COTTON GOODS. —MANCHU/ITER, Sept. 28.—We have
bad a declining market throughout the week. Buyers
naturally show much want of confidence under such •
state of things, and each day has shown • more limited
business transacted. The tendency of prices is still in the
buyer's favour. Very low and coarse counts of yarn are
difficult to sell at all. Shipping yarns of nearly all cleerzip-
Sons bare given way about id. per lb. since Tuesday, in-
cluding 40's mule, for which there has been very little
demand. Home trade yarns also very generally have de-
clined id. per lb. since Tuesday, but few manufacturers
have shown any willingness to operate even on these
terms, except to supply necessities which could not be
put off. In some cases, probably, a greater decline than
this would be accepted to secure business. In cloths there
is a decline of 3d. to Gd. per piece on all kinds of 34-inch
shirting', and some business has been done in these at the
reduction. Printing cloths are 3d., and jacconeta and
mulls hi. to lid. per piece cheaper to purchase. Domestics,
long cloths and T cloths are all easier. The market today
closes exceedingly flat.

WOOLLEN. —Lime, Barr. 28.—Although the dull
state of the atmosphere has somewhat retarded the sale of
goods in the cloth halls this morning, there has, neverthe-
less, been a slight improvement in the amount of business
done, and the transfer of autumn fabrics hate been in •
more animated condition than of late. In addition to the
usual appearance of Leeds houses, we noticed the attend-
ance of London and Manchester firms, along with one or
two representatives from Bradford apping houses, who
have made their selections chiefly from the tweed depart-
ment in light blue, grey mixtures, and steels. Orange
warps are yet well inquired after, and customers
are found for them as soon as presented. For the
London trade, especially, this class of goods seems to be
well adapted, as the buyers both from the City and West-
end are at present making frequent inquiries for them.
The coating trade has not been in au brisk a condition ; a few
moderately good parcels have, however,been naderred,
though the total amount turned over ns not been very
extensive. Plain cloths have been quiet. Fine heaven,
in plain and mixture colours, have been in pretty fair re-
quest. The inquiries for witneys have been small, and in
cases where transactions have taken place they have been
for the better class double plains, the lower qualities being
not much inquired after. The demand for hair-lists has not
much altered ; a few parcels of the better qualities have
changed hands, but transactions of any extensive cha-
racter have noetaken place. Prices are without change.

HARDWARE.—Bianlicon•s, Barr. 28.—N0 improve.
nient whatever has taken place in the trade of this town ;
here and there manufacturers have special orders, and are
doing an average amount of business, but.that is in a great
measure exceptional. In many branches in which ac-
tivity is usually experienced at this sewn orders are
small; the factors' travellers give anything but favourable
accounts as to the prospect of the country trade ; the shop-
keepers manifest • reluctance to make up goods except
just sufficient to meet immediate requirements, and our
manufacturers will oommenoe the new quarter with very
few orders beforehand on their books. The price of tin
has been advanced 31. per ton in the course of the week,
but most assuredly that has not arisen out of any in.
creased demand so far as relates to the large consumers
here. The detailed reports from the adjoining district of
South Staffordshire and East Worcestershire are bad ; in
scarcely any of the principal branches carried on in that
quarter is there full employment, and in other respects
the aspect of commercial affaire in the locality is far from
cheering. _ .

WOOL AND WORSTED.—BRADFORD, Sam. 28.—The
languor which has so long characterised the worsted trade
has been more decidedly marked during the past week.
There hu been less disposition than heretofore to do busi
nese, and the transactions have been unusually meagre
The business done in wool has been very small, and priori.
pally in those of the choicest class, which are not abundant,
and consequently not so easily depressed as other classes
which are quite neglected. So far as quotations have
been tested, they have a drooping tendency. There is the
same qaietness in the worsted yarn branch. The conti-
nental houses are quite inactive, and are not likely to
operate till they know the result of Leipsio fair, which
will commence on Monday. The Doziness done ban been
mostly on home account, and that has been far below the
average. Some spinners continue pretty well engaged on
some sorts, chiefly 40. and 36's lustre and 30's super.
Quotations are about the same as last week. The piece
trade continues equally flat. Most of the American houses
are out of the market, and both continental and home
merchants only operate to supply their immediate and
pressing wants. Many manufacturers have begun to work
short time, and others are likely to follow their example.
The prospect is very discouraging. Prices are weak, and
declining.

