STATE 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 , their warehouses till late hours,
the eftect is felt in both the Cloth Hall-. A good deal of busi-
ness is now Going for the American trade, principally, we a e
nanny to say, in the fine, sorts of cloth, which i eqair a larger
pourresio. of animal and mechanical labour tha i the lighter fa-
artiza4;iiasn.
B dhencethere is bitter employment fur the operative
RbiroitD MARKET.—There
was a good attendance of mer-
chants at this market on Thursday, who bought rather freely,
notwithstanding
wh ch pri, es were not quite so firm a: of late,
prices of Yarn and of Wool having within the last few days,
from some cause not Jul y explained, lost something of their
Previous elasticity. Yarns met ather be ter hale at the reduc d
rates, but there was not a corresponding degree of activity in the
Wool market.
1103DERSPIeLD MARKET.—The trade of th s district still con-
'Miles brisk. On Tuesday there was a full average attendance
Of buyers and as stocks are low pri es were kept up. There is
!n increasing demand for plain cloths, but any new styles in
fin` Y 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 h
-3' the manufacturers, late prices are In ly maintained.
fthing Wools sold free y at recent rates; hut the prices of
clothing wools of the middle and inferior qualities were not
quite so firm.
11_.EcEsioNnwrics FLANKET MARKET.—On Monday, the at-
...mane, f buyers was better than vv. have had for s, me weeks
paott: riad there w s a good business done. On hursday, al-
oh there were nut so many purchas rs as there were on
/lon
CaY. there were some comiderable ordt rs given out for ex-
rzolrtation. The blanket weavers in this neighbourhood have
~,8„(1,e a "strike" for an advai Cu of wages, and we understand
i"l"‘Elne of the larger manufacturers have consented to give
We shall be glad to learn that the advance has become ge-
neral.
de-
mand FLANNEL MARKET.—There has been a Frisk de-
Yeard Tir
been so flannels to-day, considering. that it is the time of the
when this business is usually the flattest. There ha en it
manufacturers ma" n'erchants in the market ; but sou e of the large
mu_.
.acturers have bought rather freely. The Wool Market is
~znAKtflEep,sEatLle as it has been for severe, weeks.
WOOO MARKET.—We have no improvement
Whatever in the demand for combing Wool- ; and as the new
Wool markets have now commenced, we d not expect their
!Fill be much doing in the warehouses for some weeks to come.
Prices are nominally the same. There is a stew!), demand for
blat,ket Wools at f rmer rates.
LEICESTER.— In low goods and fancy articles the demand con-
tinues fair, but in the general trade it has not been brisk this
Wtek. The glove hands are yet out for an advance of wages.
There is no alteration in Wools or Yarns.—Leicester Mercury.
MANCREIFTER.—During the whole or the v eek a good busi-
ness has been doing, acid prices for nearly all descciption and
%chubs of printing cloths are firm, and stocks in the it atinfac-
turers h rids 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 .o
tome, for several or 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 turned to
lighter cloths that we hope and exp Ct they will soon improve.

Nest week is a holiday, and business nearly be suspended.

there is a general damp in the drawer and pantaloon branch.
