COTTON GOODS.—MANCHESTER, Mar 9.—There h
been a gradual and steady improvement in this market
during the week, which evinces • higher degree of confi-
dence on the part of the trade than has existed for some
time past. There has been no excitement to cause a rush
among buyers, but there bas been • pretty evident desire
among shippers of both yarn and cloth to India, and China
to make purchases where prices have been at all moderate.
In cloths for India sales are reported in the wider makes of
45 and 54 inches as well as in 39-40 inch shirting& Of the
latter widths sales hare not been so much confined to the
lighter weights, but there has been some business in 841 b.
shirting.. Buyers for the home trade are not active, but are
doing rather morethan of late, and buyers for most markets
who have lately abstained from operating have shown more
anxiety to buy within the last day or two, probably in-
fluenced by the feeling that there is every indication of a
strengthening of prices. In fact, with the demand which
has lately sprung up, and seeing the extent to which the
market has been cleared of stocks, sellers have great en-
couragement to demand somewhat higher rate.. 'The large
business done at Liverpool in cotton, reported yesterday at
62,000 bales for the week, but now found to have been
90,000, with a rise of id. to id. per lb., tends also to give a
riming tendency to the market. The demand for yarns
during the week has been fur nearly all markets, including
a good business for the home trade in 32's to 60's cops ; and
counts and qualities suitable for India, the Mediterranean,
and Germany have been to a fair extent. The buyers for
Germany, however, have bought sparingly.

WOOLLEN CLOTll.—Luuns, KAY 9.—The whets
this morning were thinly attended, and only a small amount
of business transacted ; the main demand was for job lots
of thin fabrics in plain and fancy meltons, • taw of which
were disposed of at a low figure. Little else wan done, and
the White Market was very quiet.

HARDWARE.—Briumsonals, Ilia 9. There is a alight
lull in the state of trade in this town as compared with its
oondition a month ago ; but although the orders coming in
are small, there is no stoppage for want of them at any of
the manufactories. At the rolling mills there is rather
more doing, and in all other of the principal trades the men
are working full time. Whatever of dallier exists seem
to be coofined to some of the slight staple trades For fancy
goods the orders have also beea small of late, but there are
few instances in which the manufaetruers are making up
goods for stock, and we have a further indication
that trade is not bad in the fun of most of
the out•workees from the manufactories being well
employed. The Mate of particular bombes of the tracie
of the town ia much the same as it was a week ago.) For
cabinet and general boss-foundry the orders have been
better of late ; there has also been • good demand for
builders' ironmongery ; the platers are well off for orders ;
the hollow-ware trade Is also pretty good ; the button trade,
though anything but brisk, is much better than it has beers
in the spring for the last two years. The principal tube
makers and edge-tool makers are working full time. The
strike of the puddler' in this iron district continues. In
the course of the week the men employed at the weeks
where no strike has taken place have intimated that if the
tu.siti:re whose works are standing are supplied with
barefrom the works at which operations have
cuddled
cm, they will ooasider that aground for a strike
so far as they are cohoerned. If this threat is carried out
without the usual fortnight's notice being given the men
will of course render themselves saamalde to the law, sad
it is not likely that the employers who suffer will be slow to
hat it in force. The strike, partial as it is, is • nuisance,
ving now lasted five week', and there appears to be but
little prospect of its termination ; the course which they
have taken is so unreasonable that it is not improbable there
will be a general lock-out by the employers themselves.
