STATE OF TRADE.

-
FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS. APRIL 3.—The fo-
reign wool market continues in about the same state as
last week. The business done is comparatively small in
amount, and prices are stationary.
ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, APRIL 3.—Sales
have remained dull this week, and late prices are with
difficulty maintained.
WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET. APRIL 3.—There is no
alleviation to the dull state of the trade, which rela-
tively continues in the same position as we reported
last we-k, and consumers merely supply immediate re-
quirements.
LEEDS.—We scarcely ever witnessed less business done
at our Cloth hall than was the case both on Saturday
and Tuesday. There wa a complete absence of specu-
lation, the merchants confining themselves to purchasing
only to order ; prices continue much the same as for
some time past, and the stocks in the manufacturers'
hands are very small for the season, and no disposition is
evinced to inerease them. In the warehouses business
has been very dull diving the week, and the few buyersnin
who visit the market purchase with
much less quantities than they have usually d
trade this year is
season. On the whole, the p
duller hitherto than it great cautioonne,
ata and in
AV.—We regret that

we can n. ,t notice
staple manufacture ofshould
town. Some hopes, however,
are entertained that the next news from America
be of a favourable character, there will be an increased
me's for the markets►
f th t
; and that when th N Tariff • • a
e ewßill is passed
intocountry lw , both the home and the German trade will be
demand of complete g
better.
MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EVENING.—Though it is
expected that the late glorious news from Lelia will re-
vive the state of trade in that hemisphere, still it has
produced no sensible operation for the better in those
articles considered as especially suitable for the East.
The cloth market has been dull all the week, and the
market closes very heavily to-day, at scarcely last week's
currency. The home market is very dull, and no signs
of improvement appear. Yarns are without change iu
value, and perhaps rather better to sell.
BARNSLEY.—The trade of this town is considered dull
at present ; in fancy drills the summer orders being
nearly completed, it is generally flat at this period, but
the other branches of the linen trade experience more
than ordinary depression at this time of the year.
LEICESTER.—There is not the slightest alteration for
the better in the market this week, both the London and
country houses being equally flat, and but little doing in
shipping for the season. Worsted yarns are reduced a
halfpenny per lb , at which sales are with difficulty ef-
fected, although the spinners state they cannot buy
wools to meet this reduction. Long wools are flat,
without alterotion in price. Short sorts are brisk, and
cotemaild good latices. —Leicester .lournal.
NOTTINGHAM—The several branches of the hosiery
trade continue in the same stagnant state. The fancy
bobbin trade has not in the least improved ; many ma-
chines ari standing. and some hundreds of good work-
men are half perishing for waist of food. Tie warp lace
trade, late so flourishing, to use the words of &consider-
able master warp lace maker, is half annihilated The
exception is to warp mitts and gloves made by the
jaceLuard and some few by slide bars, which are brisk.
