MONEY MARKET.

WONDLY EVENING.
Letters of the 2nd from Leipzig mention the eon-
elusion of the fair for most branches of trade, which,
on the whole, bad not answered the expectations
that were generally entertained at its commencement.
This is accounted for by the fact, that the leading
buyers, particularly those from beyond sea, no
longer wait, as formerly, the period of the fairs to
make their purchases, but give their orders before-
hand, and merely visit the fairs to complete assort-
ments or settle their accounts. The supply of woollen
cloth is estimated at 90,000 pieces, of which about
70,000 pieces hare been disposed of at the average of the
new year's fair prices. Complaints have cot been want-
ing of the inferior quality of many of the parcels
offered for sale. The leather trade was satisfactory,
bat this branch of business had suffered materially
from the very doubtful position of the money market
in Austria. /Inglis& manufectures, owing to the
presence of so few foreign buyers, were not disposed
of to the extent which usually is the cue at the
Easter fair. Silks, from the same cause, were in less
request. The advance of 5 per cent. in the price of
linen yarn had contributed to curtail operations in
linen goods. The business in furs was still going on,
and further supplies from Russia were expected, so
that this branch of trade was at date in full activity.
' Breslau letters of the let mention the arrival of
numerous clothiers for the purpose of buying the in-
ferior descriptions of wool, and as this description had
been neglected for some time, and the stocks bad ac-
cumulated in consequence, the holders willingly ac-
cepted from 3 to 5 dollars lower terms than were cur-
rent only six weeks ago. On these terms considerable
sales had been made of Russian and Hungarian single
clip at 44 to 56, and of second clip at 37 to 43 dole.
Some Silesian single clip found buyers at 73 dole. ;
and Polish fleeces at 60 to 66 dole. Lamb, grease, and
skin wool, were in request ; but the former was scarce,
and the prices obtained were 68 dole. for inferior
lamb, and 63 dole. for skin wool. The price of the
better descriptions of wool was well supported, and
although the current rates are 3 to 5 dole. higher for
them now than in June, 1849, they are nevertheless
relatively cheaper than the inferior and middle kinds.
Several contracts had been made for fine and middling
fine wools for the next clip, in some cases at a slight
advance on previous rates. The opinion prevailed
that the finer and better descriptions of wool will
command full prices at the approaching wool market,
whilst the price of the middle kinds will greatly de-
pend on the result of the sales now in progress in
