corros 000D8.—Xumunerran, JOLT 16.—There wail
• good deal of excitement in this market at the eominenor
mint of the week, and on Toady an advance of fully Id.
per lb. on home-trade yarns was established, while on geed
qualities of yarn for shipping, sellers demanded 2d. to M.
per lb. 'drones. and on the whole a rather conaideroble
bugloss' was effected. On Wednesday and Thursday the
feeling which had led to the activity and high rates of TOW
der subsided a good deal Yesterday the producers of
shipping yarns were again bolding firmly for the full ad-
vance, but manufacturers appeared stud with the pur-
chases they had mode, and their present wants bolsi satis-
fied they are not buy* much. albs osetlime very firm,
being • good deal under extract, but the Flees
?I= Ved check business. The Bolton clam of yarns con-
tinue in demand for Russia, at very full ptsoaa. There has
been Is animation in the cloth market all the weak than in
the yarn market. On Tuesday, however, • good many
orders were given out for shirting" and pietist cloths,
placing *me manufacturers under rostra* This bed the
effect of strengthening prime a good deal, and the higher
rates required have the effect of shocking business. Tba
prim of cloth still fall abort of a rate which would pay for
goods made from cotton bought at pregame rates, sad for some
*loam the beet prices offering would fall short by nearly
2d. per lb. of the cost of they** to make them. Domestics,
T cloths and long-cloths are comparatively dull, but are
being held with rather more firmness than they were last
week.

WOOLLEN.—Laxiii, JUNE 16.—The coloured umbel
this mormag has shown little animation, the attendee°, of
merchants has beau small, and nothing of any moment has
taken place. Tweeds bare in some instances been in fair
request, mellows sod coatings have ant beau much inquired
for, sod the sale of plain goods has also beau below the
average. In the white ball there has been • slight im-
provement in the transfer of hairlieta. and heavy goods in
the way of witneys, beavers, sad similar makes, have been
the chief things inquired for, although these have only to a
moderate extent changed heeds. Bates keep firm.

HARDWARE.—Brininunam, Jotr 16.—The trade of
this town has improved of late, aad is in all respect. in •
healthy 'tat.. The factors are giving out very good orders ;
there is scarcely an exoeption to this in wbateeer part of
the country thev do business. In all the principal branches
carried on here • very good business is being dose some
biennials manufacturer, ban a month or six weeks' orders
beforehand, and all of them have amply infficient to keep
them corking full time. The foreign trade is also active ;
the prospect of ppeaearcee between Denmark and the German
powers has slresdyhad • good effect In the course of the
week merchants' orders have hese given out whin&
have been for some time in hind, but withheld until
the prospect of • oneatioe of hostilities presented itself.
With respect to Australia and the Eastern markets there are
some good orders in hand, and in the West Indian trade an
average amount of business la being done. In reference to
the state of particular branches, sot much charms has
occurred of late. In the metal trades • considerable draw-
back I experienced by ninon of the unsettled state of the
market for copper. The price of yellow metal and nails has
been advanesd one halfpenny per lb. In braes and wo
wire only a moderate amount of business is bong doni:
the iron-wire mills are in full operation, and there are loge
orders in head. The edge-tool makers continue to be well
engaged, and the tin-plate workers and hollow ware manu-
facturers have sufficient orders in to keep them going full
time. The jewellers report some degree of 'Wham in that
department. The various manufacturing trades of the dis-
trict are in a satiefeenory skits ; so far as they are concerned
the reports this quarter-day were all of them more or lees
favourable. For every article connected with rolling stock
and railway fittings the demand appears to be increasing,
all who are engaged in that hawk being full of work. The
ironmesters' meetings for this quarter terminated at Dudley
this erasing ; not much barium was dome, but it wee un-
derstood that the reduction of 11. per ton announced at
the meeting on Thursday will be generally accepted by the
trifle.
