MARKET&

001rON GOODS.—Matecinsrem, APRIL 4. —The holi-
days have taken& good many business men out of town, and
there is not much doing to-day. The aggregate amount of
briars has been rather considerable during the week, but
it has been mainly confined to India fabrics, the demand for
which received a fresh impetus in coosequence of favourable
advises from Bombay and Calcutta in the early part of the
weak. At Calcutta there had been an advance of 6d. to 9d.
per piece on shirting', and this led to sellers here demanding
• corresponding advance. Buyers were willing to give as
much as M. to 6d. per pier higher, and within this limit
some large troniactions are npot-W. Where higher raWie
have been adhered to it has checked business. Yarns advanced
Id. per lb. for all kinds of India spincuip, and for yarns
each as are required for India cloths an advance which has
prevented manufacturers in some cases being able to take
orders for cloth within the limits of buyers. A good deal of
the cloth sold during the week has been out of speculative
lots held for some time past, and the. holdings have
been in some care cleared off, and generally very much re-
duced. Some of our spinners have bra plead under con-
tract by the business of the week as well as manufacturers,
bat • good many more orders would have probably been
given out for cloth had not the rise in cotton and
compelled makers to aak too eoesideable as rears T
is not much doing for other markets, but we hear of or or
two houses baying bought rather freely of printing cloths
for the Northern Stars of America, and prices of all kinds
of goods have a tendency to increase in firmness Since
venting the above we learn that a telegram from Calcutta,
later than any before to had, has been received, rating
that shin ings had advanced 40. to 6d. par pros beyond the
advance previously advised, and that mule twist had ad-
vanced 20. per lb. According to these deices 40's mule
twist at Wert' was equal to 2s. 7d. per lb. net home (or
deducting freights and charges), an admire which will be
appreciated when it is mentioned that some of the late
heavy contracts placed is this neighbourhood are running at
22d. to 23d. per lb. This has led to some extra business
herejast previous to the close of the market.

WOOLLEN CLOTH.—Lama, Ana 4.—There is Do
new feature to report of t►e state of the market this morn-
ing ; indeed, if possible, the atteedanee of both merchants
and manufacturers bee been smaller than =nal. In the
oolonred hall inquiries chiefly oontin•e to be for diagonals.
In the white ball • few hairlista of better quality have
changed hands, these being the only things at all in demand.

HARDWARL—Bauturoffair, APRIL 4.--Trade bare
has rather improved with the commencement of the new
quarter ; a very comiderable number off orders have already
been distributed on account of the home trade, and in the
foreign department there is inoreasing animation. This time
twelvemonths many of the manufacturers were very short
of orders, and in some instaoces they were making up goods
for stock ; such is quite an exceptional thing at this mo-
ment ; in all the moat important branches there are orders
sulbcient to keep all the astabbahromita in full work ;
at the rolling mills they are in that condition,
and the demand for all kinds of material is of a
character to indicate that business is active and healthy.
In the military gun department business is not nearly no
brisk as it has been, though the contractors are pretty well
employed ; the barrel makers are tolerably busy, there
being still a demand on American account. The odgirtecd
makers, wire-drawers, and hollow-ware manufacturers am
full of work ; for light steel toy goods there is a steady
demand ; the platers report favourably as to that branch ;
sod the factors and jewellers have of late been giving out
better orders The button trade remains quiet. In the ad-
joining district of South Staffordshire and But Worcester-
shire the foundries are in full operation ; reed at all the
large works the hands are on at full time.

TRZY MAYTAG' TRIBI THINGS REIT= IN FRANCE.

Correctioonel of Paris, a handsome young lady, smartly and
stylishly dressed, was called upon to appear as a witness.
Tlinalfirovidinit lodge asked for her name, and then put the
swequestion concerning her profession. " I faint," an.
red madame, in her weakest though most silvery tone.
The pliant votary of Themis told an ofScar of the court to
bring her a chair, and allowed her sufficient time for reco-
vering. Thee, "Be not afraid, madam," said he, " and
please to tell me, before you are sworn, what in your
profession." " I hist," wile bashfully whispered the
petty witness in a scarcely audible votes. This taw
