STATE OF TRADE

LEEDS.—The business in the cloth-hall continues ex
tremely dull ; and we are sorry to add that matters are quit
as cheerless in the warehouses, Until the existing monetarl
derangements and pressure are in some degree got over,
will be in vain to expect any material improvement. WE
believe we may say that the depression of the staple trades
of this district is unexampled.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.—The demand for bulk goods in the
Cloth Halls during the week has been principally for domestic
consumption, in execution of orders for the summer and
autumn trade. For the export trade the purchases have
been very limited, the amount of business doing in that
branch being much less than usual at this season of the year.
BRADFORD.—The demand for manufactured goods at this
market on Thursday was extremely limited, and those sold
scarcely realised former rates. There was, however, a fair
demand for yarns, but the spinners complain of non-
remunerative prices, and several of them in consequence
refrain from running their mills full time. The supply of
wool was larger, particularly the new clip, but from the
dulness of the demand for manufactured goods, the transac-
tions were very few, and late prices were scarcely maintained.
WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET.—We have still to report
a continued depression in the demand for all descriptions of
wool, both combing and clothing ;—the very limited sales
that have been effected are at a further slight reduction in
prices.

YORK WOOL MARKET, July 9.---We have had a fair
supply of wool, and a good attendance of buyers at this day's
market. Still, however, prices have again receded from the
last week's quotations, and many lots were left over to the
next week, unsold.

DONCATER WOOL FAIR, July 6.—This market was again
well supplied with wool, and there was also a good attendance
of buyers. Throughout the day business was flat, and a
further reduction of 4d. per lb. was submitted to, a large
quantity being left in the hands of the sellers.
LEICESTER WOOL. FAIR, July 3.—The annual meeting
for the exhibition of the sale of Wool was held this day. It
was well attended, and the quantity pitched was about
22,000 Fleeces, being less by 6000 than last year. The prices
averaged from 28s. to 30. The Hon Wilson, the president
of the Society, presented Mr. Henry Robinson with a cup
as being the largest buyer, he having bought 900 tod.
LEICESTER.—The demand for goods does not improve,
the season for the home trade not having arrived, and the
American trade being almost nothing. Yarns are without
alteration,.and wool remains firm at from 28s. to 31s. per
tod. Worsted yarn, we understand, is now 2d. per lb. lower
than it was this time last year.—Leicester Chronicle.
IMPORTS OF Woot.—Quantity of Wool entered at Hull
for home consumption during the week ending July 2 :
