STATE OF TRADE.

LEEDS.—No particular alteration in our markets. Business
pretty steady, and a fair quantity doing; prices are also more
fixed.

BRAPFORD.—NO change in the piece market on Thursday.
Wools are in demand, especially hog wool, which gets up, but
lower qualities, generally, are giving way. The yarn market is
somewhat uneasy: as the prices are too low for the price of woo).,
Stocks of this article have of late considerably reduced ;. but the
manufacturers stand out against the advance which allthe spin-
ners say ought to take place.
HALlFAX.—Lasting warps have advanced five shillings: in
all other respects prices are stationary li•th for goods and yarns.
Goods go off as fast as they are made; and some manufacturers
are busily engaged with considerable orders. Hog wool is scarce,
and very high.
HUDDERSFIIILD.---liVith the exception of coarse cloths for
padding, and some kinds of fancy goods, the market on Tuesday
was slack. Wool steady.
HIICKMONDWIKE.—The blanket markets are fully employed
with orders for the American market, which will probably keep
busy for six weeks, or two months to come.
Rock DALE, APRIL 7TH.—Our market this week has not been
brisk—the buyers were not at all anxious to purchase, and it
was with difficulty that prices could be upheld. The stock of
goods is rather accumulating, and this operates against the
manufacturer, and makes him less independent. The wool
trade too was not lively, and prices could scarcely be main-
tained.

MURDER.—On Friday week, a young mason lad belongingto
Biggar, travelling in the neighbouring parish of Carmichael,
went into an ale-house at Ridgeside colliery and had some liquor.
Four suspicious-looking strangers came in awl had some drink
also. Iu the course of the evening the mason happened to
make an uncalled for display of a parcel of bank notes, b.it
nothing further of a particular nature took place, and he soon
left the house to proceed on his journey. Next morning, when
the colliers went to begin their work, they were surprised and
shocked at finding the mangled and lifeless body of the mason
lying at the bottom of the pit. An alarm having been given
through the neighbourhood, and an examination made by the
authorities, it was found that the money was missing from the
lad's pocket, as was also his watch; and the four strangers, ap-
parently Englishmen, have been apprehended and lodged in
Lanark gaol, on suspicion of being guilty of both robbery and.
mnrder.—Scotti4h Guardian.
