STATE OF TRADE

f,,AIANcaR
•, -sTE a. Nov. 18.—We have little Variation to announce
tlh,,_ae rates which prevailed last Week, beyond a temponry
tribnent which occurred on Tuesday. This was wholly at-
Ey tlllable to the reports which were stated to have been brought
fo4,tvitzerland ; but when the Hibernia arrived, and it was
been at there were no data to support the advance which had
%re grar
anded, the market subsided to the formerr rates. We
votk to notice, that on the whole, the operatives are in good
audhanotwithstanding the turn-out at Ashton, Power-loom
tee ij,l4-100m weavers are pretty generally employed, and we
tard,:n to understand that the hands in the employ of Messrs,
their f`r and Co. have received an advance of to per cent. upon
rates
asrawe4,r wares. Prices may be safely quoted at the same
Lob gave last week.
Ntle,,!•--Iti reporting the continued activity of the Woollen
tent :4 this district, we are happy to say that the improve-
lkdeZdends alike to all branches of the trade ; and if some
%,;44A_011 could be ensured with regard to the hours of ter; have 4t no doubt of a steady business throughout the win-
at present both mills and warehouses
en may be seen fre-
Y lighted up at midnight. A t-hour bill will be very
I just now.
lIRADR
tTS at this MaaxaT.—There was a large attendance of buy-
-444 , ,s market on Thursday, and the transactions were ex-
late but chiefly at previous rates. Yarns sold readily, and
Itoo!ces were fully maintained. There was a good supply of

Yar`rilsng that they were not warranted by the market price of

nsviEtn MARKET.—We had again a brisk market on
lot re./. nearly all kinds of goOtls suitable for the season meet-
ouppli`olY Sale at previous rates. The Wool market was well.
bat as there was a good demand for the raw material,
ti‘vatement of prices Could be effected.
AtipA
On sot X MARKET.—There was a very animated market here.
Aururday, the attendance of merchants eing large and their
h,,,,'-uases numerous. Nearly all kinds of mixtures and other
ter 2 Onds were in. request, and in some few cases rather bet-
bt,,,es were reAsed. The Wool Market was well supplied,
to tivericts
Beare -firm, as it was not considered more than equal
uernan.
Iles, a irIET.,r. WOOL MARKET.—We have had a limited busi-
Zod 031_0g ha all kinds of Combing Wools at full quotations—
batici`P wOol market has a firm aspect for the future, The de-
hav good for blanket and low clothing Wools, and prices
, nPward tendency.
Iken"t RUCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET.--The market has not
116 t hqui.to so brisk as on the preceding Monday, from there
Itlar4vlng been so many buyers in attendance. Some
.of the
toveacturers have realised an advance of two shillings a
Nike,: The merchants, have complained of a few of the
ke%or:2. offering pieces made of inferor wool. This has been
tilit„'9 to on account of the advance in wool, and the cid&
lhat„?' obtaining a corresponding advance in the price of the
kktilactured article. The Wool market still continues dull,
`", Purchases limited ; bet prices are firm.
,THERY AND LACE TRADHS.—There can scarcely be said to
visible alteration in he demand in any of tlile branches
theanufacturers of this district since our last; f any thing
co,ottoil hosiery has improved, and the silk has a shade re-
r4 otrtrl
ect• Still, considering that we are iu the middle of the
~
°f November, the prospect is rather cheering ; and were
Itic branches to take a favourable turn, the town and vici-
ttoptWd then be in a generally prosperous state as respects
nYtnent, but not as respects the wages.—Nottingham Jou-

q"BAR.—VORACIOSNESS OF COD.—We often see
eide.l p„,
es TTin the newspapers in reference to voraciousness of
48h They are particularly accused of swallowing small
1t0..., which it is said are sometimes found whole in their
ittire,hs- The following facts, which are given on the
Sott.°lltY of an eye-witness, may perhaps serve to explain
thil',of these phenomena :—A well-known cadger, in
144014:ace, who seems to understand well the method of
ttv-ning his fish, bought last week a considerable Trani
thre°l lean cod. Before taking them to the country for
by ~.'4,"P Pushed a small haddock down the throat of each.
At'seuloil means they were made to appear as cod of the
hot( quality, nd no dout would make many a good
Bevrife stare and wonder b
at the voraciousness of cod.

WetTEMPT TO ESCAPE FROM PRISON.—One day last
.tolcr" Mr. Jones, the keeper of the be ell at Warring-
Which heard a knocking and scrapin inst the wall,
eig
into adjoins the stable and coach-h e, and on going
Ila° the coach-house he ascertained that a prisoner of the
effect °f Howarth (a notorious burglar) was trying to
waitctliia escape, by making a hole through the wall. He
tokthe,,u io the coach-house for a considerable time, but
the the prisoner made little progress, by the sound of
the scraping. At the usual time he was locked up in one of
the sjeePing rooms, and on Tuesday morning was let into
Dr„taY-yard. Without any notice being taking of his
eo`meedings, Kermode and steel placed themselves in the
apm4ch-hOuse, to watch his operations, which he did not
ear-taence until about one o'clock, when he began in good
rititiest. working and singing an old transport's song du-
tor! his Progress. The whole of this time the officers lay
hilietaled under some bay. About seven o'clock he put

all Mi go and in a few minutes afterwards he bounc d

',,sow for liberty," but, to his surprise, was but of short
Zation, for no sooner on the land of liberty, than he was

"eted into another department.
