STATE OF TRADE.

FOREIGN WOnL TRADE, LEEDS, MARCH 14.—The
Elbe still continues frozen. and consequently we have no
fresh supplies of German wools, but saleaNe descriptions
are in good demand, and Lamb wools, which for some
time prei;iottly were little inquired for, are now begin-
ning to he much sought after.
Examsta Woziot.. MARKET, LEEDS, MARCH 14 —The
demand tor combing w,. 4 is not quite so brisk as a f=!sv
weeks ego, the sales being 'Wilted to the requirements or
the manufacturers for press nt use, Prices are con-
sequently a shade in favour of the buyers. In clothing
wools we do not quote any alteration.
WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, MARCH 14.—The trans-
actions in all kinds of wool this week have been on a
very limited scale, and at rather easier prices for the
purchaser.
YORK ANNUAL ASSIZE WOOL MARKET, MARCH 13.
—We had few buyers in attendance, the transactions of
the day very limited indeed, so much so, that we can
scarcely give a quotation of prices, suffice it to say they
were very dull.
LEEDS.—On Saturday there was a very brisk market
for goods of all descriptions calculated for the spring
demand, fine and middle qualities of cloths having met
with readier sale than has been the case for some months
past, but on Tuesday there, was less business done ;
prices continue firm, and the stocks on hand are low.
Business is pretty brisk in the warehouses, considering
the extreme coldness of the season, which operates very
much against an early demand for the spring. The
foreign houses are a little more on the move, and on the
whole it may fairly be stated that a full average amount
of business is doing in finished goods.
HUDDERSFIELDD MARKET, TUESDAY, MARCH 11.—
The demand for new goods was again brisk to-day, and
a good business was done. The trade in the warehouses
during the week has been active. The manufacturers in
the district are generally busy to order, and most of the
mills are working full time.
HECKMONDWIKE BLANKET MARKET, THURSDAY,
MARCH 13.—There have been two flat market-days this
week. Wool still maintains its price, but blankets may
be quoted a shade lower.
BRADFORD MARKET, THURSDAY.—The demand for
wool is sluggish, but there is no giving way in price to
induce the spinners to buy, and consequently a very
limited business doing. Yarns continue in all respects
as for some weeks past. • The continuance of the frost
tends to retard the operations of the merchants, and
there is less activity to day.
TRADE OF MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EVENING.—We
have had rather less doing in all kinds of cloth than of
late, but this fact had no effect on prices of any descrip•
tion of goods. This is to be accounted for from there being
no stocks. Yarns never met more ready sale, and are
steadily advancing in value for all numbers.—Leeds
Mercury.
BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, MARCH 14.—The trade
have shown more disposition this week to get into stock,
but the sales are limited to about 250 'aids. and trcs.
%Vest India, at steady prices ; for Mauritius and Bengals,
there have also been fair demands, chiefly for grocery
purposes, and full rates have been obtained. Rum, very
dull.—Bristol Mercury.
