HOSIERY AND LACE TRADES.
(From the Nottingham Journal.)
The cotton hosiery trade can scarcely be considered
worse ; the hands have in general some, though in many
cases not full employment. In some few instances there
is a slight demand for extremely fine eyelet-hole or lace
hose ; but, upon the whole, this fancy branch is but in a
very dull state, both in silk and cotton, scarce a third of
the former and not more than a half of the latter being
in full work. The cotton drawer, pantaloon, and shirt
branch, is yet in rather a depressed state ; but, upon
the whole, a sort of calm prevails as to the rate of wages
in most branches, nor do we hear of those har-
rassing encroachments being practised to the extent
to which it has been our painful duty so often to allude.
The passing of the Ticket Bill has not been without its
results, since it has made many of the hosiers rather
cautious lest the Legislature should interfere with
slimmer and more efficient measure. However low the
present state of the English hosiery trade, we must again
repeat that a very slight change, either in fashion or in
the restrictions put upon hosiery when imported into any
foreign state, would make this extensive manufactur,thne
a flourishing condition, as the moment the labour of
workmen came into demand, so as they coldu

The silk sticking trade is now scarcely ever men-
tioned, and is this week worse than ever; this: once ex-
tensive manufacture in almost every part of Europe
being on the decline. It i 5 best in Paris, Madrid. and
Rome; in the latter city it is rather upon the increase,
making Tyrian purple silk hose for the clergy. The
number of frames of all kinds in the once mistress of
the world exceeds 1,000. The exportation of frames to
the United States is not abated; this has caused some
description of frames in Leicester to advance in price.
The fancy bobbi,ig net trade is yet very dull. All
appears gloomy, even among the best informed, as we
are assured that London is now filled with French
machine-wrought laces, got up in a manner• quite supe-
rior, in every respect, to the Legliell productions. At

Manchester, so strong is the feeling upon this point
that they do not hesitate to say that the free-trade tariff
will act as a sponge upon Nottingham, and will wipe it
out of the list of manufacturing towns. Upon this
matter we advise them to look to themselves, as the
extensive export of spinning and power-loom machinery
by the ea, ern ports will be, ere long, felt by them, and
they will I,ewail in dust and ashes their lide infatuation.
The machinery of Nottingham require.. skilful and inge-
hiwas wo. kmen to manage it, in addition to its heavy
cost; but very few clever men can keep a spinning factory
going, the greater part of the process requiring only
enildreti's and unskilled labour. There was a time when
it required more skill than it does at present to spin by
machinery, and they must look for the day when Russia
will prohibit cotton twist as rigorously as she now pro-
hibits cotton stockings and cotton lace. Manchester
now having most ports open to receive her cotton thieads
has been long laughing at Nottingham, whose pro-
ductions are blocked from almost every shore. But her
time will come next, and the name of the League will
be held by them in execration, as they have been made
the dupes of Russian diplomacy.
The warp-lace trade in Nottingham and Stapleford
is not by any means amended ; it is, however, rather
upon the increase in London. In Leicester the lace-
trade is extinct, though it once employed 200 frames.
Still the looms, as they are called are not idle, being
turned to coarser gauges, they are making Berlin web
for gloves, and by various modifications many other
farpy articles ; amongst the most prominent in demand
is she worsted jacquard shawls.

MARKET NE WS-(YESTERDAY)-
CORN-EXCHANGE.
The past week's arrivals of English Wheat, though by no meting
large, were somewhat on the inc. ease, and of very superior quality.
Of all other kinds of Grain of home produce the receipts were on a
very limited scale. From Ireland and Scotland next to nothing came
to hand ; but from abroad very large supplies of Wheat, Oats, and
Flour were received. Fresh-up, a moderate supply of Wheat
was received from Essex, Kent, and Cambridgeshire, and
the stands exhibited a fair number of samples. The new
Corn-law being now in operation, and the importers of
Foreign busy in clearing their Grain, the demand for Wheat
of home produce was excessively dull, at a decline in the quota-
tions obtained on Monday last of from FOCA tO FIVE SHILLITIOS
per quarter, and at which a clearance was not effected. The ac-
counts which have come to hand from all parts of the coantry rela-
tive to the growing crops are very favourable. The show of foreign
Wheat was not to say large, yet the millers purchased that article
with extreme caution. However, we can notice no actual al-
teration in value, although prices were with difficulty supported.
The best malting Barley was quite as dear, but all other kinds had a
downward tendency. The quantity on offer was comparatively small.
Superfine white Malt was in fair request, and last week's currencies
were well supported. In all other kinds very few sales took place.
The show of English, Irish, and Scotch Oats was limited, but that of
foreign was on the increase. The Oat trade was very dull, at a de-
cline of from Is to 2s per quarter. Although very few Beans were on
offer, the demand tor them was heavy at late rates. In Peas next
to nothing was doing, at last week's quotations. The Flour trade was
extremely dull, and to sell lower prices must have been accepted.

Since Monday last the arrivals of foreign stock into London have
been moderately extensive—viz., 22 Oxen from Prussia, 20 ditto from
Hamburgh, 120 C0w5,,50 Oxeu, 150 Lambs, and 8 Calves from Hol-
land, comparatively speaking, in good condition. At Hull nearly
400 head of Beasts and Sheep have come to hand from Rotterdam,
and at Flynt( utis 40 Oxen from Spain. We had on offer about 250
foreign Beasts. 300 ditto Sheep, 80 ditto Lambs, and 6 ditto Calves,
with which the trade was tolerably steady, at fully previous quo;
tations. Fresh up from our own grazing districts the arrival o
Beasts were but moderate, though fully adequate to meet the wants
of the buyers, whose attendance was rather numerous. On the
whole, the Beef trade was steady, at an advance on last week's curs

NEWGATE AND LEADENUAIM.
The past week's arrivals of country slaughtered meat for our
markets have been seasonably extensive, and of fair average quality.
The supplies slaughtered in the metropolis having exceeded the wants
of the buyers, the general demand has been in a very inactive state,
and the prices have had a downward tendency. About 20 carcases
of foreign Beasts, and 300 ditto of Sheep, have appeared on sale, and
mostly found buyers at low currencies.
