ST.4TE OF I'RADIK

LEICESTER.—There is a full average amount of
business doing this week in the regular hosiery
branch. The fancy department is quiet, and but
little shipping doing at present. The operatives,
however, are generally employed, and the aspect of
our market is healthy. Worsted yarns are dull of
sale, but there is no pushing of stock in the mar-
ket. The mills are fully employed. Wools are
firm, but purchases are only made for present re-
quirement.—Leicester Journal of yesterday.
NOTTINGIIAM.--Frolll various causes our trade
continues dull. The long winter and present cold
weather tends to check home demand. The unset-
tled political aspect of affairs on the Continent in-
fluences the German trade. We cannot at present
see much prospect of any great increase in demand,
and recommend great caution both on the part of
machine-holders and manufacturers, as nothing but
the very high prices of both silk and cotton can
keep up the present rate of goods. It is gratifying
to be able to state, in the midst of the depression
which continues so long to afflict the lace trade,
that the hosiery manufacture pursues its quiet and
prosperous course, affording the manufacturer a fair
share of profit and remunerative employment for
the working people. Nottingham Journal of
yesterday.

The first journal ever published in Morocco has
just appeared. It is printed at Tetuan, in the Spanish lan-
guage, and is distributed gratuitously. It bears the name
of the _Echo of Tetuan. It gives a favourable account of
rthe mode of living at Tetuan. The Moors, who are natu-
illy. generous, give up their rooms and furniture to the
Spaniards, treating them as visitors and allies. The town
is very animated, and will, it is expected, soon become a
place of some importance.
A printing-office and a lithographic establishment
has recently been formed for the first time in Greenland,
and a work published by it has just made its appearance. A. Gorman journal in mentioning the fact says :—" It is en-
titled the Kaladit Okalluktualliait, and is a collection of
legends written and printed by natives in the Greenland
language with a Danish translation. The work is embel-
lished with twelve engravings on wood executed by a native
(the Greenlanders are skilful in such work), and contains
also eight national songs with words and music, and alto-
gether forms a work as interesting as it is original."
