WORSTED STUFFS, &c —BRAIWO&D, JULY I.
There was a good attendance and an active market in the Piece Had
to-day, thanks to the fineness of the weather. Ikeldes an improvement
in the demand for the tierman markets, more extensive purchases
were made for home consumption ; and so the stocks are low any con-
siderable augmentation of the demand will be immediately telt by the
half-employed Labourers. The yarn market did not participate vary
largely in the increased c tient of the clay's sales, bet late rates were
generally realised. The weal market wee not particularly settee, as
several of the spinner" base lately supplied themselves at the local

iiOSIERY AND LACE TRADES. —Norrraorrax,
Jut, 2.—The cotton hosiery trade, though a shade improved, is still
In a oust depressed condition. The worsted trade in Leicester and
the vitality Is in a far wore condition than the cotton trade min tide
diatriet. Such is the extent of mice distreea in that place, that the
working population have resorted to a wholesale systemof begging,
and liter:My besiege the churches and chapela, saliciting for alma.
The destitution of the working population of the midland commies
will force the condition of the people, and its came, again upon the
consideration of parliament.. The wrought hose branches are in the
Lest condition, the cut-up system being so much on the decline, that
the hands have little hopes of being set on again, many of them
having been nearly three month, unemployed. There was, however, s
plight change for the better in the silk glove branch; but'
the system of cutting the thumbe incremes the quantity made
by the same number of hands, and deterioratm from the cha-
racter of the articles fabricated.—The drawer and pantaloon
branch, though extremely dull, and many frames ate standing, is
still much better than the cut-up hose trade, though both are made
from wide frames. -The cotton glove trade, which is very extenaire
in mete villages in tide comity, is in a better Mate, as regards em-
ployment, than the bore manufactures, though suffering severely
from the cut system—The silk hose trade, whether plain, knotted,
or lance, is in the most declining and depressed s:ate, and seems at
length Lilt doomed to become extnet. —The Utley bobbin-net trade
Mill keeps in a very stagnant gate, and, se regarda the traverse warp
machines, the greater part are either standing or about to be stotme
—There Is rattier an extended demand for silk nets, whether warp ar
