STATE OF TRADE,

ANHESTER.—Business th week has ben very much in-
terM rupteCd
by the electioneeringis engagements.e The transactions
of the week have been small, and prices have, in some cases,
been rather more in favour of buyers. Some slight symptoms
of improvement, however, have been observable during the last
:nithtratchliee
trefervtizli
day or two, which warrant the hope that after the bustle of the
elections is over, a rather better state of things may be expected.

There is no important change tooirtot* a -
and the general hope continuing toicbe4 vactawrivintining firm,

BRADFORD.—WOOl.—The falling off in the demand for all
kinds of Combing Wools, which we noticed in our last, is fully '
borne out during the past week, the prices sought acting as a
complete barrier to sales being effected.—boils and Broken are
ready sale, and late prices :naintained. Yarns.—There is no
marked alteration in the Yarn trade; the production is very
small, anti the prices row current only go to tell against addi-
tional machinery to put to work, till either the prier of Wool
recedes, or that of Yarns is much augmented.—Pieces.—This
being the nomination day, also the last Thursday in the month,
the business doing has only been limited ; by the next market
all the borough elections will be closed, and we hope to see the
month of August open with that briskness which is usual in
former seasons.

HALIFAX.—The attendance in the Piece Hall, on Saturday,
was unusually slender, and scarcely any business was trans-
acted. In Yarn, also, we have experienced another week of
extreme dulness; but prices remain without alteration, owing
to the firm way in which Wool is held. The Wool market con-
tinues barely supplied, and the staplers are firm in price.
HUDDERSFIELD.—Ourmarket this week was not so animated
as it general'y is at this season of the year, but it is principally
to be attributed to political excitement, and not for the want of
demand ; as great confidence is expressed both on the part of
manufacturers and merchants.

ROCHDALE.—We had another good market this week ; and

for all sorts of manufacturers' goods, at former rates. The
wool market begins to improve; foreign wools ha, e been sold
at a shade lower in prices than a week or ten days ago, but
brokes and skins continue scarce, and maintain former prices.
