WOOL AND WOBSTED.—Blariroati, Fan. 36.
There is very little business doing in wool to-day. In down
wools there is rather more animation, at full prices, but in
most wools staplers are disposed to concede a little to force
Wes. There are few new orders given out fur rem, except
at low rates, which ere very difficult to obtain. The high
prise of wool reader reduction impossible. The uneasy
feeling in Germany makes foreign houses operate with great
caution and avoid speculation. The piece-mai ket has been
pretty well attended, bat the merchants are morn cautious
In buying than of late. The fear of being left with a stock
of any importame at the extreme rates, in came of se early
or sudden settlement of American affairs, or complications
which might arise out of the Polish affair, is so ap-
parent that business has assumed a hand-to-mouth
character. Manufacturers, acting in the same cautious
manlier, abstain from the purchase of warps, except
such as are wanted for hamediate requirements, the
consequence of which is that cotton warps are to-day quoted
lower, though the market at Liverpool is firmer ; consider-
able orders, however, an still unexecuted, and some time
will neosisarily elapse before the deliveries fromithe maker to
the merchant can be completed. Dyers and finishers are,
at present, uncommonly busy and much behind in their
deliveries. The transactions of the day have been unim-
portant. Lots have been much looked after, but the ex-
tant to which stocks are reduced render the task of meet-
ing with anything suitable very difficult ; some little
demand has sprung up, and a few orders are offered in
Orleans for printing. Low Union Listless are also in better
request. Buyers are able to operate at rather less than last
week.

LACE AND HOfEKßY.—Norrtsonsu, Fla 26.—We
regret that we cannot report any improvement in the prin-
cipal branches of the lace trade. Whilst the price of cotton
still tends upwards, yarns and twist also show a correspond-
ingtrodency, and many alarm of cheap goods cannot be
odd without a positive lom upon the cost of their produc-
tion. There are not so many foreign buyers about as during
last week, and for most of the home market' the demand
is quiet. There is no material change in the silk trade ;
black lace trimmings and narrow edgings are more in
request than any other class of goods.—The hosiery trade
has again become depressed, and this week there are rather
fewer inquiries for goods, both for shipment and home con-
sumption. But for a few small orders having been received
from Australia, our report must have been of a very gloomy
character, and we fear that many operatives are but per.
Many employed, and some others wholly out of work.
There are, however. mo grounds for despondency, as stocks
are becoming very low, and this is usually the quietest sea-
son in the year.—Nottinghast Journal.

there was a short supply of English wheat, but the currency
lot this day week was baray supported. Rather more

lad week. Beans no lower.

NIWBURT, FM 26.—We had a small supply of wheat,
which far exceeded the demand, the trade being exceed-
ingly dull at fully le. per qr. less money on the small quan-
tity sold. Less barley offering, the trade rather better at
en advance of la Oata continue at late rate.. Beans and
peas still dull.
