port : This market continues dull, with a large supply offering.
Prices are id. per lb. lower. The sales are 7,000 bales, including
1,000 bales for speculation and export.
LEEDS TRADE REPORT, SATURDAY.—The woollen trade
has been more active than at any time since the war broke out.
There has been a larger attendance in the cloth halls, and
among the buyers there were none for important London and pro-
vincial houses. The improved feeling which has sprung up has
been felt in the warehouses for a few days past, and is likely
to increase foi some time. At present orders are only of a
sorting-up character. Meltons and Tweeds are more in de-
mand ; and hair lists sell more largely than any other
manufactured articles, at various prices, ranging from 3s. 6d. to
7s. 6d. Victorias have suddenly and altogether gone out, but
so far an average business has been done in them. Waterproof
tweeds for ladies' costumes are selling, and in the warehouse
there is a larger business doing in that branch than at any time
this season. Parcels for cutters are also rather frequently
changing hands. Some tweed shawls have been sold for the
first time since the fall trade began. For Canada more unions
have been sold, but that is the only foreign market at present
open to our clothiers.

market closed steady to-day. Prices, as compared with last
Saturday, shew sixpence advance in medium and 'liner kinds.
