STATE OF TRADE.

(From the Leeds Intelligencer.)
TRADE OF LEEDS.—There has been a slight improvement in
the demand for goods since our last; yet the state of the markets
is deemed very unsatisfactory. The sales in the warehouses for
the London market haVe been more extensive daring the week,
than of late, and there have been several buyers from The Dublin
and Belfast markets, which have caused a little bus►le in certain
quarters.
BRADFORD MARKET.—The transactions in manufactured
goods at this market on Thursday were very similar to those of
last week, and prices remained pretty stationary. For yarns
there was a better demand, but remunerating prices were scarcely
obtained; and very little was the alteration which took place in
the wool market, either as to supply or demand.

lII'DIIfiIISFIELD.—The transactions at this market on Tues-
day were by no means extensive ; the sales being chie'Lly limited
to checks, fancy trousers pieces and kerseys. Not much busi-
ness was done in plain cloths ; and the wool market was report-
ed to be not quite so firm as for some time past.
HALIFAX, Arum 28.—There has been a fair quantity of
goods sold in our Piece I-fall to-day, and the price of the last
two weeks fully maintained. There is little or no alteration in
Wool, but more business is doing.

WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, MAY 4.—We have hut little
variation to report in the market this week ; if any, it is that
there has been rather more business done in the light and fine
descriptions of combing wool, with moreinquiry for low carding
wools ; for all other sorts the demand is dull.

DEWSBURY.—The attendance of buyers at our Blanket Hill
on Monday was very limited; consequently. the transactions
were few, and there was no improvement in prices.

SA DDLEWORTIL—The woollen cloth trade has not been in
such a depressed stale for several years past ; a great number
of dyers, sp►nners, and weavers are entirely without work, and
others have not half employment, yet we are glad to state that
manufacturers say they will not reduce wages. There are no
prospects of amendment at Present.
LEIOESTER.—We have nothing• new to report. Trade con-
tinues, as for some time past, very flat, and few goods are
making.—Leicester Chronicle.

SILK AND COTTON WEAVING.—SiIk weaving, of almost
every description for ten miles round Manchester, is consider-
ably slacker. On Friday and Saturday last several of the small
manufacturers were offering md. per yard less wages for figured
sarsenets. The larger manufacturers declare there is no oc-
casion to reduce wages, and they are givingold prices; figured
work and handkerchiefs are brisker than other sorts. It is said
there are nearly two thousand plain sarsenet weavers entirely
out of work, besides a great number who have not more than
half employment. Cotton hand-loom weaving of nankeens,
ticks, and ginghams is exceedingly dull—many hands are with-
out work—wages are miserably low. Toilinets, a cotton warp,
and woven with wonted, are very brisk, but the prices paid for
weaving are extremely low.
IRON TRADE.—WC have been informed that orders have
been given out this week for 12,000 tons of iron rails,-10,000
for export,to America, and 2,000 tons for consumption at home,
and that several other extensive orders are about to be given for
iron rails and chairs, for railway& now forming in this country
