STATE OF TRADE.
(From tho Manchestei Guardian of this day.)
MA:CODESERR, TUESDAY.— Although the orders for
yarns from the coutinent of Europe continue indivi-
dually small, and comparatively limited in their ag-
gregate amount, the merchants experience as much
difficulty ao ever in placing them for delivery within
a reasonable time; and the consequence is, that
while but very little business is done, or can be
done, that little has to encounter a hardening ten-
dency in prices. This statement refers particularly
to 20's and 30's water in the bundle, while, in the
lower counts of reeled water, and in 20's reeled
mule, as wail as in 28's warps, prices are firmly sus-
tained. As regards warps of lower numbers, down to
16's, which, under a combined home and foreign
demand of great extent, have attained to relatively
high prices, it has been found to-day, more distinctly
than it was last week, that the buyers are less
disposed than they were a short time back to
give cut orders ; and this has led to a con-
cession of id. per lb. by such spinners as are ap-
proaching the end of their contracts, though the most
part are too well situated, in this respect, to give way
at all. The same remark applies to the corre-
sponding counts of pin-cop weft. The finer yarns,
adapted to the Russian market, are scarcely firm in
price. In qualities suitable for India, there is hardly
anything going on for that quarter ; but, as they ap-
pear to be elsewhere NI an:: d in some degree, and as the
production is to some extent lessened, no alteration
has taken place in price. In goods there has been
a general want of animation, and the operations have
been only of moderate extent on the whole ; but prices
have shown much steadiness, though in some articles,
as for instance, Indian fabrics, there may be a slight
further bias against the producers. Altogether, the
market for yarns and goods is quiet, and, though
steady, pervaded by a spirit of caution. There has
been much complaining to-day, and certainly not
without reason, of the decision of the American
chamber at Liverpool, to limit to three months, in-
stead of twelve as heretofore, the responsibility of
merchants and shippers on the other side on account
of deficiency of weight, or anything rendering cotton
unmerchantable.

ROCIIDALE, MoNDAY.--There is no amendment
in the flannel market this week, and goods continue
heavy of sale. Last September it was difficult to ob-
tain goods to meet the demand. There is no change
in the wool market, ana the manufacturers continue
to buy for immediate use only.
HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—The languor which has of
late pervaded the worsted trade has experienced no
diminution ; and with the exception of a few fancy
goods of low quality, scarcely anything has changed
hands to-day, in our Piece Hall. We cannot report
any improvement in the demand for yarn, and the
prices continue below the cost of production. The
wool market is quiet, without any change in the
quotations.

HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.-13usiness still conti-
nues quiet. There has been no material improvement
in the character of the market since our last week's
report. The buyers attending the Cloth-hall to-day
have been few, and their purchases small. A few of
the larger shipping houses have been pretty busy
during the week with continental orders, though the
shippers generally are not busy. A few orders have
been received in the warehouses for goods of heavy
make, suitable for the coming season.
LEEDS, TUESDAY.—The market at the halls to-day
has been quiet, and the woollen trade is dull for the
season of the year. Winter goods met a fair sale ;
but there is little doing in other descriptions of cloth.

HEAL7HOF LONDON DURILVG THE WEEK.

(From the Report of the Registrar-General.)
London is as healthy as is usual at this season of the
year. 1,026 deaths ere registered in the week. The
average number of deaths in the corresponding week
of the ten years 1841-50 was 1,104 ; or 1,000 if we
correct for increase of population and exclude 2,865
deaths in the second week of September, 1849, when
the cholera was epidemic. In the last week there
was a death every ten minutes in London; hut the
population is now about 2,381,000, and the mortality
is therefore at the rate of 1 in 2,381 weekly. The
births were 1,429, and exceeded the deaths by 403 ;
the population is increasing partly by immigration at
the rate of 42,000 a year, or 800 weekly.
535 males and 491 females died. The ages of four
persons were not reported; 198 only were of the
age of 60 and upwards, 359 were in the prime of
life, and 465 were children who had not attained the
age of 15. Of the 1,026 deaths, 722 occurred on
the north, 304 on the south side of the Thames. 72
persons died in hospitals, 9 in lunatic asylums, 93 in
workhouses, 5 in prisons, 7 in military and naval
hospitals, and Bin military and naval asylums. No
persons died in the hospitals for foreigners.
Diarrhma, summer cholera, and fever are the pre-
vailing diseases ; fever is increasing ; cholera is
slowly, diarrheas rapidly, declining. The deaths in
the last three weeks were 28, 17, 17 from cholera, and
174, 192, 101 from diarrhoea. 24 men and women
died of that painful disease cancer, and 119 of con-
sumption, and 31 of heart disease; six women died
in childbirth. 59 violent deaths are reported.

the advanced age of 102.

Pratt-street, on the 9th of September, a bag-maker,
aged 72, "diarrlcea (10 days), dysentery (15 days),
exhaustion (5 days)." Mr. Hull remarks that
" much disease, arising from the want of sanitary im-
provement, prevails in this place. The back yards are
below the level of the road, the cesspools at the bottom
of the yards are in a very foul state, and one of the
inhabitants keeps several pigs. The houses are
crowded by pApr families, the majority of whom are
not of the most cleanly habits. These yards abut
upon the ground of a house in Acre-place; the back
of the privies alluded to forms a portion of the garden-
wall, and the stench from the cesspools is so great
that the family living in Acre-place are suffering
from fever and other disorders, which their medical
attendant asserts arise from the nuisance complained
of. The parish authorities have beets applied to, but
nothing is done to remedy the evil."
In St. Pancras, lientish-town tab-district, at is,
Haversteek-street, Camthn-town, on the 9th of

• " there are
seven persons ill with the same disease in this
house.
I understand there is a dust-hole which is most offen-
sive from the occupiers neglecting to have it emptied."
Blr. Child, the registrar of Norwood sub-district,
states that " diarthe
a is prevalent in the district,

more particularly in localities inhabited by the I,w r
classes, and those who keep swine in close confined
places."
