WOOL MARKETS. 

 ENGLISH WOOL MARKETS. 

 LONDON, Monday, Dec. 24.— Since our last report* 

 prices of all kinds of home-grown wool have been well sup- 

 ported ; but the demand has been wholly confined to limited 

 quantities. For exporf, very little has been doing ; neverthe- 

 less, as the stocks in the manufacturing districts continue 

 light, holders have declined to press sales.

BRADFORD WOOL MARKET, (Thursday last,)— As 

 usual at Christmas time, the wool market is in a very inactive 

 state. Some staplers, indeed, lepott a rather improved in- 

 quiry over last week, but if there is any, it does not alter the 

 tone of the market. There are still very few buyers, and 

 little wool has changed hands. The currency of several weeks 

 back is firmly maintained — bright-haired wools, for which, of 

 course, there is most demand, being especially firm. The 

 stocks on hand for the time of year are not an average. 

 Noils and brokes are firm, and taken up as produced. — Brad- 

 ford Observer, 



LIVERPOOL WOOL MARKET, Dec. 22. 



Scotch.— There is still only a limited demand for Laid 

 Highland. Stocks are light, holders stiff, with prices looking 

 forward to a better demand after the turn of the year. White 

 Highland is scarce, and enquired for. Cheviot of a good class 

 is in fair demand, while the lower classes are neglected.
