MARKETS.

HARDWARE.—BIimtNonam, Nov. 23.—The trade of thin

town continues extremely dull, and all hope of any improvement
this year is abandoned. At the commencement of this weak a
few orders were given out on account of the home trade; these
have helped to keeptbe manufacturers going, but In almost every
branch they are very closely worked up. In the forelam depart-
went comparatively little is being done ; the merchants, If they
have orders In hand, distribute them sparingly. In various de-
'captions of fancy goods rather more is being done, but so far
as regards the metal trades generally. the electro-platers end
tie-plate workers, the amount of boAndxs doing la considerably
below the average. The gun trade Is tolerably active ; In ammo-
talon also agood deal Is being dune on account of government.

COTTON 000118.-31ASCHTSTEn, Nov. 221.—The absence of
coundence in the market for cotton yarn and cloth has been 'vi-
delicet throuehcut the past week by the quietness of business
and the gradual though slow decline lu values. The demand for
shipping yarns has been on a small wile. The low and coarser
counts under Ws are ad. to Id. per lb. An equal decline may be
noted in les to We water twist, with but few and moderate
transactions both for the continent of Europe and for China,
which are amongst the leading foreign markets. There have
been offers at lower rates, but they hare been limited. For Brs
mule yam for India the market has also been inactive, and price.,
are lower. The same report applies to the finer numbers for
India. The yarns principally produced at Bolton maintain their
value better. In home trade yarns the market has been quiet,
at fully a decline of fti. per lb. Cloths, such ma India shirting',
are lid. to Sd. per piece down since last week but there Is irre.
galarfty, owing to many roanufactorers holding unfinished con.
tracts. Buyers are reticent In making offers for these
owing to unfavourable news from Calcutta. Printing clothe are
also easier to purchase. Jscconets and mulls are not in active
demand, bast/edict In price than wane other !aeries. Meek:ens
are well engaged with seders for China, and steady, but T cloths
are wader. Domestics and keg cloths are nat.

WOOL AND WORSITIt —Ditalownso, Nov. 12.—Ertreme
who act
dolmas Ms again prevailed during the past week. A few trans-
wn
actions in some particular sorts of wool have been made, but
they In
"mee° determinedct to keep aloimers. were
wl tquitg,
and
buy only to supply absolute and pressing want& bloat staplers,
knowing that wool cannot be obtained in the country as low as
in this market, are firm in their quotations. home who are
eager to sell will make a concession to secure a customer. Nulls
and broken, though at low prices, are in very limited demand.
Is worsted yarns there is nu indication of any improvement.
Both the home and the foreign demand is ,educed to the lowest
point. A trifling business has been done in gensppe and two.
' told yarns, and some spinmos of those sorts minium) well
employed. lint most spinners are only very partially employed,
and the tendency still Is to lessen production by stopping frames
and mining abort time. Lower prices are generally accepted.
Tile piece trade continues very depressed. The little business
done has been chiefly from stock at low prices by some foreign
buyers, principally French ; few orders having been placed.
TrsUiftaCtlOna with Germany and the United titates are still
small. Mantifactnrere generally are eager for business, and the
tendency of prices is somewhat downs mu.

WOOLLEN.—Lnre, Nov. ft.—We are not able to re
any improvement in the business transactions in the cloth
halls this morning. The attendance of buyers both In
the coloured and white markets has been small, and those who
have been present have been inquirers mostly after spring sam.
pies. The parcels which have changed hands have, consequently,
been limited in amount. The demand for winter goods being
now entirely upon the sorting-up principle, few transactions
worthy of special nottee have taken place. In the coloured ball
a sprinkling of mixture coatings have been transferred, along
' with a few isolated plecea of plain clothe. The inquiry for
tweeds has greatly decreased, and the amount rd business done
In this make is becoming more upon an equality NMI other
classes. Hair-lista in the white market have not beet, iu mud'
request, and have only changed hands in small quantities. Prieca
are without any noticeable alteration.

A CHAPTER OP RAILWAY ACCIDENTS. —A sin-
gular series of accidents, culminating in loss of life, hap-
pened between Friday night and yesterday morning on the
Great Western Railway between Birmingham and Chester.
Late on Friday night a passenger train ran into a goods
train, near Rushon, under circumstances which have not
yet transpired. One of the results of the collision was
that the main line was blocked, and among the trains
detained was a goods train front Manchester, which was
due out of Shrewsbury at 11.45 p.m. It did not, however,
leave the latter station till about three o'clock on Satur-
day morning, and then proceeded on its journey at in-
creased speed., having three hours' lost time to make up.
After pasting Upton Magna, three and a half miles
frem Shrewsbury, an axle of one of the leading
waggons snapped in two pieces, and the waggon broke
down. The rest coming on at full speed, and being
suddenly stopped by the impediment thus created,
were heaped one upon the top of the other in
• state of inextricable confusion, several being
thrown acmes the down line. On the state of affairs bl-
ooming known in Shrewsbury a strong break-down gang
was despatched to the scene of the accident, anti by 11.1
o'clock as Saturday morning one line was sufficiently
cleared to permit of the passage of the early train from
Birmingham, which had been delayed for two hours. The
men ware kept working all day and night, and up to yes-
terday morning satisfactory progress had been made, who
• third and fatal accident happened. A waggon was being
raised by means of the powerful moveable crane made for
the purpose, when by some inadvertence the break was
removed, and the winding-up handle commenced to re-
volve with great rapidity, carrying with it one of the wen,
who each time the handle went round was dashed agaiut
the ground. A second man received a severe cut on the
'mid, and the two sufferers were immediately removed to
the infirmary at Shrewsbury ; but on their arrival one was
found to be dead.
