LEEDS WOOLLEN TRADE, SATURDAY.-(By TelegraP__.l3lrs
The season for thin goods being nearly over, little busin a
being done in the cloth halls. Buyers want nothing beYonoi
few fair lists (to convert into plain goods of extra and meth_in
qualities) and some odds and ends of coatings. Transaction' or
light mixtures have been fair. None of the London, Scotch,
en
Irish houses were doing anything. One London house has etch
heard of during the week as operating largely, while the So ter.
firms were only about two, and they not the most eta
prising. With regard to the preparation of thick go'it-,;,.
for the fall trade, merchants scarcely know what to
5,0?
Manufacturers will return in a few days from the London!! leg,
and then there will doubtlesss be a larger production of dwcod
of the beaver and Witney class, as well as of stripes and silk the
worsted mixtures for coatings. Trade in the second half ° cohl
year is expected to be a decided improvement. Wool is_ fm.
here at twopence per pound advance, and this is likely i"..eot
prove the rate of profit which clothiers have lately been con
with. •
