COTTON GOODS.—MAJICII2IIThIt, Arm 13.—Badness here
throughout the week has been on a very limited Seale, with=
depresaion In prices. Messes. Munn and Co. give a
:almost photographic) picture of the trade of this district, no far
as spinners and manufacturers are concerned. They say, "con-
sumers are holed with a harassing and toeing trade, to which
they can yet see no probable termination. There Is no hope for
them, in fact, with cotton at Its yet artificial price. It Is nut of
the nature of things. They may as well close their mills as
struggle on In vain hope of a better state of things with the raw
material at its present worth. To go on working means to go on
losing their property. In this respect many see the beat, and yet
the worst pursue : but others have Judgment to see what Is
beet, with moral courage to do It. Others there are whose cir-
cumstances are such, that to suspend working would be to sus-
pend payment. Of course these have no choice but that of ow
enmity." We have no change In the market since yesterday.
Prices have declined fully id. per lb. during the week In yarn,
and there seems to be no improvement either in business or con.
lidence. The sales of loth yarn and cloth are of a retail cha-
racter, and there is a prospect of still lower prices. The imports
of cotton this week have reached nearly 100.000 bales, augment-
ing the stock to 710,000 helot while the quantity at sea on Its
way to theae markets is 470,000 bales. Dleomaged by failures
In the trade In this district, besides suspensions at Liverpool.
buyers fur nearly all markets are disposed to stay operations for
the present. The only sales made have been of a retail character.

WOOLLILN.—Liazon, Minn Ig.—There has sot been a large
attendance of buyers at the cloth halls this morning, and an
absence of animation has been evident in both departments In
thecoloured market there has been littledolng In spring Roods: •
few isolated parcels of amitosis have changed hands, beyond
which nothing has transpired in thin fabrics. Attention has
been chiefly directed to the heavier makes ; some tolerably good
parcels of mixture coatings have met with purchasers, as
samples for the coming season. flairlista have not shown any
signs of Improvement the demand has again been small. and
but few transactions of Importance have taken place. Prices
remain without alteration.

WOOL AND WORSTILD.—BiAneonn, APIUL 13.—Though
the marked depression apparent at the beginning of the week
somewhat subsided as the week advanced, yet the business done
in wool was very restricted. Staplers have manifested no disposi-
tion to increase their stocks, sad buyers confined their orations
more and more to the supply of their immediate and pe
pressing
want. Except In some choice poets, such as Down wools, both
skin and fleece, and picked hop fee lasting& quotations have
been a fraction easier. In wonted yarns the business has been
very limited. The leading spinners of super 30's continue busy.
Some small operations have also taken place in the better quali-
ties of carded yarns and in lustre'. Vnremunerative prices are
frequently accepted to keep frames running. The same dulness
prevails In the piece market. klanulacturers, like spinners,
curtail production to the utmost, and are, notwithstanding,
so limited is the demand, working to stock. The home demand is
the best part of the trade, and yet It Is far below the average.
The German and continental trade bare been greatly restricted
on account of some apprehensions of peace being disturbed. The
American business has been confined to a few purchases for
immediate shipment. There Is no appreciable change In prices.

HARDWARL.—Bramtnoaan, Aeitn, la—The trade of this
town shows no vitality whatever ; the orders received through
the factors who are most extensively engaged in the home trade
are small, through shopkeepers evincing a marked reluctance to
make up their stocks. the result of this is that in almost all the
principal branches canted on here slackness is felt to an extent
which is seldom experienced. At some of the manufactories
there are departments where the men are not working more
than three or four days, and the outworkers are worse off in that
respect. both merchants and factors report that orders
were never more eagerly sought after by the manufac-
turers, and that they are now executed in one-half of the
usual time. In the metal trades generally quietude pre-
traila, and the demand for material falls very short
of what it usually i. The foreign trade is reported of lam
favourably . the orders on account of America have declined
since the Tariff Bill was got rid of and as to South Africa and
Australia comparatively little is being done ; the war rumours
have also already unfavourably affected the continental trade.
There is rather more inquiry for hardwares on amount of some
of the Eastern markets. and the latest advice' from that quarter
are more our The ironreasters' quarterly meetings
terminated at Dudley this afternoon. hut matters affecting t►e
trade remain in precisely the same position as at the close of the
meeting to thls town. _

OPENING OF THE NORTH VALLEY RAILWAY.—
On Saturday a short line of railway, running from the
Midland line at Keighley, near Leeds, to Oxenhope, in
the valley of the North, was formally opened for traffic.
The chief interest in the event to the general public lies
in the circumstance that the line affords &COM to the
little moorland village of Haworth, which has attained a
world-wide fame as the home of the Bronte family.
Hitherto the only approach to Haworth has been by a
steep and difficult highway road from Keighley, which is
graphic;dly described in the opening chapter of Mn.
Gaakell s " Life of Charlotte Bronte. The new line of
rail, however, has one of its stations in the village, the
terminus of the line being about a mile and a half beyond,
at a little place on the edge of the Yorkshire moors, called
Oxenhope.
EAST NORFOLK RAILWAY.— This line, which will
establish railway communication between Norwich and
North Walaham, has been commenced after a lengthened
delay. The contractor for the works is Mr. W. S. Simp-
son. The Great Eastern subscribes one-third of the Aare
capital.
GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY. —This company's
extension from Lincoln to Honington was opened for traffic
on Friday. The contractors, Means. Kirk and Parry, in
conjunction with the directors of the Great Northern,
made liberal arrangements to celebrate the occasion, nume
roue visitors having boen invited from London, Lincoln,
Boston, Sleaford, C,rantham Newark, kc. A dinner took
place in the afternoon at the Caythorpe station, Colonel
Paoke, M.P., jpresidian,
CHURCH RATE PROSECUTIONS.—Thirty-two rate-
payers of Berkhampstead who were summoned last week
before Mr. F. J. Moore, Mr. R. Bright, and the Rev. J.
Williams, for refusing to pay • church rate, have bees
served with orders signed by the first named two magis-
trates for the rate and costs, 7s. each, to be levied forth.
with, and if not so paid the same is ordered to be levied
by distress and sale of their goods and chattels, and in de-
fault of sufficient distress on that behalf they are adjudged
to be imprisoned in Hertford Gaol for seven days. Some
of the recipients of the orders are exhibiting them in their
shop windows, and expreu their determination not to obey
them. In consequence • good deal of excitement prevails,
and it is expected that seizures will shortly be made, and
a public sale of the goods of the recusants take place.
