STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, Nov. 29.—The market is quiet, but in
some quarters a litttle more business is reported as doing.
There is also a better feeling in the market, but sellers
are unable to command better prices. The home trade
houses are doing rather more business, and buyers for
Germany are making more inquiries after goods in anti-
cipation of the close of the season. For India very little
business has been effected. Two more millowners have
given notice of reduction of wages to their workpeople,
and the gradual extension of the short-time movement
is, no doubt, one cause of the rather firmer tone of the
market.

NorrrNarram, Nov. 29.—The Americans are operating
to a slight extent in the lace trade, and them are good
prospects of coming activity. There is not much doing
in the genral lace trade, and the fancy branches are also
dull. The state of the hosiery trade is, on the whole,
satisfactory. Orders to a considerable extent have been
received for the United States. Stocks are very low,
and there are anticipations of a good trade setting in.
There is a reduction in the price of wools.
