WOOL AND WORSTED.—DeLoroRD, JA*. 3. —There
is a steady demand for wool, at remarkably firm prices ;
perhaps there is rather more inquiry than last week.
Maplers who have been into the country and trying to buy
find it very diflicult to do so, except at prices which they
cannot realise with profit in this market. In worsted yarns
there does not appear to be any extended opemtionsamoogst
the export Louses. They buy very little ordinary, though
there to little more inquiry for two-folds. Amongst the
home manufacturer., the consumption is much diminished,
owing chiefly to the absence of demand for America, and a
considerable quantity of machinery is idle in consequence,
thus materially lessening the demand for yarns. There
is great tirumess in price, as little or nothing is spun with-
out order. A more hopeful feeling pervades the piece
market, and a fair business in passing at present rates
amongst the home merchants. Manufacturers are seeking
a slight advance in price. The fancy makers are to • alight
extent employed, though not so Limy as usual at this sewn.
Orders for MiteriCA are still withheld, and where not punc-
tually executed are frequently cancelled. Several circum-
stances—the Ain unsettled state of foreign politica, the
close of the navigation to the north ports, and the rise in
the Book rute of discount—have combined to act nnfavour-
ablJy :pm the market for the Continent. Sonia rather large
or
have been given out for lastinp and camlets for