Tag 'TRADES' CONTERENCI AT PRESTON.—The
business in connexion with the conference of delegates
representing the United Kingdom Alliance of Organised
Trades terminated on Friday evening. The committee
appointed to draw up resolution' with reference to the
royal commission appointed to inquire into trade mitten
and the legalisation of the funds of trades' unions sob
mated the following resolutions TM the primary
object of the royal commission to inquire into trades'
unions is to obtain material for future legislation. 2. That.
although we, in common with the rest of the corn.
lIIILDity, deeply deplore and condemn the outrages which
have been committed, we find that the employing claimer
are endeavouring to prejudice the public mind in order to
obtain repressive legislation for clam purposes. 3. That
those outrages are, or have only been, practised by a small
portion of the trades of this country, and it is thav•
fore unjust to condemn the large numbers of respectab:e
artisans who are in union for the acts of • few. 4. That
in the opinion of this conference, just and liberal legials.
tion is required as the only proper way to cure the evil.
5. That the executive council of the Alliance be
instructed to communicate with the trades' councils of
other organised bodies, for the purpose of obtaining so
alteration in the law—first to obtain a bill for the
purpose of legalising the funds of trade societies.,
secondly, to obtain an alteration in the couibina.
Mon laws, as the recent decision of Baron Bramwell,
in the eras of the London operative tailors, hiui left
the law in such an unsatisfactory state that general
officers of trade societies may be committed to prison for
acts of indiscretion committed by members. b. That a
circular be issued sa early as possible by the executive
embracing these views, and inviting the co-operation of
the whole trades of the country, and that they also be
instructed to inaugurate public meetings for the purpose
of diffusing information amongst operative and other
clause. This series of resolutions was moved in confe-
rence by Mr. Lawrence, seconded by Mr. Normassell, and
carried unanimously. It wail also resolved " That this con.
ferenoe expresses its sorrow at the leas by death of
two of its most prominent members, Mr. Charles Bag.
thaw, of Sheffield, and Mr. George Newton, of I abagmr
—men who have rendeeed great service to the advancing
and carrying of questions which were considered condu-
cive to the welfare of the working classes, and also to
express our great sympathy for their widows for the loss
they have sustained, and recommend them to the kind
consideration of all who knew their husbands." The Imes•
tion as to the next place of meeting w-s left to the judo
vial council. A number of officers were afterwards ap-
pointed to attend the next conference. It wu also re.
solved that the funds should be raised by a fixed contribu•
Hon, instead of a levy as heretofore. Some complimen-
tary votes were afterwards paved, and the business of the
eonferenos then terminated.

Tics GREAT WESTERN GOODS DEPOT AT SMlTE-
FlELD.—OnSatttrdity the large depot of the Great Western
Railway Company, beneath the site of the Smithfield•
market, was opened for the reception of goods It is
intended to sup Fly the place of the warehouses at the lull
and Mouth, which are shortly to be pulled down. The mils
are not yet laid down which are to connect the depot with
the Great Western system, so that the yard will as yet be
n=2,l used as a receiving station for goods, to be Wass.
by the company's waggons to Paddington. When,
ported
the whole of the vast area below the market is
laid with rails and completed, this will form the largest
and most important ;roods station of the company. The road
into the depot isa spiral one, occupying the centre of the
old Smithfield Market and descending at a gradient of 1 in
Z. At the end of the descent are three large arches,
splendid specimens of skew brickwork, which carry the
road above, and through these i. the passage to the yard.
where temporary platforms and offices hive been erected
or the receiving and delivery of merchandise.
