COTTON GOODS.-2dAscsisrme, Dec. 10.—We had
rather a better market on Tuesday se to prices, bat it
closed scarcely so strong as it opened, and only a moderate
business was done in yarns. On Wednesday and Thunday
there was almost a total absence of demand, and prices wore
weaker. Yesterday and this morning there has been a
better feeling, from on impression that the money market ia
more favourable. The prices are reported rather stronger,
and rather more business has bee. door both for the home
trade and foreign mail/rots, but still Waimea has not been
active. For cloths buyers have not shown much disposition
to operate. The few offers made have bean at prices rather
below quotable rates. Manufacturers bold very firmly for
the prices of Tuesday, and have refused offers involving
any concession, but the actual amount of business has been
smalL

WOOLLEN CLOTIL —Lens, Dec. 10.—Then bu beau
a decided improvement in both the coloured and white
market* this morning. Several large parcels of spring mel-
tons in plain end fancy makes sod tweed* have changed
hands; white mediums and hairlista have also been in better
demand than Ira bare been able to repott for some weeks
past. There has also been a slight improvement in prices.

HARDWARE —llntirmigaii, DEC. 10.—The trade
of this town continues steady ; there is no animation, but
manufacturers are all well enraged, and will so remain
up to Christmas, for although the orders coming in through
the factors are at this moment comparatively small, they
are better than usual at this time of the year, and there is •
fair quantity of orders on the books. The outworkers also
are well employed. The various rolling mills are at work
full time, whilst the steady demand for material is the beet
proof that trade generally is active. In the foreign depart-
ment business is quieter ; and in all probability there will
be few more ordain given oat by the factors at this late
period of the year. On account of America scarcely any-
thing is being doze. The Mediterranean trade is steady.
There is also • good amount being done to Australia and the
West lodise. The state of trade in the adjoining district
is satisfactory. The malleable ironfounders continue busy ;
the casting trade is pretty good ; and at Walsall the
saddlem' ironmongers are working full time. With the ex-
ceptioo of the men who are engaged in the iron trade,
there is full employment for labour in every department.
