STATE OF TRADE.
FOREIGN WOOL Ti DE, LEEDS, MARCH 26 —rro
great extent of bibiness has been done in foreign wools
this week, but the prospects for the spring trade appear

more encouraging.
ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, MARCH 26.—The
transactions in wool this week have not been large, and
are limited to a supply of the immediate wants of the
manufacturers. _

WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, MARCH 2Q,—Though
we cannot note any great increase in the sales of this
week, we have certainly had more inquiry, and prices
are fully as firm as last week. There is an opinion that
we have seen.our lowest point for the present.
LEDDS.—The cloth markets at both Cloth Halls have
been of much tho same character as the mai kets during
the last few weeks. The demand continues to be prin-
cipally for goods of low qualities for shipping ; but fine
goods, considering the season, continue to be exceed-
ingly dull of sale. Prices continue steady, and the
stocks moderate. Business continues to improve in the
warehouses a little. The wholesale houses buy with the
greatest caution. The country drapers are, however,
purchasing very freely for Easter, and foreign houses are
moving a little more than they have done for some time.
On the whole, the prospects are considered more en-
couraging than might have been expected a, few weeks ago.
BRADFORD MARKET, MARCH 25.—There is a steady
demand for combing wool, and as the supply is a bare
one, prices are firm. Short wools continue in good re-
quest at former prices. There is considerable improve-
ment in the yarn market, both for the home and cxpoit
trade. The spinners are mostly working to order, and
a considerable number of idle frames have been brought
into requisition. There is a slight increase in prices.
The business in the piece market has a stirring aspect.
Large purchases still continue to be made, both for
America and the Continent. We cannot, however, hear
of any improvement in prices, which continue stationary.
A deal of silk is now used in our trade.
MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EVErINC have no
decided change in our cloth market this week, though
more inquiries, perhaps, by the larger buyers, but
which, as far as has transpired, has led to no important
transaction. As the staple is rather easier to buy, a
correspond:ng reduction seems to be expected by our
merchants, but which neither spinners nor manufac-
turers seem inclined to submit to—indeed profits are
out of the question. The market closes firmly.
BARNSLEY LINEN TRADE.—We are glad to have to
note a slight improvement during this month, there
having been a good demand for fancy hollands, so that
the weavers have been generally well employed. We
understand that there is a good amount of orders on
hand, making the prospect for the spring months tole-
rably good.
TRADE OF LEICESTER.—Tho London trade still con-
tinues very flat; country houses are making cautiously,
and no improvement has yet manifested itself in the
demand. Spinners are still working short time. Wools
are steady. The cotton market is flatter, and one house
has this week given notice of a reduction of one shilling
per bundle from the last list.—Leicester Journal.
THE LACE TRADE.—We have had a few buyers, and

the market continues much in the same state vir•• last
reported—rather quiet, without any change in prices.
The weather is promising, and there is hope yet to be
indulged of a fair spring trade. Provisions seem to have
attained their highest price, and to be lowering in a
satisfactory manner. This alone will improve the
general condition of this and every other manufacture.-
HOSIERY.—The hosiery trade is, if any change be
observable, somewhat better, the demand havi Jg slightly
increased.
The velvet lace patent is still progressing, and we have
seen specimens of good velvet made from the bibbin-net
machine. A patent hat been obtained for making this
article, both from the warp frame and the rolling locker
bobbin-net machine. By the latter method the web is
made from two distinct warp beams, and an instrument
comes between the two, which cuts them into separate
pieces, leaving a pile upon each. The warp-method has
a shuffle. The making of muslin lace engages the
anxious attention of most of the able mechanics, and
great efforts are making to improve and extend this
manufacture, for which we understand there are consi-
derable orders, ana the demand wilj.be more extensive
when this excellent article becomes generally known.—
Nottingham Review.
