COTTON GOOD& —Matscaxerlet, Nov. 26.—After •
week of almost unprecedented excitement business closes
with very little animation. It was stated in our report of
byesterday week that if the steamer thee due from America
rought sews of President Lincoln. re-election busbiess
men here had an iropressiou that prices would go up to
nearly the highest figures known before the late panic. The
result justified that impression. Liverpool has seldom been
visited by so many buyers as on Monday last. The market
was almost wild with excitement. Fortneately, many of
the spinner' who went down refrained from operating, or
prime most have been run up beyond what had even been
foretold. As it was, the advance was lid. to 2d. per lb.,
and in some cases more. On Tuesday the market
here, for yarn and cloth, was quite as excited, and
were advanced in about the same proportion.
pricesiii
e, indeed, were in some instances advanced :3d., and
even more, per lb. Shirtiest. were advanced about 3a per
piece, and other fabrics in Dearly the same proportion.
Where extreme prices were held for, however, buyers
would not operate, and though • good deal of business was
done, it was more through a spirit of speoulatioa than
from any book fide transactions. The result has been •
gradual looking down of excitement ever since, and the
people who bad been the foremost purchaeers up to that
day have been somewhat active in offering goods for re ale.
Yesterday and today very little business has been dose.
The goods offered for resale have stood in the way of
spinners and manufacturers making much progress, and
' yarn and cloth, like cotton, are rather easier to buy at the
close than they were in the beginning of the week. Quotations
are not much altered, but buyers find that they have •
slight advantage. There is, comparatively, quite • lull is
the market.

WOOLLEN.—LEEDS, \oc. 26.—There ban been • vary
thin attendance at both markets this morning, and the
I amount of business tray aseted has been very limited. A few
plain cloths, with • sprinkling of tweeds, have changed
hands in the Coloured Hall ; the transfer of hair-liste in the
White market has also been stualL Hates continue without
any perceptible improvement.

HARDWARE—BMW: SA*, Nov. 26. —The trade of
this town is a shade quieter than it was a week ago; it is
not that manufacturers are leas actively engaged, but
the factors' orders are beginsiag to fall off, except as
to fancy goods, in which more business m being done,
and in all probability this will condone for the next two
or three weeks. In the metal trades there is a fair
amount of &carnation, better, on the whole, than ie gene-
rally experienced at this time of the year. The edge-tool
makers have a considerable number of orders beforehand, a
good proportion of them being on account of the foreign
trade; the electro-platere are also well off in that respect,
and the tie•plate workers are fully employed. For builders
ironmongery the demand is moderate, and the brassfounden
report a want cd animation in that branch ; but ootwith-
Mauling these exceptions the general condition of our trade
is undoubtedly so far satisfactory that returns ere consider-
! ably above the average. The manufacturiag trades carried
on in the adjoining district of South Staffordshire
sod East Worcestershire are for the mart part active,
with the exception of Dukakis, where the gun-lock filers
are short of work. It would he scarcely possible to name
another branch in which there are not sufficient orders is
hand to keep all who are engaged in them hilly employed.
The Wolverhampton trade is active ; in the neighbourhood
of Wedneebary, Dudley, and in the district towards Stone-
bridge, all the large works are in full operatiou, but at the
latter place business is quiet. At Walsall the saddlers' iron.
monger are doing &steady trade, but have not many orders
beforehand ; the malleable iron-fonedere are busy, and in
=work a good business is being dome. For chains,
and other articles of that class, there is also a steady
demand. The iron trade of this district is in anything but
a satisfactory state.
