MARKETS.

LACE AND HOSlERY.—Norrltromut SRL 19..
There has been no improvement as yet in the lace trade
Hoe our last report, and the reports of large failures in
Russia, and the United States has a depressing effect upon
all branches of the trade. There is no alteration in pnoes.
In the hosiery warehouses also business is about as last
week : the home demand keeps quiet, and prices of yams
unchanged. There is perhaps rather more Inquiry fur

WOOL AND WORSTED.-1311ADFORD, SEPT.
The fiatnees which characterised the market on Motday
continues to-day. Spinners show great timidity in buying
wool, and staplers were all anxiety to sell. Prices are a
shade easier than last week. The principal cause of this
marked decline seems to be a general want of confidence.
Some also attribute much of the gloom to the adverse posi.
tion in France of the Credit Mobilier Company, and the
probability of its being wound up, inasmuch as this result
cannot fail to affect the commercial relations of this
country to some extent. The demand for worsted yarns is
very meagre indeed. The export merchants are scarcely
in the market, and wherever any appear their offers are so
low as scarcely to tempt the spinner to do busines. There
is • very fiat trade is home sorts, and, such as it is, is con-
fined almost exclusively to coloured yams, the demand for
which also has begun to slacken considerably. Prices are
very irregular. Whenever the seller sees a chance of dia.
posing of his stock, he is prepared to meet the buyers
almost on his own terms. In reference to the piece trade,
the time is" just between the seasons." It is come.
quently too early for the placing of orders. Very little
business has been done to-&y. Manufacturers, however,
expect a revival of business ere long, and a somewhat hope.
ful feeling prevails. The surprise now is that, with the
long continued torpor, manufacturers have been able to
keep their machinery so well employed. Prices are not
quotably changed from last week.
