MARKETS.

HARDWARE—BrianconAx, MAT —The state of trade In
this town has not altered for many weeks ; everybody is com-
plaining of the total absence of animation, and aB the reports
are concurrent as to the fact of the orders on account of the
home trade being much entailer than is usual at this time of
the year . the country shopkeepers who are iu the hardware
trade are making up their Mocks to a moderate extent only ;
hence the 'Meknes& which manufacturers have to encounter ;
but there Is no actual depreamon In any branch. In the foreign
department btlat!res condor! comportthelylnaetirt tope-

dilly as regards the continental breneticif it : • few ord ;Vs hive
just been given out on amount of Eqpt, including one of some
extent for railway which has gone to the Midland
Wagon Company. Bather more is being done on account of the
East Indies, and some other of the Eastern markets; also to
Brazil and Cuba. The dulness experienced in the hardware
trade of late lla shown in the Board of Trade returns for March ;
the total value of the exports of hardware and cutlery in the
month having been g 346,2011 against x 400,1199 last year.
COTTON.—Llvnitroox, MAT 4.—We have had a good demand
to-day, and a more steady market, at previous rates. The sales
are 16,000 helm, of which 4,000 are for export and speculation.
COTTON 00099.—Mordig6rga, MAT 4.—The market for
yarn and cloth has been of a rather exciting character during
the past week, but the oscillations in price have been too violent
and risky to encourage much confidence amongst either buyers
or sellers. After a decline which had lasted over months, and
which last week had terminated In a sudden further fall of id.
per lb., a reaction came of so sudden and violent a character
that In less than a week cotton had recovered lid. per lb. Such
changes involve great risk, and often considerable loss. and are
very disastrous to a trade like this, in which for many years there
was so very little alteration of prices, that those engaged in it
could make their calculations ordinarily, though on a narrow
profit, with something approaching to certainty. For the last
six years It has approached more nearly to gambling than
trading, and even the most motions then have been ruined by
scores, whilst hundreds are brought to the verge or bankruptcy.
The market attained its highest point In yarns and cloths on
Tuesday. Since then there has been some slight relapse. Both
oplanere and manufacturers bold with a good deal of tenacity to
their advanced euotatlons, but buyers are in many instances able
to do business at something short of the highest quotations, and
it is almost needless to say that with so much cotton In prospect
there is not much confidence in present prices holding.

WOOLLEX.—LIMM. MAT t.—Then has bees a moderate
attendance both of manufacturers and merchants at the coleared
cloth hall this morning, and a alight Improvement may
be said to have taken place In the transfer of goods. The=
has been chiefly for plain cloths and heavy makes of coatings ;
several parcels of dark shades and buff drab mixtures have
changed hands as samples. Although the amount of Weiner
dune has not reached anything like a satkdactory character, and
the parcels which have been transferred have been small. a
greater amount of activity has been evident, and the inquiries foe
various claws of goods more numerous. There has been little
done In wring (skim, and as the termbiation of the season is now
at bawl, the transactions which take place most necessarily be
of a hand-to-mouth character. The white market has been quiet.
Ilairtima have not been in much request. beavers and other
heavy makes have only been transferral as samples. There has
not been any alteration in prices.

WOOL AND WOESTED.—BRADIORD, MAT 4. —The better
tone and greater armors reported on Thursday is maintained
to the end of the week. The amount of business dune in wool is
small, and confined to covering the Immediate necessities of
spinners. There is great caution manifested at the present junc-
ture. Stocks in the hands pt staplers are low, and they are not
disposed to increase them to any considerable extent. The re-
did demand and the near approach of clip tend to make
staplers slow in replacing. Prices are a shade better than last
week ; but amidst the gloom which then prevailed they were
unusually low, if there were any sales to test them. There has
lean rather more inquiry in worsted yarns, though sales are with
difficulty effected at the prices of last week. Where an advance
is sought business cannot be effected. There is still great want
of confidence, and the export houses refrain entirely from specu-
lative purchases. In pieces there has been a slight impnive.
meet, and the brighter weather of to-day is most hopeful. Some
home machinate, having held aloof as as possible, have been
obliged to opera.e, though they do so sparingly and cautiously,
and offer prices which frequently are rejected. Both continental
and American merchants are almost out of the market. The
quotations are a shade better than last week.

CORN —Carmanoa, MAT 4.-sir market was dull, without
any charge In prices from last week.

there was very little wheat on offer : the inquiry wax but dull,
and no noticeable alteration in quotations had taken place.
RUMMER, lIAV 4.—The wheat trade in this city has been
less active, and burinesa operations, on the part of buyers and
others, have been confined to satisfying immediate wants.
ihtherior descriptions of bath white sod wheat have brought
late terms, while holders of a few extra qualities demand about
is. per qr. more money. Boyers, however, operated with Sonic
rssienc. it being well known that there are very large supplies
now on their way to this country. The quotations for ivst
white wheat are 6's. to 70e.. and a few extra fine lots 70s

change of consequence we have to-day to note is in prime of
foreign wheat, which have advanced 10, ls. per barrel, caused
by a good Inquiry, and the higher rates paying for cargoes off-
°met. Barley declined lid. per barrel. Black oats are well
looked after, but very little to be bad. Maize continues In active
