the long continued cold weather is operating against the spring 

 trade. Low wools are in good request, and prices are higher 

 tor sorts in demand. 



BRADFORD WOOL MARKET, (Thursday last.)— We 

 have no improvement in the wool market, sales are upon the 

 smallest scale, and buyers reluctantly pay the rates now cur- 

 rent. In noils and shorts there is scarcely the same anima- 

 tion, but prices remain about the same, — Bradford Observer 

 LIVERPOOL WOOL MARKET, April 21. 



Scotch.— Laid Highland of good quality continues to be 

 enquired for, with rather more business doing ; lower qualities 

 are still neglected. White Highland in request at our quota- 

 tions. Good Cheviots are light in stock, and sell at very full 



rates.

Foreign. — The public sales which commenced here on the 

 18th inst., attracted a large attendance of buyers, both home 

 and foreign, and opened at a decline of about Id. per pound 

 on fine wools, and at about previous rates for East India and 

 other useful low wools.

BRESLAU WOOL REPORT, April 19. — Business 

 during the last fortnight has been rather quiet, and trans- 

 actions did not amount to their previous extent, being alto- 

 gether only 1,700 cwts. They consisted chiefly of Russian 

 combing and clothing wool at from 58 to 68 thalers per cwt., 

 do. scoured at from 95 to 98 thalers, and middling Polish 

 fleeces at from 72 to 76 thalers. Prices did not undergo any 

 material alteration ; only the finer descriptions, being very 

 scarce, realized a few cents more than hitherto. The chief 

 purchasers were Saxon combers and clothiers, as well as 

 country manufacturers and a Breslau commissioner, who 

 acquired a superfine flock for English account. Fresh imports 

 from Russia and Folaud almost equalled the sold quantity. — 

 GuNSBURG, Wool-broker. 



GERMAN WOOL FAIRS.— It will be interesting for 

 those who visit the German wool fairs to know that the com- 

 plaints about the irregular commencement of the different fairs 

 of late years have induced the Prussian Government to publish 

 the following order:— "It has been decided by the Ministers 

 of trade and agriculture that the wool fairs in Breslau, Posen, 

 Landsberg, Stettin, and Berlin, on account ot a conformable 

 order, shall take place henceforward and in the current year on 

 the following days :— In Breslau from the 7th to the 10th 

 June, in Posen from the 11th to the 13th June, in Landsberg 

 from the 14th to the ISth June, in Stettin from the 16th to 

 the 18th June, and in Berhn from the 19th to the 23rd June, 

 Before the appointed time of the market days, the beginning 

 of the wool fairs in the towns named, or the weighing of the 

 wools, and the use of the public weighing machines, or the 



storiug of the wools in those public places which are used for 

 that purpose during the wool fairs, shall henceforward not be 

 permitted,— Potsdam, 27th March, I860.— The President of 

 the ProviuE Brandenhourg, Staatminister Flottwell," 



FLAX, HEMP, COIR, &c. 



LONDON, Satuedat, April 21.— The amount of business 

 doing in Flax, since our last report, has been very moderate. In 

 prices, however, no change has taken place. Baltic Hemp is 

 steady, and Petersburg clean is selling at £29 10s. per ton. Jute 

 and Coir goods move off slowly ; nevertheless, prices are supported.
