THE WOOLLEN TRADE.

(From the Leeds Mercury of this day.)

LEEDS.—The market has been steady this mornine, and
without any noticeable alteration. The tone continues firm.
There has been about the usual attendance of buyers, aad a
fair quantity of cloth has changed owners.
ROCIIDALE. A still further improvement charac-
terises our market, despite the unfavourable influence of
rusbbearing festivities. Manufacturers are approaching
!he realisation of their aspirations after reasonable profits,
and no orders are taken unless at increased prices. This
chiefly applies to autumn goods, for which the demand is
brisk.

H upnEnsFlELD.—There were more buyers, business was
generally brisker, low. goods went off well, and for fancies
of good design and original character the inquiries were.
lively, and the transactions fair and frequent. Prices re-
main uncharged.
MANCIIESTER.—There is a continued improvement in
all branches of the cotton trade, and a fair amount of busi-
ness has been transacted at some improvement in prices.
Yarns have been in good demand for nearly all the
export markets, including India, Germany, Holland, and
the Mediterranean, and sellers are realising an ad-
vance of about d. per lb. Home trade yarns are
also in request at a similar advance. The finer
counts of yarn for B! adford and Nottingham are
more in demand than for some time past, at firmer rates,
and the same remark applies to all counts of doubled yarns.
Cloths are not relatively in so good a position as yarns, they
are more saleable than of late, and long cloths, domestics,
T cloths, and printers realise rather better rates than last
week. Wide shirtings, from 45 inches upwards are rather
scarce and dearer. India cloths, including 40-inch shirtings,
jacconets, and madapollams are selling moderately, at full
orices, but they are not dearer.
