STATE OF TRADE.

BRADFORD, Feb. 6.—Choice sorts of good wool
continue in steady demand, at hardening rates.
There is a gradual and perceptible improvement,
slow and steady, from week to week. The scarcity
of good wool in the market enables holders to com-
mand their own rates, and some incline to the be-
lief that, with a better supply in the market, the
upward tendency must be checked. Some fair sales
"or wool have been made during the week, and a con-
siderable lot of very choic3 Lincoln hogs has rea-
lised as much as ls. 6d. per lb., showing a marked
advance during the past three weeks from the time
of Messrs. Townsends7 sale. There is more inquiry
in worsted yarns on the part of export merchants.
Some fair sales hare taken place during the last few
days in both single and twofold yarns. Not only
have stocks been reduced, but orders have been
placed for actual requirement. The piece branch
hardly partakes of the improvement visible in the
other branches. There has been a little more doing
for the Continent and for France, but little, if any,
improvement can be reported for other quarters. A
fair business seems to be doing in fancy goods.
Stocks, however, continue heavy in many hands,
and though prices have a hardening tendency, they
cannot be said to be quotably higher. !Heavy goods
are an exception to this, having for some weeks been
higher in price.

The following is an extract from the Japan Times,
published at Yokohama, dated December 14, 1867 :
Yesterday morning, when her Majesty's ship
Basilisk, Capt. Hewett, V.C., which had left Yoko-
hama for the Inland Sea, was about 40 leagues on
her way, an alarm was given on board of fire.'
One of the servants was engaged in getting up
some stores from the store-room underneath the
ward-room, when he accidentally upset a carboy of
turpentine, which immediately took fire from the
flame of the hand lamp taken by the man into the
store-room, and at once spread with inconceivable
rapidity. The alarm having been given, the crew
were called to fire quarters, and the five available
pumps, two worked by steam and three by hand,
were manned and brought to bear upon the flames,
which rushed up from below, but for some time
without producing any apparent effect. The boats
were prepared for lowering, and all necessary pre-
cautions were taken for saving life in the last ex-
tremity if the fire should obtain the final mastery,
but the exertions of all were at the same time re-
doubled towards its suppression, the lower deck
being also scuttled in several places to give the
water access to the fire, which by this time was
raging in close vicinity to the magazine. Nearly
four feet of water was in the ship's hold before the
fire slackened, but at length it gave way before the
determined attacks made upon it, and the good ship
was safe. The Basilisk immediately bore up for this
port, where she arrived about 1 a.m. Most of the
ship's stores, the officers' stores, and the ship's papers
have been destroyed."

combine both sanitive and curative powers in a high

gree—by the former term is understood their ability to
preserve health, by the latter their capability to restore
health. With these remedies at
safely through the hand no invalid need be
at fault to guide himself or herself
many trials to which every ono is
subjected during our
long and oftentimes inclement winters. Coughs, colds,
ulcerated throats, diphtheria, whooping cough can be suc-
cessfully treated by well rubbing this ointment upon the
chest and by taking the pills. During damp, foggy weather
astlimatical sufferers will experience the utmost possible
relief from the inunction of the ointment, and all tender-
chested persons will save endless misery by adopting this
