MARKETS.

HARDWARE—BrauuGH•M, MARCH IL The trade of
thin town continues steady ; there has not hem any greet
soomeion of orders of late in any department, but is moil
instances manufacturers have more orders in hand
than they will be able to complete for delivery
this quarter, and a considers his number have already
been given out ore amount of next quarter. So
far u the home trade is concerned, the only slackness
experienced is in connexion with the agricultural
district* ; from thence. especially the eastern counties, the
orders received of late have been scanty. The foreign
trade is improving ; there we more orders coming
in on ocatinental accoust, • ouordersble portion of
which are for the markets of the north of Europe ;
• fair amount is being done for Sweden sad Norway,
there is also • good sprinkling of orders in from R 110414.
With respect to the American trade, no falling off has yet
taken place ; there are fresh orders io every week, and lug.
as has ben the amount of braises' done to that quarter
daring the last three or fourl mouths, the orders of this
month are very considerahle. The fall of 51. per ton in the
price of copper has been followed by • reduction is the
price of rolled metal—brass wire, kc., id. per lb., and copper
wire id. pee lb.

COTTON GOODS. M•xenseesa, linen 24. The
large arrivals of option this week at Liverpool have
affected the market and given a decided check to business
and to the upward tendency of prices. The effect was
palpable enough so early as Tuesday, when the sales fell
off very considerably, and business has been on a compara-
tively small scale ever since. La export yarns on Tuesday
the market was tame, and prices were in favour of buyers.
but spinners having large contracts already still adhered to
the high quotations of last week. In home trade yarns
manufacturers preferred waiting to giving the high rates
current, and there was a dull market. Since Tuesday the
market has continued languid and inactive, and prices have
given way in yarns to the extent of about Id. per lb. in
cases when spinners linnet holdieg contract' which preclude
them from competing for orders. Spinners of vans for
export are not pressing sales, but in home tr ads yarns there
bads hardly been business enough offering very folly to test
the full extent of she decline in values as compared with
last week. In cloth buyers were less 'arguing. and kept
beck orders on Tuesdav, but manufacturers were generally
firm in prices owing to the large contracts on hand for nearly
all kinds of printing cloths, shirtiegs, and light fabries for
ludis. For the lower &asses of goods weeklies, manifested
itself mo•e strongly yesterday, and this morning prices ge-
nerally hive beers weaker, buyers of goods on speealation
some reeks ago, at lower proems, having come into the
mark. t to off. r them for resale at prices which marinfac-
, turers are indispoesd to compete with.
