CONTINENTAL TRADE.
IN. Y. Oommercial- Bulletin \

The wooden trade at Lille is reported to be
very active; the orders given by French and
German manufacturers are very important.
and there are now very few workmen without
employment. In linen also the demand is good,
and some important transactions are being
effected at advanced rates. The Silesian linen
trade continues rapidly to improve. and ac-
cording to the latest reports from the Landshut
market the sales effected there are
very numerous, Notwithstanding the
fact that prices have again been recently raised
In linen yarns especially the demand Is very
active. for immediate delivery Us we'll as for de-
livery during the next few months. At Mulhause
the sales OF cotton yarns are very large and
although the quotations for raw cotton are
somewhat lower. yarns maintain the elevation
which they had reached. In Austria the trade
IN textiles is moderately animated. The wooden
trade Is also affected by the general improve
3me5ns althSngh IN less degree than the cotton
nes to manifest signs, Of satisfactory
bleached goods especially. the demand is
abled many houses which refused to sell at the
former low prices substantially to reduce their
stocks of these articles. In fancy goods sales
are very brisk. although the hand. weaving
branch of this trade meets with serious diff
culties In obtaining remunerative prices. In
Belgium the long existing discrepancy between
the prices of yarns and tissues Is at last begin
ming to disappear, and some very important
transactions In calicoes have recently been
effected at Client at an advance of from to
per cent. In linen tissues the demand is very
good. and some extensiveexport orders are be-
ing received

that only 355 wolves were killed In 1879. Two
