STATE OF TRADE.

FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, JUNE 13.—A fair
extent of hornless has been effucted in f,reign wools this
week, althnugh many buyers are holding off until the
arrival of the new wools; the present reduced stocks af-
fording them but a very interior choice. Tne advanced
rates which have been paid at the Breslau fair have also
given a very firm tone to prices in this market.
ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, JUNE 13. —The
demand for fine combing wools is steady, and prices are
firm. Low combings are a dull sale, and law rates
barely maintained. Clothing sorts are in steady demand
at recent quotations.

WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, JUNE 13.—There is
no variation in prices of either long or short wool ; but
consurners buy the heavier descriptions of combing► wool
with more confidence at the reduced rates, and the
lighter and better sorts are rather better to sell than
they were a month ago : short wool continues light in
stock, and sells readily at full rams.
YORK WOOL MARKET, JUNE 12.—Our market to-day
was very well stocked with wool, and the buyers in
attendance were extremely numerous. The prices varied
considerably, and some thought that business had been
done at rather lower rates than last week. Very few
lots remain unsold. The following are the nearest
quotations:—Fine Hog 155., Hog and Ewe 125., 13s. 6d.,
145., and 14s. ad. per stone.
LEEDS --There was not quite so mach business done
at the Cloth Hall this week as last. The market,
however, was a full average of the markets generally
:it this season of the year, and there have been con-
siderable quantities of goods delivered to order.
Prices remain stationary, and the stocks in the halls
are lighter than usual at this period. This being be-
twixt the spring and fall season, few buyers have been
in the market ; in consequence, there has been little
doing in the warehouses. There is, however, a fair
amount of business doing by the houses connected with
the shipping trade

„
LEICESTER.—A fair shipping business is still doing both
in thr, regular hosiery and fancy goods. In the confidence
of a fair autumn demand, manufacturers are keeping their
hands well employed. Yarns are tir►n in price, and in more
request. Staplers hold wool with confidence, it is yet
two early to quote prices for the new clip ; but, in all
probability, it will not start at less than 30s. per tud.—
Leicester Journal.

BRADFORD MARKET, THURSDAY.—The demand for
wool runs most upon fine sorts, and full prices are
maintained. Low deep grown sorts and fleeces
are dull, and may be had a shade cheaper. There is no
variation in yarns. There is a steady business doing
in all kinds of plain goods, particularly merinos, of
which there is no stock. The fancy trade continues
very unsatisfactory, and the manufacturers engaged in
it complain bitterly.

MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EVENING.—Since Tuesday
our cloth market has assumed more quietness; but there is
nothing in the shape of pressing sales or selling on lower
terms. Still there is not that life and buoyancy that was
so perceptible on Tuesday. Yarns are in extraordinary
good demand, and prices are fully id. per lb dearer since
the commencement of the month.
