MARKETS.

COTTON GOODS.—llsocnitorno, Jrnn IL—Up to
yesterday we had an exceedingly dull market in both yarn
and cloth, with drooping prices. A rather firmer cotton
market, No far as the better descriptions are concerned—in-
cluding American staples. whit* are mid to be in a few
hands only—bad the effect yeeterday of musing the tome of
our yarn market to improve, and home trade yaros are prao-
Skelly gd. per lb. better than on Tuesday, though they have
not recovered what had been lost in prior up to that day.
Long-stapled yaros for shipping were also stronger, and
there was more business dna, both for home consumption
and export. Of course the great extent to which moo.
torturers have resumed working during the last few mouths
is causing a demand for yarn from them, which hag had the
effect of miming the valued warps and weft, as well as of tha
raw material, sad there ia a fear that thie will react unfa-
vourably upon both thinners and manufacturers ; for
buyers of cloth, foreseeing a possible over-production, have
been bolding aloof most pertinaciously, in expectation of lower
pries". So far manufacturers are reported not to have
accumulated large stocks, and with some exceptions have
held with tolerable firmness to prices which would cover
the enhanced cost of yarn or cotton, bat the result aotici-
pied is Weaving to make itself felt, and already them le
•my of overproduction, the only cure for which is the
Mopped or partial stoppage of mills. There were
people who had begun to think the law, of
political ecoomy did not apply to cotton goods,
and that it as an error to suppose that price had anything
to do with coosumptioo, but now that the supply of cotton
has increased so that the imports during the last five mouths
at Liverpool have reached 982.76 S bales againat 689,718 to
the same time last year, while manufacturers are working
up this supply more closely, it is booing to be felt that
either the production of goods must be curtailed or prices
will give way in accordance with the natural law of supply
and demand. For India there is scarcely anything doing in
either yarn or sloth, and the present chief support of the
market is the home market, buyers for which are very
cautious about supplying more than immediate wants.
WOOLLEN CLOTH.—Lama, J mri 11.—The Coloured
Hall this morning has been fairly attended both by met.
chants and manufacturers, but there has not been so average
amount of business transected. Coatings and =shoos in
plain and fancy makes have been the chief things inquired
for. A few plain cloths have changed bands, although Dot
to • large extent. The White Hall has also bees moderately
' well attended. There has bees • fair demand for hairlistu
' Witnsys, riots, and other heavier classes of goods have also
been briskly inquired for. Rates without alteration.

HARDWARE. —Enigmafun. Jane IL—The trade of
this town is reported to be in somewhat of a languid state;
daring the lest week or ten days the orders received
through the factors have been roodwnse, the antennae,
is that matufactarers whose ceders ma the books were
closely worked up, have been barely able to keep their
establishments on at full time without making addition to
stock ; in all probability this eoeditioo will continue for •
few weak,, bat epee the whole the half-year's trade has
been a good ciao, returns being goesiderahly blood the
average. In the foreign deperMeme besieges Is steady, sad
some slight revival has bees experieeeed se far am the Borth
of Europe is concerned ; there are orders is on amount of
Swedes and Norway, and the lipoid& and Italian trade is
pretty good. Is mimeo* to put/War branches it may be

noticed that there is a want of animation in the metal
trades, the demand for material being moderate. The
elestro-platers, hollow-ware manufacturer,, edge-tool
makers, and tin-plate waiters are most of them well 'Up
plied with orders ; it is in the branches of minor importance
to which the dullness is principally experienced ; rs fancy
goods not much bushier m being done. Is the adjoining
dittrict there is a fair amount doing in all the pruicipal
manufacturing trades; for castings there is a go,,d
demand, am there is also for everything connected with
railway fittings ; and upon the whole labour in the South
Staffordshire and Worcestershire district is well employed.
The iron trade in this locality continues remarkably dull,
but is not increasingly so, and in all probability no change
will take place until after the preliminary meeting. lo pig
iron there is a very slack demand, and in several instances
the mills and forges ere working short time only ; the plate
mills are, hcwever, tolerably well engaged. At a meeting
of coal-masters held at Dudley, on Friday. • resolution was
passed to reduce the wages of the thick coal colliers Cd. per
day, and the thin coal men, 3d.

very small. A moderate supply of wheat, with • very
thin attendance of buyers or sellers.
BoarEsren, Jczrg 11. —There was a fair show of wheat
at this corn eaehaage, but business was very much de-
pressed, and although holders demanded slightly increased
terms for bat aorta, buyers were reluctant to operate except
at a slight decline. For the best runs of white the quota-
tions were 42u to 445. ; and red. 40.. to 425. per quarter ;
secondary and inferior white, 39e. to 425. ; and red., 371. to
40s. per quarter. Flour was in rather limited request, and
the tarn in favour of buyers. There was little doing in
barley, and the sales were confined chiefly to malting kinds,
for which the demand was slow. Oats were slightly cheaper.
JO= IL—Our market to-day was moderately
attended, mad a fair show of all grain. Wheat was held
firmly at the rates of Lut week, but the badness done was

24 stone.
