STATE OF TRADE.

Lisps, TUESDAY.—There has been a comparatively slack
week, few goods, either finished or otherwise, having changed
hands. Should the next arrivals from America bring no
considerable orders, it is thought that the winter will not be
of over so satisfactorily as many anticipated a month ago.
The stillness which exists seems also to have operated on the
wool market, in which department little is doing, and no one
buys but for immediate use.
HUDDERSFIELD, TUEsDA T.—The trade in the hall has not
been much better to-day than last Tuesday. What is want-
* seems to be the usual American orders, which at the pre-
test moment are very scarce. Those engaged in the fancy
Ike are expecting a good business.
BRADFORD, TtlxsoAv.--Foreign orders arriving but slowly,
and many purchases having already been made for the win-
ter, caused less business to be done to-day in our piece mar-
ket. Some attempts were made to buy common goods on
easier terms, but, we think, in no case did it succeed: the
high price of yarns seems likely to prevent it. The demand
for particular sorts of figured goods has in some measure
abated, and such articles are easier to buy. Cloths for
printing, of very fine qualities, are, if anything, rather lower.
Yarns.—There is a continued good demand for yarns at full
prices. Wools.—There is no variation in the value of wools,
and the demand has become steady. Combing wools, (long)
are in demand.

WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET.—Although there has not
been quite so much doing this week, owing to rather exten-
sive sales baying been made during the last three weeks,
still prices are firm, especially for long wool. Short wool is
also in demand at full prices.

INDIGO SA Ls.—The quarterly sale progresses very steadily
and the attendance is good. Most of what is put sells,
and prices are 3s. Bd. to 6s. 6d. for general runs, and 7s. 4d.
for fine shippers. These are as near last sale's prices as need
be Up to the time we left the room, about 1600 chests on
the whole sale had passed the harumer.—London Price Cur-
rent, October 4.
Latettsrsa.—The demand for goods is considered flat for
the season of the year. The wool market is firm, but there
is rather less doing. The demand runs still upon the finer
kinds of combing sorts. The stock of combing wether skin
is not large, and it sells freely at a small advance of price.—
Leicester Chronicle.

THZ ADVANTAGE OF BEING 'TALL,--A young Scotehman,
who the other day was a private in the 92d regiment now sta-
tioned at this island, being so remarkably tall that he was
unable to stand upright in a sentry-box, was in consequence
promoted to the rank of corporal.—Malta Paper.
A GENUINE YANKEE POTATO !—We learn from the Clare-
mont Eagle tbat Mr. Ellis, of West Claremont, has a potato
patch of 30 feet square, the vines of which are one mile in
length, the produce of one single potato, which he had planted
in the middle of May last! It ,vas a large one, of the lady-
finger species, and had 72 eyes.—American paper.
Al ATRISION Y.—The following appeared as an advertise-
ment in the Gloucestershire Chronicle of Saturday last :
