STATE OF TRADE.

LEICESTER, Dec. 27.—Very little has been doing,
this week in the hosiery trade, the Christmas holi-
days having interfered with business generally. In
the rural districts trade remains quiet. Future pro-
spects of the hosiery trade generally are encouraging.
Worsted yarns are firm, and high prices are quoted.
There is no material change in wool, which continues
dear. Cotton yarns are unaltered in value. The
hosiery and yarn markets are each bare of stock.
NOTTINGHAM, Dec. 27.—Business in the lace trade
has been interrupted this week by the almost gene-
ral closing of the warehouses on Monday and Tues-
day. No transactions of any importance are ex-
pected to take place until the new year has well
commenced. The plain net trade continues flat,
and there is not much doing in fancy goods. The
silk branch is for the most part inactive. There is
a little doing in Mechlins and quillings, and a few
orders for black laces are in course of completion.
Narrow edgings are not in request. The hosiery
trade has been also interrupted by the annual holi-
days. The demand, however, for goods remains
very active. Foreign orders are plentiful, and the
home trade is fully as active as it usually is at this
time of the year. Yarns remain firm and high in
price.

THIEVES AT A COURT DINNER.—The Grand Mar-
shal of the Court at Berlin has given notice to the police
that on the occasion of the State dinner given to the Court
in honour of the Princess Alexandrine's marriage, some
ill advised persons stole several pieces of plate, and in par-
ticular two silver dishes, ten large spoons, and five forks of
the same metal, with a dozen spoons and forks in plated
ware, without doubt supposed to be silver.
