TRADE OF LEEDS.—Our markets this week have been
better supplied with goods than for some weeks previous.
More business has been done at the Cloth-balls in goods
of various qualities, and rather less done in heavy winter
goods, but in those calculated for the American trade
there has been an increase in the demand. A fair average
business is doing in the warehouses.

HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, TUESDAY.—Business con-
tinues much in the same state as for several weeks past—
a fair winter trade being done, especially in fancy woollens,
which are eagerly sought after, and good designs fetch re-
munerating prices. We also understand that low-priced
plains are in greater request than for months past. All
sorts of wools are looking up in price, especially middles.
The business in the warehouses during the week has been
above an average for the season. Light fancy goods,
such as waistcoatings, &c., are in tolerable demand.
BRADFORD MARKET, THURSDAY.—The state of the
piece market continues the same, and will not admit of any
variation in the report. Businessbis dull, but perhaps not
more so than is customary at this time of the year. We
cannot hear of any alteration in the yarn market from our
late reports. The demand continues and prices are firm;
they may perhaps be quoted a shade higher. There is a
good demand for almost every description in English wool,
and the prices are quite firm. New South Wales combing
wool is more in request, and the supply becoming less
abundant.

HALIFAX MARKET, SATURDAY.—The improvement in
our market continues. The demand to-day has been quite
equal to last week ; prices are on the advance. The yarn
market is pretty brisk ; manufacturers purchase more freely
even at advanced prices. In wool there is a good busi-
ness doing at full former quotations. A further small ad-
vance has been obtained on the lower and finer descrip-
tions of English combing wools. Middle wethers sold at
161. per pack. Noils and broke wools are in much request
at former prices.
DEWSBURY MARKET, MONDAY.—NO business was
done of any importance.
ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY.—To-day the
market was brisk. There was a good demand for flannels
of inferior quality, there being such an application for these
kinds of goods for some time past, that the prices are rather
higher. There has not been much doing in the wool mar-
ket, but prices continue firm.

WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, Nov. 16.—There has
been a full average of business done in wool of all kinds this
week, and although there is not a quotable advance, yet
upon some sorts a trifle more has been obtained.
THE COTTON TRADE, MANCHESTER, FRIDAY NOON.—
The extensive demand for grey cloth noticed on this day
se'nnight has continued with undiminished vigour, and most
descriptions of printing cloth are 3d. to 4d. higher than on
this day week. The principal export demand is for the East
Indies, China, and the United States. In the latter, the
goods are designed chiefly for printing the common sort of
goods, whilst orders for the same destination are confined
to prints of the finer descriptions.
HECKMONDWIKE.—The Blanket-hall, for the last two
market-days (Monday and Thursday), has been better at-
tended than latterly by the merchants, yet the quantity of
goods manufactured is greater than the demand, and prices
remain stationary.
LEICESTER, Nov. 17.—W00l has been advancing, and
we anticipate higher prices for yarns. The demand is yet
fair for goods, but at old prices. We understand there is
every probability of workmen being generally employed
throughout the winter, as there are few goods on hand,
unless the material is advanced so much as to create a con-
fidence in holding stock.
THE IRON TRADE.—The price of iron remains firm.
Orders are abundant; and very few manufacturers are
anxious to increase the orders on their books at present.
This we believe is true of the works in other parts of the
kingdom, as well as those in our immediate neighbourhood.
