THE, WOOLZEN TRADE.

(Prom the Leeds Mercury of this day.)
'LEEDS, April 18.—Easter week being very much of a
holiday throughout the clothing district of Yorkshire, the
whole of woollen trade is to a certain extent affected there-
by ; hence, on. Saturday as well as on Tuesday.; there was
only a very indifferent attendance of merchants as well
as manufacturers iv the markets, and the transactions
were of a very limited character ; but during the
week there have been some good sales and deli-
veries direct at the merchants' warehouses. The, stock
of cloth in the market continues low, but perhaps a
little on the increase. Prices ate without any material
alteration. The Mills employed in the woollen manufacture
iu the neighbouring villages aro mostly well employed; but
there is not a very confident impression iu the trade that this
will not continue long. The future is looked to with
anxiety and apprehension, which induce considerable
caution to be exercised by most persons engaged in
Hess. The trade iu the warehouses is dull. Where have
been few dyers iu the town, and the business of the .week
has been of a very limited character.

HUDDERSFIELD, April 18.—Out market was very flat
today; There were a few town and country buyers, but
their transactions were very limited. There was not much
doing in the wool warehouses, but prices remain tolerably
firm. In fancy vestings the demand was extremely dull.
We understand a number of Americans have been in the
market, but they have held off for lOwer prices, and as Yet
have done little business.
