WOOL AND WOBATED.—Baanroan, AUGUST 23.
We have no new feature to report in this branch of our
trade. So long as the uncertainty of the weather continues,
the wool market must remain unsettled. if there is any
change, business in • trifle more lively today. A giving
way en prices is the exception, bed is not likely to become
either general or material. Staplers who can afford to held
wool at present prime are generally determined to do so,
but there are exceptions, as there always are at critical
times, wheel parties who are afraid to hold, or =ablate do so,
accept lower terms than are eeneraily current. There is uo
change to report in nods and slants, which are taken ..ty
as made at firm priors. In worsted ysros the spinners are ge-
nerally well employed for export, the buyers pressing forenrly
delivery. There is lees buoyancy 111 the home trade.
Buyers who have orders to give out offer • little bail
money, and in some few instances we hear of a alight CIA*
cession having been made. Cotton yarns are also in scan.
tier demand. The piece market continues in the same Lin.
guid condition we have reported fur many weeks past -a
condition aggravated by two or three heavy failuree in
London of parties who were largely usdebtsd to Bradford
house,. The ungenial weather Use also a depressing
fluence, tending greatly to the perplexity of manufacturerv,
who are compelled to lower prices, if they wish to depose of
stocks.
