STATE OF TRADE,

DUZIDEE, March I.—A moderate business con-
tinues to be done in flax on contract for shipment at
the various Russian ports at full prices. For flax
the spot there is more inquiry, and several transac-
tions are reported to-day. The finer marks are firmly
held, but the prices of common qualities is rather in
favour of buyers. To and cedilla are not very
demand for medium to fine
active, and prices are unchanged. There is a good
jute at late rates, but
common is still dull.
Yarns of all kinds were in
active request to-day, and a large business done in
them at a small advance on the prices current last
market day for flax and tow qualities. Jute yarns
have risen more than other sorts, and 71b are now
quoted 2s 91 to 2s 10d
a spindle. Orders for linens
continue to come forward freely, and manufacturers
are generally well foresold. Extensive transactions
are reported in jute goods,
the makers being gene-
rally largely sold in advance. Prices of the better
class of linens and also
of jute fabrics are still on the
advance, the rise being from 5 to 6 per cent. within
the last week.

LEICESTER, 2d.--Business in most departments of
the hosiery 'rade is improving. There has been a
fair demand for both fancy and regular goods. At
Loughborough and Hinckley trade is rather quiet.
The yarn market continues firm, and exceedingly
high prices are made, spinners being generally well
engaged. There is no material alteration in the price
of wools. There are no stocks of yarns or hosiery
on hand.

NOTTINGHAM, 2'l. There is not much alteration
in the lace trade this week. The demand for foun-
dation nets has fallen off considerably, and there is
not so much doing in Mechlin
quillings. The black
silk lace and narrow edging trade is extremel}, dull,
and indeed has been so for several weeks past. A
good business is doing in silk Mechlines, and silk
quillings are also selling tolerably well. Stocks of
all kinds of goods are kept exceedingly low. In
hosiery there has been a fair amount of business
doing. There aro some tolerable orders for shipping,
and the home trade is healthy. Yarns are firm,
without alteration in price.
