STATE OF TRADE.

_
FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LUTA) NOV. 29.—1 n the
Foreign wool market there is no material change to
report this week. Although buyers have not been so
numerous, a fair amount of business has been done,
and prices are very firm.
ENGLISH WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, Nov. 29.—There
has been a fair demand for combing and clothing
wool this week, and last week's prices are firmly
maintained.
WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, Nov. 29.—Since
our last week's report, several of our large consumers
of long wool have been in as buyers, and considerable
sales have been made at fully last week's rates, which
has imparted more firmness to the trade generally.
LEEDS.—On Saturday the cloth markets at both
halls were dull, but on luesday there was a full ave••
rage business done as compared with the markets of
the last few weeks. The stocks of beavers, pilot-
cloths, and heavy tweeds, have been much reduced,
and are now less than usual at this season, but fine
and middle qualities still continue dull of sale, and
without any alteration in price. There is little doing
in finished goods except to order, very few buyers
are visiting the market, and the foreign houses are
very An
BRADFORD MARKET, THURSDAY —There is a con-
tinued improvement in the demand for combing wool ;
and of some kinds, such as middling wethers and good
bold sorts, the market is not abundantly supplied;
but as no improvement in price is yet current to in-
duce the staplers to get a fresh supply from the
grower, it is not improbable the market may be a
turn higher. The firmness in the wool market has
made the position of the spinner even worse than be-
fore ; and at the present prices for yarns, the spinners
are compelled to continue their curtailed regulations
till they can get a corresponding price, compared with
the raw material. There is a full average attendance
of merchants here to-day, and their operations a little
more extensive, which we expect will be continued
for some weeks, in order to enable them to get a sup-
ply of goods ready to meet the next fair at Leipzic,
in January. The change in the weather during the
week is also looked favourably upon by the home-
trade houses, whose business has not been so exten-
sive as was looked fur. In prices no marked differ-
ence is notable.
MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EVEN-MG.—We have
had less doing in cloth this week, though a great
business must be reported : still there is not the brisk-
ness and buoyancy that existed on this day week. The
home market is rather more still, but, for a month
before Christmas, this is by many anticipated. The
demand for yarns has also rather declined, but as
there are no stocks, and many large spinners engaged
till the new year, there is no change in value.
BARNSLEY.—The trade of this town is uncom-
monly brisk, particularly in the branch of fancy
drills, so much so that the weavers are scarce ; and
well they may be, when the manufacturers are continu-
ally reducing their wages.—Leeds Mercury.

ACCIDENT ON THE GREENWICH RAILWAT.—On
Sunday night week, about eight o'clock, on the arrival of
the up-train from Greenwich, an accident occurred to an
elderly woman, named Ellen Donaghoe, aged 69, the
wife of a Greenwich pensioner, which is likely to prove
fatal to her. Previous to the train arriving at the regu-
lar platform, a man in the same carriage with her opened
the door and jumped out. She, believing that the train
was at its destination, followed him, when she fell be-
t‘t een the carriage and the stone platform. In falling
she broke her right thigh, by coming in contact with
the steps of the carriage. She was immediately con-
veyed on a slide, procured from the Brighton RaiN ay
station, to Guy's Hospital, when it was discovered that
she had broken her thigh in two places, just by the hip
joint and above the knee. From her age and infirmities
there is very little hope of her living many days.
BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, NOV. 29.--Our mar-
ket has been very quiet this week, and the transactions
since our last report quite unimportant ; prices, how-
ever,Treacle
are unaltered, and importers continue to show
is goods there is a steady
firmness. For refined
scarce ; crushed and pieces aro of ready
full prices. demand at
worth 235. 6d. to 245. and very
