MARKET&

HARDWARE —BrokEiGLIAM, Nov. s.—The trade of
this town is in a healthy state. In the course of the week
orders have come in steadily on account of the country
trade. Businesa with the north of England is very good ;ii
is in the agricultural districts alone, and prioci•
tally in the Eastern Counties, that anything approaching to
languor is experaeoced. In the most important of our staple
trades thereseems to be • good amount of bunions., doing,
and there is • steady demand for material. The electro-
platen are moat of them well supplied with orders, as are
&Botha edge-tool makers, the hollow-ware manufacturers,
and tin-plate workers, the latter of whom are doing a good
foreign trade. The metal roller, are working full time, and
the iron wire trade is pretty good. In the gun trade there is
more businesadons. The iron trade costumes fiat. Sinceq war-
teyday comparatively few orders have come in, those in basil
being moderate, except for sheets. Home consumers buy
spanngly, and will continue to do so whilst the price of
money remains high, because so long as that is the case there
is always a prospect of buyiog on more favourable terms ;
it is that feeling which operates at this moment and tends
to keep down animation. Unless some improvement takes
place before long there will not be sufficient order. to keep
the mills and forges in full opmation. In the market for
Staffordshire pig-iron not the slightest improvement has
taken place ; sales are effected with difficulty at prices in
favour of the buyer. The colliers' strike is fast dying out
on the Wolverhampton, Bilstou, and Dudley side, but in
the West Bromwich sod Oldbury district • move is being
made (or the men to give fourteen days notice for an ad-
vance of Mt. • day, a proceeding for the success of which
there is not the slightest probability ; in fact, it is extren.ely
doubtful if the present reduced scale of wages can be DAM-
tained, assuiniog that the large quantity of foreign coal
coming into the district is to be continued.

WOOLLEN.—Lr.zue, Nov. s.—There has been more
basilicas transacted this morning in the coloured hall than
for some wteki past. Several parcels of dark meltons and
tweeds bare changed bands, and also a sprinkling of plain
cloths. The white hall has not shown any Improvemeat,
heavy goods being now in little request, and the transfer of
hairlisu has been little more than nominal. Elates are in
favour of the purchuer.

COTTON GOOD& —lLiariirsralt, Nov. 5. —The yarn
sod cloth market continued to advance up to Tuesday, when
the prices of yarn had gained about 21d. per lb. as compared
with the lowest prices at which sales wen made eight or
ten days previously. The high prime demanded by spinners
and manufacturers (cloth being Is. to Is. rid. per piece
dearer) led to a pause. The reaction is said to have been
due to some heavy speculative purchases of cotton by Lou-
don capitalists at Liverpool ; but whatever tee cause may
have beau it was understood here to have been a natural
reaction from the low rates to which prices had sunk, and
buyers went in heavily for both yarn sod cloth. The ante-
queue., was the {Analog of some berry contracts to make,
which will keep numerous spionersand manufacturers well en-
gaged for two to three months forward. Sion Tuesday there
has beep much less business doing, and prima have readied
cousidersbly. It is said that about one-half the previous
advance ha. been Int since Tuesday, amounting on shirting'
to at least Id. par lb. Blackburn yarns, such as an chiefly
end in making shirting', have given way Id. per lb., and ia
some cases nearly lid. per lb. The market closes very Sat.
For two or three days past very few transaction of any
moment bans taken place, and buyers generally have lost
much of the elootidence which impelled them to purchase
rather heavily ►ast week. The rumour of impending failune
is said to have much to do with the gloom which is again
overspreadiug the market, and much caution is e►dent
again on all ludo..
