STATE OF TRADE

MANCHESTER, JUNE 15.—There has been a fair amount
of business done during the last week, both in goods and
yarn ; the effect of which has been to render prices some-
what more steady than before, but without causing any ad-
vance. The improvement would probably have been more
marked, had it not been checked by an extensive failure in
the spinning business, which took place at the latter end of
last week, and has caused a good deal of regret and appre-
hension.

ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET JUNE 14.—There has
been another dull and listless market, with very little busi-
ness transacted, and that little at ruinous prices to the ma-
nufacturer. The wool market has been upon a par with the
piece market.

HUDDERSFIELD, JUNE 15.—This market was rather more
animated than for several weeks past. Buyers were more
numerons, who purchased rather extensively ; but prices
have not improved. In wools there was a little more de-
mand, and prices rather firmer. The warehouses exhibit a
slight improvement ; and some large American houses very
brisk. Still, trade may be considered as being at a ruinous
ebb.

MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE.—On the evening of Satur-
day last, a fatal accident occurred at Inverness, which has
deprived the town of one of its most worthy and respected
tradesmen, and inflicted upon another an injury from which
he will not speedily recover. A new three-story-house has
lately been in course of erection at the upper end of Cas-
tle-street. The mason-work is finished ; and, on the even-
ing in question, Mr. Gordon, mason, and Mr. Macphail,
carpenter, ascended to the top of the building, to survey the
preparations for the roof. The plank on which they stood
had, it appears, been partly sawn through, and incautiously
used for the scaffolding. They had no sooner walked on to
it than the plank gave way, and both were precipitated from
a height of thirty feet. Mr. Macphail fell on his back and-
was so severely fractured and bruised, that he died in about
four hours. Mr. Gordon alighted on his feet, but the knee-
joint of one of his legs was dislocated. A third party, Nicol
Ferguson, who had also ascended to the top of the building,
on seeing the others fall, got hold of a beam, to which he
clung, and was saved.—Scottish Standard.
