COTTON GOODS. —llsltaiggrtit, MAWR 2.--Our market
Me continued sensitive all the week, with *num fluctuation in
prices. Up to Wednesday there was much depression, and
rather lower rates had to he taken by most spinners and menu.
faeturers who were not In a position to hold their productions
in a falling market. On Thursday advice' from America of a
falling elf In the receipt of cotton at the ports imparted rather
more firmness to holders at Liverpool. and sellers of yarn and
cloth here have, in some instances, raised their quotations of
yarn id. per lb. Generally speaking, however, the advance has
not been established. Buyers are very cautious. There has
been a rather more lively inquiry for cloth, and some large
oilers continue to be made for goods suitable to India, but the
prices nanied are generally too low. The wales have mostly been
of a very limited character. There have been some moderate
purchases for the Levant, and mulls. Jacconets and light bowie,
for India are still in some request, hat Mexicans and other
(thrice for China continue aeglected. The general tone of the
yarn market la one of depression.

WOOLLEN —Lien, MARCH t—There has not been a large
attendance of buyers at the cloth halls thin mornirqr, though
quite as much business has been door as could be expected. if we
take into consideration the general dulness which prevails
amongst the warehouses, and also the continuance of cold
weather, which greatly retards the sate of goods adapted for the
spring trade. There have not been many buyers from out towns
present ; a few Bradford shipping houses and one or two Man-
cheater firms have been represented, beyond which the attend-
ance has been composed of Leeds merchants. The parcels
which have changed hands have been more numerous than
large, and have included a sprinkling of most classes of
evidently in the way of sortingup or in supplying outstanding
orders The demand in the coloured hall has chiefly been
for tweeds, which at present appear to alosorb the most
attention, several parcels of blue-grey and light steel
mixtures have been transferred. A few iota of dark grey
and Oxford coatings in plain mixtures and stripes have also met
with purchasers, but only In small quantities. Plain cloths in
blue and wool-blacks, along with a few medley colours, have
hoer inquired for to a larger extent than of late, though the
aggregate amount of business transacted has not yet reached to
an average extent. No other department has been worthy
of special notice. The white market hail not 1 shown' any
new feature worthy of report. As hair huts now form the chief
article in request in this ball, the inquiries have ire oily been for
this make in medium and better qualities. In some instances
moderately goad parcels haregchanged hands, though the tone
of the market has not been very animated. There have been a
few transactions in Oxford mixture. meitims, and beavers, hot
the amount has been merely nominal. Prices have not been so
firmly maintained in many COM". as from the great difficulty of
effecting sales and the uncertainty so to the result of the pre-
sent wool sales, manufacturers are snore disposed to accept
offers.

WOOL AND WOLSTV.D.—Daaneono, MARCH 2.—There has
been a rather Improved feeling during the w ek, though the
amount of Wainer...done in wool has been meagre. Choice sorts
are most in demand, and being very scarce command fair prices.
The purchases made are to supply Immediate and pressing
wants. There Is very little doing other classes of wool. and
the tendency la downward in a slight degree, though the de-
mand is so small that prices are hardly tested. In wonted yarns
the business done has been very limited. Thera have been .1111

however, is very scanty In the axgregate, and spinners are cur-
Wliug to the utmost. Prices are not so unsettled
as they were. Goods are In the same limited request. The home,
continental, and American merchants operate very sparingly.
Prices are easier

HARDWARE—BIRMINGHAM, mum I —The trade of this
town Is In • very unsatisfactory state such has been the case for
some time past, but the tendency In that direction has somewhat
increased. and manufacturers in many of the Mat Important
branches report that business has not been so gat for many years.
The falloff In the supply of orders seems to be principally from
the agricultural districts the shopkeepers In the hardware
trade In those localities are not busing more than two.thinls
what they usually do at this season. In the metal trades only a
very moderate amount of business Is being 110110, and the 4e.
mand for material is much below whot it usually is. In the
foreign department there ts nab( to be rather more life: the
itraillian trade Is main opening, and a fair amount is being done
on account of the United :States and Canada: but as regards the
eastern markets and the continental trade generally, business is
extremely quiet.

THE Avon)Exec or STRIKES.—A meeting of the
operatives connected with the Nottingham lace trade wad
held in the Assembly-rooms of that town on Saturday
evening. Part of the business of the meeting was the at
tempt to adopt a plan whereby disputes between em•
ployers and employed should be brought before a pro-
perly constituted board of arbitration to avoid strikes:
such board to be composed partly of masters and partly of
operative lawmakers. A similar board exists in the
hosiery trade of Nottingham, and at the last meeting of
the Chamber of Commerce it was suggested that a like
board, in connexion with the lace de, shotild be esta-
blished. There was then, however, considerable difficulty
in the way. The subject was discussed on Saturday even-
ing, and the following resolution was ultimately put to the
meeting:—" Resolved, that we, members of the United
Society of Operative Lacemaken, in quarterly. meeting
assembled, being fully aware of the great evils arising from
strikes awl lockouts, and believing in the great benefits
derived by the hosiery trade from the estahhinent of a
hoard of arbitration, hereby express our desire to eats-
bliah a penuament board of arbitration to prevent strikes
and lock-outs, and are willing to meet the employers in
the lace trade to endeavour to form the same," The exe
entire committee were in favour of the resolution, and
the meeting was adjourned for a week in order to llow
time for full consideration.
