LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKET, Arazz 16.

The transactions this week, for the first four days, were without
interest the inquiry being languid, and prices unsteady, giving way
to the extent of mod. to %d. per pound on the price of Friday
week for American descriptions, but no sensible variation for other
kinds. The demand on Thursday became more lively and conti-
nued with good spirit yesterday, enablinc, holders to obtain nearly
the same rates as at the close of last week,' the market on the whole
appearing more steady. Exporters have taken 650 Bengal and 100
American, and speculators 2,500 American and 300 Bahia. The
imports are 15,807 bags, and almost entirely from the United States.
The sales comprise— _

STATE OF TRADE.

(From the Leeds Intelligencer.)

LEEDS.—Business in the halls and warehouses, gene..
rally, is steady, and prices improve. The stuff trade, how-
ever, is very flat.
BRADFORD.—The piece market was somewhat flat on
Thursday, but prices are steady. Wool is not in demand,
but yarns continue to go off smartly, and we hear of no
change of price.
HLIFAX.—On Saturday the market was dull. Fancy
goods only were disposed of to any advantage, the manu-
facturers declaring that the price of wool prevents them
from making profit.
HUDDERSFIELD.—The market here on Tuiday was
lively for fine cloths and fancy goods. The former are on
the advance.

ROCHDALE, APRIL 12.—Our market this -week has
b-Jen excessively flat, and very few goods have been sold ;
the advance which the manufacturers ask, though it bears
but a small proportion to the advance on the raw material,
his put a check upon the demand, consequently the wool
market has been very languid, but few sales have been ef-
fected ; prices remain firm.
LEAD.—We understand that lead has again advanced
t Lis week from 3/. to 3/. 10s. per ton, and is expected to go
still higher. Bar lead is now 281. 10s. per ton.
Fmrsiarrfts.—We may now state that the t ite-makers
have within the last few days returned to their work, the
masters having consented to give an advance of N cages, and
the men to admit to the trade a considerable number of
apprentices.—Sheffield Mercury.
THE IRON TRADE.—Seldom within these Tr Luny years
have the Carron works been more busy and extensively
engaged than at present. All the departments c,f this na-
tional establishment are in full operation ; andl while the
generality of mere foundries throughout the country are
suffering, more or less, from the effects of th e hate rise in
pig iron, and obliged to discharge many haru'ts, Carron con
tinues its deafeninc, roar, rather inspirited lay the advance
of price. We understand that besides Vac immense car-
goes lately shipped for various parts of -England and the
Continent, there are now within the corks upwards of
800,000 ton of smelted iron, both fro•al the hot and cold
blast—the quality of which, in the ma nufacture of guns
and machinery, has rendered Carrou so distinguished
among the ironworks of Europe.—Stirling Jouraal.

Considerable altt.trations arc in progress in Piccadilly
near the west corner of the Haymar ket: Several unsightly
houses which stood there have been taken down, for the pur-
pose of erecting handsome buildings on their site, which will
be. a great improvement to that neje lbourhood.
Yesterday forenoon the fog w as so very dense in the
metropolis, that it was necessary to have lights in the churches
during divine service, and to use, candles in the houses for
domestic purposes;. at twelve o',:lock, the fog began to dis-

appear.
