MARKETS.

HARDWARE.—Butisumnan, APRIL 14.—The trade of
this town continues in a most satisfactory state, and has
been universally steady forthe last three months. During the
whole of that time manufacturers have bad an ample supply
of orders to keep their establishments in full work, the in-
stances havingbeen exceptional and comparatively unim-
portant in which goods have been made up for stock even
for a temporary period. The factors are now doing a good
average amount of business notwithstanding the dulness;
which undoubtedly prevails in the agricultural districts.
In the metal trades generally business is active ; the rol-
ling mills are in full work, and there is a good demand for
material. In the foreign department business is healthy; in
the course of the week a good number of orders have been
given out on account of the north of Europe, and in other
respects there is a fair amount of business being done with
some of the principal continental markets. The American
trade is moderately good ; with regard to the South Ame-
rican markets generally it is steady ; the Canadian trade
has been better than usual this spring, and that with the
West India is pretty good. In the adjoining district of
South Staffordshire and East Worcestershire activity is
experienced in all the principal branches at the foundries—
they are well engaged, and for every article classed
amongst railway fittings there are very large orders in
hand. The ironmasters' meetings for the quarter closed
this evening at Dudley.

COTTON.—LIVERPOOL, APRIL 14. Market very flat, at
a further decline of ,d. per lb. Sales to-day, 5,000 bake,
including 1,000 bales speculation and export. 2,000 Ameri-

Madras, 12d. to 13d. ; Bengal, Scinde, &c., Bid. to 9id.

COTTON GOODS.—Mssenzsrrn, APRIL 14.—The flat-
ness and depression in this market, which has been gra-
dually augmenting during the last few weeks, has been
more marked during the last few days, and since Tuesday
a feeling somethinglike panic has existed. Prices have
lost about 3d. to 3ad. since Tuesday, and the decline on
32's twist within a few weeks is at least 70. per lb. Some
reports place the decline since Tuesday at only 2d. per lb. on
40's mule, Id. to lid. on 16's to 32's water twist, lid. on
twist and pincers below 60's, and 2d. on doubled yarns
from 100's downwards, without tempting buyers to ope-
rate. Both single and doubled fine counts, from 120's
upwards, 2d. cheaper. It may be remarked, however,
that at this decline there is scarcely any business, and it
is only rather lower prices that will tempt buyers at all.
Manufacturers who hold unfinished contracts for cloth are
among the few chief buyers who are now operating. The
cloth market is affected much in the same way as that for
yarn, and to about the same extent. Many manufacturers
hold heavy unfinished contracts, which keep them from
seeking new contracts in such an unfavourable state of the
market. There is but little business, however, at the
command of those who are willing to accept the full
decline, and buyers are quietly holding aloof, or only
making offers which for the present sellers are unwilling
to accept, and which consequently lead to no business.
r Among sellers of yarn and cloth the number of those who
show anxiety to sell is on the increase.

WOOLLEN.—Lew Amt. 14.—The markets this
morning have been moderately attended, but the business
transacted has been limited. A few parcels of coatings
and tweeds have been transferred in the coloured hall,
though not to any large extent; the inquiries for plain
cloths have also been smalL The transactions in the white
market have been restricted to the transfer of hairlirts,
which have changed hands only sparingly. Rates are fully
maintained.
