STATE OF TRADE

MANCHESTEIL.—The beautiful weather we have had for
the last two or three days has had the effect of cheering the
drooping spirits of all our commercial men ; for, in spite of
the slur cast upon the friends of the Corn Law League, we do
not believe that one individual exists amongst them but is
pleased with the splendid weather we have enjoyed for the
last few days. Although no actual improvement has taken
place in either the demand or price of goods, we find the
spirit of inquiry abroad; and if the fine weather only con-
tinue, confidence will soon be restored, and then we have
hope of an improvement. Many houses are waiting to see if
the new parliament will promise us some commercial reforms
to benefit us. We think that the parliament can do much,
if they be in earnest to accomplish good; but we believe that
the spinners and manufacturers can do more, if they would
only act in concert and imitate the Liverpool tradesmen,
and get the best profit they can, instead of endeavouring to
sell cheaper than their neighbours. The plan in Liverpool
is to get the highest price they can ; but here most men at-
tempt to sell cheaper than others in the same trade. In Li-
verpool tilis week cotton is Ito 4 per pound higher. In
Manchester the price of goods and yarns is stationary; and,
if any quantity of goods must be sold, lower rates have been
taken. Power-loom printers (27-inch) may be quoted, 66's,
5s 3d to 5s 7 d ; 72's, 5s 9d to 6s lid.—Manchester Adver-
tiser.

LEEDS.—We are glad to observe a continued improve-
ment in the demand for woollens. Owing to the firmness of
the wool-market, and the difficulty of realizing any consider-
able advance upon the recent prices of woollen goods, the
clothiers are apprehensive that they will be unable to replace
their stocks on the terms offered, and, as they hold out for
an advance, the amount of sales is to some extent limited.
The want of assortment in the Mixed Cloth-ball is also
another impediment to an extensive business. Still, there
was a very good market on Saturday ; and, on Tuesday. there
was a fair business done, but principally in the White Cloth-
hall.

BRADFORD, THURSDAY.—WOOL-MARKET.—The market
is now well supplied with the stouter sorts of combing wool,
but prices remain unaltered. Downs and fine sorts are still
neglected, at prices disproportionate to the lower qualities of
long wool. We are informed that the sales of colonial wool
now proceeding in London are realising previous prices for
combing ; and clothing wool is a little dearer. Yarn-market.
—The demand for yarns is very similar to several weeks past.
We regret that the unemployed combers, of whom there are
great numbers, have no hope of employment, and the con-
dition of the poorer classes is very distressing. Piece-mar-
ket.—We have had a decided improvement in the weather,
and we are glad to learn that the same will apply to our
market. The merchants appear in better spirits, and more
business has been done. Saxony cloths, Orleans, and figures
are most in demand; not plentiful, and late prices main-
tained.

A deputation from one of the colonies waited, during last
week, on the Duke of Wellington, to explain the object of
their mission to this country. His grace received the depu-
tation with all courtesy, but politely declined hearing their
statement at length, on the ground that there was no proba-
bility that he would personally have to decide thereon. His
grace, however, added his recommendation that they should
remain in London for a week or ten days, when, remarked
the noble duke, there will, doubtless, be a responsible and
efficient colonial minister to appeal to.
