MARKETS.

HARDWARE—BIAItiwansw, APRIL 27.—The first part of
this week was observed as a holiday at many of the manufac-
tories, and this temporary close 'wee not inconvenient, for In
many branches they are partially making up goods for stock, so
comparatively lifeless Is the home trade. The quietude has in-
creased in the course of the last ten days. possibly in conse-
quence of the disturbing rumours from the continent, for so
sensitive has been public feeling on matters of this kind for
some time past, and such is the tendency to depression, that the
very slightest Incident is found to be sufficient to cheek anything
approaching to reaction. In the foreign department business is
unsettled the continental trade generally Is gat ; the favour-
able anticipations entertained as to the prospects of business
with the north of Europe this opting have not been realised :
and as regards the Mediterranean markets generally, business is
below the average. With respect to the United Mates and
Canada, comparatively little Is being done, neither is it entice-
piled that there will be any material improvement Lill towards
the autumn.

COTTON 000D4.-11MaMeerut APRIL 47.—Towards the
close of hat and at the beginning of the present week there was
&decline of prices In the cotton trade, approaching almost to •
panic. In less than a single week the price of cotton had given
way upwards of a penny per pound, with but little doing at the
change. The prices of yarn and cloth followed In the downward
race, but so far u cloth was concerned the reduction at
each successive stage of decline brought fresh buyers into the
market One large buyer for India and Chinacommenced opera-
tions early, being in the market towards the close of teat week.
This week others followed, including two of the largest shippers
we have. They bosght considerable quantities at the very lowest
prices; and it is remarkable that owing to the extent of stocks
these purchases seemed to be producing no effect up to Tl:ure-
day in causing any reaction. A reaction came on -Thursday :
but angularly enough It comes through a movement In the
Liverpool cotton market. and not through any activity in manu-
factures. It comes at a time when the stock of cotton is 826,000
bales, and when 643,000 bales are at sea on the way to this
country. People are • good deal at a lose to understand It,
and many believe It will be short livmi But in the meantime
it Is doing a little good here in the interest of spinners
and manufacturers whore losses have been almost ruhious
daring the fall which has taken place over the last two [eoliths.
Nominally prices have nearly recovered the loss of a penny per
lb. which had taken place in the week ending Tuesday. but
sellers at suchquotations fled batons checked very consider-
ably. buyers say they have been able to supply
themselves at id. over the price at the point of extreme depres-
sion. Some far sales were made yesterday to yarns for export,
especially to the continent, bat the market was a good deal
tamer towards the close, and is quieter to-day. There are always
a number of buyers who are holding orders back is the hope el
coming In at the lowest point, and some of these are now artk-
tng to place orders with more or less success, and are giving to
the market a little extra animation.

WOOLUM.—Carp, APRIL f7.—There has been a very thin
attendance both of manufacture's and merchants in the
coloured and white cloth halls this lone leg, and the business
transactions have been merely of a nominal character. hew
out town houses have been represented. and the buyers who
were present have made purchases only in cases of actual re-
quirement, with the exception of a few autumn samples.
Nothing of importance has transpired in the coloured hail. A
limited number of plain cloths have been tzansferred, along
with a few dark coatings, which have constituted the balk of the
business done lu this market. The white ball hu presented a
similar appearance. The Inquiries for hair lists still continue
without lunch animation, and the amount of business done in
these goods has been very email. A few pieces of heavers and
other heavy makes have changed hands, though only as samples.
Then hie not been any alteration In prices.

WOOL AND WORSTED. —BaAnrozn, APRIL t7.—The un-
certainty which still exists as to war or peace has a very depress-
ing influence on the wool market. There is an otter disinclina-
tion on the pert of buyers to operate beyond the supply of
urgent wants. A few staplers who force sales are obliged te
submit to a considerable reduction. Staplers generally, how.
ever, ate not inclined to do business, and quietly wait the turn
of events. A few =Mille" scarce and in limited demand,
enable spinners to supply their necessities. With the neer ap-
proach of clip, a large proportion of last year's wool still in the
hands of growers, and little demand, a marked decline in price
seems Inevitable ere long, and this apprehension operateegreatly
upon both seller and consumer in this market in inducing cau-
tion. In worsted yarns, the (Lerman continental merchants
refrain almost entirely from business operstions The business
doing for home account Is almost as bad. A few spinners have
still contmcm in band, but in most cases order* are expiring,
and spinners are either stopping frames or running to stocE
Prices are very unsettled. The torpor in the other branches is
not so distinctly marked in pieces. The home merchants ope-
rate very sparingly in dark fancy goods for autumn. Some
scanty purchases have else been made by American merchants.
The business for the continent Lamont stagnant. The tendency
of prices is downward.

wheat realised fully late terms, and for a few of the choicest
lots en advance of fully It to 2s. per qr. was realised. The
high terms, however, demanded by holders checked business,
and the transactions were chiefly in retail. The quotations

rior lots of white wheat, 04a. to 68a per qr. Best red

THE FENIAN TRIALS. DuBLIN, SATVRDAT
NIGHT.—The further hearing of the trials for high trer
son were resumed this morning, at the Commissioners'
Court. Corydon stated in evidence that it was he who
gave information of the intended attack on Chester Castle,
which was arranged the night before, at a meeting al
American officers in Edgar-street, Liverpool. The
Fenian leaders, suspecting treachery, countermanded the
enterprise. On cross-examination he admitted that he bad
been supplying the government with information since the
middle of 11466, and he kept the authorities well posted as
to where theywould secure concealed arms and Greek fin.
At that time two sources of income were open to him—
the government money on the one hand, and Fenian gold
on the other. He came to the conclusion that the
Fenian organisation was not worth spilling a drop of blood
for, and he then resolved to become an informer.
