STATE OF TRADE.

-
FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, FEE. 4.—We can merely
confirm our last week's report, no perceptible alteration having
taken place either in the amount of transactions effected or
prices obtained. We hear the London and Bristol wool sales,
just concluded, have gone off with spirit, a large attendance of
buyers being present.
WAxerieen Wool, MARKET, FEB. 4.—There is yet no
change in the Wool market; the supply and demand continue
to be equally limited, and prices have been without variation
for some time past.
TRADE OF LEEDS.—Nothing but gloom and despondency
hang over our Cloth markets, and the question continually
asked is when will this state of things alter for the better; but
the best informed in the trade are quite unah!e to answer it.
The state of
anythinge markets at our Cloth Halls, the bad state of
business throughout the country, and the absence of
like the usual demand for goods for Spring shipment, sets all
calculation on this subject at defiance, although we have now
entered upon the period when business usually sets in pretty
brisk for the Spring trade, yet both in the Cloth Halls and in
tae warehouses business has been as dull as we ever knew it du-
ring the week.
B RADFORD MARKET, Tau asnar.—Although the attend-
ance of merchants to-day in the Piece market has been less
numerous, we cannot report any better market; nor can we
