WOOL AND WORSTED.—Bamproug, Masco 3.
There is rather a better tone pervadinc the wool market
this morning. The reports from the Bristol fair have roe-
siderable influence. Many Bradford woolsteplers are there,
and private messages received from them report wool as
going very dear. Very little long wool was offering, and
such as was offered was bought readily at prices in advance
of those obtained there. Down weather wools were more
plentiful. There has been a fair business in the market
during the week and to-day, and the prices were a turn
harder than last Thursday. The improvement in
wool is not shared by the spinners. They seek
a slight advance to compensate them for the
enhanced rates on the raw material ; but, with some
trilling exceptions, the buyer can do fully as well as last
Thursday. The single yarn trade is hardly equal to last
week. Some orders in 40's have been ..lsoed for Roasts,
bat the 30's trade is extremely quiet. The improvement
noticed in two.folds boa becomiimore marked, and corded
yarns have been more inquired for. Them, however, are
only minor changes; the general character of the market
remains unaltered, with prices much as they were. There
is very little to notice la the piece trade. Msay of the fancy
manufacturers are stallibrisk, and taking 'repeat orders to
some extent from the home merchants. Plain makers and
all who are engaged for the foreign trade are extremely
quiet. The trade for Germany and Frame is very let, and
that for America only small. The only trade which shows
aninistion is that for China, which keeps up wonderfully.

LACE AND HOSIERY. Norrresaam, ?Itasca 3.
Vary little has occurred in the position and Frospecta of
the laps trade since the 'mane of our last report. The de-
mand for the home market and exportation has again been
quiet, that for the disturbed districts of Germany and the
north of Italy particularly so. The only favourable feature
in the weeks operations is an increased demand for silk
laces ; brit for the cheaper classes of goods operations have
been very languid, as everyone is 'otiosely awaiting a re-
duction in prices, of which, however, there is still no im-
mediate prospect. All yarns Imitable for the making of lace
have bees firm in prices.—ln the hosiery trade there is a
rather better feeling, as some large houses are just now
executing some good shipping orders and there are rather
more inquiries again for the Smith Americas turbot. Now
excepting inferior yaros are quoted lower is and many
manufacture's are sorely uiconveniesced by the variable
and indiferest quality of the raw material which they are
obliged to work cp.—Nottingham Animal.

HIDES AND LEATHER.—During the past mouth the
demand for leather has not declined ; on the contrary, the
inquiry has rather exceeded that which existed at the close
of January, and has on the whole been greater than the
fresh supplies, so that the stocks now on hand are Ism than
at the beginning of last month. The article of heavy
[orgies butts is the chief exceptioe to this statement. Mere
is scarcely say change in our quotetioek the few shorelines
that have occurred being on goods of intermediate value.
The prospect for the future presents no new feature ; the
consumption goes on, doubtless, undimiaiihed ; and, with
greater ease in the money market, we may not unreasonably
expect lase indisposition to purchase on the pert of the
leather merchants, but the comparative dulness of leather,
contrasted with the 6TIIIIIIIIII of the raw materiel, is as pre-
sent diacouraging to the manufacturer. Raw goods base
met • fair inquiry, and pekes, although very slightly
altered, have "hewn an upward teedoecy. The imports
have been small, and the previously limited stocks ere still
further reduosd ;in fact it is seldom that our market
has been so bars as it in at present of hides of all descrip-
tions. It is, however, not improbable that larger supplies
will soon reach our port. At Leedeahall yesterday there
was a very small supply of fresh leather, partieukirly of
light English butts, English shoulders, bellies, light comma
drains' hides, light shaved hides, best East India kips,
and light cell skins., which were much in request. Prior
generally were unaltered.—(From the circular of Messrs.
T. J. and T. Powell, dated March 2.)

was observable. Indian corn was rather cheaper.

ley from the Baltic- The bane supplies were good. The
bade has been inactive during the week, still there was on
the whole no disposition shown to form off wheat, the
larger holden generally anticipating an advance, owing to
the present mate of political complications ; to make sales.
