In all descriptions of yarn, or nearly so, from the lowest

cases so inadequate as to discourage producers. A firm in
this district, largely engaged Sa spinning and manufacturins,
have issued the following address to their operatives :

therefore, been compelled to review our position. With

00770N.—lavnroof., JAL 26.—There ia no change to
wake ia war market today. The 'aka are 5,000 balea,
including 3,900 Anaerioas, 9d. to 14d. ; 700 Sant, 60.

WOOLLEN CLOTH.—Le m, JAN. 25.—The. transac-
tions today ia both balls have been of • limited character
there is little dispesitkon to pnzeititee beyond the supply of
immediate wants. The principal demand was for light
maltose and fancies, • few prods of which clanged hands.
The white market was very Teta. There have been one or
two good Mayen in the town this morning from London, but
they hays operated very oantionidy, in fact they seem to be
buying merely from " hand to mouth." We quationg there
wan ever leis animation in London at this season of the year.
There is rather more doing in the country, but on the whole
the prospects of the trade are far from brilliant. There is •
fair trade in low unions doing with France, which appears
likely to continue and esteaL

TALLOW.—SATURDAY Even-No.—The market was firm
to-day et the subjoined quotations :—ldnrch, 475. 3d.; April
to June, 475. 6d.; June, 48s. Delivery to last evening, 1,323
arks ; snivels, 26 casks.

HARDWARE.—BranNoRAN, JAN. 25.—The trade of
this town still continues very much depressed. The nenstry
ceders sent in since the commeocienent of the year have
been of the smallest description ; in the course of the week
• few have been gives out on account of the Canadian
spring shipment ; with that exeeption, manufacturers are
DO better off then they were a month ago, and the con-
dition of trade is worse than it has bees for many years.
In nearly all the best of the staple trade, manufacturers
have not on an average one-half the orders which they
usually have at this season. Many of the artisans are upon
abort time, working not more than three or four days,
although the manufacturers have exerted themselves to
keep their men on as much as possible, many of them
having been engaged in making up goods for stock,
though the prospect of getting rid of these is
not very encouragiug. Unless trade revives speedily,
the pressure upon labour will, it is feared, be very
severe. In the foreign trade there is not much stirring, the
priori* orders in of late being for goods for the South
American markets. In the adjoining district business is
likewise extremely dull, except u regards hollow wane and
railway fittings, as to the former there have been some go.
vernment orders in for articles connected with the furnish-
ing of ships. The iron trade in this locality is without the
slightest animation. Common ban are reported as sold at
a lower price than ever they were. That Much of the
trade in South Staffordshire has sustained a lass this week
in the death of Mr. Joseph Hall (of the firm of Barrows and
Hall), manufacturers of the celebrated 8.8. H. iron. Mr.
Hall by the improvements he invented in the process of
manufacturing iron rendered very high service to the trade,
and has died respected by all who knew him.
