THE CLOTHING MANUFACTURES.
ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, MARCH 5. Very little
has been done in sales of wool this week, and prices have s
tendency in favour of buyers.
BRISTOL WOOL FAIR, MARCH 4.—The quantity of wool at
the wool hailwas much smaller than it has been at any former
fair for very many years. The attendance of buyers also was
smaller than usual. The transactions of the second day of the
fair were limited to some few kinds of wool which are in de-
mand in Yorkshire, and are not plentiful; but, on the whole,
the business done was small Prices asked were without aol
material change from recent quotations. imports
WOOL M LIVERPOOL WARKET, MARCH 4.—The ae!
during the past week consist of the following wools-19 tn,e
Buenos Ayres, IC9 do. Oporto, 1,125 ballots Peru from .
United States. By private the market is quiet. The ls o
sale
low wools (East India, Mediterranean, &c.) yesterday went off
flatly at rather lower prices.
TRADE OF LEEDS.—We have had some little improvernenit
in the markets at our Cloth Halls, both on Saturday al:in
Tuesday, principally by the houses in the home trade ; but the
foreign houses continue very inactive. On the whole, how-
ever, there has been a full averwie amount of business done
since this day week, including the direct deliveries off the mar:
ket days. Many of the mills being upon short time, the steels
are in moderate compass, but the manufacturers continue inn
complain heavily of profits, and are but little inclined to
crease the production until prices are more remunerative.
Business has also been rather brisker in the warehouses since
this day week, principally caused by the wholesale London
buyers.
BRADFORD MARKET.—WOOL.—WooI suitable for conbil
purposes is exceedingly dull, and but few sales making; Price-
are stationary. Yarns—The demand for Lancashire continue 4
for the looms employed around here there is less aoi.g+ and
frames are not near so well employed as a month ago, for
r to
cost is impossible. Pieces—There is -nothing
are
cheering ; many looms are standing, and those eniployed a
not aking a profit. There is no change in prices.
TRADE OF 11IANCHESTER, MARCH 6. The market coo•
tinues very firm, both for yarn and cloth, especially the for,
in which the orders exceed the production, and there is a tees
dency to upward prices In some cases spinners have obtasi.o6fs
%d. per lb. more than at the beginning of last week. I
to 24's and 30's water twist the orders on hand are
for two months, and this is the case also on some numbers l,
mule yarn. The German houses have some very large Cope
do
tracts, and for India and China a large business has been
in 40's and 69's mule. There has been a fair business in ware
and cops for the Mediterranean and the Levant, and the lo&
counts of doubled yarns are scerce, and much in request' and
demand for cloth includes printers, 87-inadapollarag'd
9-8 shirtines, 40-inch gold end shirtings are still in goo
mans for Bombay and China, and the 56 and 64 reed 211;
have been cleared out of the market, leaving SOID, DI ON c!:
