,PORD WORSTED MARKET, ARBIL s.—There is a
',ness in the wool market, no one being disposed to
ai,Y for snore than immediate use. Noils and brokers
e eagerly sought up, and there are no stacks in spin-
,s' . hands There is a fair demand for pieces. In co-
ergs the the low qualities are principally run upon, the
ue being scarcely looked at. Neither spinners nor ma-
nufacturers can make their business answer who depend
on present purchases of wool or yarn.
HOSIERY.—TRADE OF LEICESTER. —A large quantity
have
goods contracted for by the large wholesale houses
nave been sent off this week, both in the regular hosiery
and fancy branches, as well for the home as the shipping
demand, and the belief that their purchases are safe, se-
cures a full confidence in having placed their orders well.
The present advance both of wages and worsted is not
realised ; and the great advance on worsted goods con-
nected with the summer season coming on, induces shop-
keepers to hold off their purchases until their stock is
off. The demand for all kinds of cotton hosiery, fancy
goods, socks, and gloves continues active ; and wages
are advancing. Worsted yarns have again advanced
id.. per lb., and even then the spinners report that their
Price is not adequate to the late advance in wools. The
wool market is not so active as lately reported ; an opi-
bion is gaining ground that it has seen its highest price,
and no orders for manufactured goods are entered into
at the extreme prices now asked by the spinners.
