STATE OF TRADE.

LEEDS.—We are happy to be able to report that the im-
provement in the demand for woollens still continues. On
Saturday the business done in the Cloth Halls was much
more extensive than of late, and on Tuesday the sales were
considerable.
BRADFORD MARKET.—There was a fair business done in
the piece market here on Thursday, principally at former
rates, which scarcely underwent alteration. The yarn mar-
ket was very flat, and prices were scarcely maintained. In
the wool market the transactions were limited, and though
the stocks are light, prices had a tendency to decline.
HUDDERSFIELD MARKET.—Our report of this market
last week is equally applicable to-day, there being consider-
able sales effected in most descriptions of goods, especially
in that of fine fancy woollen and waistcoatings of superior
ualities. Prices remain firm, perhaps a little improved.
Considerable activity prevails in the warehouses. Work is
also more plentiful, and the mills are generally working full
time. The price of wools is stationary. Foreign orders are
comparatively few.
WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET.—We are still unable to
quote any improvement in the long wool trade,—the few
sales that are passing average in quantity with what has been
doing for two or three weeks past, and prices are about main-
taiued. Clothing are in fair demand at full quotations.
HECKNIONDWIKE BLANKET HALL.—On Monday last,
there was a good attendance of buyers, and more business
done in consequence. On '1 hursday only two buyers at-
tended. The late wet weather has prevented goods being
dried and finished, consequently few samples are in the mar-
ket, besides which, the present low price of the manufactured
article in comparison to that of wool, makes only the needy
sell. The goods cannot he replaced at the prices given.
BARNSLEY LINEN TRAM—A slight improvement in
the linen trade, we are happy to say, has taken place in this
town. A number of hands have found employment at
several warehouses ; as the summer approaches it is expected
that the trade will assume its usual briskness.
ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MAY 11.—We,haVe had
a very fair demand for pieces again to-day ; and many flan-
nels•have been sold, though at low rates. Wool has fully
maintained the last week's prices, and for nods some little
advance has been asked, though not generally obtained.—
Leeds Intelligencer.
THE IRON Worms.—Wages have declined from 71 to
15 per cent., both at Merthyr and at all the works on the
hills. The reduction, however, will be felt by few except the
improvident. Some classes, unfortunately, are compelled to
suspend work, more or less, owing to the great scarcity of
water.—Birmingham Adrertiser.
In the MARKET for METALS business has been very dull,
but the only decided change in the value of any article is in

CHURCH PASTORAL AID SOCIETY.—The anniversary
meeting of this society was held on Tuesday. in the large
room in Exeter Hall, London, when there was a very nu-
merous and most respectable assemblage of ladies and gen-
tlemen. Among other supporters of the institution on the
platform were the Marquis of Cholmondely, Lord Ashley,
M.P., the Right Revs, the Lord Bishops of Chester, Ripon,
Norwich, and Lichfield, the Venerable Archdeacon Wilber-
force, Mr. Chancellor Raikes, &c.; Lord Ashley took the
chair, and, in an appropriate speech, expressed his gratifica-
tion at the progress the society had made, and the amount of
benefit of which, although only five years in existence, it had
already been productive. The secretary then read the report
of the committee, from which it appeared that the receipts
during the past year were £16,176., being an increase of
£5753. upon the year preceding. To the list of clergy sub-
scribing, 200 names had been added, and 37 auxiliary asso-
ciations had been formed, to which 22 clergymen had given
their services as corresponding members. Grants had been
made to 76 incumbents, having the charge of 534,800 souls,
