STATE OF TRADE.

LEEns.—The markets since our last have been brisk—un-
usually so for the season; and most of the mills are running
full time—a rare occurence at this period of the year. The
stock of manufactured goods is considered low, both in the
merchants' warehouses and in the Cloth Halls. The princi-
pal business doing at present is in execution of foreign orders.
BRADFORD MARKET.—We had a very fair demand for
goods here on Thursday, particularly for moreens, lastings,
and the middle and lower qualities of six-quarter merinos,
the prices of which continue much the same as of late. In
the yarn market there was a good demand for the middle and
inferior sorts, at prices rather looking up. The wool market
was very firm, the sales being chiefly in the lower and mid-
dle qualities of combing wool.
UDDERSFIELD —We hite no material change to note in
the aspect of affairs here. The market on Tuesday was to_
lerably brisk, and most of the clothiers are fully employed.
The prices of wool still continue firm.
WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, DEC. 7.—Without having
that extensive inquiry we experienced in combing wools for
some time previous to the last week, the demand is still
good; and we have to report a full average amount of sales
at firm prices. Low carding wools are the turn dearer, with
a steady demand for the other qualities at former rates.

HECKNIONDWIKE.—The blanket market continues to be
rugularly attended by the merchants and manufacturers, but,
owing to the late wet and stormy weather, few goods can be
finishd for the market.
CHESTERFIELD WOOL MARKET, DEC. s.—We do not find
that we can make any material difference in wool from OUT
report of last week, with the exception that coarser kinds
are rather brisker than what they have been fore some time,
and the prices a little better; the finer descriptions are still
in Food demand, and a fair quantity of business has been done
this week.

INDtGo.—The home trade and exporters have been com-
pelled to pay an advance on October prices of ls. for the
general run, and is. 3d. for picked lots ; but business to any
extent has been prevented by the limited quantity offering for
sale, several of the holders not being inclined to sell at pre-
sent. Spanish commands rather higher prices.

The lighthouse and part of the pier at Ardglass, in the
Bay of Dundrum, which had been nearly completed at an
expense of £26,000, were destroyed by the violence of the
late storms.

COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS AT BOLTON. -- On Wednesday
last, the second meeting of the council took place at the
Town Hall, Little Bolton, C. J. Darbishire, Esq., the mayor,
in the chair. It was declared that one of the aldermen and
one of the councillors had not qualified; and that, if they
neglected to do so before the following day, they would each
be liable to any penalty which the council might choose to
inflict, not exceeding £5O, and a councillor £2O.—A com-
mittee, with respect to the formation of a court of record,
and the domination of borough magistrates, was then ap-
pointed, and the meeting terminated.

LIVERPOOL COLONIAL MARKET, DEC. 7.
