WOOL MARKETS. 



ENGLISH WOOL MARKET. 



LONDON, Monday, Jan. 24.— Very little home-grown 

 Wool is now on offer, owing to some of the holders having 

 «iLhcIra\vu their samples from the marl;et for the present. How- 

 ever, the amount of business doing iu all kinds is somewhat re- 

 stricted, owing to the firniuess on the pert of the staplers ; 

 nevertheless there is every proepect of higher rates. 



BRADFORD WOOL MARKET, (Thursday last.)— The 

 flatness in the wool trade still continues. Very few sales have 

 been effected during the past week, but prices are well main- 

 tained. Ill noils aud shorts there is no change to notice. Y'arna : 

 The spinners keep well employed to order, and prices have 

 undergone no change. The demand for Lancashire is less 

 buoyant, hut for this district and the Scotch markets it is un- 

 abated. In the export trade there is decidedly less doing, a 

 result most probably occasioned by the unsettled aspect of 

 poliiical affairs on the Coutinent. Pieces : There is a full ave- 

 rage of merchants here to-day. The supply of goods in the 

 market is re;uarkably small. The greater part of the goods 

 now producing being made to order, the transactions of the 

 day are but little indication of the actual business doing. 

 LIVERPOOL WOOL MARKET, Jan. 22. 



Scotch. — There is a fair demand for laid Highland wool ; 

 rt the quotations ; stocks light, and holders very firm. White 

 Highland is in fair demand. Cheviot and crossed are in good 

 demand, at improving prices.

Foreign. — The public sales commenced here on Tuesday, 

 the 18th inst., when there was offered about 1,500 sheets of 

 English fleece and skin wool. The attendance was numerous. 

 The condition of the skin wool was not first rate. Tlie com- 

 petition was good for the middle and better kiuds ; but the 

 lower kinda were all withdrawn. The East India began on 

 Wedue.-day, and have been continued up to this day. 8,700 

 bales have passed the hammer, aud have gone off with spirit 

 at an average advance on last sales of 7i to 10 per cent. The 

 sales will continue to the 27th. . 



BRESLAIT WOOL REPORT, Jan. 17.— Business since 

 the beginning of the new year continued very lively, and had 

 almost nothing to suffer from political affairs. Ou the con- 

 trary, it received a fresh impulse by the favourable result of 

 the last Leipzig cloth fair, and we had continually numerous 

 purchasers in the market. The chief demand continued for 

 Russian combing and clothing wool at 58 to 6G thalers ; ditto 

 scoured (from Odessa aud Charkow), 88 to 95 ; Silesian fleeces, 

 fine ones, 95 to 105 ; ditto slipes, 65 to 72. The whole amount 

 of sales has been about 3,000 cwtn., the greater part of which 

 consisted of Russian wools, which have been mostly acquired 

 by the clothiers aii<l combers of the ZoUverein, as well as by 

 Berlin wholesale buyers. In the meantime there have been 

 made very extensive contracts on the sheep's back for the 

 future clipping at an advance of 10 to 15 per cent, above last 

 year's June fair quotations. The most enterprizing speculators 

 in this mode of business were those of Vienna, tlie Nether- 

 lands, and Berlin ; but outward home- wool dealeis have equally 

 secured themselves many a large and renowned flock.— Guns- 

 burg, AVool-broker.
