HAW DWARF—Snawnronsw, Fri 22.— TM date of

in D'Arly every department. In the metal trades there
is little more life, het the bran founders at a meet.

inane in the price of tolled metal. The wire-drawers In-
k port =Weems dull • the edge-tool trade is s shade better,
and for sot= deseriptionds of fancy jewellery there are
more orders on the books. The military min-trade is leak
considering how mach of it has been lost to th frau of
this town ; for the time the barrel makers Ire buy. In
the foreign department business is, %ran the whale
sluggish, mainly la consequence of tk:e f rowstroo of the

COTTON GOODS.—Llalratesree, Fan. 22—This MOM-
leg the market opens with a rather easier and quieter
feeling. Spinneni and manufacturers all the week kayo
sustained prices with a good deal of fira.ness, tut prac-
tically they hove never been able to overtake the con-
stant advances in cotton, the vales of which have been
145,000 bales, including 67,000 to the trade. The price
of cotton has advanced; about lid. per lb. diving the
week, but goods and yarns have not re..lised an advance
of more than Id. or lid. per lb. at most over the rates of
last week. The cause of this has not alone been the
caution observed by buyers, and their unwillingness to
believe iu such a specabstive movement being sustained,
but is partly due to the speculative feeling retying been
early to manifest itself in this market. Both yarn and
cloth were bought early in the movement (at to 3d.
per lb. under present quotations), and the consequence is
that the holders can afford to offer them at rates which
entirely shut the spinner and manufacturer out of the
market. To-day buyers hold back from a conviction that
there will be a reaction.

WOOLLEN.—Lsros, Frt. 22.—We are not able to
report a very animated market this morning. The attend-
ance of buyers has not been large, neither have any trans-
actions of importancetaken place. The demand has shown
but little alteration. The inquiries for tweeds are still the
most prominent, but the parcels which have left the halls
this morning have not been of such magnitude as we have
sometimes had to note. They have, however, been in
tolerably gond request, and have formed the bulk of the
business operations in the coloured market. The transfer
' of coatings has not been large, but, as we have previously
remarked, the delivery of this class of manufacture from
the cloth halls is oonsiderably affected in consequence of
many parcels being sent to the merchant direct from the
manufacturer in the execution of orders. A few medium.
sized parcels of hair lists have left the white hall, but
upon the whole the trade has not been very brisk in this
&pertinent.

WOOL AND WORSTED. ERAnrow, Fall. ?2.
There has been a steady business doing in the wool market
during the past week. The demand is still confined to
the better sorts of wool, sod prices have a hardening ten-
dency. Holders of wool are exceedingly firm, knowing
' that they cannot replace their stocks at the rates current
in the market. Though prices have been stiffer for some
weeks past, yet the upward tendency is exceedingly slow,
the fractional advance of one week being with difficulty
established in the next. Spinners also have during the
week been seeking higher quotations for worsted yarns,
which have been in rather better request both for home
and export. There are some spinners who have recently
taken considerable orders, and are consequently •ery firm
in insisting on higher rates. A slight advance may be ob-
tained on some sorts. Low 30's, which have been long
neglected and selling at races quite unremunerative, com-
mand much better prices. A fair business might gene-
rally be done at late rates. The higher quotations soeght,
tend to check business. The buoyant state of the Liver-
pool market has caused some slight activity in the piece
trade. Some good contracts have been effected in plain
goods. There has also been same business done for America
and for France. Cheap lota of fancy goods have been
readily bought. Still the aggregate business done in much
below the average. Stocks are heavy in the hands of ma.
nut adorers, many of whom do little Nosiness. The demand
for camlets, lastinp, Lc. for the Eastern markets continues
active at higher rates. The upward tendency in cotton
warps creates a new obstacle for the manufacturer.

CORN.—CAMBSIDGE, FEB. a—The trade Ives' slow
with a slight advance upon all corn. Wheat, 75. to 80s.
barley, 40.. to 455. ; beans, 45a. to 55. ; oats, 275. to 33.;

Herrreoln, FED. 22.-A better supply of wheat today.
Buyers purchased readily at the extreme rates of last week,
and though we quote prloes no higher, these was a ten-
dency to advance. Barley is not quite so ready sale as of
late, and trade for all kinds. except best parcels, are
rather dulL Oats in request, and sell freely. Beans and
peas as before. Wheat, red, to 48s. white to 52a. per

per qr. over het week's quotations. White realised from
e Bs. to 85. ; red, 70a. to 765. per 36 stone. Fine barley
came scantily to hand, and there was a tolerable demand
at quite as much money as on the week preceding ; in the
value of secondary sorts no material change occurred.
Malting sold at 44a. to 465. per qr. ; grinding, 40s. to 42a.
per 30 stone. There was a pretty good demand for oats,
and the show being small buyers had to give • slight ad-
, vent* on late rates for superior samples-old, 36e. to 395. ;
new, 275. to 33e. per 24 atone. The show of beans was
middling. Bulginess was healthy, and remunerative rates
were obtained-old, 50s. to 55a. ; new, ies. to 51s. per 3$
stone. Supply of peas small, and prices were about the
same. Fine dour, 565. to 531. ; secondr, 524. to Ms. per
20 stone.
NEWCASTLE-ETON-TINE, Fn. 22. -The weather this

peetuotte at Intervals. At our market this morning we had
all average supply of wheat from the growers, for which a

pretty good, prices for all good dry samples met •• ready

now rapidly decreasing, and the best malting descriptions
were Wien off at extreme rates, while secondary and grind-
ing sorts else met a read, sale on late terms. In eats,

fine and spring like during the past week. White wheat
