fee laalalM—they an said to be rather Indifferently off for orders,
but that Is by no swan an menial occurrasee at this name. A
pectic. of the button trade is also dull ; there are reports of a similar
character in refereros to two no three departments of the light steel

rectorial they ant working fall time, and there is Very little labour
=employed. The foreign order. have 'tightly declined, tut there

until the money market ariumes a more settled appearance. In the
American trade there la so improvement =late, er ; for several week.

111 dull, hut the chain trade is brisk; and at the
foundries In the neightnuthood of Orierey.hill and Dudley
there Is more doing; the mailman' throughout the Aiettict are
alto fall of order., both borne are foreign. The iron trade is quiet;
there is no very pieitiveevideticeof improvement, but certainly there

number of orders about, although they ore moat of them small, a elf,

bought is fee immediate we, stocks in the hands of consumers bring

Um in tee make of pt, tree ; the caret queues is that wt,. are very
rnsek premed. especially of inferior qualitim, for which prices are
very low.
