WOOLLEN TRADE.

( From the Leeds Mercury of this day.)
LEEDS, Dec. 23.—As is usual at this period of the
year, the woollen markets have been very flat this week.
The trade in the warehouses was very quiet during the
early part of the week, but since Wednesday several of
the principal London buyers hare made their appear-
ance and caused considerable bustle and animation, but
hitherto, we believe, they have not purchased much, a 5
they allege they are merely on the look out for some"
thing jobbish, or below the market.

HUDDERSFIELD, Dec. 19.—The market to-day was a
little more animated in the warehouses than oa man)"
preceding weeks, a larger number of buyers being in at-
tendance. In the cloth-hall, however, we have Tio im-
provement to report. Additional gloom has been cast
over this district from the untoward events in Auotralia,
in which several large houses are involved.
BRADFORD.—Things are as dull and dispirited as they
can be, and it is hardly to be expected that a change for
the better will take place at this season. Yarns—There
is more inquiry, but the prices are such as deter spinners
from producing. With the limited production, however,
higher prices must soon be realised. Pieces—Opera-
tions are limited, and the supply is only equal to the de-
mand. A manufacturer of moreens has succumbed to
the pressure of the times, for that branch of the trade is
a very profitless one.

H;Linuc, Dec. 16.—Webave had rather less activity
in the piece market to-day than last week. In yanl9
we have no alteration to notice-

COUNTRY MARKETS.

LIVER,POOL-DEC. 22.

We had a small attendance of millers and dealers and
there was a mutual indifference business, as re-
gards wheat and flour, between buyers and sellers. Prices
remain much the same as on Tuesday. Indian corn com-
manded the most attention, and was 3d to 6d per quarter
dearer. Oatmeal the turn higher. No change in the value
of oats, or any other article of the trade.

WAKEFIELD—DEC. 22.
We have a large supply of wheat, and fair of other groin,
to this day's market. The wheat trade is very slow, and
to effect sales a decline of is per qr. has to be submitted to
Barley meets a dull sale, at rather under last week's prices.
Beans, oats, and shelling move off slowly at former rates.
