STATE OF TRADE.

( From the Leeds Isttelligesecer.)
LEEDS.—The improvement which we noticed last week still
continues, but the late severe weather is considered as having
some drawback upon the demand for goods tic having impeded
the means of communication. At present, however; the state
of the weather seetn4 to indicate immediate relief in this parti-
cular.

BRADFORD MARKET.—The demand for goods on Thursday
seemed to he fully as extensive as for some time past, ).et the
sales effected did not not attain that pioportion, owing to the
merchants refusing fo offer such prices as the ma,nfacturers
rlerned remunerative. There was an average bitsineel done in
the }arn"market, the principal*purchases tieing for immediate
consumption, but several of the piece-makers'held tiff, in the
hope trtat the opening of the channels of communication, by
increasing. the means or supplying the raw material, would
diminish the price. In the wool market ibere was, of course,
very little dune, the quantity of Wool on sale being remarkably
small.

FIUDPEFIfiLD MARKET.The 4erparl4 for fancy Roods here
on'Tuesday, was tolerably brisk, but there. }vas very little busi-
ness.4ope in pkin cloths atia wools.

,H ALIEAX MARKET, Fae. 21.—Business is still sufferimg
from the continued severity of the weather, and we have less
doing both in wool and manufactured- goods, but there is no
diminution in the value of erther. The prices realised for seve-
ral weeks past are fully maintained.
DawsauttY.—The demand for blankets at.nur Piece Hall,
on Monday, was rather flat, the dullness• being generally attri-
buted to. the state of the wool market. The prices offered for
goods, though fully equal to those recently obtained, were not
•cdnituensurate with the increased cost of the raw• Material;
hence the manufacturers were reluctant to effect sales.
RocHnatit FraNrszt;- MARKET, Fan. 26.--There_ has been
more • businessldone,in the market to-day than on the previous
Monday.; and the demand for flannels; of the coarser kind, has
been brisk ; bat there is no improvement in prices; indeed: it
is said, that in come cases. less money has been given.; The
wool market here still continues •flat ; and there appears no de-
sire, on the part of the manufacturers, to purchase at the pre-
sent prices,_

BURY.—The woollen business is improving. The, hands in
iron-foundries have full work, and good wads are given.—
Mechanics and machine-makers have pretty fair of work, and
calico block and machine printing is a little better.
LANCASHIRE SILK TRADE.—The silk we.vers have full em-
ployment. This week a great number of ffesh reels have been
given out of almost every description. Wages contintie low,
hut some masters are giving a trifle more if work is taken to
the warehouse in a certain time.

LErcEsTOß.—The demand for goods is flat, and we are sorry
to hear that some manufacturers are turning off hands. The
