STATE OF TRADE.

ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, JUNE 14.—There
' has been more business done this week in combing and
clothing Wools, and a better tone of feeling prevails, but
prices are not yet such as to afford a profit on the rates
asked and obtained by the farmers.
HULL.—The wool season in this town may be said to
have commenced on Tuesday last, that being the first
day upon which any English wool of this year's growth
was offered, and the quantity was by no means equal
to the demand ; the prices averaged lI d. per lb. As
events have turned out, it appears unfortunate that the
wish expressed last year to commence the wool fair a
fortnight earlier than usual, should have been aceeded
to, for, the weather being for a long time cold, though
dry, caused the farmers generally to delay shearing ;
during the last fortnight, however, clipping has been at
its height, and a great weight of wool is known to be
in process of packing. The prospect of an early har-
vest, also, will induce all possible expedition with re-
spect to this article, and we fully expect that buyers
during the next month will find the market much better
supplied.
IzEDs.—There continues to be a very thin supply of
balk goods brought to our cloth-halls, particularly of
low qualities, suitable for the shipping houses ; such at
present meet ready sale. There has also been a fair
quantity of shawls and fancy cloakings, delivered to order
during the week. On the whole there continues to be a
full average business ' doing, as compared to the same
period of the season of the last few years. The American
houses still continue busy, but the spring season being
nearly over, and too soon for speculation for the autumn
demand, there has in consequence been but little doing in
the warehouses of those who depend solely on the home
trade.

BRADFORD MARRET.—Pieces are moved off in fair
quantities, and the business doing at this period is fully
an average of former seasons. Yarns are now assuming
a degree of firmness in price, and more disposition to
buy than for some time past, which augurs more favour-
ably for the future. The opening of the different wool
markets at York, Doncaster, &c., for the season, some-
what obstructs the buyers who for a long time have been
doing but little here, which causes the demand for comb-
ing wools to continue languid, and prices barely main-
tained. The improvement at the recent colonial sales has
tended to somewhat improve the demand for fine brokes
and noils, and for which recent prices are fully main-
tained.

TRADE OP MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EVENING.--We
have not had so much doing in cloth this week as many
anticipated ; and though large quantifies are buying for
India and China, still the production seems to exceed the
demand, and in consequence manufacturers are disposed
to accept rather less money than on this day sennigh t.
Good printing cloth is fully as dear, and the demand
very good. Domestics are rather lower, and not quite
so much doing in them. - Twist is selling pretty freely,
at prices not quotably different from.tllo.p rated last
week.—Lecds Mercury.
WAKEFIELD, JUNE 14.—We do not make any alto-
ratim in our report of the Wool market this week; sales
s kill& 40 imited, bid Prices lire Arlan.
