arising from the rates demanded in the country being so high
that our staplers cannot buy them to meet prices here.- Nods:
and brokes are much inquired after and firm in prices. The
following are the full quotations for Lincolnshire wools :
Super Hogs, £l3 10s. per pack ' • Middle Hogs, £l2 ; Low Hogs,
£lO ss. to £ll ; Super Wethers, £l2 ; Middle Wethers,
£lO 15s. to £11; and Low Wethers, £lO to £1055. Yarns.—
This branch of oar trade is now exhibiting a feature, perhaps
stronger than that of any of our neighbouring towns, from the
fact of the greatiy diminished production. The quantity of
Yarns now spinning has not been reduced to so low a point for
many years past as at the present moment. There is more do-
ing by the home houses, whose requirements are quite equal to
what is now spinning; and bad there not been some small ac-
cumulations, and that the export houses were at the present
doing little, higher prices would more readily have been realized.
Pieces.—Since the opening of the month we have to note an
improved demand, and as the Americans have taken large sup-
plies throughout the spring, the stocks on hand are small, and
the buyers for the home trade find it necessary to give out
orders, which are not readily accepted at old prices. The de-
mand for Paramattas, and Fancy Goods, has been
animated, and in many cases an advance in price has been
established.

HUDDERSFIELD.—There has been a decided improvement in
the market this week, and a fair amount of business done, at
rather improved prices. Confidence is generally increased,
and stocks of medium and good qualities, of desirable goods,
are low.
HALIFAX.—The amount of business transacted in the Piece
Hall this week has not been much, if any greater, than for
some weeks past ; but there is a more favourable impression as
to the future. In the yarn market there is a more cheerful
feeling, and some sorts are in better demand ; but prices con-
tinue without variation. There are no stocks on hand. For
long wool, better prices are realised by the grower than were
expected ; but the quantity. changing hands is unusually small.
In some sorts of short wool there is a little more doing, at pre-
vious rates.
LEICESTER.—There have been no more buyers in the town
this week, and the orders received are mostly for a prospective
rather than an immediate demand. Still the trade has cer-
tainly improved in its tone, and not only have more goods been
sent off, but, as may be inferred from the diminution in the
amount of relief, more bands are being set to work. If the har-
vest is got in well, a good home demand is anticipated, better,
indeed, than usual ; and, as stocks in band are generally light,
there will then be plenty of employment. The prices of mate- rial remain steady.
GLAscow.—The yarn mai ket is quieter this week. Spinners
are asking an advance, but have not received it to any extent.
The market for goods generally is still in a languid state, but
prices continue low. Iron bars, £10; plates, £l3; sheets,
; nail rods, 411: rails, £lO 10s. ; and pigs, .£3 10s. per
ton.

THE IRON TRADE.—At the quarterly meeting of the masters
at Wolverhampton, on Wednesday, the attendance was nu-
merous, and everything seemed to indicate an improved state
of trade. The demand was brisk, and many good orders were
said to have been entered for quick delivery. Exclusive of the
demand for railway iron, it is now pretty generally and con-
fidently believed that we may boob forward to a return of much
of that home consumption for general purposes, which to some
extent has been stopped by. the late monetary pressure and
enormous high price of 'provisions. There was, certainly, no
downward tendency, and the prices of last quarter were re-
quired and paid. At the meeting of masters of South Shrop-
shire and the midland districts, the prices of last quarter were
also maintained, and future prospects were cheering.
