WOOLLEN TRADE.

(From the Leeds Mercury of this day.)
LEEDS, Feb. 9.—During the Ministerial interregnum
there has been a stagnation in trade ; but as the dia.
culties in forming a good administration have now been
overcome, we hope to see more confidence and consi-
derable improvement in the state of trade. The mar-
kets, both on Saturday and on Tuesday, were very flat,
and only a slender business was done. The trade in
the warehouses has also been exceedingly quiet during
the week. •
HUDDERSFIELD, Feb. 6.—The market to-day was net
considered to be worse than our notice for a few weeks
past, but perhaps rather better. More business was
done in the Cloth hall, though we understand that in
part it consisted of job lots ; in other cases parties were
reluctant to sell for prices which will not replace their
goods. From a variety of causes work is scarce and
trade generally dull.
ROCHDALE, Feb. s.—We have had more inquiry for
goods to-day than on the preiious Monday, but not
mach variation in price. The wool market remains
prices is in favour of the
quiet, and the tendency of
buyer.
HALIFAX, Feb. 3.—We have no alteration to report
in the piece and yarn markets since our last weekly
record. In the wool trade the business has been only
limited, and the prices a little below what were current
' a week or two ago.
