STATE OF TRADE.

LrrcEsrza.—The utmost caution is used by the manu-
facturers in making, and employment is getting more
lifficult. Tbis no doubt is partly owing to the worsted
:pinneri baying lowered the price of yarns id. per lb.
,his week, and the mills working short time, though the
present price of wools will scarcely warrant it.—Leicester
Journal.

NOTTINGIIAM.—We have had unusual prosperity in
)ur trade during the present year, for the Russian war
foes not seem to have made much impression on it, •in
this town at least, but the unfortunate apparent diffi-
,rulties existing between the United States and this
country arc throwing us back sadly ; but we still hope
this misunderstanding will terminate without recourse
-.;) arms. The lace trade has suffered very much in con-
equence, but the hosiery trade, iu some branches, is
iOnieWhat better, especially in coarse goods, worsted
Irawers, and all under garments. Nottinghaat
