STAIE OF TRADE.

LEEDS.—The increased animation in our markets which we
recently noticed still continues; and as some of our leading
Merchants are busily engaged i, i their warehouses till late hours.
the effect is felt in both the Cloth Hall;. A good deal of busi-
,ness is new doing for the American trade, principally, we a e
happy to say, in the finer sorts of cloth, which lequir a larger
portion of animal and mechanical labour thait the lighter fa-
brics ; and hence there is better employment for the operative
Ricans.
_,HEADFORD MARKET.—There was a good attendance of mer-
chants at this market on Thursday, who bought rather freely,
notwithstanding wh ch prises were not quite so firm a, of late,
the prices of Yarn and of Wool having within the last few days,
e_
some cause not ful y explained, lost something of their
previous elasticity. Yarns met :ather be ter sale at the reduc .d
rates, but there was not a corresponding degree of activity in the
Wool market.
HUDDERSFIELD MARKET.—The trade of th's district still con-
"J
it_ules brisk. On Tuesday there was a full average attendance
of buyers, and as stocks are low pries were kept up. There is
I,kll increasing demand for plain cloths, but any new styles in
'ant goods are bought up with avidity. Nothing new in the
Wool market.
HALIFAX MARKET.—The attendance here on Saturday was
good; and as goods are taken off as rapidly as they are turned
out by the manufacturers, late prices are fu ly maintained.
Combing Wools sold free y at recent rates ; but the prices of
Clothing wools of the middle and inferior qualities were not
Quite so firm.
HECKDONDWIKE FLANKET MARKET.—On Monday, the at-
tendanca c f buyers was better than w, have had for s”.me weeks
St, End there was a good business done. On 'I harsday, al-
iouah there were not so many purchas. rs as there were on
Y. there were some considerable orders given out for ex-
POrtation. The blanket weavers in this neighbourhood have
!lade a "strike" for an advance of wages, and we understand
Tat some of the larger manufacturers have consented to give

neral.
RoCRDALE FLANNEL MARKET.—There has been a brisk de-
!mod for flannels to-day, considering that it is the time of the
beer
When this business is usually the flattest. There ha• e not

manufacturers have bought rather freely. The Wool Market is
much the same as it has been for several weeks.

Widths of printing cloths are firm, and stocks in the manufac-
turers h nds were never known to be lighter at this season of
the year; the printers and merchants being also bare of stock,
a further decline is not expected, at least for some months to
come, for several of 'he printers have commenced contracting
for cloth for the autumn. The yarn market is also firmer.
Domestic cloth and fustians are still heavy, with a downward
tendency in priee, but so many manufacturers have-b:rimed- to-
lighter cloths that we hope and exp.
ct they will soon improve.
Next week is a holiday, and business wid nearly be suspended.

HOSIERY AND LACE TRADES.—We are sorry to state that
there is a general damp in the drawer and pantaloon branch.
The fancy silk hose branch has somewhat improved, and the
hands generally are once more employed. The plain silk hose
branch has also improved a shade, especially in Derbyshire, and

GIVING A FALSE DRAUCITIT OF WATER.—At the
Police-court, on Friday, John Hooper, mate of the Caro-
line, was mulcted in the penalty of £5, for having given
a false draught of water to the master of the Coburg
Dock.—Mr. Rushton, in adjudicating, said he had some
idoubts whether he was discharging his duty if he did not
tflict the full penalty of £2O; for if such things were
allowed, property to an enormous extent might be de-
stroyed.

ROBBERY AT THE SARACEN'S HEAD HOTEL.—On the
night of Thursday, or early on the morning of Friday last,
several of the bedrooms at the Saracen's Head Hotel,
Dale-street, were entered, and a considerable amount of
property, belonging to the lodgers in the house stolen.
Amongst the articles taken were a silver watch, a gold
guard chain, a black satin vest, an ivory rule, anew black
coat and trousers, a pair of Wellington boots, and money
to the amount of £7 in notes and silver. The thieves are
supposed to be a man and woman of respectable exterior,
'who slept at the house, and who decamped at an early
hour in the morning.
EMBEZZLEMENT.—On Thursday, at the Police Court,
Patrick Hefrcn was brought up, charged by David Jones,
ginger-beer manufacturer, with having received money
from various parties on his account, and not handing it
over ; • he has also made false entries in the collecting-
"°°k• The prisoner was in the employ of Jones, and on
tle 20th April last he received from a person named Raf-
ferty the sum of £l, and only paid over Ils. Several
Zer instances were also adduced of a similar kind, and
bri.euteplainant stated that he had been defrauded by the
teitner to the amount of £7 or £B. He was committed
it' at the sessions.
