WOOL MARKETS.

LONDON. 6th—in the wool market business to a moderate
extent has Won pasdng. eltoicd uullitits have commanded a
larger share of attentive, and prices have rule! firm. At the
public sales of colonial produce bidding. have been animated,
and the opening advance has been supported.
The market keeps very !Inn for E.mlish wool, but the JIM.
culty found by manufacturers in obtaining an adequate price
for manufactured goods causes them to buy very cautiously.
Later on, when forward contracta made at low price, have
been mostly delivered, buyers will be forced to take goods at a
commensurate price to the advance in wools, and we then ex-
pect a more active trade, and a further slight upward move-
ment.

BRADFORD, sth. Since last market day there have been few
transactions in wool. To-day some staplers report that there
Is rather more enquiry,and that the superior classes iit wool arw
In bettor demand, though the amount of liniiiiess doe is

the lower description. of short wools there is little business
