STATE OF TRADE.

MANCTIESTER.—Since the arrival of the Britannia
steamer, and the check which the accounts by her have
given to the cotton speculation, our market has been
quiet, but without any change in prices.
BRADFORD.—WO(I..—This branch of the trade is
still inactive. The spinners evince no disposition to
buy, except on the narrowest scale possible. In prices
we do Not hear of any change. Yarns.—The business
doing to-day is an average of several Reeks past ; but
still the prices are anything but profitable to the spin-
ners, who complain of the great disproportion between
the price of wool and the current rate for yarns!
Pieces.—There is hardly so much business doing as in
the beginning of the month just ended ; yet there is no
great complaining. Chcqued Orleans and Coburgs are
flatter ; Orleans and plain Paramattas more inquired
for, and steady in prices.
HUDDERSFIELD.—Our market on Tuesday was with-
out animation ; indeed, it may be said to be flatter than
last week. Some fancy cloth manufacturers have re-
ceived orders, but not to the extent they bad reason to
anticipate. Wools are much the same in price, but sales
cannot be made, although they are up in the London
markets. In the warehouses there is not much doing.
LEEDS.—We have no better account to give of Tues-
day's market than of preceding ones. The demand
continues slack, and profits are very small on all the
business actually done.
LEICESTER.—A steady business continues doing in
the warehouses ; the demand for wrought hose is espe-
cially good. Worsted yarns and wools are without alte-
ration. Owing to the rise in cotton wools, notice of an
advance of one shilling per bundle on cotton yarn has
been given by some of the spinners, to take place frem
the Ist of the month.

NOTTINGHAM. LACE.— The market continues in
nearly the same state as last week, both in demand and
price. Plain nets are tolerably active :
quillings of
some kinds have been inquired about more than for
some weeks past ; lever fancies, good patterns, and suit-
able widths, have been selling to a moderate extent.
The best platts are fair sale. Yarns are rather more
freely supplied ; prices remained much as they were.
Advances in the selling value of lace goods can scarcely
be anticipated this side of Christmas ; though, from
the present favourable state of stocks, we do not antici-
pate any reduction in the interval, and. with the new
year our goods are not unlikely further to improve in
price. Hosiery Trade.—We are very much gratified to
learn, that by the arrival of the steam-packet Britannia,
very large orders have arrived in this town fur almost
every description of hosiery goods.

CATTLE LurouTs.--September 25th, ex Hamburgh
from Hamburgh, 30 oxen, 6 calves, and 18 pigs; 28th,

ex Queen of Scotland, 73 oxen and 36 pigs.—Hull
Airertiser.

EXTENSIVE FIRE AT WAUDDY.—We extremely
regret to have to record this. week one of the
most extensive conflagrations of farm property which
has taken place in the East Riding of Yorkshire for very
many years. The sufferer is Mr. James Watson, of
Waudby, about ten miles to the west of Hull, and four
east from South Cave, a gentleman who has long been
known throughout England and on the Continent, for
the superior character of his horned cattle and sheep.
There appears to be not the slightest doubt that this
great destruction of property is the work of an incen-
diary. Fourteen stacks, containing the whole of the
wheat and hay, and nearly the entire crops of an exten-
sive farm, were enveloped and surrounded by roaring
flames. The large oat stack had been removed, and the
further progress of the fire in that direction arrested. It
was between three and four o'clock when the fire might
be said to be thoroughly mastered, and the fear of its
further extension at an end, but twelve hours afterwards,
thick columns of smoke were s.tillaseending, and the re-
mainder of the hay stack occasionally burst out into
flames, and that of the wheat was a dense mass of in-
tense red-hot fire, from which in places incessant flames
arose. It was affecting to loolt upon the destruction of
so much valuable food for mar, and provender for cattle.
The loss in money value is, we believe, about 2,0001.,
but this is far from being the total mischief.—Leeds In-
telligencer.
