MARKET&

OOTTON,—Ltradwooz., JOLT 4.—We bees had a rather better
demand to-day and a &mu market, at rather better prices. The
wilts are 12,000 bake, of which 9,000 are for export and macu-
lation.

WOOL AND WORSTED.—Baseman, JCL: 4.—There is
a quieter feeling at the oppenminmgg of the month, and leas tion
toil operate in wool. spinmrs.aad dealers have plid.• them-
selves largely in the country during the past few weeks, and
neither are under any neeemity to purchase at present. The
amount of burins done!' consequently very restricted. Under
these circumstances quotations have a drooping tendency ; but
the degree of the weakness, wherever manifested, depends greatly
on the position of individual holden and the sorts offered. Choice
lustre weolsihwhich are meet in denumd, hardly share in the de-
ore is still a steady business doing in worded yarns.
tZomrt -merchants in both two-fold yarns and single 40'a;
hut they seem y averse to yield market prima, and are in-
clined rather to boy from stock wherever there is a proved of
securing a connusdon. There is a moderate busbies doing on
home account, chiely in Ws and 40's. Spinners, who ace well
engaged and little stock, are generally Arm in their quotations,
though there are some Indications of a softming tendency. The
piece trade continues very quiet. The shivpinglmees are doing
lees than they were. There is a steady business doing for Prance.
American merchants make more inquiry, but do only a scanty
butineut The home merchants have done a steady trade in fancy
goods. On the whole, the entire burins is unimportant and un-
autiafactory. Many appear to be looking to the result of the har-
vest, in the hope that cheaper corn may give an impetus to the
industry of the country. Priees are caner.

WOOLLEH.—Lxims, Jui.v 4.—The marketa this morning
have not presented a very animated appearance. The athard-
=OP of Mums and manufacturers has not been large, and the
parcels which have changyd hands have, ra rale, been of a
arena? character.. The in nines for tweeds in the adoured
market have been upon the merease, but mull paresis have pre-
vailed, gad although an improvement in the bander of. these
goods May be reported caution has been exercised in the sake-
Mons which have taken plies. The usual dark shades of steel
and other mixtures have been mostly in demand. A few lota of
'odious have also been transferred though not to any great
extent. Fancy coatings have nut been in great request, but as
lame quantities of them goods are frequently made to order, and
delivered direct to the merchantr, the amount of balances done
in the (loth Halls cannot be taken as a criterion as to the real
amount of business done. The transfer of wittier, beavers, and
other heavy fabrics bar not been large. A few dark tokens in
the latter make have met with purchases. The total amount of
businesab e transacted has, however, been limited. Hairlists have
not left market in large quantities. A few mediumsdeed sales
have en place, though the transfer ham not been general.
Prima remain without any alteration.

BPDDiIISFIRLD, JULY i.—There is a slight improvement in the
woollen cloth trade here this week. The attendance of buyers,
which bill included some ()medians, as well se about the natal
number of the repreeentativee of London, Irish, and Scotch
houses, has been rather more than last week, and the rune may
be si se to the aggregate quantity of goods which they bought.
The fshim mostly cold were for autumn and winter wear, and
the betty and medium dames. both in coatings and tronseringe,
obtainedreadir sale than the lows* makes The manufacturers
are tolerably well employed throughout the whole of the die-
bid. Prices keep arm. Those of wool are slightly in favour of
buyers.
