COTTON GOODS.—MaNcaxsrmt, Jut. 9.—We have
rarely had so inactive • market as during the past week.
The sudden in prices on the last day of 1563, when
the Li cotton market, on the taking of stock, cud-
dimly rose 2d. per lb., caused • corresponding reaction here,
but it turns out that the purchases of cloth made on that
day were wholly speculative, and during the succeeding
holidays time was given for reflection by bolsi Me buyers,
which seems to have resulted unfavourably to bursar.
Buyers both foe home consumption mid export appear this
week to he of opinion that present rates are unsafe, and
they have shown this opinion by abstaining from business
to as extent that has rarely been witnessed before. Spin.
nem and manufacturers, knowing that production was
lasseoed by the stoppage of many mills at Christmas,
showed a disposition early in the week to meet this
resistaoceltoanadvanoe of prior with firmness, and hence an
almost utter suspension of bushier. Towards the clone of
the week, however, they have been disposed to yield a little,
and yesterday home trade yarns were id. to ld. per lb.
cheaper. Manufacturers, also, to hays effected sales, would
have been compelled to make • similar concession. The
easier toe, thus brought about led to some few sales, but
buyers are still indisposed to operate to an extent worthy of
mention, and hence the week closes with a flat market, the
aggregate business of the six days having been exceediegly
snialL At least ose.half of the advance of the 31st Decem-
ber has already been lost, and though some spinners and
manufacturers show much firmer, it is far from gerund,
and there is great irregularity is prices. Buyers Nay that
is some cases they found a difference of 2d. per lb. between
the quotations of some spinners as compared with others for
the same qualities of yarn, but such cams were no doubt
exceptional, and it is safer to take the decline as stated
above at id. to ld. per lb.

WOOLLEN.—Lmatm, JAN. 9.—A quiet market in both
the coloured 'Lad white cloth halls and so feature of any
importance to remark upon. Was momakterable, and prime
puerally fine.

HARDWARE—Biamincuar. Jaw. 9.—Busions wee ,I
resumed last Monday at all the principal manufactories in
this town, and there are sufficient order's in to keep the men
fully employed tot the present in all the most important
branches. By the time these are executed the factors' trs-
yellers will have resumed their journeys, and fresh orders
will come in on account of the home trade. In the foreign
department there is not much doing at present, and it is not
unlikely that the unsettled aspect of political affairs on the
continent will ham the effect of checking for a time the 1
orders usually given out on account of the spring trade. Is
th,Zisi other respects the prospects of it are tto be favour- I
able, the tone of recent advice; • to the in. i
foresee that there will be a better demand er hardwares
for Canada ; also for Australis, and the East Indies. At
this moment there is a steady demand Ice material, pertly,
no doubt. in • anticipatios, of farther advances in the price,
especially of copper ; but them is also niftiest doing in the
metal trades to cause the 000eomptioa to be largo. In soars
of the fancy trades slackness is felt, and the bottos and
pen makers report business quiet in both those breaches la
the gum trade the depression is racy peat, the bulk of the
artisans who are dependent upon it are earring a few Mil-
ken, a week only, whereas two or three yeah also, they
were making wages which may be truly said to have bees

the scarcity of labour is felt. The Quarterly ftedage of

of iron has bees already mold as the advance of SU per
too, it is most likely that it will be what is considered a
