STATE OF TRADE.

FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, FEB. 9.—There
has been a considerable amount of business dune in
foreign wools this w eek, and prices generally may be
quoted a shade higher. This may perhaps be attri-
buted in part to the advance realised at the London
00l sales just terminated.
ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, FEB. 9.—The
sales of combing wools have continued brisk this
week; and prices continue to have an upward ten-
dency. Clothing wools sell more freely than of late, at
a further advance on last week's prices ; but neither of
them are equal to the quotations asked by the growers
in the country.
WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, FEB. 9.—Although
this week's transactions in combing wools have
scarcely been so extensive as the last—yet they have
exceeded the arrivals, and prices may be quoted a
shade higher. Low clothing `cols are in brisk
demand at advanced rates.

LEEns.—The principal articles in demand at our
cloth halls still continue to be for tweeds and
cloths of low qualities, which have been bought
pretty freely this week, and in middle qualities there
has also been a little more done than for some time past.
On the whole there is more business doing than for some
years past at the same period of the year, and prices,
particularly in low goods, are looking up. The ship-
ping houses still continue busy, and there has been
many buyers for the home market in the town during
the week ; in consequence a fair amount of goods
have been sold in the warehouses.

BRADFORD MARKET, FEB. B.—There is nothing
new in the piece market since our last. A consider-
able business is doing, and on all hands higher prices
are sought. Yarns continue to meet ready sale, and
the bpuiners are unwilling to take further orders.
There is no falling off in the demand for wool, and
as the consumption is now considerable, it is not pro-
bable that any reduction can take place for a long
time to come, as the large accumulation in the
growers' hands has been brought to the market, and
the holders here evince a disposition to seek still higher
rates than last week's quotations.
MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EVENING.—We are all
out of joint here, arising out of the advance in cotton
in Liverpool; the prices asking are so various that it
would be absurd, or rather impossible, to quote the
sellingl price of any kind of cloth except printing
leo ths, which are in very great demand, and at prices
quite satisfactory to the manufactui ers, notwithstand-
ing the advance in the staple. The usually large
buyers are literally doing
uit ictur cttle or nothing, and as
fa will
stocks are now increasing, seoros,nobr othseeebnuyers,
whe-
ther the spinners and manufacturers,
will first give way.--Leeds Mercury.

CHABIL—TIGIIT LACING.—On Saturdaysre'npnilght,
a fine blooming girl, aged fourteen, daughter of m
of the Crown Inn, after running a short distance, coinplaTleerd
of a pain in her side, fell down, and died shortly afterwaids
A post mortem examination was made by N. W. Spicer, F 4.,
and it was found that death was caused immediately by the
rupture of a blood vessel on the lungs, induced by the exer-
tion of running, and the pressure of tightly-laced stays.—
