WOOL AND WORSTED—BRADFORD, If ARO'. 31._
There was some degree of ammatios pervading the marett
to-day. The holidays are eow pretty well over. and peol,:e
are resuming their busbies, avocations. The tone of the
wool market is again extremely firm today, the a.u.e
hardesing tendency being visible that has marked it for
some weeks past. All the superior climes of wool are
cidedly better to sell, and some eats which are tittelhely
1811/01 are readily caught up at very full rates. Stap'ers
become more impressed with the scarcity in the COUCItrv,
and find's' a good consumptive demand and no prospect of
relief till the clip, appear resolved opus 'Undies out for
extreme rates. Spinners are again pretty generally raisins
their quotations, being necessitated to that course Ly the
000tinual stiffening in the prioe of the raw material. Boyers
resist the advance as far aa possible, and a struggle ensues
which materially affects the amount of Inseams door.
Nevertheless there is a healthy demand for home use. ,13.1
some fair purchases of :30's, 40's, and other yarns for
shipping have been made, and generally at prices a .L 4
higher than a week ago. There ia a very fair buaineu
doing in piecee, both for home and export, and quotxtioi.s
are hardeniog.

LACE AND HOSlERY.—Norriociitr, lif.t :;I._
These is very little champ in the general aspect t,f
trades. Yarns bay. copitsusd Arm, but the °pintos is still
gaining ground that they have really touched their highest
point, and that the long anticipated reduction will now
gradually but surely proceed. This will impart great ur.
certainty to trading operations until prime have once more
reached their nominal level. Silk nets and quillings have,
been rather more inquired for, and the cotton branches
are sot quite so depressed am they have been. This rbien v
applies to the home trade, the demand for exportation being
still of the most limited character. The holidays have
somewhat impeded operations in the hosiery warehouses, is
►hey have done alao in the lace market, but we learn that
there ham been a partial revival in the demand for shipping,
and that a more active inquiry for all classes of goods is ex.
ported shortly.—Notiragaasi Journal.

THE IRON TRADE.—Bramuctum, MARCH 31.—The
prelimio meeting of the irounisaters of South Stafford-
' shire and ary
East Worcestershire was held at the Hu and
Chicksoe Hotel, in this town,this af ternou, Philip Williams.
Fp., in the chair. A resolution was passed unanimously
to adhere to the old scale of prices for all descriptions of
finished iron. In the course of the conversation which took
plus it wee admitted that the trade is dull, some makers
not having nearly sufficient orders to enable than to keep
their works in full operation ; but as there would be a great
difficulty in the way of reducing the men's wages, the
alternative will be adopted of working three or four days a
week, in the event of the demand for iron continuing as
moderate u it Ilea been during the last mouth. It is thought
that when the result of this meeting is known the trade will
revive, many buyers having refrained from ordering in the
belief that prices would be reduced. There is a fair demand
on American account ; but the Dano-Ccrman war has had
the effect of stopping the spring trade with the North of
Europe.
