STATE OF TRADF

ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, AUG. s.—This
branch of trade remains in about the same state as for
the last two or three weeks. There is a better supply of
new wools than a month ago ; the manufacturers buy
cautiously and sparingly to supply their current require-
ments. Prices Inc quoted the same as last week.
FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, ABC. s.—We have
had many buyers,in the market this week, who, in con-
sequence no doubt of the present prospects of a good
harvest; have purchased pretty freely. Prices are very
firm, and no fears are now entertained of their being
any lower.
HULL Wool. INIARKET.—On Tuesday there was a
short supply, nearly the whole of which was sold at
rather lower prices, averaging about 10d. per lb.
DUBLIN WOOL MARKET, AUG. 3.—Our market has
been thinly supplied with wools this week again, and all
has been bought up freely at the usual prices. The
weather for the last fortnight has been all that we could
desire, and this causes the farmer to be more indepen-
dent. Although our accounts from the manufacturing
districts in England, and those of France are alike
gloomy, we are sorry to add, that there is now no ex-
pectation of growers and holders of wool submitting to
lower prices till compelled by necessity. All wethers
sell for 15s. and all hogg for 16s.
TRADE OF LEEDS.—We have nothing cheering to re-
port of the state of our cloth markets this week. The
markets at both Halls have been quite as dull as for
:some months past, more particularly for fine and middle
qualities of cloths. The present demand is principally
confined to low priced beavers, pilot cloths, and fancy
cloakings. The stocks of goods generally are not large,
-and prices generally are without alteration. Business
:still continues very dull in the warehouses, although a
little better than it has been during the last few weeks.
Tr' ADE OF HOL3IFIRTH.—The clothiers in this district
report very unfavourably of the market on Tuesday,
:and there are no symptoms of improvement yet appa-
rent in the manufacturing departments.
BRADFORD MARKET, THURSDAY.—The continued fine
w‘mther, and the prospect of an auspicious harvest, have
ev '.dently tended to cheer the minds of our merchants,
vtlo appear to be actuated with the impression that the-
autumn trade will be fully an average, and are purchasing
n. ore freely, and the piece market is only barely sup-
pl ied with Orleans cloths, Parisian figures, and other
fa icy articles, which are ready sale, and late prices fully
m.tintainvd. We learn that more inquiries are trade for
ya ins, likewise more sales effected than for some weeks
pa ; yet we cannot hear of any improvement in prices,
to induce the spinners to extend their operations. The
we of market continues to be well supplied with all kinds
of English wools, as also a large quantity of colonial,
fri 1111 the auction sales just oriel]. The spinners still
coitfinue to purchase very sparingly, and what sales are
din ted are at a slight reduction.
MADE OF BARNSLEY .—The improvement in the trade
of tide town, and respecting which there was a current
rumour last week, proves to be in some measure correct.
The increase in the manufacture of fancy drills is more
in anticipation of the market, than arising out positive
ur ders received ; but the orders for other branches of the
it. aamfactures at this place are sensibly increased ; and it
is satisfactory to state, that upwards of sixty families
hi pre ceased to depend on the relief fund in consequence.

diffidence, that the second column s for persons
who occupy their own houses, and who, having no rent
to pay, to be inserted in the first column, are required to
insert in the second, the value Of the house, as an equi-
valent on which the tax may be levied. The subject,
however, is full of legal mystery.-,-}:n. Sun.]
