STATE OF TRADE.

MAsrenesratt.—,This being a holyday week. a very small
amount of business has been done, and the country houses have
been Particularly flat. Some of the manufacturers of 57-inch
Power-loom printers say they have great inquiries for cloth, and
contracts have been made to deliver for the next two months at
t! full prices of last week. We are not surprised that the mer-
lantS and rinters anxious to make contracts to be de-
leted for thpe autumnare trade, for stocks are too light to admit
of any decline in price, and we anticipate a good trade for the
'''aaincier of the year. 27 inch 66's may he quoted 5s to 5s 6d,

LNEDs.—The Woollen business still continues brisk in this
district, not only for export but on domestic account, with every
Prospect of a continuance of the demand. for some time to
:ene:at lERSPIELn MARKET.—The demand for both Plain and
`neY Goods at this market on Tuesday was very good; and,
speaking, late prices were realised ; but in the wool
market there was scarcely a corresponding activity, probably
')Wlng to fim. the Whitsuntide Holidays, and prices are not quite so
"liaAtroan Maairwr.—There was a fair attendance of mer-
chants el this market on Thursday, but the business done was
nt above the average amount. Stocks are low, and as the Au-
&ln
ltan
trade is expected to commence shortly, still greater acti-
D'ices vrislooked for. The yarn market was tolerably active, but
were ltY no means firm. The demand for combing wools
*as Pretty considerable, at late rates.

HOSIERY ,s en LACE TRADES.—The wrought cotton hose
branch continues slow'y to improve. In this comity the fine
trade is reviving; while the coarse trade is becoming in a man-
ner half stagnant : 'we allude to those under 30-guage. Consi-
derable hopes are now entertained of a new market for these
staple articles of full-fashioned stock'ngs—as orders are,com-
pleting of 'women's and maid -' hose, having 'feet two or more
inches shorter than the usual length these are -supposed to be
Made for China. The cotton cut-up hose branch, after the late
stormy turn-out, 'has come to a perfect lull, as the workmen
have attained a slight advance. 7he cotton glove trade re-
Mains in m dell the same State, the hands being well employed—
and, as in the cot-up branch, agitation has ceased. The dilk
brarrches,in,thisvicinity were not improved ; but plain silk hose
and gloves-have revived in Derby and the county, the frames
being'in much 'better repair. The bobbin-net trade, except in
some peculiar articles, is very dull, and we hear of same of the
mactine owners making
