STATE OF TRADE.

LEEDS, Nov. Bth.—The woollen cloth trade con-
tinues steady and without any marked features of
change. There has been a moderate attendance of
buyers in the cloth halls to-day, and about an aver-
age Tuesday's business has.been done. Prices are
fix m.

MANCIIEZTER, Bth.—There has been a very fair
business in yarns for Calcutta and China, and the
Germans have been buying with more feeedom. A
fair business is reported in cop yarns for the home
trade, and fine counts of Bolton spinnings meet with
greater demand and are firmer in price. Manufac-
turers meet with more difficulty in obtaining warps
owing to the pre-engagements of spinners, and they
have in many instances had to give amonth's notice
to insure a supply for printing cloths and some other
fabrics. Buyers for the Mediterranean markets are
also doing a fair business. The aggregate business is,
therefore, considerable. An attempt was made by
spinners to exact rather higher terms, but it tended
to check business where persisted in, and, with
some exceptions, the trade have met the demand at
last quotations. There is greater firmness, gene-
rally, however, and spinners being well supplied.
with orders there is a very healthy tone in the
market. In cloths there is also a very decided im-
provement both as to demand and prices. India
shirtings have advanced fully 13d. per piece, and
other fabrics suited to that market have advanced
in a relative proportion. A considerable, if not
extensive, business has been done in these goods
today for Calcutta. It is presumed that this
impulse has been given to the market by tele-
grams to hand from Calcutta to the 13th and
16th of October, which bring. advices of a de-
cided improvement there both in demand and.
in prices. There is some discrepancy between
the accounts to hand by telegrams from Bom-
bay ; but those to hand from one of the most
reliable houses there speak of some good sales—of
a considerable business in fact, and generally these
advices are regarded in a favourable light. Cloths
for other markets, including the home trade, are
without much change. The India advices have had
a cheering influence on the market generally, and
a fair general business is reported at steady prices.
Printers, particularly 9-Bths, are in very good de-
mand, with a tendency to improved values. We
hear, also, of looms standing in some districts from
the difficulty of getting workpeople.

LOST ON THE FELLS.—The following distress-
ing circumstance will give an idea of the fearfully incle-
ment weather that prevailed in the northern part of the
kingdom last week. On Friday evening a drover left Al-
lendale town fair, which is held in the hill district dividing
Northumberland from Cumberland, with a drove of cattle.
His course lay across the Fells, which stretch between the
two northe n rivers, the Allan and the Derwent, his desti-
nation being towards the latter named stream. The night
was one of the roughest that has been known in the hill
districts for many years. The rain descended in torrents,
and the wind howled dismally over the hills which skirt
the dreary waste. Tt is thought that the drove on getting
out among the Fells had broken up into parties, some
taking one direction and 1301,0 another, and that the drover
tattempted two a
