STATE OF TRADE.

ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, DEC. 26.---Ths
transactions in wool this week have been without aD7
material alteration from our last report.
FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, DEC. 26.—There
has been very little business done in foreign wools this
week, as is usual at this season of the year, and prices
are nominally the same as for the last two or three
weeks.

WAKEFIELD WOOL MARLET, DEC. 26.—Christmas
week is usually a dull one for sales of wool ; this week
has been more than ordinarily so, and transactions have
been on a most limited scale. Indeed, the seller sea
buyer seem both disposed to hold off till the new Year
sets in, and the market may be said to be in abeyance.
LEEDS.—At no time do we recollect seeing less bit&
ness dune at the Cloth halls than was the case on Sarni.'
day ; but on Tuesday there was rather more- animation.
This, however, is always a dull period, and rendered
still more so at this time by the uncertainty as to whet
may be done respecting the opening of the ports or re-
pealing the corn-jaws. Stocks of goods in the bands or
the manufacturers are lower than usual at the saeme
period in former years, and prices continue steady. 11.,5
usual so near the close of the year, there is very litiLe
business doing in the warehouses. •
aria
LEICESTER.—The hosiers are busy stock taking,
no business will be done until the commencement of the
new year. Stocks on hand are light, and the erevb
market has resumed a very firm appearance. We are
happy to understand that the operatives are more ge'r,
rally employed at this season than they have been 1"'

several it.ai-s past.
BRAD/ORD MARKET, WEDNESDAY. --WOOL.
demand for wool still continues very limited, and durl
the week a greater disposition to effect sales has bee"
evinced, and in some instances a shade lower prices bi."lo/
been submitted to. The supply in the market is Ia
average, but not excessive for the season of the year'
In noils and broker there is no observable difference
since our last report. YARNS.—We regret we cannot
aher the painful description of this branch. The 51)!1,11
uers continue working short time; and we learn on g',.re
6,J
authority that even the small quantity now prode'
cannot be sold to cover the cost of production. We sof
glad. to hear, with few exceptions, that the stocks.
yarns are not considerable, and that job lots are e 5
hausted. PIECES.—The closing market for the Yoeol
has not been animated. The recent intelligence fr fo
America has caused considerable discussion here a-
the
the course hereafter to be adopted; • and till some of
definite is known, it will tend to retard the prog"
production for that market.
TRADE OF MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EVENING.',O
have more confidence among buyers of cloth since
day week, though no quotable change in value. 101,-„,
were the dyers and printer; so slack, nor the fusty
cutters less employed. Spinners are enabled to etriP
sales on • fully as good terms as on this day se'unigh"
perhaps twist is the turn higher.
