STATE OF TItADE

HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.--Though a fair extent of
business was done to-day, it was scarcely equal to that of last
week for any kind of goods; but as stocks were by no means
large, it produced no effect on prices. The demand appears
fully equal to the make.

WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET.—Our manufacturers are
very shy in their purchases, and in consequence prices are
difficult to quote. The staplers, however, are not pressing
with their stocks, and it would seem that a little time must
elapse before buyers and sellers will adopt similar views as to
prices.

11.11. wax, SATURDAY.—Things have been unusually dull
to-day which, considering the briskness in our neighbouring
markets, is difficult to account for, but such is thesfact. There
were fewer goods sold to-day than for some time past, though
we are not aware that things are lower; but the manufacturers
are low in spirits.
LEEDS, TUESDAY.—The continued demand in both halls
for some time past, was not experienced to the full extent
to-day. Neither our merchants, nor the London houses
operated to any great extent. Wool is considered at rather
too high a price to justify purchases, unless to execute orders
in hand, and as the manufacturers themselves anticipated a
fall, every thing is done with great caution.

BR A DFORD MARKET.--The demand for manufactured
goods here, on 'Thursday, was much the same as it has been
for some weeks past, but there was less business done in the
yarn market, owing mainly, it is said, to the absence of many
weavers on their usual harvesting excursions. The demand
for wool was good, and the market was, on the whole, firmer
than of late. Prices have undergone little change.
HECKMONDWIKE.--The Blanket Hall continues to be
regularly attended by the merchants and manufacturers, with
little change in prices or demand for goods.
DONCASTER WOOL FAIR, SEPT. I.—At our first ad-
ditional fair held this day, there was only a small supply of
wool pitched; the attendance of buyers was very numerous,
whose principal inquiry was after short wools. The prices
were decidedly lower than at our August fair, and part was
left unsold. The next and last fair for the season will be
held on the first Saturday in October. The following are the
quotations :—Hog 19s; bog and ewe 17s 6d ; ewe 16s to 16s 6d
per stone ; Locks 82d der Id.
CHESTERFIELD WOOL MARKET, SEPT. 6.—The wool trade
still continues in a very languid and depressed state—buyers
very slack in purchasing—and no business doing of any con-
sequence. The prevailing opinion is, that this article must
experience further diminution in price before any sales of
consequence can be effected.
THE IRON TRADE.—During the last few days, iron has
slightly advanced. All the works in the neighbourhood are
fully employed, and several orders have been refused even at
the present price. A greater advance is talked of; and
should the demand for exportation continue as brisk as dur-
ing the past few weeks, it will probably be obtained.—Bir•
mingliam Herald.
METAL 'TRADE.—The trade has somewhat revived within
the past week or ten days; which has caused a slight rise in
prices. We understand that £B7 has been asked for copper,
which is an advance of £2 per top. Tin is steady at £B7.
Spelter is quoted at from £2l to £22.—Birmingham Advertiser.
