THE CLOTHING MANUFACTURES.

Wont TRADE, LONDON, JULY 24.—The quantity of wool
imported into London during the week ending to-day has been
8,513 bales. Of this quantity, 5,080 bales were from Port
Phillip, 977 from Van Diemen's Land, 2,151 from Sydney,
105 from Italy, and the rest from Odessa, &c.
ENGLISH WOOL, LEEDS, JULY 25.—We have no change
to report this week either in demand or prices.
LivEurooL WOOL, JULY 24.—The imports this week are
269 bales Alpaca, and 241 Oporto. The market continues
quiet, but steady. Low white wools very scarce.
• TRADE OF LEEDS.— The market on Saturday was brisk at
both cloth halls, but on Tuesday, in consequence of the reduc-
tion in the railway fares, many of the manufacturers have
taken the opportunity of visiting the Exhibition and attending
the wool sales, which caused a very thin attendance at the
market, and much less business was done. The deliveries to
direct orders continue active, and prices remain steady. There
has been a pretty brisk business done in the warehouses since
this day week.
BRADFORD MARKET, JULY 24.—Wool.—We cannot fur-
nish anything new touching any kind of English wool ; it
continues to be bought at dear prices from the growers, and
has only very dull sale here. Colonial is very animated at the
sales now on, and full prices are realised. Noils and brokes
are in good request, and late prices maintained. Yarns—
There is no change for the better in the demand for yarns;
the trade is as bad as it can be. We regret that the spinners
are compelled to curtail the supply by stopping machinery ;
and, taking the whole district, there is now a large quantity
idle. Pieces.— We are sorry we cannot report a more favour-
able aceount of the manufacturing business ; for cheaply as
yarns are sold, the price of goods is so low that there is no
profit remaining.
TRADE OF MANCHESTER, JULY 24.—Printing cloths and
shirtings are not so much inquired after as they were on
Tuesday. In other respects the market is much the same as it
was at the commencement of the week. In long cloths and T
cloths the transactions have been rather numerous, and prices
are maintained with considerable steadiness for both these de-
scriptions of domestics. The better kind of T cloths hold the
rates of last month, and the lower 32-inch, at 41b Boz weight,
which were last month at 3s. 9d. per piece, are now only lid
higher. 36-inch long cloths, 8 lbs weight, quoted last month
at 63 6d, may now be had at Gs 4id; 5-4 long cloths are also a
shade lower, but 6-4 are are tolerably firm, and must yield a
fair return to the manufacturer at the present price of cotton.
The demand for 40-inch shirtings continues very languid, and
prices are still barely remunerative, being 3d to 4id per piece
under the lowest price of last month. Jacctnets are also much
depressed. For the lower counts of yarn, both in bundle and
of warp quality, there is a continued demand for export to the
Mediterranean, and prices are well maintained. In mule yarns
suitable for the east, as also in cloths for that market, prices
have declined so as to be almost unremerative, but there is still
only a limited business doing in these goods.
