prices are not affected by the limited demo nd The
lumber of unemployed men is increasing Yarns are
without change either in the value demand. Hog
wool is dull OF sale and the turn easier but shaiiy
welher qualities are in good demand, and full prices
paid.
HALIFAX Saturday There WIS again a very fair
demand for articles in the trade, and If prices
were not hi her the very full rates Of last week were
paid. In wool there Is 10 change.
LEEDS Tuesday.-We have but little variation 10
notice from our last weeks report The cloth halls
are not al all times an exact criterion by which To
Judge of the state of trade and hawking is now
ommon that merchants can be supplied with nearly
all they want without the trouble of going the halls
The warehouses pretty ia rly employed, and the
demand at present Is chiefly for Lelvy goods. No
change in prices,
BoLroN-The feeble hopes which were held out
fortnight ago, have not yet been realized the con
fary The depression seems 10 have increased The
demand for counlerpanes Is limited than it has
been during The last three or four weeks Neither fine
musins nor power loom cloths meet with any mate
rial improvement; and, as a consequence, the poor
weavcrs are gradually becoming more distressed
Fancy cuttings pretty brisk IN demand, but prices
make no advance. The demand Tor cotton yarns has
considt rably increased during the few last DAYS Ma
ny mills, where the machinery had begun to be fully
employed, are now again commencing TO work only
four five days per week. Brass and iron oundries
very slack several establishments, which have
hitherto continued 10 furnish their hands with full
ployment, beginning TO employ their hands only
four days por week Altogether the prospect for the
ensuing winter Is very gloomy.
