and peas were easier to purchase.

LEEDS TRADE REPORT, SATURDAY.—In the woollen market
_ _

there is a slight improvement. Goods suitable for autumn and
winter are required by the home trade, though it is late in the
season, but in no particular class of goods have the parcels been
large. Occasionally fair parcels have been made of green warp
tweeds and green twills suitableforladies' costumes. There is not
much doing in fancy coatings. The Moscow beavers in blue, black,
green, and 'different shades of brown still take the lead for
ladies' winters jackets. Blue and black naps, and brown beavers
are the most saleable things for winter overcoatings. A sound
German trade is expected soon. At Dewsbury there have been
lookers-out such as are generally followed by foreign buyers.
Leeds is becoming a main centre for wholesale clothing ; and
the several large firms never were busier. The felt carpet
and flax mills are only moderately busy ; but make
more time than the woollen mills. The iron works
are turning out large quantities of locomotive boiler plates,
some of them of extraordinary size. The machinery in hand at
the various works is principally for abroad.
