WOOL

LONDON.—The trade in English is in a healthier
state than for many months past; the year has closed with
more orders for goods than was anticipated; and the spinners
and manufacturers, feeling now assured that they cannot
buy Wool to meet the present scale of prices, are generally
demanding an advance tor goods and yarns. The we
fact of the short supply of Wool in the country
added to the above, warrant holders to anticipate at least
the stability of the present prima, if not a small advance.
For Fore ign Wool the market remains quiet, but prices firm,
with the expectation of improvement early in the new year.

ANDOVER, JAN. 2.—Holders are firm, asking 14d.
for heat Lam'i, and 13d. for seconds. Long Wools from 12d.
to 13d. ; coarse, 10d. to 12d. per lb.
BRADFORD.--Dwing the week the sales hare been
very small. There is no disposition to offer Wool at prices
at which the spinners can buy. Fine combing sorts are not
much in request; deep•grown sorts are held for prices too
high to meet the tuck. There is more doing in roils and
brokes, and fine soil, better sale at rather improved prices.

HALIFAX.—The foreigners are out of the market,
but the firmness in Wool prevents any further decline in
price. Not much long Wool is changing hands, the spinners
bein; indisposed to give the advanced rates. There seems to
be rather mure inquiry for short Wool, and higher pricesare
asked, but we do not hear that many sales take place, or that
the advance is generally obtained.

LEICESTER.—Being holiday week business has been
stationary in the vrarehouves, and we have no alteration to
repos' in chiles Wools or Yarn.

LivEßPooL.—The demand in Foreign Wool has
been steady during the week, and prices remain without
chance. It is expected that the more favourable accounts from
the United States will trod to more activity in the trade,
although it comes almost too late for the present season.
Some sales in Alpaca are reported at about previous rates.
More business has been done in Scotch during the last few
days, parties being anxious to close up accounts before the
end of the year, and have submitted to lower prices in cons.
ouence. Imports since Jan. 1: Foreign, 44 bales ; Scotck
SO Wes.
ROCHDALE—WooI may be quoted a shade higher
but the manufacturers are buying for immediate use only.
