STATE OF TRADE.

LF.ICEATER. Oct. 3.—For the time of the year there is
• (sir iniotint of business doing ; the hosiery trade gene-
rally being in in healthy state. In the country shstricts
business cuntinuca fiat, hut not more Si than is Simla! at
this period of the year. High Iris are asked for wool,
and the market continues firm. Yarns have undergone
no change in price,

NoTriisoit;ti, Oct. 3. There has been very little
doing in the lace warehouses this week, in conmaineinie
of liusincas having been impelled by the Isolyilays of the
annual fair. There is not much clump' to to ; plain
goods are rather more inquired for, an.l there is fully as
much doing in fancies as for several weeks The
silk lace trinle remains quiet. There is no favourable
change to report in the hosiery trade. Very little is
doing in ary department, but both in lace and hosiery
manufacturers are making as little stock as possible. A
goisllle..l of lace and hosiery machinery has been stand-
ing this week, and numbers of the operatives continue
out of work. Yarns are unchanged in price.
TIIE FIIENCH far as cm at present be
ascertained the new French tariff for iron and its manu-
factures has been received with satisfacti ~,, by the
trade. Its great feature is the plac:tig all rolled iron,
irrespective of size or quality, on loue uniform duty of
70f per 1.000 kilogrammes. t.**2 Ws. ii I. per ton, and
practically 'minding hoop iron On the same terms.
Fliis is an immense advance in simplilhation on the old
tariff, and altliough at per 1.000 kilogrammes will
shut out 111 ordinary times railroad and cheap common
bar iron, yet it is thought we shall, after a latter know-
ledge of the French requirements, send our superior
qualities and extra small sizes fur consumption into the
littoral ports of France. At present the decree has
caused no alterati ~,, in prices on this side,the stocks and
paucity of orders being felt seriously hr the makers
throughout the country. Nothing ma said iii the decree
as to a differential duty in favour of the French A.mg.
This ditfereive will increase, if continued, the duty 10
per cent., if shippoi hy English vessels. Also the sys-
tem of permitting in French exporter of French iron to
import duty flee • similar quits ~ i, y of iron still 1.011-
tinues ; and these penni.iions being regularly still they
impart a ni.eit objectionable degree of tine rtaimmy and
411.1,01it11/11 to the trade. Nevertheless, the feeling auto
the new dut:es is on the whole favourable, an I in INA
there will be a further reduction of 'butt 15 per rent.
Tye consumption of wine since tl.e re luction of duty
has siarerly realized the antidp diens entertained.
Periods of transition, however, are always unsatisi
