STATE OF TRADE.

FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, JULY 25.—A considera-
ble business has been done in Foreign Wools, of nearly all de-
scriptions and qualities, this week, and as the purchases made
are almost exclusively to supply the immediate wants of the
manufacturers, there appears every prospect of a continuance
of the present fair demand. Prices retrain very firm.
ENGLISH WOOL. MARKET, LEEDS, Jinx 25.-1 n Combing
and Clothing Wools the prices are firm at late quotations, and
the demand is steady for the supply of the current requirements
of the manufacturers.

WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, JULY 25.—We have had
few sales passing this week in combing wools—the trade is in
a most unsatisfactory state. The prices asked here are less
than is now giving to the grower ; and yet our manufacturers
state that, from the low price of yarn, they cannot give our
present prices. This discrepancy bassiii the price to the
grower and consumer cannot continue, and it is impossible
yet to say how it will turn. Short wools are in good request
at firm prices, but not equal to what is given to the grower in
the southern counties.

YORK WOOL MARKET, JULY ;24.—We have had but a
moderate show of wool, with rather a slow sale, at th, following
prices :—hog lbs. ; hog and ewe 14s. to I.ls. 3d. ; locks and
hresisacwareseeeos:p't
cots 9s. 6d. to lls ; moor wool 7s. 6d. to Bs. per stone. This
market, for the remainder of the present season, will be once
a fortnight.
LENDS.—At our.,,Cloth Balls, on Saturday, a pretty fair
amount of business was done, particularly in goods calculated
for the winter demand, but on Tuesday there was the du►le._
market we have had for some time past. The principal reasc:s.
appeared to be the extreme coldness of the weather, and th-•
fear of a late harvest. Should the weather take a favourab',
change, a good fall trade is expected. There have been a fe•✓
of the London buyers in the market during the week, but ler
the same reason they have operated with great caution, and
consequence business has been dull in the warehouses.
BRADFORD, THURSDAY.—In wool there is nothing now;
the demand is for actual consumption, and at prices similar to
several weeks past. Yarns are more inquired after, and the
consumption mare than is now spinning, owing to the great
quantity of idle machinery. The price is still very discouraging,
tending rather to retard any increased production with the raw
material at the present disproportionate price. The market
to-day for piece goods has been tolerably active, and as the

EFFECT OF NEW RAILWAYS ON THE PRICE OF
COALS IN LONDON.-Mr. Mahon, in giving his evidence
before the Committee on the Cambridge and Lincoln line of
railway, stated that he had had the management of coal-mines
in Derbyshire for twenty years past; that the coal-fields of
Clay Cross, Wingerfield, and Stayley, were capable of un-
limited supply, and he believed that the Clay Cross and
Stayley coals were quite equal to the Durham. By the pro-
posed new lines of railway these coals could be delivered in
London at 14s. 10d. per ton; Erewash coals as low as 103. 6d.;
while the Wingerworth, which were not so good in quality
could not be delivered in London under 143. 6d. per ton.

REALLY, WHAT NEXT ?—On Wednesday Mr. W.
White, of Horbury, joiner, purchased a milch cow in our
cattle fair. On the following morning he went to view her,
and found the animal minus her tail. He was, as may be
imagined, greatly astonished and indignant at the discovery.
believing that it had been severed during the night by some
inhuman wretch ; but upon a closer examination he ascer-
tained that the tail had been spliced on in so ingenious a
manner as to escape detection. The tail corning off was to
be attibuted to the giving way of the materials with which
it had been put on, namely, divers yards of wazband, Ste.—
