STATE OF TRADE.

Litkos.—The trade of Leeds is still flat in all departments,
and a considerable number of persons are out of work. In
the Cloth Halls, on Saturday and Tuesday, the demand was
limited, and mainly confined to heavy goods. In the lighter
articles there is less doing than the season warrants. Some
of the warehouses, however, have effected considerable sales :
hut the fact is, that the currency derangement operates upon
Leeds as well as upon the Cotton districts, though with much
less severity.—Leerls
BRADFORD.—There is little business doing yet in our mar-
kets except for something of a low quality. Mousline de laines
and other fancy things, take pretty well, consequently, the
prices of Yarn, from which they are made, keep up tolera-
bly well; hut the demand for other kinds being so limited,•
and the stocks, we understand not to he small, the tendency
must necessarily be downwards.—lbid.
BRADFORD, Jt LY 18.---Wool MARKET.—There is no im-
provement either in demand or price, and there exists the
same general depression that we noticed in our last reports.
YARN MARKET.—The demand for this article is fully equal
to the production, which is now greatly reduced owing to the
spinners very generally working less hours, or suffering their
machinery to stand till they can see some chance of being re-
munerated. Pt Eck; MARKE:T.--We are unable to report any
material change either in price or demand.—Bradford Ob-
eerver.

WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, JULY 19.--There has
scarcely been anything doing in Long Wools this week—
stocks in them are exceedingly light—and prices nominally
the same as last. Short wools continue in fair demand at
full prices.
Your WOOL MARKET, JULY 18.—To-day being our as-
size week, according to usual custom, we have had a fair sup-
ply of Wool, and a numerous attendance of buyers, most of
the lots pitched have met with takers at prices nominal upon
our last week's quotations.
BLACK RURN.—A downward tendency, both in good's and
yarns has scarcely been avoidable during the past week, not-
withstanding the briskness in the cotton market, and the
nominal advance in the prices reported. It is reasonably ex-
pected, however, that an abundant harvest may be fairly an-
ticipated, more especially, as when realized, it will afford re-
lief to every branch of the manufacturing interest.

LticEsTy.a..---The demand continues dull for the home-
trade. The foreign demand has held on longer than was ex-
pected. On the whole, this season, a fair amount of ship-
ping business has been transacted. The glove and fancy
trades continue brisk ; very few weavers are out of work.
Yarn is without alteration in price, and the wool market con-
tinues the same as last week. The staplers are willing to give
from 33s to :',ss for good farmers' parcels, but it comes slowly
to market at these rates, still sufficiently fast to supply the
present demand. Time gloomy aspect of monetary matters
completely stops all speculation.

Tfig TOTNESS.—The representation of this
borough, ant by the retirement of Mr. Parrott, is likely
to be warmly contested. The friends of the constitution in
church and state are determined to make a grand effort to
wrest one scat at least from the destructive hands, and, for
this purpose,. Charles Barry Baldwin, Esq., who has been
some timein the hold, will immediately hoist the coservative
