STATE OF TRADE.

(From the Lccds Mercury of Saturday.)
LEEDS, UcT 22.—The imports of wool into London
dating the week ending today were only 210 bales, of
which 93 were from Antwerp, 64 from the Cape of Good
Hope, 47 from Germany, cod 31 from Spain. In the
Leeds tin:rk,-t sties in both foreign and colonial wools
have only tesen effected to a limited extent during the
pest week. Die improved rates hitherto obtained at the
present Eeries cif sales in London base tended to give in-
created firmness to prices here. The woollen cloth
market continues b foyant and brisk. There was a very
geed business done,in the cloth halls both on Saturday
and Tuesday. Nearly all kinds of cloths of a saleable
description were easily disposed of ; witneys and other
heavy goods, saleable Ibprtoene3. `There winter trade, met with

considerable deliveries direct s o warehouses ;
altogether a very excellent business has been done during
the week in black cloths. The reasons we assigned last
week as the principal cause of the increased activity in
the cloth halls have no doubt continued their influence,
Wool has not only maintained the advnce of last
Thurday, but has gone even a shade higher.; perhaps
14,1 per lb. may DOW be quoted as the average advance
on lost sales. The autumn trade is generally considered
to be drawing to a close at this period of the year. Per.
haps there has not been quite so brisk a business done
this week iu the warehouses, but still a fair home trade
generally is doing.
LIVERPOOL WOOL IVLARKETO Oct. 21.—An active de-
mand for wools at full prices. Considerable quantities
of Cordova and Mogadore are being shipped from here
to the United States. Imports the past week—Lisbon
