STATE OF THE WOOLLEN TRADE.
(From the Leeds Mercury, of this day.)
h4•TI)s, DEC. 10.—The wool market has been firm.
the week ending to-day, the imports into Lon-
,°ll have been 834 bales from Sydney, 690 from Tagan-
jg, 457 from Galatz, 203 from Germany, and 18 from
kalbaica, Szc., in all 2,202 bales. In the English wool
arlet sales have progressed steadily, and prices are
1:11 a at last week's rates, with a tendency to improve.

even activity w

'uses this week.

WORSTED.
-...,F0RD MARKET, Thursday.—There has been little
titihl)ecu, liar interest in this day's market. There is a fair
of wool in the hands of the staplers and spinners;
ye. unfortunately the difficulty of getting prices for
%Tat:B and pieces proportionate to their cost still remains,
bids fair to await its solution in the coming year.

HOSIERY.
t11441)E OF LEICESTER.—Less business is doing in
Warehouses-: owing to the approach of Christmas, yet
ti demand is much more than an average one for the
hac of the year. The continued rises of yarn
Le operated much against profits, and the manu-
Ititillrer complains of the small margin left . e
of business done. Worsted yarns are butt in
th;!ed demand, buyers hold off, and are working up
hour old stocks, or those in contract for. Spinners are
tvgy in pushing sales even at the advanced prices.
eY state if wool only continues its present price, a.
17-4111 er advancement must be made, and should the
er.'r-shire wool buyers come into our market betore
taatillas, wool, however high now, may yet have a
omer tendency' upwards. More business has been
in it this week at prices not obtainable a short
kiie ago. Cotton yarns maintain their advanced prices,
I)ll,Ataally sorts are scarce in the market, particularly
)1i ,grey, for which the demand far exceeds the supply,
Cu is confined nearly between two houses.
