S'CIIOBERT SOCIETY.

A concert for the benefit of Herr Schubert,
founder of the " Schubert Society," was given last
evening at the Beethoven Rooms, Harley street—
conductor, M. Jules Benedict, president of the
society. The chief soloists were Herr Schratten-
holz, pianoforte ; Herr Ludwig, violin ; and Herr
Schubert, violincel:o. Herr Ludwig was much
applauded for his clever execution of Tartini's
"Tulle du Diable," and contributed greatly to the
success of the benyciare's original quartett, with
which the first part of the concert concluded. Herr
Schubert also played with much effect another of
his own compositions, in two parts, a "berceuse," and
a brilliant rondo, "impatience," which were greatly
applauded. The vocal portion of the programme
included three artists, who did not come, but their
absence was compensated for by the efforts of Miss
Fanny Poole, Miss Jessie Royd, and Mdlle. Chame-
roozow, the latter young lady making on this occa-
sion her second public appearance. She was pre-
eminently successful, and, though extremely young,
sings with a purity of intonation and a correctness
of style which indicate great natural capabilities
and careful training in the best school. We under-
stand she has received her vocal education from.
M. F. Delsarte, the celebrated professor of singing
in Paris. She was encored in Reber's lively song,
" Le Jardin," and repeated it ; and the same tribute
of satisfaction was p lid her in the second part ; after
Wenkerlin's gay ballad, " Stars the night adorn-
ing," she sang, accompanying herself, " The Oak
and the Ash," from Chappell's collection, with an
expression and pathos quite remarkable. Her voice
is of beautiful quality, an.l she possesses the very
rare merit of distinct articulation. With so many
excellent points in her favour, she can scarcely fail
to achieve a first position. M. Benedict accom-
panied the vocalists with his habitual carefulness
and tact.

STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, Monday, July 5.—A quieter tone
has prevailed in this market to-day, and only a
very limited inquiry has been experienced. The
demands of buyers appear to have been satisfied,
and, although there has been no giving way in
prices, quotations are not quite so extreme as they
were for some things at the close of the week.

BRADFORD, Monday.—A firmer tone again per-
vades the wool market, and this is strengthened by
the increased rates now ruling at the country
fairs. The demand is mostly for actual require-
ment, and staplers as a rule are not very willing to
part with their stocks at late rates. At old prices
large sales might be effected, but as the stocks
cannot be replaced at anything like the price
recently ruling, there is no disposition to
push sales. All descriptions participate in the
better demand. The advance that has lately taken
place in price is fully id. per lb. from the lowest
point. In worsted yarns there is again a pretty
general inquiry upon the part of export merchants.
Spinners aro Lot again seeking an advance in their
quotations. The Continental merchants are not
following the rise in this market as quickly
as was anticipated. There is rather more
doing in twofold yarns. Home sorts are going
off pretty steadily. There is a slight increase in
the demand for Genappe yarns. Worsted warps
meet with good sale, and some spinners of these
yarns have taken fair orders. There is a little in-
quiry in single yarns and 40's single for Russia at
lower rates. There is scarcely any change in prices.
Fancy goods still meet with the best sale, and in
plain goods considerable improvement is apparent
since last week.

LEICESTER, Monday.—A more cheerful feeling
pervades the wool market to-day. The result of
the fair last week, and the steadily advancing
quotations of cotton, have a stimulating
effect upon buyers. Bright-haired wool con-
tinues to attract most attention, and is
bought more freely by spinners, partly on
speculative account. Other descriptions have
shared in the improved demand, though in a less
degree. Prices have a hardening tendency. There
is a more active inquiry for woollen yarns. Mann'
facturers, having lately secured some further orders,
are anxious to cover their requirements, lest the
upward tendency in the value of wool should neces-
sitate an advance in the price of yarn. Both
lambs' wool and worsted have benefited by the ex-
tended inquiry. Cotton yarns are very little in re-
quest. The stocks of cotton fabrics in this district
are heavy, with but little immediate sign of moving
off, and buyers intimate that until they are consi-
derably reduced they will act very cautiouslit
whilst prices remain at the present high range.
Now that most of the home merchants have con"
pleted stock taking, they are looking round with
view of placing orders for hosiery. Fancy goods are
fairly in request, some houses being well engaged•
Socks and hose are also more sought after, but
the shirt and dray, er trade is still very dragging;
A few Canadians have been in the market, an;
have operated to a moderate extent. The boot and
shoe trade is somewhat better. The settled wes:
ther is giving a stimulus to this branch of business
for home consumption, but it is not yet up to all
average for the time of the year. Some manufan"
turers are busy, but many others are only partial).
employed.
