THE CLOTHING MANUFACTURES.

LONDON, THURSDAY.—The impocts of wool into
London during the week ending to-day, have been 2,123
bales, of which 658 were from Algiers, 208 from Spain,
205 from Mogadore, 305 from Germany, 618 from
Alexandria, and the rest from Italy, &C. The market
is very steady for wools generally.
LEEDS, OCT. 4.—Sales of deep grown combing wools
are not quite so brisk as recently, but there has been
rather more inquiry for fine combings. Prices are firm.
We do not report any alteration in clothing wools.
LIVERPOOL, OCT. 2.—A steady demand for all kinds
of foreign wools at stiff rates. Scotch is rather dull.
The imports are 557 East India, 846 Lisbon (principally
coarse), 130 Oporto, 34 Malta, 33 Gibraltar, and 92
Alexandria.

TRADE OF LERns.—Except for heavy winter goods,
of which a very light supply was brought to the Cloth-
halls, the markets were dull on both Saturday and
Tuesday. 'Prices are a shade higher since the late wool
sales, and the stocks continue very light in the manu-
facturers' hands. Business has been pretty brisk since
1 this day week in the warehouses, more particularly in
heavy winter stock, but the foreign houses are doing
much less than of late.
BRADFORD, OCT. 3.—Wools—The operations in the
wool trade still rule on the finer sorts, for which very
high prices are sought, and the supply not abundant.
For low and middling qualities, the spinners supplied
themselves at the neighbouring markets and fairs, so
that they are yet well-stocked, and they are not free to
buy at prices sought by the staplers. Noils and broker
are without any change. Yarns—There is no less yarn
going into actual consumption, nor are any stocks found
in the spinner's hands, but there is no disposition to buy
for distant delivery, as the home trade is usually less
active, and the manufacturers are buying for present
consumption. For shipping there is the same demand as
there has been for some time back, and yarns suitable for
Russia are wanted for this month's delivery. Fine num-
bers on spools are fully as firm as last month; in other
numbers there is little difference. Pieces—The demand
for goods suitable for the autumn commenced some.
what earlier this season, and at no time has October
come in with so generally a small supply of goods, in
both the manufacturers and the merchants' hands. This
indicates a healthy state of trade, with an absence of
speculation, and all are sanguine of a good trade
throughout the winter. In prices there is no alteration.
TRADE OF MANCHESTER, OCT. 3.—The market WaS
dull, and very little business appeared to be doing, but
prices were steady. The extent of contracts still to run,
however, both in cloth and yarns, keeps stocks from ac-
cumulating very considerably, and producers are thus,
enabled the better to command she present rates in the

face of a slack demand. The demand frr doubled yarns
and numbers, suitable for Russia, generally, is declining
as the ssason draws to a close, but the Germans are
operating to Same extent, and. the Levant houses appear
to be doing more business. India houses buy sparingly,
and there•is great caution exercised by the country trade.
