STATE OF TRADE.

LERDS.—Our merchants seem to be fully as busy as they
have been fur the last two or three weeks past, and the work-
men generally are fully employed; we have therefore no
particular change to note in the demand for goods. There
is, however, reason to believe that more business might be
done in winter cloths, Petershams, &c., if they could be sold
rather lower than the present state of the market admits of.
BRADFORD Al A EttiET.—We have still a brisk demand for
manufactured goods of most descriptions, more particularly
fancy articles and plain stuffs for printing. Prices are con-
requently firm. The yarn market was rather more active
on Thursday than of late, but there was no material altera-
tion of prices, wnich rued at former rates. The wool market
was equally firm, and there was no variation in the quantity
of business clone wor!ny of special mention. The recent
wool sales in London terminated with briskness, at prices
larger than the earlier sales, and this seems to have given
considerable buoyancy to the market.

HALIFAx MAi:KET.—We have no alteration to note in
the demand for goods here on Saturday. There was a fair
business done on former terms.

HUDDERSFIELD MARKET.—We had again a very good
demand for both plain cloths and fancy fabrics, and the prices
of the previous week were fully maintained, especially for
woollen goods. The wool market continued firm.

YORK Wow, MARKET, AUG. 30.—Our supply of wool to
this day's market has been good for the advanced period of
the wool season. We have had a fair attendance of. buyers,
and most of the wools shewn have met with takers, but at
slow prices, upon our last quotations.
WAKEFIELD \VOOI MARKET, AUG. 31.—Our manufac-
turers continue to keep out of the -market, and we have in
consequence to report another week of limited sales on long
wools, and our prices for such are in some measure nominal,
as holders in general are indisposed to submit to lower prices.
There is a :Nod demand for all kinds'of short wool, and for-
mer rates are fully supported.

GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY.—The Lord Mayor, as
chairman of the York and North Midland Railway Company,
has this week received a most important communication
from that experienced engineer, Geo. Stephenson, Esq.,
who is now engaged in layi% it a line of railway from
Newcastle to Edinburgh, which must be of the greatest im-
portance to the city -ii. York, as it will preserve us in a direct
line between tne -two ,rreat metropolitan' towns of London
and Edinburgh. '1 here has been an attempt made to carry
the line on the west side of the kingdom, through Lancashire,
but we believe the attempt to obtain any thing like a practi-
cable line has been fruitless. Mr. Stephenson says that he
believes he shall be able to get a line from Newcastle to
Edinburgh, through almost as favourable a line as the York
and 'Midland, both with regard to levels and expense of con-
struction; and that he has not the slightest doubt that the
great thoroughfare from London to Edinbro' will pass
through York, as rip other line can be found equal to it.—
