STATE OF TRADE.

• Leaps=—The markets since our last have been very good,
the sates having been fully as extensive as in any week for
some time past, and prices in a high ratio. The merchants'
establishments are generally busy, and the workpeople pretty
fully employed.
BRADFORD MARKET.—The demand for goods, on Thurs-
day, was very brisk, and there was an average quantity of
business done ; indeed, the extension of transactions was
checked by the demand of the manufacturers for improved
prices, especially in six-quarter merinos, both of figured and
inferior qualities. In the yarn market prices were firm, and
the demand good; and there was a fair business done in
wool at former prices, which, however, manifest a tendency
upwards.
HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, on Tuesday, was again a busy
one, and extensive purchases were made, especially when
they could be effected at former or slightly advanced prices.
Wool was firm, and in fair demand.
HALIFAX MARKET, on Saturday, was not quite so brisk
as on some recent market-days; but there was a fair demand
for goods, and prices were fully maintained. For fine last-
ings advanced prices were obtained, the supply not being
equal to the demand.

lIECKNIONDWIKE.—The blanket trade has not been so
brisk for the last few market days as previously, and although
the price of wool does not decline, blankets do not maintain
the prices they ought to do.

DEWSBURY BLANKET MARKET.—There was a rather bet-
ter demand for blankets and druggets at this market on
Monday, but though prices were firm there was little or no
advance.

WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET. JULY 6.—The demand
keeps good for all combing wools, and the stock at market
being light, we are enabled to make a further small advance
on last week's prices. No alteration in low carding wools,
which are in demand; the better qualities are still neglected.
YORK WOOL MARKET, JULY s.—The supply of wool to
this day's market has been the largest that has been seen on
Peasholm Green for some years past. We have also had a
many buyers, but the trade has been very languid indeed,
and a large proportion remains over unsold. The conse-
quence has been, that lower prices have been submitted to,
and the transactions of the day may be quoted at—For all
hog, 16d to 17d; half hog and ewe, 14d to 151 d; all ewe,
13d to 14d; locks and cots, 7d to 9d per lb.
DONCASTER WOOL. MARKET, JUNE 30.—Our wool market
this day- presented an abundant supply of that commodity,
nor was the attendance of purchasers less than at any,pre-
vious fair this season. There was a dulness throughout the
trade, particularly in low qualities; and at the close some
quantity remained unsold. A reduction took place, but of
so trifling a nature, that our quotations of last week are sub-
joined.—Hogs, 19s 6d; hog and ewe, 18s; ewe, 16s; locks,
8s 64 per stone. We understand that Mr. Short, of Martin,
sold a lot of very superior hog wool for 22s per stone; and
Mr..J. Hutton, of Branton, some two-thirds hog and ewe at
20s 6d.

HOPS.—EAST RETFORD, JULY s,—We have uo improve-
ment to report respecting the growing hops; on the contrary,
there is a great accession of filth, and the fly is much mole
numerous, besides, the honey-dew in many parishes is acting
very injuriously upon the plant, so as to give occasion for
fearing the smut.

We are informed that the Crown Prince of Bavaria has
been for some days incoy. in London. What is the import-
ant nature of his business ? Why is it that he did not honour
the Coronation of our Queen with his presence ? Is he here
on a matrimonial speculation, or has an instalment of the
Greek Loan more attraction iu his eyes?—Post
