port.—This market opened quiet to-day. The sales will pro-
bably be 10,000 bales. The market appears light and very bad.
The imports are not yet reported. Closing Report.—This
market closed to-day with rather more disposition to do busi-
ness at the lower prices for arrivals. Sales on the spot, 10,000
bales. No change in price.
LEEDS TRADE REPORT, SATURDAY.—To-day's woollen
market,as compared with last Saturday's, has been a thoroughly
good one. A good deal of spirit was shewn by Bradford ex-
porters, and both London, Manchester, and Iluddersfleldhouses
have been doing business both at the mills, cloth halls, and
warehouses. The armistice has made people more speculative.
and especially with regard to both light and dark tweeds. Low
tweeds, at from ls. Sd. to 2s. per yard, have been bought in
large quantities for shipment. A portion of au immense order
for clothing for the French army has been offered to the
Leeds trade, but low woollens are so scarce that there is
some hesitation about accepting it. Irish friezes and blue nape
are also scarce. Cotton yarns, so much used in making Union
tweeds, are dearer than the top price of cotton itself. Shoddiee
and mungoes are cheaper. Oil is stationary. The flax trade is
a little better. Threads and yarns are more saleable. The linen
mills are not fully employed, but for diapers Tickings and rough
fabrics a good home inquiry exists. The tool and machinery
shops keep at overtime. Fresh supplies of silk machinery for
the home trade have been unexpectedly called for.

There is no quotable change in value for the week.
