LACE AND HOSTERY.—Norrnictum, JAN. 2g.-
With a somewhat firmer market for yarns than fur several
weeks past business &t the lace warehouses is more
animated, there being a fair demand for the home markets
and for Canada, while the trade with America's still
almost nil. The hosiers alao speak in more cheerful term■
of their prospects, as some home houses are purchasing
wore freely, and there are other hopeful symptoms in
various broaches of the trade.—Nottinghant Journal.

WOOL AND WORSTED.—BILLDTOID, JAN. M.—The
public sales of wool which took place last week have
tended to strengthen the tone of to-day's wool market.
Although spinners have to some extent supplied their
wants there is still a good demand for certain aorta, such
as Lincoln wetliers, which are scarce, and have
somewhat of a hardening tendency. The improve-
nient, however, does not seem to arise from abso-
lute increase in consumption, and is more appa-
rent than real. In worsted yarns some spinners
report rather more inquiry, whilst others state that they
are doing nothing. There is a disposition to seek higher
rates, but so far they are unsuccessful. 40's single for
Russia are in better request, as are also• in some quarters,
two-fold 32's and 36's ; also low 30's singles. Corded
yarns are unchanged. Prices are quite as low as they
have been, and there are some spinners who have actually
made a concession in the low prices current. No improve-
ment has taken place in the demand for goods, unless we
may except from this—lastings, camlets, and serge-de-
berries, which during the last 'fortnight have been in
better demand, and commanded rather better prices. No
change can be reported in any other class of goods. The
home houses are operating sparingly. Some orders are
placed ia certain styles of fancy goods. The American de-
mend is much the same as hitherto. A steady business
continues to be done for Germany. There is no change in
prices.
