the,
autumn trade. The three branches of trade in Bradford
market certainly exhibit a more healthy tone.
MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EVENING.—The commer-
cial news from India, &c., has not had any sensible effect
on our market either for cloth or twist. There is greet
complaint made about the home trade, which is very
dull. Domestics, that is, heavy cloth, aro unusually
depressed. Neither the dyers nor printers get any busier.
There is a slight improvement in the silk trade, but the
weavers on the average have not more than half employ-
ment. Twist is without change, with a moderate busi-
ness doing.

NOTTINCHAM.—The prir&pal manufacture of the
hosiery trade, namely, wrought cotton hose, keeps de-
clining. The cut-up branch is rather better than the
wrought departments. The cotton glove trade still keep
in a tolerable state. Tie silk glove trade has so far de-
clined that the hosiers give out their materials with s
very sparing hand. The drawer, pantaloon, and shirt
branch has a shade further improved. The silk hove
trade is,. if anything, further declining, silk stockings
being almost out of fashion. The fancy lace-trade is ie
general considered worse. The cotton warp lace trade
is still very much depressed, and few of the hands have
more than half employment. The silk blonde branch is
considerably better, that is, what remnant is left of this
once extensi►e manufacture.—/Vottingham Review.
LEICESTER.—Although there is not much more doing
in the warehouses, there is a more healthy tone given to
business; and the prevailing -opinion is, that the point
of depression is past. Manufacturers have produced
with caution, and hence stocks are comparatively light•
A fair exp ,rt trade has been dono in fancy hosiery and gloves, though but a limited one for stockings. Yarns
are in fair demand, and spinners hint at a rise in prices.
There is more doir,g is w,,015, and prices rule if anything
a shade higher.—Leicester Journal of yesterday.
THE IRON TRADE IN STAFFoRDSHIRSL—BIRMINCI"
11-181, WEDNESDAY EVENING.—The circulars for the
month of Msy have been issued to the trade from the
principal houses, including those of Messrs. Williams,
Thornecroft, Barrows, Badger, and others, and they an-
nounce that no reduction of the prices of last quarter-
day has taken place, nor is any contemplated.

ALARMING FIRE IN TUE CORNWALL-ROAD, LAATRETIT.
—Saturday morning, shortly after midnight, a fire of a serious
character broke out upon the premises numbered 109, in the
Cornwall-road, Lambeth, occupied by Mr. C. Davis, boot and
shoemaker. At the time of the outbreak thermwere six fa-
milies sleeping in the several apartments of the building, and
the discovery was mada by one of them, who experienced
a most suffocating sensation from smoke and flame. In the
course of a few moments, the poor creature who was thee
suddenly awakened appeared at the first floor window, and
at that critical juncture Inspector Carter came up, attended
by constable L 133. The officers entered the premises, erd
the inspector, in rushing up stairs, had his hand slightly
burned, in consequence of some one forcing the door, and
causing a considerable draught of sir to enter the premises.
Fortunately, the police maintained their ground, and the re-
sult was that all the parties were rescued. The flames mean-
tune continued to extend, until the whole premises, from the
basement to the roof, were burned through, and the whole Of
the contents destroyed. Engines from the several stations of
the fire brigade, and from the \Vest of England and the
County Fire-offices, were very speedily upon the spot, and
the mains of the Lambeth Water-works yielding an abun-
dant supply of water, the flames were soon subdued, and the
adjoining property saved. The fire, however, extended to the
pro-111,es of Mr. Collins, the Eight Bells, 108, in the road,
which were considerably injured by the fire and water. BY
thpeeidrindguttihese
efforts of the firemen.,
dint of great perseverance, the flames were subdued by half-
past one o'clock. How the fire origieated,„cooud. Tu e
