MARKETS.

HARDWARE —Thrumasnaw, Aria, 7.—The trade of
this town continues active. Awe the new quarter com-
menced the factors have given out orders freely, and are in
many respects doing more than an average amount of busi-
ness for the time of year. In the metal trades there is
considerable animation, the tribe-makers especially having
• full supply of orders ; the edge-tool makers are also well
engaged. In wens of the fancy trades quietude is expe-
rienced, but as a rule manufacturers have had sufficient
to keep them going without making ap goods for stock ;
and the jewellers and goldohain makers report rather more
activity of late. In the button trade there is no
approach to animation, but neither is it in a worse et to
now than it has been for some years past. The foreign
trade is good, notwithstanding the large amount which has
been done an account of dowries in the noun of the last
four months. The ordre in hand are still considerable.
There is ado a fair amount twins done to Canada and the
West Indies. In the General continental trade there
mere activity ; the Spanish trade iv steady, and more
being done on account of the Mediterranean and the Le-
vant. With the north a: Europe business is fully up '
the average, the only actual quietude experienced is
connexion with the Esteem markets.

corrow GOODB.—Maircaasrin, Aran. T.—We ba
had a degree al dither and depression this week far
road what oin be attributed is tits intervention of

tolitlais. Them can be se doubt that the large reo
cotton at Liverpool during the hart three weeks have bad
strong tendency to discourage buyers for al markets.
There is a stock of 863,000 bales in Liverpool, of which
70,000 are American and 41000 Brazilian ; and the quan-
tity in transits (at sea) is 675,000 bales, of which 100,000
are American. The impression amongst buyers of manu-
factured goods is naturally that there is &anger in pur-
chasing at present high prices, and many of them are hold-
ing aloof. Under these circumstances lffs water twist h
declined during the week id. to id. per lb. ; 40's int
yarn is about 44. per lb. cheaper, and 12's twist for
home trade has declined about Id. Doubled yarns, 30's
40's, are lower, with little doing, and the higher counts a.
much neglected. There is verylittl• doing in Bolton yarns,
and prices U. weaker. The finer count' are dull, but large
contracts prevent prices for the present undergoing much
change. G'Uth is almost stagnant. Manufacturers who hold
contracts do sot give way much in price, but those sowing
out of contract are easier to deal with. There is a wide
' margin between the prices offering and thaw required,
consequently very little business has been effected.
