COTTON GOODS.—blincizarin, Fan. 27. —The market
for yarn arid cloth was exceedingly dull in the early port of
the week, and prices were rather in favour of buyers. Braes
the redoctiou of the beak rate, however, there has ben a
rather more cheerful feeling, sod yesterday bed this morn-
ing we bear of earns purchases, chiedy foe India, at fair
pnoes. All the more recent advises from Calcutta and
Bombay hare spokes of improving markets there, and some
of the bowies here shipping to India have been quietly
placing orders which have been held over for some time
past. We hear of a few rather large sales ; but, generally
speaking, buyers ere still disposed to act with caution, and
limit their purchases within narrow limits. The purchase
which have been made have straegthened the hands of
holders of cloth. and they ere stall sanguine of higher
prim, owing to the peat limitatios which has takes Ow
an production since Christmas. Is yarn' very little bowlines
has been practicable for export, and foe what lass been dose
sellers have had to accept rather easier rates. Home-trade
yarns ere rather dearer than shipping, but buyers are taking
only for immediate use.

WOOLLEN CLOTH.—Lgum, Fmt. 27.—There bee bees
about en average market this morning. The cold weather
still appears to check the of baron for the spring
account ; nevertheless • few fair parcels of light fibriai
were transferred this morning, consisting mainly of mixed
meltons in the favourite •ourings, with • few tweeds.
Plain goods were not greatly in request, but • sprinkling
of white mediums and baulk& changed bands. Bates
were well sustained.

HARDWARE.—BtsttesoI/Y. Frs. 27.—The trade of
this town continues steady, ands upon the whole in a ma-
tiaketory state. In the course of the week a very fair sup.
ply of orden has come in, and manufacturers have sufficient
oti their books to enable them to go on working full time.
In the state of the principal branches there has not been
much change of late. The gas-fitters report that orders ban
somewhat fallen off ; but is the metal trades then is a good
amount of business being done, and the platen, wire.
drawers, and metallic bedstead makers are working fall
time. The button trade is quiet, not mush beim does in
goods suitable to the spring trade is that branch. Is the
adjoining district trade is tolerably brisk ; there is a coati-
datable business being dose is castings. The hollow-ware
manufacturers are busy. For railway fitting then are
some good orders, and the saddlers' ironmoogers of Walsall
are well mined. Throughout the district labour is fully
employed. The iron trade is Nit se compared wit► ite one-
dawn a few weeks since ; the works are most of them is
full operation, but there an few fresh orders coming in, deal-
ers and consumers holding back in consequence of the high
scale of prices, but there is DWI muck probability of these
going lower ; the high price of material, coupled with the
advance which has taken place in the workmen's wages,
bring a bar to any reduction. A failure of some importance
wee amounted lien this more* ; it is on the put of Mr.
' Alfred Barker, who has been extensively engaged is the
metal trade. A circular bee bees issued, in it the failure is
attributed •• to the greet fall which has takes place is the
I value of Scotch pig won." A meeting of the creditors hie
been celled. This failure has created a great constermike
in this tows, the amount of the lhbilitir being larger this
anything which has occurred here for many years.
