THE CLOTHING MANUFACTURES.

WOOL TRADE, LONDON, APRIL 10.—The market is quiet.
The imports of wool into London during the week ending to-
day, are 1,877 bales, including 1,000 from Peru, 744 from
the Cape cf Good Hope, 102 from Mogadore, and 31 from
Germany.
FOREIGN WooL, LEEDS, APRIL 11.—There have been
more buyers in the market during the past week, and rather
more business doing. No change in prices can be quoted.
ENGLISH WOOL, APRIL 11.—There has been a rather
better feeling in this branch of trade this week, and sales have
been made at last week's rates, to supply the immediate wants
of the manufacturers. _ . .

LIVERPOOL WOOL, APRIL 10.—There is nothing at all
doing in wool ; very little to offer. Imports the past week
are-4 bags from Malta, and 74 ditto from Egypt.
TRADE OF LEEDS.—Our markets have been rather better
at both Cloth Halls since this day week, and about an average
quantity of goods have been delivered to direct orders. Prices
in consequence kept steady, and the stocks moderate. Busi-
ness has been rather dull for the season in the warehouses, but
a little more is doing by the foreign houses.
BRADFORD MARKET, APRIL 10.—Wools—The long-con-
tinued paucity of buyers of combing wools appears to have
somewhat terminated ; and since last Thursday considerably
more lookers have been in the market, and where anything
worth the value has been offered, some lots have been taken
for assorting up the spinners' stocks, which must now, from
the long cessation from buying, have been far worked into.
Notwithstanding this continued flatness, wool has nut given
way in prices at all in accordance with the expectations of the
spinners, who generally find a great anxiety to clear out prior
to clip day; from the difficulty in buying from the growers to
replace, stocks are more firmly held, and the chances are that
the trade will continue unsatisfactory both to the holders here
and the consumers, who complain loudly of their unenviable
avocation. There is no fixed price for any particular kind but
the staple article. Middle wethers may be quoted at 1114 d to
ls, according to make and country. Yarns—The firmness
evinced by the holders of combing wools, coupled with the
diminished production, has given a tone of stability to the
price of yarns, and the long absence of buying by the shipping
houses has had the effect of bringing them again into the
market; but so universally low are the prices at which
they are buyers, that this has only had the effect of making
spinners more determined to narrow down the working of their
machinery till a remunerating price can be realized; for all
hopes of relief from wool being at a lower prise appear at pre-
sent at an end. Pieces—The spirits of the manufactures are
now anything but buoyant, for to realize prime cost is impos-
sible; the fall in the price of goods being out of all proportion
with the reduced price of yarns. As the latter has now made a
stand, any further hope from this source appears improbable.
Cobourgs and Orleans have not been moved in quantities ex-
cept at very bad prices for some time, and mixed Alpacas,
though not lower in price than last year, are equally as profit-
less, from the great advance on the raw material, which has
never been realized on goods.

TRADE OF MANCHESTER, APRIL 10.—Although the mar-
ket to-day has not been very animated, a greater steadiness of
prices prevailed than on Tuesday, both in cloth and yarns.
Buyers continue to operate, however, with the utmost caution.
Many of the private letters, by the last overland mail from
India, are said to have been very dispiriting, and scarcely re-
concileable with the encouraging tone of the advices by the
previous mail. From the Levant the accounts are also very
discouraging ; the markets appear to be overstocked with
prints, and plain cloths and yarns are also depressed in price,
and unremunerative ; still exporters in this market are doing
quite as much as they have done for some time past. In the
home-trade business continues very languid, notwithstanding
the fineness of the weather ; and an opinion is freely put forth
in some quarters, though not generally acquiesced in, that
it is in a great degree attributable to the steadiness with
which the working classes are hoarding their savings to
visit the great Exhibition.
