STATE OF TRADE•

(From the Leeds Mercury of Saturday.)
LEEDS, OCT. 22.—The imports of wool into London,
during the week ending to day wore only 240 bales, of
which 98 were from Antwerp, 64 from the Cape of Good
Ilope, 47 from Germany, and 31 from Spain. In the
Loads market sales in both foreign and colonial wools
have only been effected to s limited ext.ent during the
past week. The improved rates hitherto obtained at the
present series of sales in London have tended to give in-
creased firmness to prices here. The wooden cloth
msrket continues buoyant and brisk. There was a very
gond business done in the cloth halls both on Saturday
unti Tuesday. Nearly all kinds of cloths of a saleable
description wore easily disposed of ; witneys and other
goods, suitable for the winter trade, met with
rosdy purchasers at good prices. There have also been
seine eonsidersble deliveries direct to the warehouses ;
altogether a very txcellout business has been done during
the week in black cloths. Tho reasons we assigned last
week as the principsl cause of the increased activity in
the cloth hei!a bsvo no doubt continued their influence,
Wool has not osdy maintained the advance of last
Thursday, but has gone even a shade higher ; perhaps
lid per lb. may now be quoted as the average advancel
en last sales. The autumn trade is generally considered
to be drawing' to a closl; at this period of the year. Per.
hips there has not been quite so brisk a business done
this week in the warehouses, but still a fair home trade
generally is doing.

D IRK/4T Thursday.--There was little of
novelty in this market.' As the wool sales in London
opened, and the biddings there have been of a Tpir it ed
ebarseter,sthe probabilities of the immediate future ere
being earnestly discussed. Yarns are firm at higher
prices. The difficulties of spinners and manufacturers
seem to increase.
