COTTON GOODA—MAnciirsrea, MAILCH 9.—There has been
very little business to-day, and the market continues fiat and
Inactive. During the whole week there has been dulness and de-
pression. The production has been greatly decreased both in
yarn and cloth by short-time working and by turn-outs for
wages, but stlll it is in excess of demand. Nearly all the mills in
the large town of Stockport are stopped in conacquettre of the
operatives refusing to take a considerable reduction 4o! wages.
The oilers of buyers for lre to 24's watertwist are ed. per lb.
under aerates of last week. Ylnc numbers are id. to id. per lb.
lower, and doubled yarns are cheaper. Very low counts of yarn
are lower In price, and the business doing at the reduction is
small. In cloth there has beer some business In 811 h. shirting*
by accepting lower prices. Mules have sold where moderately
early delivery could be secured. There has been son demand
for T cloths for the Levant, text lower prices have had to be
taken for gfitnchT cloths and Mexican. Domestics, printers, and
madapollams aro somewhat easier to buy. The whole tone of
the market during the week has been to depression, and most
goods are rather easier in price. Buyers have evidently no confi-
dence that the present prices of cotton can be stuotalned. There
are 319,440 bales of cotton on the way to this country, of which
140,000 are American ; and the stock on hand is 533,11:30 against
b 96,760. The weekly purchases of the trade to the present date
of this year have been 37,000 bales against 41,000 same time last
year, and against 46,600 per week on the average of last year.

WOOLLlffli.—Lintrei, MARCH e —The markets this morning
have not presented much animation. there not having been
many buyers in attendance, and the wholesale houses from
other towns have been but poorly represented. The state of the
weather hu been such as to suspend any transactions in spring)
la taking place, except in 1.14101 of emergency. The demand
la the Coloured Hall has been very limited, few goods have left,
excepting those being delivered to orders previously given. A
few pucks of tweeds in the prevailing shades have been
transferred, along with a sprinkling of fancy coatings in different
styles. The plain cloth department has also Ixeru quiet. The
li bite Market has varied little from the above as to the amount
of actual business transacted. The Inquiries for ludrllsta have
not been numerous, and the parcel. which have changed hands
have not been of any importance ; the medium and finer quell•
Hes still maintain their recent position, and although there has
not been a large business done in these numbers, they still claim
the chief attention. Cricesare without any noticeable alteration.

WOOL AND WORSTED.—BasbroaD, liana! 9.—There has
been a much quieter feeling pervading the market during the
past week. The animation of the past fortnight has subsided.
The quantity of wool purchased has been very small. Choice
sorts of wool are In fair demand, but they are scarce and low.
consequently a hardening tendency. Combing wools gene-
rally, however, scarcely maintain the rates recently current.
The business done in worsted yarns has been confined to some
particular aorta, and has bees very scanty. Some spinners, em-
ployed in 4o's for Resells, are still under contract, though the
demand for that market Is subsiding. There has been more
Inquiry for genappe yarns, and the lower qualities of carded
yarns are in rather better request. The home demand is slightly
Improved. PliGll vary according to the position of the spinner
with regard to his sumilyof wool , it he have a stock not purchased
recently he cannot afford to accept the low rates offered, and
cannot do business. The business doing In pieces% only limited.
The home houses are doing a fair business, bet It is below the
average. The American and Continental merchants operate very
scantily.

HARDWARE.-1111111110HAN. MARCH 9. —There Is no improve-
ment whatever In the trade of this town : the country orders are
small for every demerit Hon of our manufactures: as a rule, those
given out by the factors are sot much more than half what they
usually are at this season, and no such slackness as now prevails
has been experienced for at least a dozen years. Hitherto the
men have been working the fordinory time at most of the niames
factories, but now the orders are so closely worked out that
unless some reaction takes place It is quite certain that short
time will come into operation, there being no inducement to
manufacturers to make up goods for stock whilst the trade of
the country remains in the peculiar condition it now is. with so
much of uncertainty as to the period when It will be restored to
n healthy condition. In the foreign department there is no life:
the best orders in hand of late have been on account of the
United States, and yesterday orders were received irom Bombay
and Madras. The Indian exchange is a little more favourable.
A fair amount of businem ls being done to Japan,

A CAUTION TO SEEPSTRESSI3.—A story which
went the round of the papers a few years ago will be re.
membered by some of our readers for the mixed impre.
sions of sensational interest and utter incredulity which
it excited. It was briefly this. A man in the act of ale
ting a young woman to whom he was attached clasped bet
en his arms ; shortly afterwards he became faint and
It was found that the young woman indulged in the pe-
rilous habit of sticking needles in the front of her diem,
and that one of them had pierced the heart of her fool
but unfortunate lover. A case which oocurrei
the other day would lead one to think that tie
story posses.eil some degree of probability. On Feb.
11th • woman of very intemperate habits died rapidly,
with symptoms of fainting. After death the pericardium
was found full of blood, which had escaped from woun,ii
in the aorta. The gentleman making the examination
pricked his finger with • common sewing-needle, which
was lying in the pericardial cavity, and which was doubtless
about the last thing he expected to find in such a situatioc.
There is no history to show how it came there. The needle
may have been swallowed, but as the woman was in
habit of using the front of her dress, in the situation of the
heart, as • cushion for pins and needles, it is very litedy
that whilst falling about she drove the little wear,
through the wall of her chest.-7/te Lawn.

FOLDING NEWSPAPERB.—It is not, we think,
generally known that the ne despatched to th,ir
country customers by Messrs. W. H. Smith and Soa
folded by machinery. Apropos of this, the follows;
appears in the Newspaper Press of February 1:—"!
feeding-boy rapidly detaches each sheet, and jerks it into
the power of a pair of rollers at the top, which catch it
1 up and suck it down into the table beneath, where it
rapidly traverses a series of tapes, till it is checked at tie
precise spot by a ' stop,' and a long blunt knife demeaning
consigns it, with one long fold down the middle, to the
table below, where, traversing another system of tapes. It
gets by the same process another fold transversely, and a
despatched in the twinkling of an eye to the third tahir
to get the finishing fold, and suddenly shoots out from tie
side into a receiver, a perfectly and correctly folded copy.
This, as we have said, is at the rate of forty copies per
minute for each machine. Of mune, much depends sp•
the condition of the paper ; if too wet, two copies will p
in together, bet, by practice, the feeding-boys have rt.
quired so much dexterity, that such a thing rarely mem
in a day's work, and, as a stimulant to care and attentka
the boys who make none of these mistakes during the dal
get an extra twopence."—The Stationer.
