STATE OF TRADE.

FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, APRIL 12.—We
have no change to report in the Foreign Wool trade
since our last. There continues to be a moderate
amount of business transacted, and without any per-
ceptible variation in prices.
ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, APRIL 12.—We
have not any alteration to report in this branch of
trade during the present week. Sales of combing
wools are small.; but as the consumption continues
quite as large as for rimy months past, it is evident
that manufacturers must shortly come into the market
again more freely as purchaser.; of wool. Clothing
wools are in steady demand; and prices are without
any variation of moment.
LEEDS.—The markets at our Cloth Halls have
been much slacker during the last two weeks than
for the two months previous; this does not appear to
arise so much from the
•want of demand, as from
the circumstance of the goods which are now coming
to market being made from wools upon which a con-
siderable advance has taken place. They appear dear
in comparison with the prices of goods at the com-
mencement of the season, and rainy of the buyers
are holding off purchasing except for present demand.
This applies to low and middle qualities of goods,
but fine goods remain without any alteration
in prices. There continues to be a very good
demand for goods calculated for the season, such
as fancy light trouserings and summer tweeds, and
there has also been a little improvement in the de-
mand for cloth. ; on the whole there is a fair average
amount of business doing in the warehouses.
riI,;CKAIONDWIKE BLANKET MARKET, A.PRI I.
There was only a thin atten&nce of buyers on
Monday, and only a limited business dune. To-
day's market was better,- and a quantity of orders
put out.
BRADFORD MARKET, THURSDAY.—In the piece
market there is not quite ao much doing as a few
weeks back, and as the Germans are awaiting the re-
sult of Leipsic Fair (which is now on), we do
not expect any improvement till they ascertain what
is likely to he most in demand, after n hich a full ac-
tive bu,iness is generally anticipated, unlez.,s the price
of the raw material should command prices beyond
what the trade can afford. Yarns are moved off in a
fair way, and the general state of the trade is healthy.
Prices stationary. The wool trade has not shown any
improved symptom, -.11411 may be accounted fur hy
the spinoers buying so freelrkome months buck, and
now using their former purchases rather than buy at
pres,,nt prices.
TRADE OF MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EVENING.—
We have a little more doing in cloth this week, and
this has been decidedly the case since Tuesday, and
prices are very firm for all descriptions. The demand
for China continues. The calico printers are again
rather busier, but printing:cloth, from the great pro-
ductiou of that artia.., is very dull. The twist

Is
market is better in demand only; b' prices there
no real change.—Leeds Mercury.
