few purchases of which, for India and Germany, mry be
rerouted, but they were in all cases at extremely low rates.
For home manufacture there was but little doing, and that at
a further decline in value. The demand for goods continues
very limited, but prices are still, in some measure, sustained
by the uncertainty that exists respecting the production, the
present position of the wages questio❑ rendering it not un-
likely that a general stoppage may result.
14:EDS.—For many months past we have not had such dull
markets at the Cloth halls. The business d tne by commis-
sion, out of the market, Lai also been to a much less extent
than for some time past ; in consequence, stocks are accumu-
lat;ng, and, in some cases, lower prices have been submitted
to. The mills yet continue in pretty full operation, but the
manufacturers threaten to work shorter hours, unless the
demand improve. Few buyers have been in the town during
the week, and business has been dull in the warehouses.
BRA DFORD.-Wooi : There is no new feature in this banch
of the trade. Caution is exercised by the spinners to an un-
usual extent, and the purchases made during the week are
very limited. Yarns : Since our last reports fresh contracts
have had to be made by the manufacturers, which have been
difficult to arrange satisfactorily, spinners preferring to cur-
tail their production rather than reduce their prices below
the then current rates. The result is, that a very large stop-
page of spinning frames took place; and either short time
working, or idle machinery is the rule of the trade. The
manufacturers have a very profitless avocation, and it is
computed that not less than 3,0C0 looms are thrown idle at
the present time. Pieces : We have only a dull market to
report. The very unsettled state of the money market,
coupled with the disturbed state of the continent, are both
severely felt by all engaged in the export trade. Prices are
ruinously low.

NOTTING!' A 111.—Tiliti week being our great annual holiday,
very little business has been transacted in either lace or
hosiery; nevertheless, prospects for the latter trade are good,
as large oraers have been received, and will continue to be
given for some time, for America, as well as for other countries.
The price of Yarn is not lowered in this market, although it
has been sold somewhat lower in Manchester. Fine spinning
for lace purposes is fully as high as it has been for some
time, without any chance of reduction for a long time.

LEICESTER.—This market has been dull and destitute of
buyers; the factors are clearing out stock and only purchase to
assort up. The unfavourable commercial accounts from
Australia have also had a depressing influence. The strike
for an advance of wages by the straight•down branch has not
been conceded at present. Yarns participate in the dulness,
though prices have not generally given way. In Wools but
little is doing ; and undefined fear of the raw material giving
way pervades.
