 ENGLISH WOOL MARKETS. 



LONDON, Monday, March 26.— Since our last report, 

 there has been a moderate demand for long wools, and prices 

 have ruled firm. For short wools, however, the inquiry has 

 ruled somewhat heavy ; nevertheless, holders have continued 

 firm. For shipment to the Continent, the transactions are 



limited.

BRADFORD WOOL MARKET, (Thursday last.)— The 

 business of the past week has not been any improvement on 

 former weeks. The sales that have been effected are at full 

 prices, especially for bright-haired. In Noils and Shorts the 

 demand is steady, and prices are without alteration. — Bradford 

 Observer. 



LEEDS (English and Foreign) WOOL MARKET, 

 Friday. — There is not much briskness in the demand for 

 fleece wool, but there is great confidence in prices being main- 

 tained. In colonial wool there is a fair business doing at prices 

 corresponding with the improvement in London. Low wools 

 are in good demand, and some sorts are rather higher. 



LIVERPOOL WOOL MARKET, March 24. 



Scotch. — The demand for Laid Highland is limited, and 

 consumers only take for immediate wants, and that of the best 

 class, at about late rates. White Highland rather more in- 

 quired for, with light stocks. There continues a fair demand 

 from the manufacturers for the beat class of Cheviot at full 

 rates : the inferior kinds are neglected.

Foreign. — The attention of the trade has been taken up 

 with the public sales in London this week. The quantity of 

 low wool offered was not large ; the attendance good, and late 

 rates fully maintained ; and there has only been a moderate 

 amount of business doing here during the week. A consider- 

 able public sale of Port Philip is to take place here early next 

 month. 



BRESLAU WOOL REPORT, March 22,— Our trade is 

 maintaining its almost exceptional position of a continual in- 

 quiry for all descriptions on store ; and considering the scanti- 

 ness of provisions, the weekly transactions rnay be called im- 

 portant indeed. They amounted during the last fortnight to 

 neatly 3,800 cwts., consisting of almost all kinds, except super- 

 fine qualities, which are wanting entirely. The prevalent 

 demaud has been exhibited for Volhynian, Russian, Polish, 

 and Posen fleeces, at from 65 to 78 thalers, as well as for 

 Charkow scoured wools, at from 95 to 100 thalers per cwt. 

 The latter have been acquired partly by Berlin, Saxon, and 

 Austrian commissioners, staplers, and manufacturers, and partly 

 by combers, who used them for combing purposes. In the 

 meantime home manufacturers and Netherland commissioners 

 have been purchasing the lower sorts, as well as some flocks of 

 Silesian sliped wools, at from 64 to 74 thalers. Supplies 

 have become very light, and do not altogether surpass 7,000 

 cwts., most of which are from Russia. Some extensive con- 

 tracts have at the same period been concluded on the sheep's 

 back, at a rise of 5 to 8 per cent, above last year's June-fair 

 quotations. Gtinsburg, Wool-brolser,
