WOOL AND WORSTED.—BRADFORD, Dec. s.—The
American difficulty still operates to check business. There
is so much suspense that everybody refrains from adieu VU
some tidings can be obtained as to the intention of the
Federal government. Sows holders of wool, who do not
Dope for the best, seemed rather inclined to do badman,
even at a slight decline in price, hut there is very little dis-
position to buy, even at a decline, especially at the high
rates which are current. The other departments of the
trade wore the earns aspect or indisposition to do business,
except where necessity or au evident advantap is offered.
Everyone is wishful to postpone purchases as bag as possi-
ble, pending the reply froni the American government. The
continental houses are quiet. There is little demand
from abroad. The business doing for France is not so brisk
as it was. A check has been given to it. Still many manu-
facturer, will be well employed fur that new market for
some time.

1108113317 AND LACE TRADES.—NOTTENOHAM, DEC.
5. —ln most branches of the lace trade there is very little
alteration to note, this not being the sewn for the home
market, and the troubled state of politics abroad forbidding
any extensive transactioos for export. There are, however,
a few Denman buyers about, just to keep us from sinking
into hopeless despondency, for which many of the smaller
houses have such a penchant. In the hosiery trade there is
a fair mount of business doing for English consumption,
though the rumour about hostilities with America has at
last produced a little more ease in the yarn market, and
perh►psp caused corresponding caution in dealers of the
manuhetared articles. Such a state of things netinally
causes thectiletion, but it tends to keep down stocks ;
in at.y cause, there must be a still further rise in
manufactured goods, of which our local men:heats and
their workpeople will thrive the advantage in due time.—
