STATE OF. TRADE

LEEDS.—The markets since our last have been rather
better than of late, but the aggregate quantity of business
transacted falls far short of what is usually done at this sea-
son in ordinary years.

BRADFORD MARKET.—There was not so numerous an
attendance of merchants at our market on Thursday, as we
have been.accustomed to see at this season of the year; still
the demand for manufactured goods was nearly as extensive
as could have been expected in the present state,of the com-
mercial world, and prices were considered firm. In the yarn
market scarcely an average business was done at former rates.
The wool market is far from firm, and in the present uncer-
tain state of the wool trade the demand is by no means exten-
sive. In the course of a fortnight, after the principal wool
markets have been held, something like an accurate idea of
the wool trade may be formed, as regards the rate of prices.
HUDDERSFIELD MARKET.—This market exhibited much
the same unsatisfactory aspect as for some weeks past. There
were a few buyers who made extensive purchases, but prices
still remain very unsatisfactory ; and, generally speaking,
the demand is very limited. In light summer goods the de-
mand is greatly lessened, owing to the cold unsettled state
of the weather. In wools there is little doing, and prices
are nominal, and will remain so until the new clip is brought
to market. In the warehouses, there is no change for the
better.
HECKMONDWIRE BLANKET HALL.—We have no better
account togive of the state of trade in this business, the
manufacturers cannot realize a living profit, and the demand
is so contracted that a many looms are unemployed, with but
little prospect of a favourable change.
ROCHDALE MARKET, July 13.--We have had a duller
market, if possible, than that of the preceding week. There
have been very few buyers, and the business done has been
limited in the extreme. Those who, have been obliged to sell
have also been compelled to take less money for their goods.
Wools may be quoted a shade lower.
YORK WOOL MARKET, July 16.—We are again under
.the painful necessity of reporting no improvement either in
demand or price of this staple commodity, but on the con-
trary, a further decline of something near to one halfpenny
per lb. upon this day se'nnight's quotation, viz.--Super Hog,
13d., Good Half Hog and Ewe, 12d., All Ewe, 10d to 11d.,
Locks and Cots, Gd to Bd., Moor Wool, from 5d to 7d.
per lb.
DONCASTER WOOL MARKET, July 11.—The supply of
wool offering this day was again large, with a numerous
attendance of buyers. The business done in the morning
was rather flat, but it rallied again, and eventually the mar-
ket was cleared of wool early. The following are the quota-
tions :—Hog Wool, 15s to 15s 6d. • Hog and Ewe, 13s to
14s 6d. ; Ewe, 12s Gd. to 13s 6d. ; Locks, 7s to Bs.
