WOOL AND WORSTEP.—BaaprORD, AUGUST 20.
The firm tone which has chafacterisW our market more or
lees for some weeks peat bus increued, end this morning
we find a very confident feeling on all bands. Spinners,
having booked more yarn orders, have been in the market,
and have bought to a considerable extent for the supply of
their legitimate wants. The improved demand, added to
the causes which have kept wool firm during a compara-
tively quiet time. had the result of causing _the staplers to
be exceedingly stiff in their quotations. What was merely
an " asking price" last Thursday is easily obtained to-day.
Oa the whole we may safely report a better de-
mand for all chases of wool, especially half-breeds and
Lincolnshire, and at somewhat stiffer prices. There is a
better inquiry for worstedfyarra. Spinners have berm very
firm in their quotations fro some weeks back, bet the
hardening tendency of wool end the signs of a better trade
make them extremely stiff to-day. Offers are very abundant
this morning at about l!cl. below the price asked, and if the
epistler will yield in the smallest degree, he may readily
make a sale, but in most canes be holds out for extreme
rates, and generally obtains them in the end. The export
merchants tied that their orders from abroad are bum:unit
mote numerous, and though they are as yet by no
means extensive, they regard the fact as an indication of a
better trade in future ; and as the market has a tendency
to rise, there is a disposition to buy. There han improve-
ment in super 30's. and also more inquiry for two-folda
ln abort, certain prospects of a good harvest, coupled with
the growing conviction that peace will not be disturbed
this year, are exercising a very favourable influence. A
firm tone pervades tooter 's market, and this tone is
strengthened by the belief that, however restricted opera-
tions may be at the moment, the future promise well, and
the probabilities of a steady increase in the demand for all
fabrics are becoming more certain. The home merchants
are busy, though, comparatively speaking. doing lees than
last week ; and some articles, such u winseys, are still in
active request. The Americans only buy what they can
pick up from stock. The Germans are pushing the de-
I liveries of goods intended for the approaching fair at Leipsic,
and place a few small orders. Though the time has
scarcely arrived when the merchants engaged in the French
' trade give the bulk of their orders for the thrum, it is
reported today that offers for fair lots have been submitted
to manufacturers, and that, generally speaking, more is
doing for that quarter than might have been expected.
The firmness of wool and the strong tone of the Liverpool
market since yesterday came pries to be exceedingly stiff.
