MARKETS.

TALLOW.—SATIIIIDLI EVl2o2lo.—The market sru firm
today :—Spot, 40s. 9d. to 415.; January, 41s. 3d. to 41s. 6d.;
March, 425. 6d. Delivery to last evening, 2,062 auks;
arrivals, 2,612 casks

oorroN.—LiviaeooL, Deo. 19.-rA rather better
tone was eTiooed to-day, and holders were firmer under the
easier money market. Priem were to a slight extent in
favour of sellers. The %minus of the day was 4,000 helm,
including 1,500 to exporters end speculators.

COTTON GOODS.—Msucluurrint, Dec. 19.—The yarn
and cloth market has been exceedingly Bat throughout the
week, and up to the ekes of business today nothing ham
occurred denoting any permanent improvement. There was
rid to be a slightly better feeling yesterday morning, but it
did not lead to any actual business worth speakiog of. Want
of confidence is betrayed in the fact that shippers are un-
willing to enter into °attracts, or purchase cloths unless in
stock and available for immediate shipment; while
on the other hand manufacturers are disposed to
@top their mills unless they oan obtain contracts
at prioes which either yield a profit or at least ligkten the
lose which is inseparable from allowing their machinery to
stand idle. Many manufacturers have preferred not stood-
ing the markets this woes, anticipating falling prices. In the
few transactions which have taken place in cloth prices
have been against sellers, and the market has had a droop-
ing tendency all the week. Home trade yarns have declined
during the week id. per lb. sod the class of them called
Blackburn yarns (Ws and under) have sold in some cuss
at a decline of Id. per lb. In shipping wee, yesterday,
some of the leading sellers reported that the downward
course of prices seemed to have received some cheek, but
there was scarcely any business effected. A good mazy
spinners sod manufacturer seem to have the impression
that the only way to cheek the decline will be to lessen
production, and it is expected that some of them will be
driven to this course rather than incur the ruinous loss
involved by selling at the rates now obtainable the goods
made from the reletively high priced cotton.

WOOLLEN CLOTH.—Lc►Ds, Die. 19.—There was
agsin a fair demand this mania/ for light fabrics for the
coming spring, but with the exception of thew there was
not much doing in either hall. The attendees' of buyers
was tolerably numerous. Prior are fully 11011iLiBlet.

HARDWARE.—Biltinisqnut, Dec. 19.—The trade of
this town contioare brisk. The merchants' order given out
dories the but fortnight have been small, and are now at an
end for the year, bat in the home trade there is no decline
whatever; manufacturers are all well corned, and have
sufficient to keep them going up to the end of the quarter :
such is the case in all the principal brioches. For fenny goods
there has been a better demand of late, and stocks have
been to some extent reduced. The demand for material is
on the increase—a very unusual occurrence at this period of
the year. The reports from the adjoining districts are all of
them more or lees satisfactory ; all the salines, and indeed
labour of every class to well employed, and In some
departments the scarcity of it is felt. At the foundries
business is brisk ; there is a steady demand far railway tit•
tinge, amply sufficient to keep the large works in full opera-
. tiou. On the Dudley side of the county there is an unusual
amount of activity ; the outing trade is brisk ; sad from the
neighbourhood of Bton:bridge there are reports to the same
effect, except as to the glass trade of that locality, in which
some degree of slackness is felt. The iron trade continues
remarkably buoyaot, to such an extent is this the cue that
some el those engaged in it are actually in favour of a rise
of 30e. per ton ; the more general feeling is. however, in
(avow of 11. This matter will be determined at the preli-
minary meeting to be held on the but day of the year at
Wolverhampton.
