The Irish butter market has been unfavourably influenced

to-day are estimated at 12,000 balsa. ♦ good demand at full
prime.

COTTON 000D9.-2.l*Ncitssum, JILT 9.—Tbe busi-
ness of the past week bas undoubtedly bees large, and both
splutters Lod manufacturers, bedsides having sold from stock,
ban booked extensive contracts for tutors delivery. This
has boss ohledy owing to favourable advice., received from
India at the beginning of the week, which caused an advance
of yams of ed. to id. per lb., and increased firmness in
yenta. The news of the annisiiee has caused more ellapoiltion
to bay among Commute but in other respects has not had a
very desirable d fleet. It has, in fact, only excited a specula-
tive eV among sellers of carton, at Liverpool, which la
dlstur og the conditions on which couch of the business of
the put week has been entered upon. The goods most In
request Cr. light printers, light abirtings, and counts and
qualities of yarn suited to the home trade and for export to
' India. There 1., however, a good general demand for all
kinds of cloth and yarn.

SILK.—We have had a month of good current business
in silk, with slightly stiffening prices —occasional hesitations,
bat still, ea a who's, uninterrupted progress end a resump-
tion of the large deliveries of former months. In China silk
the very Hunted quantity of good silk has been a genesis dif-
ficulty with our manufacturers, and threattna to be still
more so, 11)1 we can i.esneely expect any reseunsble supply
before the snivel of the new silk early is September. In
Chinese thrown silk the stock is very small and the pries
very firm. 225, to 22,, ed. per lb. In Bengal silk we have
marked improvement, at pressen chiefly confined to the Ones
and better elegies ; still all (polities may be expeeted to par-
tiolpate to some extent. In Italian silk we have no arrivals
of new silk. At present the reelers talk of very high prime.
In Brulis and Persian silk nothing.—(Prom the Circular of

WOOLLEN CLOTHS.—Lsens, JULY 9.—There has
beep no feature in the market that requirn 'pedal notice.

recently.

HARDWARE.—Binmnsommt, Jinx 9.—Business is
rather more brisk than it wee a week ago. Quarter-day
having turned, the order. are given out with less relactanos,
and, upon the whole, trade here maintains en improving if
not so healthy an !upset a. could be wished. Tho reaction,
such es it le, Is not confined to the home trade, but in some
departments of the export trade there Is also more business
doing. The manufacturers have not many orders before-
hand, but they have most of them sufficient to keep their
workpeople on, though not qui e it full time, whilst the
number of persons out of employment is inconsiderable. In
the district the manufacturing trades are also improving.
With respect to the iron trade it is stated that there has been
• little more inquiry for most deecrlptions of finished iron In
the ovum of the week, and in the event of the armistice
followed by pence, no doubt the trade would revive
