THE CLOTHING MANUFACTURES.

WOOL TRADE, LONDON, MARCH 6.—Tkere has not been
much doing since the public sales, and the quotations are with-
out alteration. The imports into London during the week
ending to-day have been 289 bales, of which kOS were from
Odessa, 3t from Mogadore, and the rest from Germany.
ENGLISH WooL, LEEDS, MARCH 7.—We have no change
to notice this week either in demand or price; the amount of
sales been small.

Bats Tor. WOOL FAIR, Mallen 5, 6.—As might be ex-
pected from the state of the Yorkshire markets, this fair has
been flat and sales have been limited. The quantity of wool

There was considerable confidence evinced by the holders, and
no disposition to press their wools upon the market, from a
know:cdge that the farmers have cleared out, and therefore
there is no further stock of moment to replace the present
supply.
TIIADE or LEEDS.—There has been a considerable flatness
in the demand at our cloth halls, both on Saturday and Tues.
day, nor have there been quite so many goods delicered to di-
rect order this week as of late, but -the stocks on hand are very
low, and a general impression prevails that there will be an
early and good demand for the spring trade. Prices, in con-
sequence, are firm. Business has been dull in the warehouses
this week ; the shipping houses are, however, stirring a little
more than of late.
Bitanroan, MAE en 6.—Wools—There is nothing doing
in any kind of combing wools ; all seem disposed to abridge
their consumption and unwilling to add to their present stocks.
In the large consumers' hands there is a large supply, pur-
chased at prices below what is now asked by staplers, and the
prices sought by the dealers and farmers are beyond what can
be realised here. Yarns Every one seems at a loss what
course to pursue, for the cost cannot be realised, and the stop-
page of machinery seems now to be inevitable. There are
already a great many unemployed hands, and the probability
is that the number will be increased. Pieces—No alteration
from last. week, either in price or demand.
TRADE OF MANCHESTER, MARCIE 6.—Producers of both
yarn and cloth continue to.maintain,with a gooddeal of firmness,
the advance of price obtained last week, and the lower counts
of water-twist and mule yarn are quite I-4d per lb above the
lowest, point. 12's water-twist may be quoted 'Ad, and 20's d
per lb higher. In mule-twist also, 12's and 20's are -ijid per
lb higher. In cloth, gold-end shirtings, 40. inch, 60 reed, are
34 per piece higher, and 66 reed for India I%d per piece
higher. Manufacturers in some cases are giving %d per lb
higher for pin cops and warps, in advance of last quotations,
but there is a good deal of irregularity in the rates accepted,
the producers in many cases being compelled by their position
to yield more to the requirements of buyers than others. The
general firmness, however, has been such as to check operations
considerably, for though there is a disposition among buyers
for the continent and the India houses to supply their wants on
a moderately fair scale, they are deterred by the fluctuating state
of business in the market for the raw staple, from doing so as
freely as they otherwise would, by the hardening tendency of
prices. On the whole, however, there has been a fair extent
of business for the period of the week.
