STATE OF TRADE.

The cut-up cotton hose branch has suddenly be'
come much worse, and numbers of hands have been
discharged. This depression has, to some ex tent,
reached the wrought hose branch in some of the '6l'
lages, who are suffering severely, but not to tho
tent of the town hands. In the midst of so mum
real depression, the evil is much aggravated by rill:
mours, which we find, upon inquiry, to be wit`llo°'
foundation. The drawer branch, with some of the
firms, has felt a depression, and rumour has much in..
creased this evil also. The cotton glove trade has 11
improved, and is not likely to do so, as the hosier-.
Leicester are discharging glove hands in great
numbers ; the panic in the Leicester trade
which had subsided a few months since, bas
recommenced. The silk glove branch is much
worse, and the hands are in a most deplorable
state. We have heard of a few knotted hands
having been set on upon a " stint." The (lotto:111
bobbin net trade has again as suddenly recoNrered,
as it unexpectedly fell, and the bags are again setn.
upon the move. This proves upon what a slight
foundation this business is placed, as the slightest
occurrence raises or depresses the manufacture. 1,11.°
silk bobbin net is yet in the best condition, and is
likely to be so, as these articles are quite the vogue in
Paris, and of course in London, and in southern
Eu-
rope. We find a good number of eight-quarter cir-
culars have been removed from France to Spehh
principally to Catalonia, Arragon, and Biscay few'
Englishmen manage them. If these machines are t°
make silk nets, to supersede Spanish made point net,
the speculation will be a complete failure, as bobbin:
net is utterly unfit to be ornamented in the sanemanner that point net has been so long done in Spy''
The cotton warp net is certainly a little gaintlig
ground : a new machine, called a Mule, has been
started at New Lenton, with great advantage; it
combines the frame needle with the bobbin and car-
riage. This may appear strange to mechanics. It i 4
kept a profound secret, though several machine
owners wish to obtain the method; the inventor
having no faith in protection from patents, keeps his
shop doors fast, and the hands earning good wages 9.1:e
as anxious to keep the secret as their master.—No''
