WOOL AND WORSTED.—Baauroau, Mar L—Theft
is very little doing in wool. Spinners are chary abort
making purchaam, except to supply immediate and pressing
wants, anticipating a heavy clip, which may teed to reduce
the currency. All beery wools may be quoted at prime
which are a shads easier, but all wools of the liner deserip.
tioos are exceedingly fine. Both spinners and manufactu-
rers are pretty well employed for the home,trade, but there
is very little activity for the export houses. The beautiful
weather on the opening of the " merry month" MUM
cheerfulness and good spirits, and there will no doubt be
general activity ere long.

LACE AND HOSIERY.— Nurricontw, MAN I.—Lee:
We are glad to report that several of the large homes in the
lace trade have experienced a decided improvement in the
demand for all kinds of fabrics during the past week. The
fine weather has given an impetus to the spring tilde,
and the show of Nottingham goods for the Great Exhibi-
tion has also assisted in improving the tone of the trade.
Black silica are in good request, and guiltier are in tole-
rably fair demand. Narrow edgings also meet with a better
male. The continental and shipping Ueda are exhibiting
Ages of improvement, several lace orders having lately been
received from Germany and South America.—liosiery
The hosiery trade still oontinues u & depressed state, though
the display of our manufacturers at the Exhibition sod the
fine weather induce employers to hope that there will be
a reaction ere long. The high price of material is the gte►t
obstacle in the way of trade. The shipping trade is dull,
and all goods are being made to (Aden-111,46.740m5,
