WOOL AND WORSTED.—BILMFORD, Nov. 1.-114
quietness noticed for some time past has increased. The
wool market to-day is in a very stagnant condition. Bpi&
tiers are only just supplying themselves for arms
quirenients, and the few sales reported to-day are
woo
for light haired aorta. On the whole this class of woo
very little cheaper than it has been of late; but this seism
from the circumstance that stocks in this market are net
large, and that farmers are adhering to previous rates sad
pushing sales. In effecting sales in other classes of wool,
staplers are obliged to make a concession in price. La%
wools must be quoted at 2s. per lb. There is more depre.
sion in worsted yarns than in wool. There is no demand
on the part of foreign merchantstand a verylimited *vim
for home consumption. Many spinners are working =gook
or stopping machinery. Soule offers have been made in soar
sorts at low prices. There has also been rather moss ja,
quiry for 40's for the Niusian trade, and for 30's, but rte
prices offered are very low, and are rarely accepted. 'no
piece Ueda is in a very =satisfactory condition. 'as
orders given in any department are very few. The fordo
demand has improved during the last few days, and sae
orders have been placed. The American houses have ass
begun to operate, and the home houses are very chary la
operating. Makers of Orleans and Coburg@ are pretty wig
employeu.SHesvy goods cannot be moved, end • reductioa
in varies has to be submitted to when sales are effected,
I Prices us unsettled.

LACE AND TlOSlERY.—Norrnromax, Nov. L
The lace trade is still very quiet—more than unsay
quiet for this quiet season of the year in the home mar.
kets ; but with the prices of yarn a shade easier, it is
hoped there will be a better demand in the spring fie
plain goods, though as yet the fashion is adverse to neady
all kinds of lace trimmings. There is a slight morns*
in the trade with Germany and the United States, bid b
is by no means general.—ln the hosiery trade business Ifer
the home markets has assumed a less animated tar,
many buyers holding off in the expectation of lose
prices. lams are a little easier, and it is generally es.
pected that they will yield a little more ; but at mai
it is a stern fight between spinners and manufactszek
and it is hard to say which way the tide will go. Mauls
still a fair consumptive demand for exportation.—Notaag.

beef ut our market to-day, but it proved quite leanest

while secondary obtained front 635. to (ills. per art
The supply included about 100 fat animals from Ire*
Of sheep wo had a moderate show ; there was an actin
inquiry for best wethers, which realised from sjd. tee
per lb., but ewes and inferior samples were difficult 0
dispose of. and prices for these ranged from Tjd. to Id.
per lb. Not much doing just now in store sheep, nil
supply of pigs was very fair, but the trade is still&
pressed, and prices down, both bacon and porkers sell%
at from 98. to os. 64. per score. We had a very good shoe
of horses, and trade was more active than we have knoll
it for several weeks. A steady business is being doss 0

sheep at our market to-day, and the attendance was

ties, and late rates were supported. Inferior sorts Teo
hardly so well sold. Of lambs the supply was
and a tolerable demand was experienced, at no
alteration in prices. The supply of pigs was fully ilia
to the inquiry, and the turn in prices was downwards.
