the exuand for goods. The wool market, of course, shared
general activity, but as there was a large supply on hand,
the staplers complained of the want of remunerating prices.
HALIFAX MARKET.—The attendance at this market on Sa-
turday Was not quite so extensive as of late, and there was a
rroportionate diminution in the amount of business done; yet
the demand for Yarns was considerable; and a good business
Was done in Wools for combing, as well as in Noils and broke
wools, which fetched late prices.

LETCESTER.—Both in Wools and Yarns there is a decided
firmness of price, the tendency being upwards. In the autumn
home trade more is doing; and there is general full amount of
employment throughout the trade.—Leicester Chronicle.

HOSIERY AND LACE TRADES.—The wrought cotton-hose
branch still keeps retrograding, and many of the masters find
treat difficulty in keeping their frames going; this equally refers
te Derbyshire as to Nottinghamshire. On the other hand,

nourishing condition as far as regards employment, with this
extraordinary anomaly, that in many branches of industry the
females who are employed in Leicester earn more money than
e stockingers. The cut-up cotton-hose branch is still ex-
