STATE OF TRADE.
FOREIGN WOOL TRADE.—LEEDS, JUNE 2s.—About an
average amount of business has been done in foreign
wool this week, and prices are very firm.
ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, JUNE 28.—There
has been a fair amount of sales this week, and prices are
firmer, though still below the proportion of the rates at
which fresh supplies can be obtained.
WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, JUNE 28.—Sales can
be effected at a better price than last week, and sellers
appear less anxious to part with their stocks.
YORK WOOL MARKET, JUNE 27.—Oar market conti-
nues to be well supplied with wool, the show to-day
being uncommonly large. The quantity did not, how•
ever, exceed the demand, and the whole was sold.
Prices were very steady. Mixed lots of good bred wool,
according to quality, 13s. 6d., 13s. 9d., to 14s. 6d. ; locks
and cots, Bs. 6d. to 10s. 6d. per stone of 141bs.
LEEDS.—The supply of goods brought to our Cloth
Halls continue to be smaller than usual, from the
circumstance that many of the manufacturers are en-
gaged with orders. The markets of the week have
been above an average; and prices are a shade higher :
shawls, cloakings in - new patterns, low cloths, and
for the winter trade, are the principle articles
in demand, ancLthereja. a little snore doing in fine
cloths,' the'pribOt of Which -are without 'any,,tateration.
There tee beeti`.4-11ttre done by-the home buyeis,
this week, and the foreign trade continues brisk • on
the whole, there is more business doing. than has been
the case for many years at the same period of the year.
HECKMONDKWIKE BLANKET MARKET, JUNE 27.
There was a good attendance of buyers at this market
on Monday last, and good samples fetched the full ad-
vance. Thursday's market was not so well attended.
The manufacturers in the neighbourhood continue to be
well employed, and are likely to be so for some time to
come.

BRADFORD MARKET, THITBSDAY.--Thebusiness doing
in pieces is steadily improving, and as the season advances,
a fall and active movement in goods is generally ex-
pected. Yarns are in steady request, and prices with an
upward tendency. The demand for combing wools still
continues limited, but there is a degree of firmness ex-
hibited by the holders, seeing they cannot replace their
stocks in the country at the prices offered by the buyers
here.

MANCHESTER, THURSDAY.--.We have no improve-
ment in our cloth market to report this week, and prices,.
for all kinds, except printing cloths, are either stationary
or declining in value. Such is also the case with shirt-
ings, long cloths, &c. These articles have receded
within the last few weeks as much as 10 or 12 per cent.
in value, and are likely to go still lower, unless very
favourable accounts are received by the next Indian
mail. There is a large amount of business doing in
yarns, more than perhaps was ever known, but still at
no improvement in prices. The Greeks and Russians
operate most freely.—Leeds Mercury.

IMPORTANT TO OWNERS AND COMMANDERS
OF VESSELS.
Extract of a letter received at Lloyd's from their Agent
at Sydney, Cape Breton, dated 12th June, 1844 :
"I send you an extract from a provisional statute,
whereby all ships wrecked on this coast with passengers
are to be taken possession of by. tie Cbllector of the
Customs, or such other person as the Lieutenant-
Governor may appoint, and the proceeds made available
for the maintenance and transport of the passengers to
their original destinations. Perhaps it would be as well
to let this circumstance be known, that masters of ships
may govern themselves accordingly, and not dispose of
the property without proper authority."

SIRS I think
himself in the knowledge that there are men in the House
of Commons whose votes are given from principle. Mr.
Cobden, and those who stood with him in the late division
on the Sugar question, have earned a deep feeling of ad-
miration, and although party feeling argues he did wrong,
yet as true to the doctrine advocated by free-traders, they
deserve the thanks of all thinking men. The papersof both
parties have deprecated the vote, but no paper can influence
a mind that thinks for itself. I beg, therefore, as a free-
trader, to thank Mr. Cobden and his companions in prin-
ciple, for the manly manner they advocated free trade, when
faction (like the witches in Macbeth), endeavoured to prove
that right was wrong.—Yours, &c.,
Devonport, June 27, 1844.
