STATE OF TRADE.
FOREIGN WOOL TRADE.--LEEDS, MAY 17.—There has
been a less active demand for some descriptions of foreign
wool during the past week, and transactions on the whole
have been more limited. Prices nevertheless are firm.
ENGLISH WOOL MARKET.—LEEDS, MAY 17.—The
manufacturers, who had been holding off from buying
combing wool for some time, have now considerably re-
duced their stocks, and are beginning to come into the
market again as purchasers, though the prices they offer
are below the rates at which supplies can be obtained
from the farmers. Clothing wools are without any
alteratien.

YORK WOOL MARKET, MAY 16.—This day the Wool
market for the season commenced, and was attended by
a tolerable number of buyers, but the-quantity shown was
very small, and throughout the market continued flat.
Prices varied from 10d. to 12d. per lb.
LEEDS.—The markets at both our Cloth-halls have
been brisk for goods of a general description, but in
tweeds there has been rather less done, particularly in
low thin sorts. There has also been considerable inquiry
for shawls and cloakings, of new patterns, whilst the
halls are kept thin of goods, in consequence of many
manufacturers being engaged in delivering to order for
the American and Chinese markets. There has not
been quite so much business done by the houses in the
home trade this week, but the shipping houses continue
very busy. On the whole, there is more business doing
than usual at this season, with every prospect of a steady
trade for the autumn. _

BRADFORD MARKET, THCRSDAY.--The attendance of
merchants in the Piece Market is not so numerous to-
day as is usual at this time of the year, nevertheless the
amount of business done is a full average of many weeks
past. In prices no- alteration. Yarn continues in fair
prices firm. In

To L AtnES.—The high. and universal celebrity
which Rowland's Kalydor continues to maintain, as an active
yet mild and soothing extirpator. of all impurities of the
skin, is, during the peiiod'of Spring, most pleasingly evinced.
This preparation, eminently bq.lsamic, restorative, and invi-
gorating, iS:equally celebrated for safety in application, as for
unfailing efficacy in removing all Impurities and discoloura-
tion ; and imparting a healthy freshness and transparency
to the Skin and Complexion., llts universally great demand
excites the cupidity of unprincipled shopkeepers, who give
the title of " Genifine" Kalydor to compounds of their own
manufacture, of the most deleterious character, containing
mineral astringents utterly ruinous to the Complexion, and,
by their repellant action endangering health. It is, there-
fore, imperative on purchasers to see that the words " Row-
land's Kalydor" are on the wrapper.—All others are fraudu-
lent Counterfeits,
