COTTON GOODS.—MANCRIXTICR, Jure 14.—Since the
considerable bursae reported ia our market on Tuesday,
and which cleared off a large quantity of cloths for India
at l id. to 3d. advance, and of virus at. higred withher, fur
nearly all markets, our market been in idterfe
by the holidays, end there has bees little or nothing doing.
The Excheop and our warehouses have been open a few
hours every morning from Wednesday, but we do not re-
member such an exodus of business men from town at any
previous holidays. Buyers and sellers appear to have taken
leave of the town by common consent, and there has not
been approach 'crush to business to ter prior since
Tuesday, though sellers (when found) are still asking very
full rates.

WOOLLEN CLOTH.—Lame, JUNT 14.—Several large
London buyers have been in the town this week, and have
bought freely. If this had not been the rue we should
have had to repot t a remarkably dull week's trade, u very
few others have visited the mike.. No doubt the Whit-
suntide holidays have had their usual effect m suspending
the operations of many. The market this morning pre- I
minted no new feature i the attendance of buyers was
limited, sod the transactions were coofined almost entirely
to sortiugs up, with a few /ample sada of balmy goods suita-
ble for autumn. On the whole there was Dot much done in
either hall. This state of things is, however, Dot unusual at
this period of the year.

HARDWARE.—BIBUINORAX, Just 14.—The trade of
this town is bad. A very coueiderable proportion of the
manufacturers have their order-books closely worked up,
and ethers have see more than half the orders which they
usually have on hand at this period of the year. The arti-
Line have been holiday making a portion of the Whiteuo
week, sad the manufacturers have not been Burry at that
occurrence, so badly off ►re they for orders to enable them
to keep their works going. The deplorable state of things
in Lancashire has re-acted on this locality, the factors who
engaged in that branch of the home trade having done
scarcely anything this spring. The jewellers and others
who are engaged in the fancy trick* have suffered
moat, hat those who are in the best of the staple
trades have out fared much better, the demand
for the class of goods usually sold in the spring not having
been half of what it usually is. 11k the foreign trade there
is not much starring ; there were a few American orders Irf
the last man • the Spanish, West Indian, and Cape toads is
also steady. The iron trade in this district is more active
in consequence of the American orders dropping is ; and
letters recently received sbow that in the event of a cam-
tion of the war, and the independence of the South being
racogaisad, an immense trade with that division of the
States would follow. To this may be ascribed the feeling in
favour of the Southerners which to some extent exists in
this locality.
