STATE OF TRADE.

BRADFORD, TilUrSday.—WOOL-MARKET.—The demand
for deep-grown combing Wool continues active at our late
quotations, but the finer sorts from down fleeces are dull of
bale. Short Wool is in greater request, at prices slightly
improved. Bristol Wool fair terminated last week more fa-
vourably to the growers than the consumers, as the prices
realized were a little higher than was anticipated. A consi-
derable amount of short skin was bought up very freely at
improved rates.—Yarn Market.—We cannot learn of any
material alteration in this branch of _ trade, as some of the
mills continue to be only partially employed. In prices no
change. The piece market does not appear to have had that
buoyancy that we have witnessed for some time past, yet
there is still a moderate business doing. In the warehouses
we learn that there is considerable activity, but not more
than is usual in September of former seasons. Prices with-
out alteration.
LEICESTER.—Being now in the midst of the season for the
3r. of course a considerable business is
far from being in a healthy con-
dition. The manufacturers complain that it is scarcely pos-
sible to obtain on goods the late advance on the rawmaterial,
and it has had the effect of throwing out of employment some
of the weavers, the manufacturers not choosing to increase
stocks at the late small advance. Wool is firm, and low
wether sorts and skin-comb very ready of sale. Worsted has
advanced 4d. per lb.
LEEDS CLOTH MARKET.—We have much satisfaction in
reporting that the demand for goods at the markets since our
last has been more extensive than has been known for a long
time past. The principal demand is for goods of a medium
and inferior quality ; and there was nearly as much business
done in the White Cloth-hall as in the Mined or Coloured-
hall. The stock of balk goods in the Mixed Hall has for
some time been very small, but after the market on Tuesday
it was still further denuded ; so that if the demand should
continue the advantage will be immediately felt by the ope-
rative classes in the manufacturing districts.

It is very generally believed that the Right Hon. Thomas
Lefroy, M.P. for the University of Dublin, will be elevated
to the peerage, in which event there will be a vacancy in the
representation of the University ; when Mr. George Alex-
ander Hamilton, late member for the City of Dublin, will
offer himself as a candidate to the electors, and will be
returned without any opposition.

Mr. Alderman Thompson, late M.P. for Sunderland, who
is a native of the county of Westmorland, has resigned his
seat to allow himself to be put in nomination for the vacancy
in that county consequent upon the elevation of Lord Low-
ther to the peerage. Mr. Thompson has sat for Sunderland
since April, 1833, and was very warmly respected by his
constituents, who lose his immediate valuable services with
universal regret, but the trading and commercial interests of
the country, will still in the House of Commons have the ad-
vantage of the worthy Alderman's active business habits and
sound commercial knowledge, as his election for Westmor-
land is certain.
