From the J,ec f's Mercury of to-day—" More gools have
been delivered te order and ,i'dd at the Cloth Halls this week than foe a long time past. The stocks on band of new-made goads are very small : and the natural consequences of wools having sold at higher prices a. the late sales, in- duce the manufacturers to hold very firm to their prices. A consider- able noun' er of drapers have been over at market during the week ; which has caused business to be brisk in the warehouses."
