COTTON.—LryzazooL. bac. 17.-7114 n4c of cotton
to-day am estimated at 6,000 balm A TAM market at
yesterday's rims.

COTTON GOODS.—MANCUUTIti, Dec. yarns
there is • fair demand for manufacturing at very
tall prior. Finer counts, and pastioularly doa yarns
above 80's, are in request for the Yorkshire trade. The
prices of these kinds of twist are tether higher. Low Dna-
berg of mule to let, up to ICe, for the Mediterranean, continue
la good demand, at fill rates. With thew exceptions
(rather considerable relatively) the yarn market is rather
quieter, and in 30'. cops for export rather lower rates prevail.
Ths setting in of frost has also been discouraging to the con-
tinental trade. &ale descriptions of cloth, ye/titularly shirt-
ing, for ladle, are also rather sealer In price, notwith-
wending the heavy contreets yet running at the highest rates
recently prevailing. The fabrics most In request for the
home trade, however, are very firm in price. Long cloths
and T-cloths have been taken be less pawkier' this week foe
hone coarrampUon, bra this arises partly from the extensive
eagegements for future delivery and the difficulty of placing
contracts for present or early use. Under these circumstances
sellers are not disposed to take lower rate., because of a
quieter market following a ran of active business. Printing
cloths continue well engaged, and this keeps the market
arm ; but there's less disposition to plate fresh orders in the
present tote of the market, and manufacturers coming onto(
contract have In some cases taken engagements on rather
easier terms. Most kinds of printers, however, are difficult
to obtain at full rates, available In any reasonable time.
Shirting, of 40-inch widths and hull= qualities meet with
a much more limited demand, and the advice; lest to hand
from Calcutta are of a nature farther to discourage opera-
tions. For 36-inch signiors there is still a fair business for the
home and other markets, and makers are well under contract,
at full rates.

WOOLLEN.—Lzons, Dic. 17.—Some good parcels of
cloth hays been sold in both the halls this morning. The ap-
pearance of the market wee only quiet, but the result vas
better than appearenom prowled. The tone of the market
is exceedingly Arm.

HARDWARlC.—Dnuenectime, Drc. 17.—The trade of
this town continue' brisk for the season, the manufacturers
(or the great majority of them) berg fully occupied in the
completion of orders in hand prior to the termination of the
quarter. Orders fur the home trade will for the next fort-
night be small, as the travellers are now making their way
homewards, and the shopkeepers order by letter only RICA
articles as are wasting for an immediate demand; and with
stock-taking and holiday-making, there will not be ranch
burners dons after next Saturday for the following ton days.
It is satisfactory, however, to fled that the year is finishing
up so well, and that to a great extent It will com-
pensate for the intervals of languor which occurred
chiefly in the second quarter. The staple trades
are all of them in a healthy state, and as many of the mann-
facturen have at this moment orders on hand fur next
quarter, it will prevent anything like depression, until the
ordinary trade of the new year take' a start. In the various
manufacturing trades of the district brines. is steady; in
the iron trade there has been more life during the week r
shown by the salts of pig iron at Wolverhampton, on Wed-
nesday, and in this town on Thursday. The preliminary
meeting of the ironmasters for the ensuing quarter takes
plot* cm the 29th fast.
