STATE OF TRADE.

LEEns.—The markets since our last have been brisk—un-
usually so for the season; and most of the mills are running
fon time—a rare occurence at this period of the year. The
stock of manufactured goods is considered low, both in the
merchants' warehouses and in the Cloth Halls. The princi-
pal business doing at present is in execution of foreign orders.
BRADFORD MARKET.—We had a very fair demand for
goods here on Thursday, particularly for moreens, lastings,
and the middle and lower qualities of six-qua,rter merinos,
the prices of which continue much the same as of late. in
the yarn market there was a good demand for the middle and
inferior sorts, at prices rather looking up. • The wool market
was very firm, the sales being chiefly iu the lower and mid-
dle qualities of combing wool.
DUDDERSFIELD —We have no material change to note in
the aspect of affairs here. The market on Tuesday was to-
lerably. brisk, and most of the clothiers are fully employed.
The prices of wool still continue firm.
WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, DEC. 7.—Without having
that extensive inquiry we experienced in combing wools for
some time previous to the last week, the demand is still
good; and we have to report a full average amount of sales
at firm prices. Low carding wools are the turn dearer, with
a steady demand fur the other qualities at former rates.

HECKMONDWIKE.—The blanket market continues to he
rugularly attended by the merchants and manufacturers, but,
owing to the late wet and stormy weather, few goods can be
finished for the market.
CHESTERFIELD WOOL MARKET, DEC. s.—We do not find
that we can make any material difference in wool from out
report of last week, with the exception that coarser kinds
are rather brisker than what they have been fore some time,
and the prices a little better; the finer descriptions are still
in good demand, and a fair quantity of business has been done
this week.

INoroo.—The home trade and exporters have been com-
pelled to pay Rn advance on October prices of Is. for the
general run, and Is. 3d. for picked lots; but business to any
extent has been prevented by the limited quantity offering fur
sale, several of the holders not being inclined to sell at pre-
sent. Spanish connuands rather higher prices.

The lighthouse and part of the pier at Ardglass, in the
Bay of Oundrum, which had been nearly completed at an
expense of £26,000, were destroyed by the violence of the
late storms.

COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS AT. BOLTON. —On Wednesday
last, the second meeting of the council took place at the
Town Hall, Little Bolton, C.J.Darbishire' Esq., the mayor.
in the chair. It was declared that one of the aldermen and
one of the councillors had not qualified; and that, if they
neglected to do so before the following (lay, they would each
be liable to any penalty which the, council might choose to
inflict, not exceeding £5O, and a councillor £2O.—A com-
mittee, with respect to the formation of a court of record,
and the nomination of borough magistrate, was then ap-
pointed, and the meeting terminated.

LIVERPOOL COLONIAL MARKET, DEC. 7.
SUGAR.—The rapid improvement which has taken place in the
London market has caused increased briskness in the demand here,
1800 hhds Britisn Plantation have been disposed of, at an advance,
at the close of the week, of fully 25. per cwt on all descriptions,
and the trade are still disposed to buy at the advanced quotations.
Bengal have afso particapated in the improvement, 1500 bags hay-
ing been sold at 693. to 70s. for very fine white, and 70s. 6d. for
ordinary yellow. Nothing done in Mauritius. There has been a
good demand for Foreign Sugar, and 220 cases white Bahia have
been disposed of at :?os. to 285., and a few cases good dry white
Pernams at 291. to 30s. per cwt., also 1460 bags Manilla, the price
of which has not been allowed to tra spire.—The demand for Mo-
lasses continues, and about 350 puns have been sold at 295. 6d. for
old Barbadoes, and 30s. per cwt. for good Demerara.—Coffee.—
The sales of Plantation continue limited. and do not exceed 100
casks of Jamaica; no change in prices. Of Foreign, 500 bags Brazil
were sell, chiefly at 425. for good ordinary.—No sales in Cocoa,
Ginger. or Pimento ; there continues a good demand for Pepper,
and 1100 bags have been sold, at 4d. for light, W7(l 41d to 4/ per lb.
for heavy.-41ice is scarce, and much inquired for; the sales are
limited to 700 bags of good East India at 19s. 6d. per cwt., with 100
bags dressed at 235, 6d., and 1400 bags Paddy at Ils. 6d. per cwt. in
