SIATE OF 7RADE.

DUNDEE, Oct. 7.—There was more life in the mar-
ket today than on Friday. The importation of flax
into Dundee and the four neighbouring ports to the
30th of September this year is 30,969 tons, against
23,755 tons to the same period last year. Into Hul
it is 10,126 tons, against 7,697 tons in 1861. The
total excess into the six ports is therefore 10,643
tons this year beyond last year, but only 2,783 tons
beyond the average of the last four years. The im-
portation into Dundee is still extensive. Twenty-
five vessels with flax have arrived this month. This
is not considered beyond the requirements of the
trade. A moderate business has been done to-days
chiefly in small parcels. In some instances a fur-
ther small advance has been obtained for some
marks. The importation of tow and codilla into
Dundee and the four neighbouring ports and Hull
is 6,976 tons to the 30th of September this yeat%,
against 6,749 last year. The average importation
for the last four years to same period is 7,435 tons,
being 459 tons more than the quantity arrived this
year. Fine tows quite maintftin their value, but
the transactions reported are small. Common
qualities are dull, and rather cheaper. Jute keeps
up well in the south, and disappoints spinners here,
who looked for lower prices. There is now more
inquiry for the article here. There was a good
inquiry for flax and tow yarns to-day. jute yarns
are quiet and irregular in price, but generally in
favour of the buyer. The demand for fine linens
keeps up well. The 'West India advices are favour-
ble. In North America a large business continues
to be done in heavy goods for war purposes and for
grain bags.

LEICESTER, BTH.--The hosiery trade remains
ctive, and the amount of business doing during the
past few days has been of a satisfactory character.
Plain and useful goods continue in demand, and
manufacturers are busy in completing orders. At
Loughborough and Hinckley business is steady, and
the operatives are well employed. There are no
stocks of any class of goods on hand. Yarns hold
high in price, and spinners are well engaged. There
is no important change in wools, tb.e market being
firm and prices high.

NOTTINGHAM, BTH.—The lace trade this week is
dull, which may be still attributed to the high price
of cotton, which leaves manufacturers no margin at
all for profit, for if they sell now they must do so at
a loss in proportion to the price of yarns. This
must inevitably lead to the working of short time.
The London trade has been very quiet, the fine
weather keeping people away from town. The
French trade is also quiet, in consequence of the
high prices of goods. The Leipsic fair is now being
held ; but hitherto it has been quiet. The
Italian trade is slow, as it usually is at this
time of the year. Very little is doing for the
American States. The hosiery business is dull;
!Lw buyers have visited the market. Prices of all
classes of goods continue very high, and none are
making extept to order.
