THE CLOTHING MANUFACTURES.
ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, MARCH 5. rues little
has been done in sales of wool this week, and prices have a
tendency in favour of buyers.
BRISTOL WOOL FAIR, MAncit 4.—The quantity of wool at
the wool hall was much smaller than it has been at anyformer
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 sal
material change from recent quotations.
LIVERPOOL WOOL MARKET, MARCH 4.--The imports
dining the past week consist of the following wools—I 9 bales
Buenos Ayres, lk 9 do. Oporto, 1,125 ballots Peru from the
United States. Be private the market is quiet. The sales o_f_
low wools (East India, Mediterranean, &c.) yesterday went off
flatly at rather lower prices. n
TRADE OF LEEDS.—We have had some little imprevemect
in the markets at our Cloth Halls, both on Saturday an
Tuesday, principally by the houses in the home trade ;
foreign houses continue very inactive. On the whole, how'
ever, there has been a full average 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.stocks
are in moderate compass, but the manufacturers contioue.to
complain heavily of profits, and are but little inclined to. in-
crease the production until prices are more remunerative.
Bus ness has also been rather brisker in the warehouses since
but the
this day week, principally caused by the wholesale London
buyers.
BRADFORD. MARKET.—WOOL.—WooI suitable for corob.ing
purposes is exceedingly dull, and but few sales making;
are stationary. Yarns—The demand for Lancashire continues,
for the looms employed around here there is less doing, and tbte
frames are not near so well employed as a month ago, for
_on
cover. cost is impossible. Pieces—There is nothing 0"..„
cheering.; many looms are standing, and those employed are
not making a profit. There is no change in prices.
TRADE OF MANCHESTER, MARCH 6.—The market con;
tinues very firm, both for yarn and cloth, especially the formen:
in which the orders exceed the production, and there is a t.nee
dency to upward prices In some cases spinners have obtail,4

WAKErrittn, M ARCH s.—The supplies this week are only
limited. There is not so much business passing in wheat as
on this day se'nnight, but that day's prices are generally main-
tained. Good Englis barley makes full prices, and not much
offering. Oats and shelling are quite as dear. In beans and
other articles no change.

BIRMINGIikitI, Maacir 4.—At Gloucester and Worcester
markets, on the 28th, there was a full supply of English
wheat, and the trade ruled dull; but the turn in-
price was in
favour of the seller. Barley 6d per quarter lower. Outs
dull, and rather cheaper. Beans maintained their value.
Peas unaltered. During the present week there has again
been a limited sale for wheat ; but as holders are firm, former
prices have been obtained on the few transactions reported.
Barley fully as dear. The supply of beans is barely equal to
the demand. Oats taken in limited quantities, at our quota-
tions. At this day's market the trade ruled dull, and to make
progress rather lower prices had to be submitted to ; but we
make no alteration in our quotations. Barley 6d to is per
quarter cheaper. Oats nominally unaltered. Beans is per
quarter dearer. Peas realised the currency of this day
se'nnight.
IVEsv au KT, MARCH 4.—At to-day's market we had a
