TOPMAKEiRS'ATTITUDE,, .... L ' ' /LONDON, Juily*24, Mr W. Devereux, representative of the Australian Woolgrflwtrs’ Council, reports .that the reaction 1 which occurred 'during the dosing days of the London sales, as well as the rromer.tous happenings in Germany, ■ had no iserious effect on the wool centres • -at Bradford. Spinners apparently covered their -present 'requirements,* and 'are not; dii-posed to fol’ow the upward’.trend. Topniakers generally ■ -are adopting a firm attitude, and. are not making ■ concessions. Moderate business is passing at late rates in'Merino tops, but th'-'re is very little business in cross-bred (tops. Prices are slightly in buyers' favour. There are slightly better re-

ports from . France, but the Belgian trade continues 'inactive.
