STATE' OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER.—Friday evening, Sept 21.—There has been
less doing in goods during the present week, but there is no
alteration in prices. The demand for printing calicoes has
been limited, but it has been quite equal to the supply, and
the manufacturers are not disposed to make any concessions
in prices; the best 27-inch 72's are worth 7s. 6d. to 7s. 71d.
per piece, inferior sorts 7s. 3d. to 7s. Ad.; 66 reed 6s. 9d. to
7s. a piece. The twist market continues flat.—Saterday
evening, Sept. 22.—There has been little if any alteration in
the price of power-loom cloth this week. The same may be
said of band-looms. Yarns are lower; why they are so, no
one can tell. At this season of the year, the latter end of
September, there ought to be a really good trade doing; but
things are flat, and a great many young men are out of em-
ployment. The wiseacre Whigs ought to explain this.
LEEDS.—There is still a tar demand for manufactured
goods, though the markets since our last can scarcely be said
to have been so brisk as they were a month ago. Probably
more would be sold if there were a better assortment in the
market; as the Cloth Halls were scarcely ever known to be
so scantily supplied with bale goods as at present.
HALIFAX.—There is still no life in the market, and though
business is limited in amount, it does not affect prices at
present; but this can hardly be expected to continue without
an improved demand for most goods. There is nothing fresh
to notice either in yarns or wool.
BRADFORD MARKET, SEPT. 20.—Wed.—There has cer-
tainly been less business done in wools to-day, and through-
out the week, than for some time back, but we do not hear
that prices are at all easier. Yarn.—We can note no altera-
tion in this market; the demand is steady, without any
variation in price. Piece.—The general aspect of the market
to-day is pretty much the same as stated in our last report.
In some quarters we hear of slackness; and it is evident that
merchants exercise the greatest caution in making purchases.
No alteration as respects prices.
WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, SEPT. 21.—There has been
another active week for the sale of the middle and ordinary
descriptions of combing wools. There is no feature in the
trade for short wool; prices are steady, with a fair demand.
HUDDERSFIELD, SEPT. 18.—The very animated briskness
which we noticed last week for all kinds of goods bas, it any-
thing, been exceeded to-day. A brisker market was scarcely
ever known for light fancy articles. Coarse cloths for winter
are readily sold. The makers anticipate an excellent trade
this winter.

LEICESTER.—The demand for goods continues much the
same as it has been for the last few weeks. There is a fair
amount of busiuess.doing, but the buyers do not purchase so
freely as usual at this season of the tear. So large a number
of the workmen are employed in assisting to secure the har-
vest, that comparatively few goods are being made, and the
demand for yarns is consequeutly rather slack. The aspect
of the wool market has decidedly implored during the last
ten days. The impression seems to be general that it has
been at the lowest, and there is a much greater disposition
to purchase, and considerable sales have been effected, but
without any advance in price.—Leicester Ceronicte.

Viscount Deerhurst, we regret to state, is lying in a hope-
less condition. His lordship is surrounded by aiarge circle
of relatives.
A " JERI: v Lorin" AND His SPOUSE.—A few days ago
the wife of a " jerry lord" in Manchester eloped with a rival
in trade, taking with her in money and goods about X.lOO, the
property of her liege lord and master, who immediately took
post horses and set off for Liverpool in order to ascertain the
retreat of the runaways. Fancying he was on the wrong
scent he was induced to take the mail to Lancaster, where
he arrivived on Tuesday night. After a little inquiry he
found that a gentleman and lady answering the description
of his wife and the gallant, were staying at a public7house in
the town, to which he repaired early next morning. His
suspicions were converted into certainty on seeing his spaniel
dog, while Fido manifested his joy on seeing his master after
the usual fashion of his race. Having procured the assist-
ance of superintendent Wright, the injured husband broke
open the door of the bed-room in which the guilty pair were,
and obtained restitution of the goods and wearing apparal,
and £75 of the money of which his wife had robbed him.
The misguided woman was deaf to all entreaties to return to
her home and her child, and her husband returned to Man-
chester without her. She is about 30 years of age, we under-
stand, and good looking. Her companion is a married man
of about the same ace, and leaves a wife and family at Man-
'!.4.bi4ar. The following day they set out for Newcastle loge-
Rir--Lancaster G'uardiart.
