lll.NctiEsrEa. -We have to report a continuance
upward tendency in the prices of several kinds of yarn

able at the present time. This position of sellers and buyers
lies, within the last day or two, occasioned some falling-off from
1 the ratio in which operations were previously proceeding.
There is, however, a considerable amount of bnsines still doing
'by parties whware willing to sell below the extreme rates, and
by the producers of cloths and yarns which are not forestalled
in so great a degree as those just referred to. The general ex-
pectation of spinners and rnarmfacturers is, that prices will rise
st. ' higher in the early part of ',le corning year; and certainly

their pOsition, in reb .d to stocks and contracts, is
raging as it is uncommon for the month of December.
have reason to believe, however, that, to some extent, the p
chases for the markets of the European continent and the L,
vant, are in anticipation of orders; and, so far as this is the
the effect wig' t- " .

but it was as brisk as any we have had a

to those of the Monday previous. The operatives in the flannel
business are decidedly better employed, and the hands in the
cotton mills get rather more work.
LEEDS.—The cloth markets have only been poorly attended
by buyers this week, and not much business has been done at
the warehouses. This is usually a slack season of the year, and
we do mot think that the markets are at present more dull than
le of the sl '--ring houses are doina• a

.d China markets; but
most of the merchants are taking stock, and not doing muck
ualbusiness. The manufacturers continue tolerably we'
employed.

iiere is no very mat, don
duringthe week; the staplers complain that the prices sought
in the country are too high to meet the current rates of the

market, and the spinneri are unwilling to buy, except at old
prices. No is and Brokes are very stationary, as regards de-
mand, but with an upward tendency. Yarns : There is no fall-
ing off in the demand, but the buyers seem rather reluctant to
give moor than 3d. per gross advance, which is by no means all

inducement for spinners to se. __.every. Pieces : As stocks
are low, and the manufacturers generally working to order,
there is an equal indifference with them about sales; they feel
confident that the next change will be one of an upward ten-
dency; as the advanced price of yarns will have to be met in
goods, and there is no prospect of buying cheaper.
