STATE OF TRADE.

FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, JAN. 16.—The improved
demand noticed in our last report has continued throughout
the present week, and prices have also been more firmly sup-
ported.
ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, JAN. 16.—There is a
feeling of greater confidence in these markets, and therefore
the sales have been rather more extensive, and prices are
firm at last week's quotations.
WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, JAN. 16. We have had
rather more doing, in both long and short wool this week,
than for several previous ones, and rather improved rates;
but the difficult position of consumers to make a profit, even
at the late reduced rates, prevents them operating so largely
as might have been expected after so long a holding off.
LEEDS.—The markets at our Cloth halls have not been so
brisk, either on Saturday or Tuesday, as during the week
previous. There was, nevertheless, a pretty good market for
low goods, but the fine and middling qualities are not in much
demand. Prices are firm, and from the great caution exer-
cised by the manufacturers since October, there is less than
the usual quantity of goods in their hands at this period, ,
compared with former seasons. There has been a little im-
provement in business in the warehouses during the week.
BRADFORD MARKET, THURSDAY.—The demand for wool
is somewhat retarded by the prices sought by the stapler, and
as no corresponding advance can be realised on yarns, it will
tend to check the present consumption. Noils and brakes
are eagerly sought after, and, owing to the small quantity
making, the price has an upward tendency. There is more
confidence manifested among the buyers of yarns, and an in-
creased business has been done, yet there is no im-
provement in price to induce the spinners to increase the pro-
duction. There is an average business doing in both heavy
and dress goods; and the cheap rate at which they have been
produced appears to have told favourably at Leipsic fair,
where the demand has been rather animated.

MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EVENING.—The increasing un-
certainty as to the policy to be pursued by Sir Robert Peel
has had the effect since Tuesday, of checking the healthful
state of the cloth market on that day, and allkinds of goods
are to be had lower to-day than on Tuesday. All parties
seem disposed to wait the development of the plans of the
Premier before again commencing extensive operations.
Yarns have not partaken of a similar reaction : they are
not, perhaps, quite such ready sale, but they are lower, and
the demand is extensive.

ARCHITECTURAL RUINS IN THE CAROLINE ISLANDS.
—Among the Caroline Islands is Ascensio, about
11 degrees north latitude, discovered some years ago
by her Majesty's ship Raven, and not yet properly laid
down in maps. A gentleman who subsequently stayed
there for several months, reports the following :—" On
this island, perhaps on others of the same group, the
language of the aborigines is more harmonious than in
other islands of the Pacific,.a great many words ending
with vowels. There are, at a place called Tamen, ruins
of a town, now only acccessible by boats, the
water reaching up to the steps of the houses
The huge walls are overgrown with bread
cocoa-nut,occup and other ancient trees, and the ruins
y
a space of several miles. The stones of these
edifices are laid bed and quoin, exhibiting a considerable
degree of art. Some of the hewn stones are 20 feet
long, by 3 feet 5 inches, and no cement or mortar
uniting them was observed. The walls have door and
window places, and the material seemed to be different
from the rock in the immediate neighbourhood. There
is a mountain in the island, the rock of which is covered
with symbolic figures ; and more extensive ruins than
habits
of above are said to exist in the interior. The
of these islanders exhibit traces of a different social
system, water being carried about afterte
originmealsfoorf wash-
ingthese hands, &c. When asked about the
buildings, they say that " they were built by men now
above."—The Builder.

BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, JAN. 16.—We have to
report a very dull market for all descriptions of raw
sugar, and prices must again be quoted from 6cl. to is.
per cwt. under those current here last week ; the sales
since our last are under 390 hlids.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
CONSISTORY COURT, Jan. 17.
