TH3 EASTERN VIIIHRBIZB.—The herring fishery on
the east coast is drawing to a close, and on the whole
the results have been encouraging to those concerned.
During the laid fortnight or three weeeks the quantity
of fish has increased, while their quality has improved.
There has, however, been a considerable loss sustained
in nets in consequence of the late heavy gales One boat
lies during the past season taken 70 lasts, each last con-
, slating of 10,000 fish ; but the general average has uot
; exceeded 40 lasts. Prices during the last few days have
i ranged at from £lB to ra per last.
I LEaciterre, Dec. 14.—Thedem5nd for most classes of
' hosiery is falling of, but this is the period of the year
when trade usually slacken*. The season has been a
good one. There is very little stock on hand, and the
next season's demand is expected to be brisk. The
work people both in the country districts and in the
town are well employed for the time of the year.
Yarns are not so much in request. Wools are less
Arm.
NorriNottAm. Dec. 14.—There has been fully as much
doing during the last few days as in the week pre-
viously in the lace trade. The German buyers are buy-
ing to s certain extent, and the foreign houses are dem-
' dedly more busy. The American orders are limited, and
the home trade is yet depressed. After Christmas, how-
ever, a change for the better is expected future pros-
pects being encouraging. The work-people engaged in
lace-making are not well employed, nor have they been
for some time past. The buisery trade continues iu •
satisfactory state for the time of tire year. There is less
d g for home consumption, and this branch will not
thoroughly revive until the commencement of the new
I year. The foreign orders have been good, and the trade
` generally is in a very healthy state. Yarns are without
material change in price.
