THE FARMER'S MAGAZINE. 



hempseed have maintained their value, and the 

 non-appearance of foreign spring tares in quantity 

 has greatly enhanced their value. Reports say the 

 crops abroad have failed ; but we think the prices 

 now paying (7s. per bushel) will draw supplies. 

 Mustardseed and rapeseed have been firm; 

 coriander and carraway almost without variation.

WOOL MARKETS. 

 ENGLISH WOOL MARKET. 



LONDON, Monday, Feb. 21. — Since our last report, 

 there has been a moderate inquiry for fine short wools, at full 

 quotations. In all other kinds, the supply of which is only 

 moderate, only a limited business is doiug on former terms. 

 For export to the continent nothing is doing. 



BRADFORD WOOL MARKET (Thursday).— There has 

 been a tone of quietness in our market during the week, and 

 little buainejs has been done. Spinners having supplied their 

 immediate necessities, pause at the advanced prices now 

 asked. For noils and brokes there continues a fair demand, 

 and prices are firm. Yarns: The export houses continue to 

 buy up anything offering " under the market," hut as yet are 

 not prepared to pay the advance now sought, aud the spinner? 

 from the difficulties in the way of buying wool, are very stiff 

 in price. Cotton yarns are dearer. Pieces : There has been 

 a fair attendance of merchants, but not much business has 

 been done. Several foreixn buyers are over, but their pur- 

 chases are chiefly confined to fancy goods 



LEEDS (ENGLISH AND FOREIGN), Feb. 19— The 

 demand for English wool has somewhat diminished, whilst that 

 for colonial has not fallen off. There has been a little improve- 

 ment m the demand for low foreign, and prices are without 

 alteration. 



LIVERPOOL WOOL MARKET, Feb 20 



Scotch Wool.— There continues to be a moderate de- 

 mand for Laid Highland, but consumers buy still only for 

 immediate wants. White Highland is still inquired for, but 

 wanted at very low prices, which holders are not inclined to 

 meet. Cheviots and crossed of a good class are in fair de- 

 maud, but only m small parcels to supply immediate want

^OREION.— There is now a decidedly better feeling in tha 

 trade, and there are a few inquiries, and business doing to good 

 extent particularly for fine wools: low kinds move more slowly, 

 out all have an upward tendency.
