BRADFORD WOOL MARKET.— The transactions dur- 

 ing the week and to-day are trivial. The supply of bright- 

 haired wool is exceedingly limited : nor are staplers disposed 

 to increase their stocks until the peiidiug salcj by auction are 

 past. In prices there is but little alteration ; but the tendency 

 is downward. Noils ami short wool are dull of sale, notwith- 

 standing the very small quantity now producing. Yarns : 

 There arc more inquiries by the export houses, but not more 

 sales making. Leipzic Easter fair is now on, where large quan- 

 tities of worsted goods are usually sold by the German manu- 

 facturers, who draw their supplies of yaru from this market. 

 A week or two hence, more business may be looked for from 

 that quarter. The consumption by the home manufacturers 

 is steady, but limited. Prices are ruinously low, and spinners 

 strictly adhere to short time working, besides having much 

 machinery unemployed. I'lECEi : The attendance of mer- 

 chants ia more numerous today. There is a fair amount of 

 business doing in fancy goods suited to the approaching sea- 

 son, but there is no improvement in Coburgs or Orleans cloths. 

 In coatings there is more doing. — Second Edition of the Brad- 

 ford Observer of Thursday last. 



LEEDS WOOL MARKET (English and FoREiciN) 

 April 23. — Stocks of English wool are very light, as is 

 generally the case at this season of the year, but thej- are 

 amply sufficient for the demand. Many buyers are looking 

 forward with interest to the approaching public sales at 

 Halifax and Bradford. The prevailing opinion seems to 

 be that the prices obtained at the last sales will not be again 

 secured. The demand for yarns and pieces during the in- 

 terval would seem to furnish ground for this opinion. 

 Buyers of foreign wool are also looking forward to the next 

 Bales of colonial, and are not disposed to buy freely till prices 

 are established. The opinion is that they will be lower, 

 but some persons expect they will be about the same as 

 last sales. 



LIVERPOOL WOOL MARKET, April 24. 



Scotch. — There is more general inquiry for Laid Wool, at 

 our quotations. White Highland is also more in demand. 

 The la'.e public sales of Cheviot, to close some old accounts, 

 has rather depressed the market for the moment, and we have 

 had little doing by private sale.

Foreign. — Notwithstanding the prices were low at the 

 public sales just closed, and the quantities sold were consider- 

 able, btdl the demand since for deep-grown Wools has been 

 good, and fully late rates obtained. On the whole the market 

 looks healthy.
