1 their rate for discounts to 4 per cent

and although the•effect

was less perceptible in consequence of the previous dullness
that prevailed, a greater degree of inaction was the result.
The movement had been seen to be inevitable for severs
weeks, the time at which it.would be carried into effect being
the only subject of speculation. The India advices have not
induced any increased demand for Yarns for that quarter, and
less steadiness prevails than hitherto, a decline of about id.
per lb. having taken place since last week. For Germany and
the Mediterranean the inquiry is also limited, whilst for China,
in consequence of the insurreotion, there is little or nothing
doing. In Goods there has, been very little doing, either for
the home trade or export. Prices are barely firm, but no
decided decline can be noted.
ROCHDALE.—For Kerseys higher prices have been asked
and obtained, as well as for Flannels of a coarser quality.
Wool is firm, with an upward tendency.
LEEDS.—Business continues• prosperous throughout the
woollen district. A large business continues to be done by
direct orders, and by sales by commission hands, out of the
halls. Business is brisker in the warehouses than usual at
this season—prices are steady—the stocks low—and the mills
In the country, as well as the dressing mills in this neighbour-
hood, are in full employment ; and at no time has there
appeared a better prospect for trade for the winter.
BRADFORD.—WOOLS: Throughout the week there has been
a marked dulness, and difficult as it is to get supplies from
the country, it is still more so to get prime cost for them here.
There have been but few sales making,and those in compara-
tively small lots, to assort up spinners' stocks, the prices
demanded acting as a barrier to extended operations. Noila
and brokes are not altered since last week. Yarns : The high
prices now demanded for Wnol compel the spinners to ask
higher prices than at the opening of the month just ended,
but there is a decided unwillingness to give any advance on
any numbers, and the contracts made to-day are certainly
ender the average of months past. In reeled Yarn the same
lifficulty exists, and the spinners complain loudly of their
profitless avocation.—Pieces : Cotton warp dealers and worsted
spinners have been seeking further advances, which are im-
possible to be given, for already the manufacturers cannot
cover cost, and sooner than be driven into this dilemma, they
will allow their looms to stand, till either Yarns recede or
Goods advance.

HALIFAX.—With the exception of low mixtures, for which
there is some little inquiry, the demand for worsted goods is
almost at a stand in our Piece•ball.—ln Yarns there is no
change, either as to demand or price ; and the Wool market
1,3 mufti, az we quotations.
NorrixottAt4.—There has not been any great amount of
sales made since our last, either in lace or hosiery goods, but
each trade may be reported to be in as good a condition on
the opening of September as has been known in what are
called prosperous years—perhaps not as to the amount of
profit, but as to the small extent of stock in each business.—
We think the price of hosiery yarn has obtained the maximum,
but there is not a chance of reaction in this article fora long
time to come.—The price of lace yarn, it is probable, may yet
be quoted higher.

LEICESTER.—The demand continues fully equal to last
report for the various classes of goods manufactured here.
The Australian trade is taking a considerable quantity of
useful articles, and, of course, forms a valuable appendage to
our other markets.—Wool is firm, and spinners intimate the
necessity of a further advance.
