 ment of the season, are about 1,500 firkins short of what they 

 were up to this time last year. Prices have declined consider- 

 ably, and have still a downward tendency. Since Monday,

WOOL MARKETS. 

 ENGLTSH WOOL MARKET. 

 LONDON, Monday, May 27.— There is only a limited 

 amount of business doing in all kinds of English wool, both 

 for home use and export ; nevertheless, prices are supported. 

 The supply in the liauds of the staplers is rather limited for 

 the time of year, and the stocks held in the manufacturing 

 districts are comparatively trifling.

BRADFORD WOOL MARKET, (Thursday last).— The 

 indisposition to buy continues, and becomes every week more 

 apparent. The present prices almost entirely preclude busi- 

 ness, and when sales are forced, some concession must be 

 made. The supply of wool held by the trade is an average 

 one for the time of the year, and a larger quantity is left over 

 in the country than was to be found last year. It is thought 

 that this, coupled with the probable heavy clip this year, must 

 cause a degree of caution on the part of buyers until there is 

 an amendment in the demand for yarns. Noils and Brokes : 

 There is no quotable change to report either in demand or 

 ftice.— Bradford Observer. 



LEEDS (English and Foreign) WOOL MARKETS, 

 Friday. — There has been very little doing in English or any 

 sort of wool during the week, and prices continue without 

 material alteration. The new clip of English wool will prove 

 mucli heavier than that of last year, and will come to market 

 during this fine weather in much better condition. 



YORK WOOL MARKET, May 23. — The quantity of 

 wool shown to-day, the first market for the new clip, has been 

 between thirty and forty sheets, with a fair number of buyers. 

 Moat of the lots were sold. Ail ewe fleeces 20s. to 2l8., half 

 hog and ewe 2l8. to 22s., hogs and wethers 22s. to 238., all 

 hog (if good-bred and in clean, tub- washed condition) 23$. 6d. 

 to 24s. 6d. per stone. — YorfcsJnre Gazette, 



LIVERPOOL WOOL MARKET, May 25.
