MANUFACTURING AND WOOL

MARKETS.

MANCHESTER TRADE, Ana. 2.—We are gratified to be
enabled to state that every branch of business in this dis-
trict appears healthy. The Yarn Market is still buoyant, and
at prices that must satisfy even the most diisatisfied of our spin-
ners. The Cloth Market was on Thursday very animated,
and a heavy business done in domestic cloth and 40-inch shirt-
ings at advanced rates, and many makers of 40's shirtings are
engaged for all they can produce for the next two months,
at an advance of 3d. per piece upon the prices current a
few weeks back. The printers are also better employed, al-
though this branch of trade is more depressed than any other in
the neighbourhood. Another shipper has failed at Liverpool,
and his creditors, we are sorry to say, are nearly all Manchester
ones. 27-inch 66's may be quoted ss. to ss. 5d.: and 72's,
ss. 9d. to 6s. 3d. 40-inch 66's, 81b. lOog. to 91b. weight,
9s. 9d. to 10s. 6d. _ _

HALIFAZ TRADE, Also. 2.—Stuff goods are in general de-
mand. Wool is on the decline, except the finer qualities,
which keep up in price; and the better quality of Noils have
somewhat advanced, being in general demand.
LEEDS TRADE, AUG. 2.—Our Cloth markets, like the Corn
markets, are just now ruled by the state of the weather. The
few fine days we had at the latter end of last week caused lively
markets both on .zaturday and Tuesday. The demand was
principally for beavers, pilot cloths, heavy tweeds, fancy cloak-
ing', and shawls, the stocks of which are very light to meet the
season, and prices are firm, but without any advance. More
buyers have beet► in the town during the past week, and, in con-
sequence, business has been pretty good in the warehouses.
HUDDERSFIELD TRADE, JULY 29.—The activity of this
day's market, and also of the warehouses during the week, has
has been on an equal scale of extent to those of the past few
weeks. The Wool market is very brisk.
LEEDS WOOL TRADE,I AUG. I.—Foreign.—There has
been no apparent change in this branch of business since our
last report. Sales to a certain extent have been effected, and
recent rates are firmly supported. English.—We have not
much alteration to notice this week. The demand still con-
tinues steady and prices firm. Low clothing wools are scarce,
and very much inquired for.
ImrouTs or W00t..--Entered at Hull for home con-
sumption during the week ending July 24.—Hamburgh,
1,260,7951 b. ; Konigsberg, 1,5431 b. ; Ant werp, 2,888111. ;
Petersburgh, 100,9161b.—Total, 1,365,0421 b.

The raising of the deposit on projected railways to
10 per cent. is generally looked upon as a wholesome measure,
as likely to have the effect of deterring from speculation all who
merely intend to make a profit by the speedy resaie of their al-
lotments—that is to say, all who, in modern parlance, are
called " stags." On the other hand, some are of opinion that
the measure, in its present form, gives too much power to the
promoters of a scheme, by placing in their hands a sum of money
twice as large as that which they would have commanded under
the former system. It is suggested by a correspondent, that if
the money were to be paid directly into the Court of Chancery,
it would be a great imprcvement to the plan, as the share-
holders would then be efficiently protected.— Times.
[ADVERITSEMENT.]—AII Extraordinary Cure Of
a Diseased Knee of Ten Years' Standing, by Holloway's Pills
and Ointment !—Mr. Edward Perryns, residing at No. 21,
Fargate-street, Worcester, is now cured of an abscess on the
knee and a stiff joint, which had been bad for ten years, indeed,
ever since he was fourteen. He had lost from the knee joint
several pieces of bone, one being two inches in length. He
had been under the mos' eminent of the faculty in Worcester,
and at last was told that his leg must be amputated, as a cure
was quite impossible! A perfect cure has been effected in this
hopeless case by these wonderful medicines. Sold by all
chemists and by the proprietor, 244, Strand, London. •

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Aug. 4.
(Before Mr. Commissioner HOLROYD.)
IN RE CHAMBERS AND CO.

A meeting was held this morning for the audit of the ac-
counts of Messrs. Chambers and Son, formerly of South
Molton-street, and Bond-street, bankrupts.
The fiat was issued nearly twenty years ago, and from that
time to the present, litigation to a great extent has been carried
on. but which it now appears is likely to terminate in the pay-
ment of a dividend, and a winding up of the affairs.
The proceedings of the audit were not of a public nature ;
but it was stated that the funds in hand, the bulk of which was
from the proceeds of the Opera House estate, applicable fur a
dividend was 100,0001.
The proceedings taken against Mr. Wilton, formerly soli-
citor to Mr. Chambers, have been so frequently before the
Courts and the public that Mr. Wilton had threatened to eject
the tenants of the Chettle estate, of which Mr. Wilton was
trustee, under the marriage settlement of Mr. and Mrs. Chain-
; bens. Since the last audit an order of commitment bad been
made by the Lord Chancellor, in consequence of-his not having
entered up satisfaction on judgments obtained against the
estate. He had refused to do so, but had re-registered four
j'sdgments, amounting to 21,000/. A printed letter was ex-
tensively circulated containing some correspondence between
Mr. Wd'on and Messrs. Few and Co. in explanation, and an
offer to come to terms. Ha had given notice of his intention
to publA the correspondence, i.nd attend before the Learned
Commissioner to explain pursonally, but did not do so.
