STATE OF 7RADE.

BRADFORD, Thursday.--The languor of many
weeks past still characterises the wool trade.
Spinners are buying only for immediate use and
for assorting purposes, and there is no disposition
to buy beyond this or on speculation. Slightly
more business is doing in bright-haired and other
good wools, and prices are pretty firmly main-
tained. An improvement before long is expected
by staplers, and dealers in the country hold out
with great firmness for such lots as they have still
at baud. Spinners, on the other hand, have
the impression that prices will be lower, and are
moreover pretty well supplied with wool, and con-
sequently stand aloof and make no purchases except
under absolute necessity. Quotations are generally
firmly held, although the tendency is easier, espe-
cially in the lower sorts of wool. The easy range
of prices enables staplers to hold more readily than
they were able to do when the range of prices was
higher than at present. There is still great depres-
sion in the yarn trade, and the sale by tender to-day
of the stock of an insolvent holder of single yarns
tends to increase the languor and indisposition to
operate. The business doing in this description
of yarns is very small, and prices have a drooping
tendency. There is a steady demand for twofold
yarns, but the prospect of the production being
greater than the demand tends to depress prices.
There is a steady business doing in genappe
yarns, and prices are pretty firmly maintained. Con-
tinental merchants make offers, but they still
fall below spinners'
,quotations. The home de-
mand is very healthy, and prices are well main-
tained. The general tendency of prices is easier.
The transactions in pieces are very meagre,
though there is a very hopeful feeling prevail-
ing. The time, being " between seasons," is un-
favourable to business. Some slight business has
been done on home account. Continental merchants
have also placed some new orders. There is rather
more activity for America,
though the operations
are very restricted. The demand for the East is
small. Manufacturers are pretty well employed
on orders received some time ago. Owing to the
firmness in cotton, prices aro generally well
maintained.

When a man believes anything absolutely, it is
always pleasant to seo hitn make an ocular demonstration
of his faith. At Algona, lowa, ono Mrs. Ingham was
appointed to deliver the oration last Independence
Day. So she carried her infant and her husband into
the assembly of the people, and while she occupied
the platform Mr. Ingham meekly held the baby !
Probably arrangements were made which prevented
the child from yearning for the '6 maternal fount," or per-
haps, as Mr. Chick observes, in " Dombey and Son,"
" something temporary was done with a tea-pot." Mr.
Ingham is said to have been "very proud of his wife's
success" on the occasion. We think ho had more reason
to be proud of his own, fur it was an essay in a Larder
field.—New York Tribune.
