OOTTON GOODS.
MANCHESTER, Faa. 1.
A review of the market during the past week shows that
OD the report of the @leech of the Emperor of the French
reaching us, on Monday, there was a general improvement
in the tone of it, and the general expression of opinions at
the meeting of the Chamber of Commerce adverse to any
interferena in the American quarrel has materially
strengtheoed the confidence which began to manifest itself
so early in the week. On Tuesday the adviees her Calcutta
were discouraging because they spoke of a decline in prices,
but nevertheless some heavy offers wen made at tut week's
prices. Manufacturers demanded an advance of lid. per
piece (and in some eases where they had given way to ex-
tremely low rates but week of 3d.) and this checked bad-
ness; but during the week there have been many males of
fair amount in cloths for Irma. During the last few days
the demand has been of • more general character, but with-
out increasing the average business. The market closes
quiet, but with a steadier feeling. In yarns confidence has
shown itself more strongly. On Tuesday the spinners asked
an draws of id. per lb., and • fair amount of business was
dorm where they were willing to accept • rise of id.. and in
HOME oases id. per lb. A large business offered at previous
rates. During the last few days prices have been • shade
than on Tuesday, and owing to the great extent to
triletth production has been limited, buyers, who find therm
farm with such restricted choice, some kinds of yarns =lag
comparathely scarce, have been obliged to concede the ini-
proweeltrons. The thief buyers have been the home trade
and &ippon to Germany, the latter being prepared now to
bay armeesively at Tuesday's rates. Amongst the receipts
of =Mon this week, reaching 14,788 bales, there have been
rearmed 814 bales America., of which 768 have come
from Ilene, and 46 from New York by the Asia. Amongst
the anemia places from which cotton has come to band are
hales from St. Marc and 111 from Callao. A letter'
from Hull states that several steam-ship owners bate had
offers of cotton to Liverpool at Havre, which had not been
scripted. He had received 445 bales American thence,
sad exporTerl 900 more. He bad aLo received 223 bales
fore Rotterdam, and there had lately be about 600 more,
partly American, pertly Fast !Who, received from the
same place. A letter dated Mobile, December 12, states
that the weather has been remarkably frmarthle ice pick-
keg there, but there were counteracting dramistaaces to
=event making • large crop. Should the present mop Lot
be moved before next planting season, half the land hitherto
devoted to cotton growing would be used for producing
gem and other articles. The quantity of cotton taken by
r the trade last month has been 109,570 take, against
270,900 same month last year.

WOOLLEN CLOTH.—Lrzoe, Fre. I.—We are gbd to
reseed a decided improvement this morning, as far as the
snowed market visa coaceroed. There wen INITSIIIII vary
coosiderable parcels of goods changed hands, chiefly light
spring meltons in low qualities. There was also unredeemed
for tweeds. On the whole a mach better and more hope-
ful tool prevailed. The trameatioos in the Whitetail were
only limited. The Batleydistrin is very quiet, and its pros-
porta are not cheering. At Omen; too, there is now not
, much doing.

HARDWARE.—Bnuaasetax; Few I.—There ham been
• slight movement otimswable I. the Inds al this town
during the week; this has been chiefly on account of the
country trade ; a few orders have been given out throngh
the factors. At present, however, the improvement has
mot been nearly sufficient to enable the manufacturers to
put their men on at fall time in those branches in which
the depression has been most seriously felt. In reference
to all the fancy trades complaints are still general ; in
common plated goods there is scarcely anything doing ; and
at some of the rolling mills they are working full time, a I
sure sign that business generally is more active. The brass
wire trade is pretty good ; on the other hand the button
trade is tail, except in one branch, in which there is a little
doing with France. The tube makers are bury, and
hollow ware them is a steady trade doing. Such is the con-
dition of some of the principal branches carried oe here ;
notwithstanding the alight improvement to which allusion
has been made, them are • greater number of the artisans on
abort time at this moment than there have been at a cone•
r etrinelleg period for several years. The wire trade in this
continues much depressed ; it is only very few Arms
who have sufficient orders for finished iron to keep their
smiths and forges in full operation. Home consumers are
buying sparingly ; and as the demand is slack for all but
the bud brands, prices are in favour of the buyer.

NIFWCAISTLI-crux-TTIFI, Fn. L—At our market this
morning we had a moderate show of whist from the growers
condition Indifferent, and a clearance could only be effected
by submitting to a reduction of le. per qr. From the stands
scarcely anything was dons, and the little that changed
bands was at a fall of lea. to 2a. per qr. upon the rates
of this day se'nnight ; but this decline wasochl
accepted where vessels required clearing ; gra.r
lota, whether Wish or foreign, being held for
former figures. Flour sold slowly, and we reduce
