-ouring the last fortnight there has been again
_..,ewhat favourable reaction in the trade at Bolton. Ma-
nufacturers have had less difficulty in parting with their goods
and work has been rather more freely dealt out to the wea-
vers. Muslins and various fancy goods have received an en-
couraging demand, but without any increased offer of prices.

BRADFORD, THURSDAY.—WOOI Market: This market
has become more abundantly supplied with middle and lower
qualities of combing wools, and the stocks may now be con-

sidered an average. In prices there is but little variation.—

TRADE OF LEEDS.—A good business is still doing in man-
ufactured woollens, though there has been nothing particu-
larly worthy of note in the Cloth Halls during the past week.
The finer qualities of cloth and fancy fabrics are rather more
in request ; but no change in prices can be stated.—Leeds
Intelligencer, of Saturday.

HUDDERSFIELD
.MARKET.—The late fine weather has
again improved the demand for fancy goods, and a good deal
of business was done in them, here on Tuesday. For plain
cloths too there was rather more inquiry, especially for those
of the finer qualities.—Mid.

good attendance of merchants, but only a very

few yooo samples or UlanketS were shown ; indeed, there is
now a great scarcity of good blankets, and manufacturers feel
disposed to stand still rather than make at the prices which
such goods have been selling at lately. On Thursday there
was a very thin attendance of eith,,r merchants or manufae-
tarers. and a proportionately diminished business was done.

ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, JUNE 19th.
There has been a brisk thmand for flannels to-day, at former
prices, and the merchants have purchat.ed very freely. The
wool market has been the very opposite : manufacturers buy
very sparingly, and for immediate use only. Considerable
difference of opinion prevails as to the prices obtained at the
London wool sales this last week, which has had its effect
upon the market. •
LEICESTER HOSIERY TRADE.—Trade is worse this week

than last. Thl
the hands refus

glove branch is in a very confused state, as
to work at reduced prices, and some of the
manufacturers decline to give out work until some regulation
or settlement of prices has been adopted. Great jealousy
exists among the glove manufacturers, who have been under-
mining one another for some months past. It is considered
that the wide frames in Nottinghamshire making cut-up
gloves has been the primary t ause of this state of things, and
there is great anxiety in the minds of the manufacturers lest
they should be compelled to adopt the same fraudulent sys-
tem. The consequences of this line of conduct remain to be
seen. The manufact•---
"

...acture of larobs'-wool and worsted, now
...cituted for cotton for some time to come, is in a very
dull state; and low as wages are, peculations are still made,
so that the workmen in general conceive their prospects for
the future are very gloomy. The f--

, ......ancy trade is giving em-
ployment to a considerable number of workpeople, but not so
many as last season.—Nottinfiham Journal, of Friday.
HOSIERY AND LACE TRADES.--Tile. wrought cotton hose
branch
.in the county of Nottingham still continues in fair

demand ; but we are sorry to add, that, in some parts of
Derbyshire; this is not the case, many of the hands being out
of employment. The cotton glove branch may be said to be

rather brisk at Bulwell, which is the principal seat of that
manufacture ; but, from what we can learns the seeds of its
sure destruction are sown, as gloves are made from wide
frames, having no fashion whatever. The silk glove branch
is in a most depressed state. The silk knotted trade is by no
--rious.

The fancy bobbin-net trade is in a tolerably flourishing con-
dition upon the whole ; the plat t nett, however, is the dullest,
as many of the machine-owners complain that they cannot
sell their nets. The cause of this dullness is said to be the
cloudiness of the lace. A new manufacture has arisen, which
promises to be of an infinite, nay, of almost incalculable, im-
portance to the lace-manufacturers. This is the adopting of
lace window curtaing ; they are now made with the hand by
the skewer, and are ornamented op the edges in gathered
festoons, and in thc interior with stripes and gatherings, much
in the manner of cap laces. Nothing can possibly be more
light and elegant ; their brilliancy and novelty almost appear•

ing startling at first sight, on entering a well-furnished room.
Their great beauty and usefulness is their transparency, and
they act as a complete shade without darkening an apartment,
the great fault of other curtains. The meshes are made not
quite a quarter of an inch in size. If .generally introduced,
it is doubtful if the market would be supplied by all the
power-machines in the kingdom.--. Mid.

much pleasure in staring that several of our large manufac-
turing houses, during the last fortnight, have not only in-
creased the number of their workmen, but given those who
had long been on short time full work.—Sheffield Iris.
