[A.DVERTI473I- NT]. —BOTANIC WATER, IND BEAR,'
GREASE.—When the hair is becoming thin, aed falling
off; the only effectual remedy, besides shaving the head,
is the use of the two above-named articles, applied alter
netely, the botanic water to cleanse the roots from scurf,
a id as a stimulant, and the bears' grease as a nourisher.
If any further evidence was required of the vittues of
be ire' grease for lenovating and preserving the hair, Mr.
Catlin a account c f the quantity used, and the length of
hair obtained by some of the North American Indiame
would be a eudicient answer.—ltoes and Sone, 119 and
120, Bishnpsgrtc-street, London, who first introduced
the use ci bears' grease in this country, and who fat and
kill the animals, recommend the public to purchase none
other but with their relines aid address printed on the
pot, or the chances are their obtaining a spurious article.
TRADE or LEEDS.—A gradual amelioration has
to-m going on throughout tie past year, both in our
wool!el awl worsted districts. and the latter has now
reached a point of great activity, and prices are highly
remunerating, notwithstanding the advance in wool has
been from 15 to 25 per cent., according to quality. In
cloths aryl other woollen filirics we have ha I an in-
creased demand fer the home market, but we regret to
say our cxport trade cottlnues in a most unsati:f ctory
state, es will be seen from the following faits :—Nieces
per annum. The average export f woollen cloths of
sorts for lel): y ttiee ending wit '1 536, aa : 505,`178;
for )e Ira, eTi3ing with 18.11, 311,665; f e the year
1848, 196,676. We are not, he W. ver, without hope that
this downward course may he arrested by a patent
finiih, which we hare now in suceesbfel opt ration. In
turning our attention from the past to our prospecti. f
the future, we see every e mourageruent to hope that we
have entered upla a cycle of prosperntis years f which
1849 was the commencement. Within ourselves we
lative abundant evidence diet in all hutna t probability
such will be t o case; and from what we hate expe-
rienced in the past two years of the effect pro3uced by
the political convulsions of our neiehbours, it is evident
that nothing in this respect short f a general war can
seriously affect the commerce f this country. Perhaps
never at any former period hive n e h tit wieh n our
reach means so ample for the full development of our
c-)rnineice, for which new fields of enterprise are now
being opt-ned t t us by the abrogation of laws which in
times part have eta aped our ea Tgies and driven capital
to other countrier.—Lecds Mercury.
