THE CLOTHING MANUFACTURES.

FOREIGN WOOL—LEEDS, JUNE 25.—There has been con-
siderable inquiry since the close of last sales for all descrip-
tions of foreign and colonial wool. Prices are well main-
tained.
ENGLISH WooL, JUNE 25. Stocks of combing wool at
market continue very light. There is a steady demand to
supply the immediate wants of the manufacturers. Prices are
fir% at last week's rates, with an upward tendency; but it is
impossible to realise quotations in proportion to the high rates
asked by the farmers for new wool.
LIVERPOOL WooL, JUNE 24.—A fair demand for most
kinds of wool at full prices. Business is necessarily limited for
want of stock. The imports for the past week have been-
-3 Lisbon, 195 Sydney, 151 Masagan, 192 Gibraltar, 5 Naples,
1,783 'Slay, and 933 Africa.
YORK WOOL, JUNE 24.—The supply of wool at our mar-
ket to-day wasod above 600 sheets, and the demand was
brisk, withoui any alteration. Nearly all the wool shown was
go,
disposed of at the following prices : Hog wool 14s to 15,
hogs and ewes 13s to 13s 9d, ewes 12s to 12s 6d, Masham hogs
lls to 12s, locks 6s to 7s, cast fleeces 8s to lls (14ilbs for the
stone, the ilb being allowed for the draft).
TRADE or LEEDS.—We have had a fair average market
in the Cloth. hall to-day,
and things suitable for the autumn
trade continue in brisk demand. Prices continue firm, and
the prospects of trade are on the whole good.
TRADE OF LEICESTER.—The demand still continues mode-
rate for the season, with every confidence that prices will
remain firm. The glove branch is in an unsatisfactory state,
and we have heard of a difference existing betNdeen the hands
and their employers. Worsted spinners are attempting to ob-
tain higher prices, which are not yet conceded. There is but
little doing in the wool market. A struggle against the ad-
vance asked by the farmer is making by the stapler, who cannot
take his wool to market at a profit. Prices will not be settled
till our fair is over. -
BRADFORD, JUNE 24.—The state of trade continues much
as it was. Merchants are obliged to give an advance; but
purchases are made very cautiously. The shipping houses for
yarn decline to give higher prices, and suspend operations.
The woelstaplers also refrain from purchasing of the farmers,
as they cannot realise prime cost in the market.
TRADE OF MANCHESTER, JUNE 24.—The advices this
week from the United States have confirmed those of the week
preceding, and cotton has been steadier, so that we have had
less cause for fluctuation in yarns and manufactured goods.
The market for prints is decidedly more lively than usual, and
printers are busy with a good show of new styles. The demand
for printing cloths is large, and prices are fully sustained for
all kinds of 7-8 widths, though there is less doing, perhaps, in
72 reed. The home trade are the largest buyers in the market.
For export there is a steady demand in jaconets en India ac-
count, and in shirtings, but there is less doing in the latter
than there was some weeks ago. There has been a good bu-
siness for the Brazils, and madapollams and domestics have
been taken to a considerable amount, leaving these goods at
rather firmer prices. Low yarns are still rather weaker in
price, but the demaed is good for the higher numbers of mule,
at full sates.
