HABDWARE.—Bilimiontsx, Jars 2.—The trade of
this town continues quiet, and as to some branches there I
are complaints of a scarcity of orders, but there is no de-
pression in any respect ; the instances are comparatively
few in which manufacturers have not sufficient orders in to
keep their establishments engaged at full time, and it
seldom happens that they are in a much better position at
this time of the year. So far as relates to the metal trades
generally business is steady, and the demand for material
is quite up to the average. The out-workers generally
have up to this time been wall employed, which is the
best proof that trade here has not been seriously
affected ; the large manufacturers are also disbursing the
usual amounts of wages weekly, and although profit. will
be interfered with by the high price of money, the half-
year's returns will undoubtedly be greater than for several
years pest. The foreign trade continues dull ;on account
of the north of Europe very little is being done ; the South
American trade is also inactive ; there is a fair quantity of
West Indianf orders on hand ; a few have been given out on
account of some of the Eastern markets, though trade
with that quarter is upon the whole dull. In the South
Staffordshire and East Worcestershire district manufac-
turers generally are well employed ; the iron trade alone
is in a bad states

COTTON GOODS.—Mmecnearmi, Jmre 2.—A sanguine
impression prevails that, for the present, the lowest prices
have been touched. Last Saturday middling Orleans
cotton was bought in Liverpool at lid. and lied. per lb.,
and, under the pressure of a considerable demand from the
trade, has already gone up again to 134 d. The prices of
yarn and goods underwent a similar depression in value,
but have hardly recovered to the same extent as cotton..
The reaction in cotton has had the effect of precipitating
others for yarn and cloth held in suspense, and most of the
leading spinners and manufacturers are well under con-
trast, in most cases at rather better than the lowest terms
of last week. All that is wanted to induce a big, busi-
ness now is confidence, and greater facilities in the money
market for business men, who at t are hampered by
the enormous discounts they are alled un to pay. There
is no fear that cotton will not be cheap enough for
a time. The increased consumption of cotton, with
all the hands employed that can be procured, is
200,500 bales. The extra exports have been 161,8153.
The result is that the stock in Liverpool is larpr than the
whole extra import of the year, to say nothing of the
700,000 bales at sea and actually on its way here. In the
course of the past week we have had nay little business in
yarns for Germany, owing to the apprehension of war.
Hence trade yarns have been in request, and in some in-
stances prime are Id. to lid. per lb. (for counts under
50's) higher than they were hurt week They hardly close
perhaps, so strong as they were a day or two ago. The
principal demand for cloth has been for India and China.

CORN.—C•etaamos, Juxs 2.—Wheat mold slowly at
last week's prices. Beans and oats were each la. cheaper.
Wheat, 445. to 48e. ; beans, 46a. to 48a. ; oats, 245. to
Canual.e, JUNK 2.—There was again a small supply of all
kinds of grain at market this morning. Wheat sold slowly,and
in wine instances a reduction of price had to be submitted
to before aWe could be effected. Oats and barley were
in good demand, at full rates. Prices :—Wheat, white,
new, 19e. to 21s. ; red wheat, 18s. to 19s. • barley, new,

CoLoNzetsn, JUNI 2.—The supply of wheat was small,
with an inactive trade at the currency of last week. Beans
and paw soiree, and command fully last week's rates.

Gonavotro, Jtllll 2.—The supply of wheat to-day was
larger, and line samples commanded rather more attention
than lad week, bet inferior sorts were difilenit to sell, and
at low and irregular rakes. Wheat, Ms. to 58e. per qt, ;
barley, Ma. to ; oak, 20s. to 21k. ; beans. 40s. to Ma.

HUMOR% JCNI /—A small market end limited
supply of wheat, but it war in excess of demand, and
prices are rather lower, say 6d. to ls. per load. Grinding
Earleytea maintains its value, and oats and beans meet a
sale at fully late prices. Wheat red per load,
runs, 265. to 30s. • ditto, fins, 31s. ; white, 30s. to 325. ;

545. to 58s. ; old red, BON. to 525. ; new white, 50s. to

31s. per Malone. The demand foe oats was moderate,

sprinkling of beans, which sold readily at quite late rates.
