ENGLISH BUTTER MARKET. 



LONDON, Monday, Feb. 25.— The high price of fine 

 Butter keeps our market in a dull state. Of inferior quality 

 there is a large quantity pressing upon the market, which is

 new-milk Dorset Butter showing here, that we cannot give 

 quotations for price.

LEEDS (English and Foreign) WOOL MARKETS, 

 Feb. 22. — The same chafacteristics of the English wool-trade, 

 and also of the foreign, continue as they have been for many 

 weeks. Prices are not materially altered, and the demand is 

 only to me^t the want of manufacturers, and these often 

 arising from a desire to keep the machinery running, rather 

 than a positive dea>and for goods,
