wit 11 ki euIISOU is selling at Ilia. to ls. per lb.

Sri:mt.—On the whole, a fair average business is

but low and daunt parcels-continue inactive. Refine
goods are in fair feque.t. And the lowest value of brown
lump-, is ri3s. per cwt. Crushed and pieces are in request

LEEDS, Jan. 27.

WOoLLEN TRADE.—The woollen trade of this district
ii in very satisfactory state. The mills are fully em-
ployml, and a considerable business is doing in the
warehoows. The cloth-nalls are almost cleared of their
fancy goods, as well as of all good serviceable articles.
A decided rise in the price of the raw material has
taken place. and there seems little chance of any fall in
prices for some months to come.

Wool..—Since last report Australian and the finer
kinds of wool have found a ready sale. The price
established at the Nuvember-December series of sales
have been fully maintained, with a slightly upward
tendency. Stocks are moderate, and the supply likely
to arrive for the February-March sales not large. Foe
East Indian, Russian, und other similar descriptions,
prices have ranged somewhat higher, a fact which the
Liverpool sales just terminated have fully established.
Englisl short wools are likewise dearer; combing
sorts quiet, and prices steady.

FLAX.—The spinners of linen yarn and manufac-
turers of linen Ulna Is, here as elsewhere, are suffering
serious jlicoflveuiieilcu from the extraordinary dedeienq
in last year's crop of dal, and the consequent high
price they hn.nse to pay for their material. Any means
of increasing the supply of dax would gladly be adopted
by the trite, lot it can loudly be expected that any
result of ingsirtatice will ensue from the present move-
ment to obtain that increased supply trolls India for
some years to come.

NON AI) MACHISE TRADE/I.—The manufactures of
iron in this district are well employed, and for some
docriptions of iron are realinug • slight advance of
price. Workmen's wages are remunerative. Tho
machine tool trade ii rather in • depressed condition,
but we are glad to say there are signs of coming
improvement. uf textile machinery are mode-
rately well employed with orders (ruin the continent.
The manufacture of locomotives is not in a very brisk
state. The nail-making branch of trade is in an ex-
tremely active condition.
la:Ann:K.—A marked improvement has been obser-
vable in the demand for all descriptions it leather since
the commencement of time year, and an advance in
price has taken place on all the lighter kinds. Large
orders have been taken for America, and our boot and
shoe manufacturers are now in full operation, both for
the house trade and exportation.

Contd.--At the commencement of the month prices of
wheat in tine market were pistol Is. to 2s. per quarter
dearer, which operated as a check upon any large amount
of 'minimal being trensacted. About the middle of the
h a decline of Is. per quarter took place, but the
demand was not buoyant, millers !levity( chiefly re-
stricted their purcha-ve to their immediate wogs ;
lately, however, there has been rather mure inquiry for
the best qualitied. The imports have been iuceniuder-
able. Fine barley has continued scarce end in moderate
demand, rewing iv• higher in vats towards the dun at
the month. *Fur oats priced hare been without math
veriation.. Beaus rather dearer.

MoNEV•MARICI.T.—Frotay EremiNg. The dulness
which is expected to oppress the Stock-market until the
opening of Parliament on Thursday next has again
been unbroken throughout the day, the only quotation
of l'onsobi having been 95,?, to I. There was a total
absence of nein,. and the telegrams (ruin the Paris
Bourse during official hours showed heaviness. on the
other hand. the arrival of gold ships and the usual pim-
a/AC by the (love ut broker for Savings-banks
tended to promote. steadiness. After the regular dose
there was a slight disposition to improvement.
