WOOL AND WORSTED. —ThILDIORD, NAT 26.—Ther,
is great sluggishness is the wool market to-day, and tt
tendency of prices is downwards. The scarcity whirl le,
go bog prevailed has tended to sustain the high wee
which were demanded by the grower, and now, with
great Meal of most sorts of wool, some of it muds smiler
than usual, the tendency of quotations is in • downs:so
dirge**. In • drooping market every one refrains frqu,
operating beyond hie immediate requirements, and the con.
sequence is apparent in • marked decline of the sorts of
hweel in most demand. For example, Irish hop, 'beg
have become suddenly plentiful, may be bought at . decline
of lid. to 2d. cheaper than last week ; and Yorkshire and
Liecohtehire may be quoted Id. cheaper. Still, for lor,
picked aorta, which are very scarce, prices ere well as,.
Mined. The American news has had little influence is pm
dining this change, and the lowering of the rate of discount
had been anticipated. The disappearance of the scarcity
in wool, which had been held at unusually iggi
toteli has Medd to force • decline, which is aces.
by most persons refraining from purchasing the
anticipating a still further decline. In worsted yarns then
is the muse caution observed. Neither the home nor the
foreign merchant is doing any new business beyond wLat
urgently required. There is • considerable business &log
by spinsters on aceonat of orders takes some time ag,.
though there are moms who are curtailing productioe to
I wens extent. Prices, however, are very firmly maintained.
The woe dulness pervades the piece branch. The most
limited business is doing for home and the continent, and
the decline in the trade fee America is moat marked just
i sow. Notwithstanding, however, manufacturers are pretty
well employed on old cadmic and prior are unchanged.

LAC I AND HOSlERY.—Norrorozam. MAT 27.
Owing to the fine weather of the past fortnight the heel
trade has altogether assumed • mom cheerful aspect. .to
improved demand has sprung op for silk goods, black and
white Led, and especially for black shawls. In the cheaper
kind of goods, however, there is little change, and plain
ode sr* quoted h4her than last week, caused no doubt be
the continued firmness of yard. The export trade is
very quiet just at present, the interruption occmioned by
the holidays had scarcely passed away ; but more baited
is expected to ha dose before leag.—The hosiery Mods has
beets rather quieter is the hems branches, partly arising
from the fast of the fame of • large house in London
having soddenly throws • largeadertment of goods upon
the market. A few Aiming orders, however, are berm;
executed for the West Indies and other foreign markets.—
