MARKRT&

11ARDWARE MUM%CHAN, >rlarm 3.—The state of Motto
in this town is much the name u it has been during the last
month : there is no tendency to further quietude, but the
factors' orders continue small comparatively, and manufao•
turora are, with few exceptions, very closely worked up, orders
being got out of hand, and delivered u Rhin a few days of their
being distributed. In the metal trades generally. Including
brass founders, the amount of business living done is not nearly
ai great as Is usual at this season ; the electroplaters, jewellers,
and edge tool makers also report unfavourably. In the foreign
department business is a little more active, chiefly on account of
the West Indies and South America. The northern continental
trele shows more life ; but as regards Italy, the Levant. and the
Egyptian markets only a very moderate amount of lasiness Is
being done, and credit Is not la a healthy state as to some of
them.

COTION.—LITIRPOOL, M&ICW 24.—There has been a slight
Improvement In the demand prices, however, remain unaltered.
The sales of the day are estimated at t 5,000 bales, of which 2,000
bales for speeulation and export.

COTTON GOODS.—MANCHISTItIt, MARCH !S.—Business was
a good deal checked at the commencement of the week he the
Mahar prices pruduocru were quoting, in consequence of some
advance in cotton. Spinners of slopping yarns demanded
all 5.11111408 to 1.1 per lb. on the rates of the previous
Tuesday, hut buyers luring lately supplic i their wants tolerably
freely abstained from operations of any moment. The market
for Mane trade yarns was affected in much the same wm. Since
Tuesday the stagnation has somewhat Increased, and the market
has become dcprosaed, so that sellers may he said practical ly to
have lost the whole of the advance gained at the begintainituf
the week, though they hare not quite lowered their quotations
nominally to the rates of last week. Even at very low quota.
tiling very little busbiesa has been possible. In cloths mintiae.
tuners rei...4 their peke, nominally in prop.rtion to the advance
os yarns, but they could not effect business at such fates. only
&moderate trade could be done at lower rates, and prices an:
now as low as last week, without attracting much business. The
males for all tuarketsare very limited, and there Is a good deal of
irregularity in prices, owing to some producers pressing for sales
more than others.

WO‘lLLEN.—ligles, MARCH Z.—There has been a very• quiet
market In both departments this morning. The attendance of
buyers from a distance and also from Leeds houses has been
small. The amount of business transacted has been of a similar
character, and few parcels of any importance have left the
cloth halls. The unfavourable state of the 'weather will greatly
retard the sale of spring gouda, and the advanced period o f the
season will also cause a general disinclination to purchase except
in case of actual need. A few parcels of tweeds and fancy coat.
tugs have left the coloured market. though merely to a nominal
amount. The inquiries for plain cloths have been very inani-
mate. No other department has been worthy of note. flair•
lists have been quiet la the White Ilan, and as these goods now
(ono the bulk of the transactions in this market, au evident
want of animation Las prevailed. There has not been any alters-
llon in micas.

WOOL AND WORSTED.—BRADVORD, Ifaun 22.—Therehaa
been unusual quixtness in the worsted trade during the put
week. The demand fur wool has been very scanty. and only• te.
supply the immediate and pressing wants of the spinner. Th,
supply of wool in the market, and especially of deep-grunt
wools. Is not large. and this scarcity tends to maintain prices.
which generally are tolerably Ann. In worsted yarns there has
been a fair inquiry for estrous classes for export. though the
purchases made are only lanai. The prices offered were fre-
quently at low that spinners could not accept them. net' baa
been a fair buaniess done for house account. Prices have been
rather easier, but the price of wool tends to present isn3 af'Pre*
