STATE OF TRADE.

FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, FEB. 26.—There has
been scarcely an average business transacted in foreign
wools this week, but the result of the recent Loudon
sales has given tirinn-ss to prices.
ENGLISH Wool. MARKET, FEB. 26.—The sales of
combing and clothing wools have been small this week,
and prices are tending in favour of the buyers.
WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, FEB. 25.—We must
still report this market flit, but not worse than last week
in prices ; and, on the whole, we have had more in-
quiry after some sorts of wool.
LEEDS.—Our m.aket at the cloth-hulls, both on Sa-
turday and to-day, have been exceedingly dull, and wa
never witnessed so little doing on speculation fur the
coml,ig season, as at the present time. The purchasers
continue to buy only for the present need, or is positive
orders ; the manufacturers also continue to limit the
production, and stocks are moderate in consequence ;
prices are steady. A number of country buyers have
been in the town during the week, but they have bought
lightly, their policy being, dtiring the present depressed
times, to make small purchases and visit the market
oftener. On the v% hole, there has been less than an
average business done In the wa,ehoteies during the wesk.
HECKMONDWIKE BLANKET MARKET, FEB 25 —Those
are a tew small ord•-rs fir the Afeeric in market, but the
blanket trade generally is in a deplorable state. Very
few samples have b._ en bought this week in the market.
BRADFORD MARKET. FEB 1.5.—Tn0 staplers seem
more willing to sell tiros they were, but the spinners buy
with great citation, and on ) tor their prvsent
limited
detnanis. We can report no alteration 44* moment in
p-ice. Iu pm there Is eemioly more business doe
bu:h bur the h,:me a .d extmet trade, especially the
latter ; and we have confident hope, that ere long we
shall he abl,, to state that this branch of our market is
in A. satisfactory s& te. A tinug advance was in many
instances obtained in trice. There was to Ili no difference
in the aminnt of b:s clone in the piece market,
though Suin;r manailienvreri complained that the sales
were not so go-,d as o%•vicus l'Eices were firm,

MANCUE:3TEtt. 25.—Perhaps it may be said that
a little more business has I),,ea dory, in cie...h this week,
though at prices, considering the price. of the staple, that

not lower, but no large sales are making.
The-orders from the United States are very extensive
and a very large and good business is certain for the'
present year.
NOTTINGHAM.---The steady business we reported last
week in bobbin Het- lace has been maintained through the
rresent, and seems likely to be continued through the
spring, if no untoward public events transpire. Prices
are unchanged. The warp lace trade continues de-
pressed. There are some ,lifficulties occurring in k on-
tinkeitel as wall as Irish business ; but we think the
pro.-pect is ie faveur of a pretty fair amount or spring
trade.—Nottinghant Review.,
LEICESTER.—We have no alteration to report in the
home trade. The accounts from America are considered
favourable, and a good fall trade is expected. Worsted
yarns are fist, and more spinners are working short time,
but little is doing in wools, at prices in favour of the
buyer.—Leicexe r Journal.
MANCHESTER PRODUCE MARKET, FED. 26.—There
has been a rather better demand for sugar, but prices are
unaltered. No change in the quotations for tea ; greens
still continue very much depressed. In consequence of
the sale of silk at Liverpool this week, the business here
has been very limited. Prices ruled much on a par with
those previously obtained by privile contract, being
to ls. lower than at the last public soles. The cotton
market has assumed a more active appearatec. ; larger
sales have been 'made thsii -fur some wet ks back, and
prices are rather higher. •
MANUFACTURES, FEB. 26.—During the last two days,
our market has not silowii so much animation as at the
beginning of the vteek. Many of the spinners and
manufacturers have demanded a slight advance upon
previous rates ; and, in some few cases, buyers of yarn
have acceded to the demand ; but, generally, it has had
the effect of checking business, and comparat'vely few
sales have been made s estenhty and to- tidy. Probably,
too, the unfavoura..le accounts receive 1 from India by
the overland mail may have had some influence upon the
deatteers
market, especially. as s better state of effairs was lurked
ftoor in that part. the world. It appears that, owing
