COTTONGOODA—makegzerga, ICU M.—The general anti-
cipation among producers of cotton goods last week that a good
demand would again spring up after the holidays has not been
realised, and during the whole of this week the market has been
characterised by flatness and depression. On Tuesday the market,
was quiet, and holders of yarn could only effect sales at a shell
reduction of price. In cloth there was a demand for China
qualities of *hidings, but there was not much business effected.
The business in cloth generally was quiet. Sellers of yarn said
prices were maintained for most counts made from good qualities
of cotton. but that they were easier for such as were made from
bunts. The same rule applied pretty generally to cloth. Yes-
terday, and again this morning, the ms i ket has been elided.
Ingly dull and inactive. dome trade yarns have been generally
rather easier to buy, and though there are orders In the market
for shipping yarn. sellers have been unable to effect much budh
nem at the rates they are willing to accept. Amongst the yarns
rather easier to buy may be mentioned coarse numbers generally,
and India to's. Of cloths. printers, domestics, T cloths, and long
cloths of several descriptions are purchaseable on m se favourable
terms. Most kinds of shirtlnp and other goods Dwindle are neg
lected, and shippers finding recent telegrams unfavourable will
probably be disposed to wait a while, after the heavy quantities
roundly shipped, before operating to aid great extent The
quantity of plain calicoes shipped to Calcutta during the month
ending lath In was 55 million yards, against a mon My average
since last December of 36 mllDou : and to Bombay of 21 million
yards against an average of 16 million. The more fully to ap.
predate this Increase It Is necessary to Mate that the total ahip-
ants of the six months were themselves a great increase on the
corresponding month. of last year, those to Calcutta being tab
million yards against 117 million, and those to Bombay being
106 million Yard* agalosi 71 million. A pause in further pur-
chases for India was to be expected under the circumstances, and
the disappointment this week has been that the trade fur other
parts of the world and for home consumption has given no sign
of improvement to encourage a hope that the large production
of goods now going ou will id Wow off the market.

WOOL AND WOISTED.—BitaPPORD, Jung W.—The In-
activity of many weeks past still prevails in the wool trade.
Consumers are very cautions in their operations, and buy only
from hand to mouth. Inquiry Is confined to the best clemes
of wool, inferior sorts being quite neglected. Prices have •
drooping tendency. Staplers refrain from replenishing their
stocks to any considerable extent. The heavy clip and the
general apathy of spinners threaten to depress quotations, and
hence the wariness on the part of dealers and consumers.
The same feeling Is imparted to the ether branches of the
trade. W worsted yarn, the demand continues very limited
for both home and export. Generally there is no disposition
to operate beyond what is absolutely nem . Spinners,
anxious to du business, readily meet customers wherever there
is any chance of doing bust/ilea Pricer are weak and irreitu-
ler. The piece trade is in the same languid condition. Ma-
?Mutt:Teri are doing a eery trifling brienera. The few orders
placed will yield only very unremnnerative returns. There is
much bile machinery and much warkirm to stock. The ban-
MN doing for China and the mist Is rather more promislog.
