STATE OF TRADE.-MANCHESTER, JUNE 10.--We
have had rather more chserfuldess in the market, and,
though business did not open favourably, there were soma
considerable orders given out before the close of the day. In
yarns 30's to 40's mule were again in considerable request
in consequence of the orders in the hands of manufacturers
for low qualities of 40-inch shirting suitable to the eastern
markets. In some cases as much as 1/Bd. to mod. per
pound advance for these yarns was obtained. Water
twist for warps, suitable for the same description of goods,
was also in good demand, and prices advanced a shade.
For some few descriptions of cloth, which are low in
stock, or difficult to obtain in consequence of extensive
contracts, prices also exhibited a hardening tendency ;
but as yet the reports of improvement are by no means
general, and some of our principal houses report but a
moderate business. The prices of both cloth and yarn its
general demand for the export trade can be bought readily
at last prices. In the lighter kinds of long cloths and
T cloths there is more business, but no improvement in
prices.

GLASGOW POLICE STATISTICS.--.-111 the month of
May no fewer than 823 persons were brought before the ma-
gistrate, charged with every conceivable crime and contra-
vention—from child-murder and serious assaults down to
hanging clothes outside of windows. Out of the above
total, the numbers brought up on criminal charges were 187,
viz.-116 males and 71 females ; and these were disposed of
either by the sitting magistrate or remitted to higher courts
—the great majority of the prisoners, Viz., 130, being
accused cf thefts. It is worthy of remark, that these crimi-
nals are not the deplorably ignorant persons they are gene-
rally supposed to be. Out of the 187 (many of them being
under 15 years of age), 136 are able to read, and 79 able to
read and write.—North British Mail.
YANIIEE•DOODLE.—In a curious book on the
round towers of Ireland (I forget the title), the origin of the
term Yankee-doodle was traced to the Persian phrase,
" Yanki dooniali," or "Inhabitants of the New World."
Layard, in his boook on " Nineveh and its Remains," al so
mentions " Yanghi-dunia" as the Persian name of America.

THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
IPSWICH, JUNE 10.
We get no increase to the limited supply of wheat, the ad-
vance in London market being fully anticipated. Sales were
readily made at 2s to 3s per qr. more money than last week.
The stocks of wheat in the growers' hands are reported and
believed to be enusually small. All spring corn exhibited for
sale cold readily at :s to 2s per qr. advance.

HULL, JUNE 10.
Alessrs. Taylor and Bright's Circular states :—We have
still to report moderate arrivals of all descriptions of grain, and
a good inquiry, for consumers take off all fresh-conditiored
grain at some improvement in value. The feeling gain!
ground that the extreme of depression in wheat has past, and
that stocks in farmers' hands being light, we may, with con-
tinued small arrivals, experience some advance in this article.
A good deal of rain has fallen during the past seven days,
which must have been very acceptable to the agriculturist,
though fine sunny weather is now desirable, the temperature
having been below par for the month of June. We had only
a moderate show of wheat from our own arid neighbouring
farmers ; and, as is usual on a rising market, much was said of
the smallness of the stocks left in their hands. The demand
from millers was exceedingly good, and prices of all descrip-
tions must be quoted fully Is to 2s per qr dearer than last
week; good runs of red fetched readily 42s to 44s per qr, na-
tural weight 631bs per bushel. The quantity of foreign offer-
ing from shipboard is exceedingly limited, and as yet ware-
housed parcels hardly come into play. We quote good red
wheats is dearer, but white wheats, which have all along
been held relatively high, do not fully participate in the ad-
vance. We have very small stocks of all descriptions of spring
corn in warehouse here, and arrivals insignificant. Without
particularizing, all provender articles are Is per qr dearer.
The linseed market has recovered from its late depression,
aided by the improvement in oil, and general demand fo
feeding articles; linseed cakes fully maintain our currency.
with little inclination on the part of crushers to make con-
tracts. Nothing doing in rapeseed, while our quotations ar
supported for rape cakes, with only moderate supplies. Bones
are in brisk demand, and our top quotations paid.
