STA'L'E OF TRADE

MANCHESTER, JUNE 15.—There has been a fair amount
of business done during the last week, both in goods and
yarn ; the effect of which has been to render prices some-
what more steady than before, but without causing any ad-
vance. The improvement would probably have been more
marked, had it not been checked by an extensive failure in
the spinning business, which took place at the latter end of
last week, and has caused a good deal of regret and appre-
hension.
ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, JUNE 14.—There has
been another dull and listless market; with very little busi-
ness transacted, and that little at ruinous prices to the ma-
nufacturer. The wool market has been upon a par with the
piece market.
HUDDERSFIELD, JUNE 15.—This market was rather more
animated than for several weeks past. Buyers were more
nutnerons, who purchased rather extensively ; but prices
have not improved. In wools there was a little more de-
mand, and prices rather firmer. The warehouses exhibit a
slight improvement ; and some large American houses very
brisk. Still, trade may be considered as being at a ruinous
ebb,

MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE.—On the evening of Satur-
day last, a fatal accident occurred at Inverness, which has
deprived the town of one of its most worthy and respected
tradesmen, and inflicted upon another an injury from which
he will not speedily recover. A new .three-story-house has
lately been in course of erection at the upper end of Cas-
tle-street. The mason-work is finished ; and, on the even-
ing in question, Mr. Gorden, mason, and Mr. .Alacphail,
carpenter, ascended to the top of the building, to survey the
preparations for the roof. The plank on which they stood
had, it appears, been partly sawn through, and incautiously
used for the scaffolding. They had no sooner walked on to
it than the plank gave way, and both were precipitated from
a height of thirty feet. M. Macphail fell on his back and
was so severely fractured and bruised, that be died in about
four hours. Mr. Gordon alighted on his feet, but the knee-
joikt of one of his legs was dislocated. A third party, Nicol
Ferguson, who had also ascended to the top of the building,
on seeing the others fall, gOt hold of a beani, to which he
clung, and was saved.—Scottish Standard.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, JUNE 17.
There is a very general belief that the conservatives will be shortly
in power. The bare idea has created an extraordinary degree of
confidence among holders .of Butter, and indeed generally in the
Provision trade. We notice no desire to accept of lower prices for
Butter bearing a respectable brand ; and heavy and good Beef and
Pork, steadily support our last quotations. Bacon is in demand,
and 57s for prime meat is to be had. We understand that a few
hundred barrels of American Beef have been returned to t h
States ; the quality and colour rendering it unsaleable in th
country.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, JUNE 15.
(From the Circular of Messrs. James Scott 6. Son.)
Since this day week the imports of Wheat from foreign ports
have again been pretty considerable, but of this article and of all
other Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal, from Ireland and Coastways,
they have been trivial ; the scarcity of fine fresh Wheat, and Flour
has caused a little improvement in the demand at an an advance of
ad to 3d per 701 b on the former, and of Is to Is 6d per barrel and
per sack on the the latter; but for all other articles sales have been
ve, y limited at about last quotations.
The only alteration in the duties since Friday last is an increase
of is 6.1 per qr. on Barley, Indian Corn, anti Buck Wheat ; a cargo
of Vismar and another of Odessa Wheat are reported to have
changed hands, in bond, the' former at about tis 2d, the latter at
about 5s per 75 lb, and a cargo of fine fresh Wheat just arrived
from Odessa has been sold, duty paid, at about 88 sd per 70 lb.
prime parcels of Flour have also Sound buyers, in bond, at 22s 6d to
23s per barrel; in all other articles, in bond, there has been very
little done.
The weather for some weeks past has been too cold and dry for
the crops of Grain and the pastures, but favourable for securing
the hay harvest, now generally commencing.
At this day's market we haye had a very good attendance of
town and country millers and dealers, who bought more freely of
Wheat and Flour at the above-named advance, and of other articles
also to a limited extent at about our last quotations.
