WOOL

BRADFORD. There has been more inquiry for
Wool during the past week, which clearly indicates the
diminished supply in the customers' hands ; and although
there have been more lookers, we do not learn that any ex-
tensive purchases have been made. The stock in the market
is considerably reduced within the last two months, and the
staplers find it impossible to replace their stocks with advan-
tage to themselves. The country dealers are by no means
free to sell at present rates, their stocks being bought by them
atsneh prices as would only entail a certain loss. Prices keep
firm here.

LivEnroor,..—The demand for Wools this week has
been more limited, caused, no doubt, by the aear approach
of the London sales, which begin on the 25th instant; also
on the same day 400 bales East India are to be sold here. In
Scotch of all kinds the demand is also limited ; but as the
supplies are not large, prices are pretty well supported.
There has been a considerable business done in Alpaca.
Import.—Foreign : This week, 1,009 bales; previously this
year, 69,361 ; total, 70,370. Scotch : This week, 198 bags ;
previously this year, 15,575 ; total, 16.773.
LEEDB.—The demand for foreign Wools has been
somewhat languid this week, and the business done gene.
rally limited; prices, however, aro without variation.
English: This branch of trade has been without alteration
during the present week. We cannot report any increased
activity in sake, nor is there any variation in the prices, com-
pared with last week.
WAKEFIELD.—Buyers, having bought rather more
freely for the previous week, have laid in stock for a time,
which has occasioned fewer to be in as purchasers this week,
and Ices has been done, and prices are unaltered for either
short or long Wool.
FOREION.—From Berlin we learn, that more life
had pervaded that market during the previous week, chiefly
owing to the visit of another large spinning firm, whose pur-
chases this time are likely to comprise 4,000 or 5,000 cwt. ;
their prices stinging for the greatest part under 65 dollars.

CATTLE, &c.
SMITHFIELD, Two o' Clock.—Although our supply of
Beasts to-day is not so large as of late it 18 quite egad to the
demand, which is very limited. Still, however, the best
Scots maintain their price, 41. 4d. being readily obtained for
this description. In all other kinds trade is very slow.
The best short-horns, with difficulty, make 4c, and second-
rates barely reach Tuesday's quotations; but the numbers
being so much shorter, we doubt not a clearance will be
effected. From Holland and Germany there are 512, from
Ireland 230, from Scotland 60, about 1,560 Lincoln. and
Leicester*, and 1,350 from various parts of the country. We
have rather more Sheep than on Monday last, and the de-
mand is considerably decreased ; consequently everything
is sold lower than on that day. A few pens of
choicest Downs have made ss. 4<1., but this cannot
be quoted as the average price of beet qualities. Long-
wools have suffered most reduction, being, in many
cases, nearly 4d. per Sibs. lower. Our foreign supply is but
short, and generally of middling quality : from Holland and
Germany we have 26,000. Calves' although not plentiful,
are certainly lower in price owing to the glutted condition
of the dead markets. The weather is very unfavourable for
the sale of Pigs, trade is consequently slow at about late
prices

ready sale, at an advance of 2s. per head. Sows with pigs,

WINCHESTER, OCT. 21.—For Pigs, sales were at
an advance of full 2s for lean stores, and 3s. for good well-
made porkers. Sows, with litters of Pigs, are also more
looked after. Fat bacon Hogs are being brought in very
fast, some making but 95., while others will fetch 11e. per
were pounds.
