THE WOOLLEN TRADE.

(From the Leeds Mercury of this day.)
LEEDS, April 11.—The market for woollen cloth has
scarcely been so active this morning as on Saturday last,
the purchases being confined to small quantities to make
up orders, or sales were effected by the clothiers mak-
ing some sacrifice in price, so as to offer their goods as
"bargains." There is no change in the general condi-
tion of the trade of the district. The war question
occupies much attention among all classes, and induces
a degree of flatness in trading transactions that it is
almost safe to say would be removed by the commence-
ment of hostilities in good earnest by the English and the
French in aid of Turkey.
HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, April 11.—The market has
been steady to-day, and all goods of a seasonable cha-
racter were readily bought up. There is not much busi-
ness doing in the warehouses, except with buyers of a
smaller class, very few of the wholesale buyers having
been in the market lately.
ROCHDALE, April 10.— In the flannel market there
has been little or nothing doing. There is no disposi-
tion on the part of the merchants to purchase at any
price. We have had a limited demand for wool, and
prices continue in favour of the buyer.
