STATE OF TRADE.

ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, AUGUST 23.
We have not to report any alteration in this branch
of trade this week. Sales are steady, prices firm, and
the manufacturers are all very fully employed.

WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, AUGUST 23.—During
the last week we have had rather less inquiry for
Combing Wools—what sales have taken place are at
old prices, at which holders are very firm. Blanket
Wools continue to be scarce at market, and in good
demand at late prices.
Yoga WOOL MARKET AUGUST 22.—There was
not much business done in the market to-day, the
,
show being small, and the prices asked being higher
than the buyer seemed willing to give. What sales
were effected were done at rather lower figures than
last market.

BRADFORD MARKET, TuunsDAy.—The favourable
change in the weather appears to have inspired con-
fidence that the harvest will be well secured,
and the prospect for the home trade being generally
favourable, somewhat more has been done in the Piece
Market than last week, and prices very steady. There
is about an average business doing in the Yarn
Market, and at prices the same as for several weeks
past. In Wool there continues a dullness, which
may, in some measure, be attributed to the very full
supply now in the market, and the consumers buying

The home trade is in a most unsatisfactory state.
Yarns are without any decided change, though we
think there is not that eagerness to purchase that has
for some time past been the case.—Lceds Mercury.
