STATE OF TRADE.

LEEDS.—We have no alteration to note in the demand for
goods here since our last, though the sales in the Cloth. Hall
have not been quite so extensive as of late,.owing to the par-
ticular periods of the years that they have occurred. The
prices of cloth of ordinary quality still tend upwards, and the
wool market continues firm.

At Bradford market, on Thursday, there was fully as much
business done as is usual at the opening market of the year,
and more goods might have been sold but for the determina-
tion of the manufacturers to hold out for advanced prices.
There was a brisk demand for yarn, and prices rather im-
proved. In the wool market an average quantity of business
was done at late prices, but the staplers are by no means
eager to sell, as they anticipate a further improvement in
prices. ,
There was a better attendance of merchants than of ma-
nufacturers at H uddersfield market on Tuesday, consequently
Most of the goods offered were immediately bought up. The
principal transactions were in stout and light Tweeds, light
fancy Doeskins, and other spring goods, most of which real-
ized improved prices. In the wool market there was nothing
particular to notice; the sales were not quite so extensive as
of late.
At Wakefield Wool Market, on Thursday, the business
done in either long or short wool has nut been extensive, but
the prices of both are very firm, as what is recently given to
the grower is above the rates at present ruling in these
markets. . .
At Chesterfield Wool Market, on Wednesday, the trade in
wool was quite steady, and the demand good—no difference
in prices can be quoted. Although the price of the manu-
factured article is not adequate to the rate of the raw ma-
terial, there is no apprehension that the market will be lower.
The meeting of the ironmasters of Staffordshire was held
at Dudley on 'Thursday last, when it was agreed to advance
the price of iron generally El per ton.
We,are glad to learn that the general trade of the west of
Scotland is in a highly satisfactory position. The revival of
cornmercial activity in the United States has had its natural
effect here. Orders have of late poured in from that country
upon our manufacturers; and now the stocks on hand, par-
ticularly of fancy goods, are lower than have been seen these
two years past. The Americans have, in fact, nearly cleared
us out in severalbranches, particularly in those goods suitable
for the London warehousemen. Manufacturers look forward
to a brisk home trade in the beginning of the year.—Glasgow

LAW IN SOUTH AMERICA —Nowhere in the world, per-
haps—not even in our own Court of Chancery—is there a
anti
despatch tangible means of deciding a difficulty with justice
despatch than in Buenos Ayres, or in South America gene-
rally. A law plea there is a sort of ignis fatuus, which, if
obstinately pursued, is sure to lead all who follow it up—the
gainer as well as the loser—.into the quagmire of ruin at last.
It may be otherwise, indeed, if one of the parties can, at an
early stage of the question, effectually buy justice ; but even
then he gains just so much as the amount contended for, less
the sum expended in the way bribery and corruption.
Justice in South America is sadly tainted with venality, and
the amount of douceur to a judge or to an advocate of the
opposing party, is so nicely measured by the nature of the
case, and of the sum at issue, that a man's gain is rather
what he does not lose. by following up the plea, than what it
profits him to bring it to even a successful teunitation.
