CLOTHING MANUFACTURES.

WOOL TRADE, LONDON, OCT. 2.—The market for
wool is very well supported, and there is a good demand
for most sorts. The arrivals are increasing. During
the week ending to-day the imports have been 4,998
bales, of which 1,226 came from Sydney, 615 from
Moreton Bay, 942 from the Cape of Good Hope, 945
from South Australia, 378 from Bombay, 292 from Swan
River, and the rest from Jamaica, China (1 bale), Egypt,
Germany, and Spain.
FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, OCT. 3.—A eon.
siderable business has been done in this market during
the past week, chiefly, however, of a speculative cha-
racter. Prices may be quoted about tne same as for
some weeks past.
ENGLISH WOOL, LEEDS, OCT. 3.—We have no for
provement in the demand for combing wool this week,
a-id prices still tend in favour of the buyer.
LIVERPOOL WOOL, OCT. I.—Business has been quiet
during the past week for all kinds but Australian, for
which there is a good inquiry. The week's import.
consist of 17 bales from Lima, 4,658 Islay (Peru and
Alpaca), 31 Oporto, 261 Lisbon, 80 Egyptian, 2 Buena
Ayres, 37 Gibraltar, and 141 from Iceland.
TRADE OF LEEDS.—Neither on Saturday nor ell
Tuesday was there much business transacted at our
Cloth-halls; nor have there been quite as many goods)
delivered to direct order during the week. Prices keel
steady, and the stocks are low for the season. There
has been a pretty good business done in the warehouses,
principally with the larger London buyers, many ctl
whom have been in the town since this day week, and
have purchased more freely than for some time.
TRADE OF MANCHESTER, OCT. 2.—We have had e
very dull and inanimate market to-day, in consequent*
of the discouraging nature of the commercial advice°
which came to hand this morning. The India letters)
are extremely disheartening, speaking of monetary €lO
culties which had almost led to a panic at Calcutta'
From the United States the advices were also badi
whilst some failures of consequence were spoken of
nearer home. Amongst the latter was the stoppage of
l
Messrs. Slater and Robertson, commission merchant!
Glasgow, with liabilities said to reach 150,000 L
the commercial horizon thus clouded in so many dire;
tions, it will not be surprising that both merchants at'
manufacturers were disposed to extreme cautiousness'"
their transactions here to-day, and the result has been
a very limited amount of business. Both yarn andclote
were rather freely pressed on the market in some quer'
tors, and prices were a shade lower. Yarn was in some
cases bd per lb lower than on Tuesday, and cloth ld to
lid per piece.
TRADE OF LEICESTER.—There is a fair business doing
in the warehouses. Several buyers have been in the
market, but their purchases are made with great ceeu•
e;
tion, and generally there are stocks already made to
the demand. The prevailing opinion is that the OW
will be a late one. Last year the heavy stocks were
held over by the factors, and they are doubly cautious IA
ussortiug up. There is a be' ter demand for yarns nee':

other sorts are dull, particularly the lower kinds, 6/I°°
which spinners have been making sacrifices. Wool con'

BRADFORD, OCT. 2.—Wool—The state of this brave!
of the trade, so far as relates to English wool, presqw
no new feature, for evidently the spinners are so die:
spirited, that to buy they are unwilling, especially at ter
prices which staplers are seeking for all kinds of fined
haired wool. In the low and heavy kinds of combing
wool there is a greater disposition to sell, but the redne.
tion is so comparatively small that sales cannot 11

of speculation fully rife, and a briskness may be exlpetted at the next public sales in London, which *I
probably take place at the middle of this month. ferns)

'
—This has been a week of the same class as niell;
during this season, which haze been of an unusually proa
fitless character. Pieces—During the last two or tit's—eir
weeks the merchants have adopted great caution 10 2"uip,
purchases, believing that the market would be 1,,
stocked with fancy mixtures and plain goods. The
manufacturers have determined to act with unusual 01:4'
and have stopped their looms as their orders have rue
out, and several large concerns who work with Jacquard
,
harnesses have entire rooms standing, being unwilling
to make except to order. The quantity of goods new
coming from Lancashire is very small.
