STATE OF TRADE.

(From the Leeds Intelligencer.)
LEEDS TRADE.—The cloth trade at Leeds as been very
brisk during the past week. Strong cloths for the winter
trade have sold well, and the demand has in many cases ex-
ceeded the supply, the clothiers being unable from various
causes to keep large stocks in the Halls. Prices are conse-
quently improving, and the demand for finished goods is very
lively.
BRADFORD MARKET.—There was no improvement in the
demand for wool at this Market on Thursday, the spinners
being reluctant to give the prices asked by the staplers. The
some remark applies to the yarn market, the spinners being
unable from the cost of the raw material to accept the terms
offered by the manufacturers. Yarns of common quality were
most in request. There was a fair share of business done in
the Piece Hall, principally in low goods, but the prices of all
kinds of goods remained firm, yet the general opinion is that
wool must come down before there is any material improve-
ment in trade.

•14, al • •••
At HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, on Tuesday, business was not so
brisk as on the previous two or three market days, but yet a
considerable quantity of goods were sold.
HALIFAX MARKET, on Saturday, was unusually dull, the
attendance of buyers being remarkably limited.
DEWSBURY.-Business generally is not brisk. The trade
in pieces, which has been good for some time, is now flat.
There is a demand for blankets, but at such low prices that the
makers cannot get any profit by them.

SADDLEWORTI.—The woollen trade at Saddleworth is
better ; hands are more fully employed. The prospects of the
manufacturers are improving.
ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, SEPT. I.—This day's Mar-
ket was not so well attended by buyers as on the previous
Monday, which made the market not quite so brisk ; yet the
low goods and middle qualities sold readily, and a deal of busi-
ness was done at last week's prices. Fine sorts were not so
much inquired after. There was not so much business done in
the wool market to-day as last week. Prices were steady.
TRADE IN LANCASHIRE. The fancy silk-weavers, or jac-
quards, at Manchester and the neighbourhood, are very slack.
Many of them are entirely idle, and those who have work have
not more than have sufficient. The weavers of plain sarsnets
and black silk handkerchiefs are very brisk, but fancy table-
cloth weaving is slack. The cotton spinning and power-loom
weaving business at Bury and Heywood are active, and fine
spinning is in great request.
YORK WOOL MARKET, SEPT. 4.—Our Wool Market this
day was well attended with buyers in great demand. Long
wool from 245. to 255. 6d. ; very little Scotch wool in the
market ; locks and cots from 14s. to 16s. 6d. : all ewe, 21s.
The large wool sale at Liverpool, on Thursday was well
attended, and the several lots were sold at an advance upon
the last sales. About half the quantity advertised has been
disposed of.
BRISTOL WOOL FAia.—The attendance of manufacturers,
woolgrowers, and staplers, at Bristol Wool Fair, on Monday,
was not so numerous as has been known on former occasions,
and little business was done. The holders of wools seemed
resolved to resist any further reduction of price, and the gene-
ral opinion was, that price will remain firm at least till the
prospects of the next clip are ascertained. The middle quali-
ties of English clothing wool sell ten per cent. higher in the
west of England than in the Yorkshire market.

JACOB FAITHFUL, BY THE AUTHOR OF PETER
StmPLE.--Tilis singular and very original production, that has
in fragments so much delighted the numerous readers of The
Metropolitan, will, we observe, be published in the ensuing
week. To make use of an Irishism, the gallant author (Cap-
tain Marryat) has broken up original ground on the river, and
under the tillage of his experienced hand produced both fruits
and flowers, that will make this novel as popular as its de-
lightful predecessor—Peter Simple.
