MARKETS.

WOOL AND WORSTED.—BRADFORD, Jinx 5. —The
market is getting into better supply of most kinds of wool.
The trade doing is still very limited, owing to the high
prior* that are asked. The staplers have no alternative but
to maintain the greatest firmneu, seeing that the prices
current in the country are fully u high as those demanded
here. The demand for nods and shorts continues good, but
prices do not keep pace with long grown wools. There is
nothing striking in the state of the worsted yarn depart-
ment. The change in the weather has the result of putting
people in better spirite, and a fair trade is doing. The
great difficulty is in fixing the price ; spinners are asking
more, and in some instances obtain it, but the advance is
not equivalent to the current rates for wool, which are fully
lid. per lb. higher than at this period last year. The export
houses would in all probability do more if they could place
orders at old prices, but they cannot. The same remark
applies to the home trade, which offers no encouragement
to hope that the extra out will be realised in the manu-
factured goods. There is a more cheerful tone in the piece
market. The agreeable change in the weather inspires more
confidence that our home trade may not be hampered by a
bad harvest. The actual demand to-day w still limited.
Merchants do not buy with any spirit, and take only to
meet their immediate requirements, fearing that the pre.
sent prices will not be maintained.

readily for quite, as much =may. Rather more doing in
cats, at our quotations. Beans and peas the turn easier.
Dm-um JULY s.—We had a very small market, both
as to supply and attendance. Many of the farmers antici-

secondary sorts ; the market closed firm. In other grain

Flour mold slowly and may be quoted ild. to Is. lower.
Oats and oatmeal wore dull without change in price+.
