STATE OF TRADE.

- - -
FOREIGN WOOL TRADE.—LEEDS, Nov. 13.—We
have no change to report in the foreign wool trade this
ek, either as regards sales or prices.
ENGLISH WOOL MARKET.—LEEDS, NOV. 13.—Sali s
of English wool have not varied materially for the last
few weeks. They are very small ; and confined to ae
supply of the immediate requirements of the manufac-
turers. Prices are nominally the same as last week.
WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET. Nov. 12.—There has
been rather more doing in long wool this week which
has created a firmer feeling with holders, and late crio-
tations have been better sustained. Short wool is not
heavy in stock, and maintains its price, with an average
business doing in it.
TRADE OF LEEDS.—At our Cloth Halls, on Satur-
day, there was about an average quantity of goods sold,
in comparison with the markets of the last six weeks ;
but on Tuesday, there were more goods taken than for
some time ; on the whole, however, the markets rule
dull for the season, and the manufacturers complain
heavily of the want of profit. Prices are steady. Al-
though there have not been many buyers in the town

this Week, more goods have been delivered to the car
riers than has been the case of late.
HECEMONDWILE BLANKET MARKET, Nov. 12.

There has been a good attendance of buyers cn Monday
and to-day, and good samples were readily bought with-
out any alteration in prices.
BRADFORD MARKET, TRURSDAY, Nov. 12.—There
is no alteration in the demand for wool. Stocks are
sufficient and prices extremely firm. Spinners are
working completely up their stocks of wool, thinking
that prices will come down. For clothing wools there is
a fair demand. The yarn market is the same as it has
been for two or three weeks past. The spinners are
corsiderably curtailing their productions. A good deal
of apprehension seems to exist in the spinning trade.
We have, however, this consolation, that to all present
appearances there never were so few black sheep in the
trade, and if the spinners and manufacturers are not just
now making fortunes, there is not that anxiety that we
have seen at this season respecting men's solvency.
There was a fair attendance of merchants in the mar-
ket, and an average business done. A great number of
manufactures are busy manufacturing goods with silk
stripes. Heavy goods, such as moreens, are in firm de-
mand—prices firm. A number of manufacturers have
heavy stocks in dress goods.
TRADE OF MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EVENING —Our
cloth market has become exceedingly irregular, and also,
if anything, less-business doing, though there are plenty
of manufacturers who are disposed to quit stock in the
face of a very large reduction in the produce. Very
good printing cloth is in fair demand, and the printers,
ou the whole, tolerably well employed. Every packet
from the United States brings extensive orders, other-
wise we should have been unusually flat and depressed.
The market, on the whole, closes anything but brisk.
Yarns are also heavy sale, but we think not lower, espe-
cially for first qualities.

Mr. W. Hodges, of the Western Circuit, has been
appointed to succeed the late Mr. W. Bond as Recorder
of the borough of Poole.— Poolelierald.
WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, FRIDAY.--The arrivals
of wheat and beans are large, and there is a fair quantity
of barley. There is a steady demand for wheat at a
decline of ls. to 2s. per qr. , at this reduction there is no
disposition evinced to press sales, and the market closes
firm. The late great reduction in the value of barley
causes more demand, and last week's rates are main-
tained. Oats and shelling are both rather lower. Beans
remain as last stated.
BRIST3L SUGAR-MARKET, Nov. 13.—Our raw sugar
market is very dull, and prices have still rather a down-
ward tendency. The business of the week has been ex-
tremely limited for all descriptions of sugar. Raw con-
tinue in fair demand, and nearly all the stocks are in
second hands.
FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE LONDON AND BIEMING-
RAN RAILWAY.—On Friday morning, about eight o'clock,
an accident which terminated fatally occurred near the
Camden-town station of the above line, to Charles Sea,
