WOOL AND WORSTED.—Basuronn, JULY 12.—The
accounts given of the piece market are most conflicting ; the

that orders are being delivered before the axe due, and that
bouts are standing idle to • couadenhb extent. On the
other band, we learn that there is a snore lively demand for

goods,
Improved weather has given au improved tone
to the home trade. No doubt both parties speak as they
end things. The American houses are far from active, and
their season is getting far advanced for any new operations.
The export demand fur worsted yarn is moderate, but the
limits pat upuu the agents here by their ourrespondenta
abroad prevent any very extensive orders being
, placed. The home manufacturers are very shy at
giving any orders except for immediate use. Prices
are alike unsatisfactory to buyer and seller, leaving
**margin for profit. The wool trade just now is in an
exceptional state. The prices current are so much above
the usual sates that buyers are necessarily cautious and
backward in their operations, At the mine time the con-
runiption is unusually large, so that purchases ant reluc-
tantly made ; • considerable business doing. There is,

Naha. • hur profit. The price of wool to-day is
generally quite firm. We bear in some quarters
of bright-haired sorts being obtainable at a reduction,
and this may, perhaps, in some instances be the
ease. Spinners are supposed to be holding off in the hope
that this apparent relaxation will become more definite ; but,
it the experience of last year may be taken as • guile, the
reduction spoken of is likely to be only temporary. The
prim of this class of wool has become very high, and the
supply very mama ,• but now large quantities are coming
into the market, and some staplers are anxious to realise.
Down 'wools, on the other hand, are firm ; and, indeed
(owing probably, to the fins weather) there had been • ten-
dency to hardening in price at the various fairs recently
held. Transactious in colonial are few, both biters and
sellers apparently waiting fur the approaching sole in
Loudon.

Boirrox, JULY 11.—At market to-day we have had a
small show of wheat. The trade throughout was dull at
last Wednesday's prices. In other gram little or nothing
doing.

Dxvizirt, %%LT 12.—We had to-day the shortest supply
of wheat ever remembered at this distance of time from
harvest ; the trade wea firm, last week's prices were fully
supported, and the turn was in favour of the seller, in
many instances to the extent of Is. a qr. Wheat, best,

MANCHAfirre, itrlX 12.—Our market this morning was
kf.l 1y attended, and the business passing limited. Wheat
was only in moderate demand, but choice fresh samples of
English could not be obtained on lower terms, whilst foreign
was slightly easier to purchase. Flour very little inquired
for, and a contention of 6cL per sack necessary to promote
the few trananctions that occurred. Oats met a rely dull
sale, with prices in favour of buyers. Beans remained
tolerably steady, and Indian corn recovered the decline of
last week.

business done was at the full rates of last week. No alters.

NEWI3VRY, Jinx 12.—We bad a small supply of wheat,
for which there was a steady conseniptive demand at
fully last week's prices. Barely a retail trade in barley ;
eats, beam, and pee+, dull at late rates.
ULBRLD432, JULY The supply is very short, and but
little doing ; prior are lower where sales are made. The
weather being fine, haymaking is proceeding with activity,
and the crops are good of upland as well as lowland meadow
grass.
WATIII,OIII3, JULY 11.—Scarcely any homegrown grain
has appeared at market this week, and we have only one
cargo to report from abroad ; but under the influence of
most brilliant weather, and the depressing accounta front
London and Liverpool, the trade rules dull for all articles
szFept Indian oorn, for which there is a fair inquiry at full
prices.

THE 1110 N TRADE.—Brinntrousw, Jun' 12.—The
quarterly meeting of the ironinasters of South Staffonlshire
cud East Worcestershire was held in this town this after-
noon. The attendance was not up to the average, and there
was a general indisposition on the part of home consumers
to enter into heavy engagements. The consequence was
that transactions were moderate ; but, as sales were not
pressed, prices remained firm. Pig iron was slack of sale,
and quotations full b. lid. lower than three months ago.
