ROCIIDALn.-There has not been the least improvement in the
Flannel market last week; everything remains inactive, and
the sales have been limitd. The wool market has also been
dull, and purchases for cash might have been bought at less
prices. The wool dealers have suffered much by the late fail-

BRADFORD.—The business doing is very small; the Spinners
buying only for present use, and the gsan•tity consuming is very
much diminished. Yet, notwithstanding all this long dullness,
then, is not that giving way in price which most of the trade
might have expected from it. Noils and Ilrokes are in steady
demand, with no stocks Cu hand, and late prices firmly main.

of yarns is manifested, we fear all hopes of extended operations
are distant.—Pieces: there was rather more inquiry on Thurs-
day, and perhaps on the whole more business done; and as
there is now a feeling that we shall not have war with our wes-
tern neighbours, we expect ere long to have the pleasure to re-
cord more animated doings. Then,: is nothing different in
prices of any kind of goods.

YORK ANNUAL ASSIZE Woon 117Aft&el". MARCH
annual market has been held to day. The little qua,
wool shewn, the very few buyers in attendance, and the insig,
nificant quantity of business done, renders the whole transae.
Lions of the day so unimportant as not to merit a quotation of
prices. Indeed we never remember so meagre a York wool
market, nor need we wonder. when we take into account the
unprecedentedly depressed state of the worsted trade, which
has prevai'ed for the last twelve months without any immediate
prospect of amendment. It is true beyond doubt a very small
quantity of old wool is in the growers' hands, but that trnall
quantity is more than sufficient for pi eseat demand: hence the
languidness in the trade, and consequent depression of prices.
There will be no more York wool markets, until the new clip
comes in.
