LEEDS TRADE REPORT, SATURDAY.—The woollen cloth
trade has been quiet, but steady, during the week ; and as much
business has been done, considering the season of the year and
aspect of affairs on the Continent, as could reasonably be ex-
pected. There was only a small attendance of buyers, who pur-
chased a few parcels of seasonable goods, including tweeds, mel-
tons, coatings and plain cloths, with a few heavy fabrics. Very
little was done in spring goods, upon which many of the manu-
facturers are moderately well engaged. The low pilot, grey
president, and blanket makers are all well employed in the
neighbouring district chiefly in completing orders for the French
and German armies. The flax trade is somewhat dull ; but
prices of the raw materials, yarns, and threads shew no change
since last week. Wools are rather higher in price, which causes
woollen manufacturers to keep up their quotations.
