WOOL AND WORSTED. —BRADFORD, MAT 31. —The
buoyancy observable at the Pontefract and York markets Li
not supported here. Prices have attained so high a point
that spinners generally buy very cautiously. The demand
is chiefly for eight-haired wools. The rates current at
Pontefract on Saturday have not yet been obtained in this
market. Nulls and broke* are taken off as produced. The
business passing to-day has been very smalL The export
houses having supplied their immediate wants are now
holding aloof. The home trade still continues large users.
but prices commensurate with that of the raw material
cannot be obtained. Prices continue firm with an upwanl
tendency, which is more particularly the case with the
better class of yarns. There is only a meagre attendance of
merchants in the piece market. There is, however, a
tolerably brisk trade in fancy goods. Manufacturers com-
plain of the difficulty of obtaining any advance an their
goo 4 and, unless higher prices can be obtained, there is
probability of looms being stopped.
