re-
covered what it appeared to have lost in tone on
Thursday last, and the sellers of yarns have
shown
increased firmness at the improved tra es of this
day week. But the buyers have held back with
their usual caution, and the aggregate business
of the day has been of very limited amount.
At the previous quotations, hoWever, there has
been a disposition to operate rather more freely for
home consumption ; while, for the eastern markets,
we have continued to experience a very fair demand,
at full prices, fur No. 40's to 60's. But the buyers
for Germany and Italy do not seem to gain
confidence at all ; and they have accordingly
taken only such small parcels as might be neces-
sary in the way of assortment. For 40-inch
shirtings there continues to be a very active
demand ; and, as the makers are generally under
contract, still higher prices are obtainable by those
who have anything to sell. In 45. inch shirtings
there is a larger business doing, and in some kinds of
madapollams also. But printing cloths are quiet,
and long cloths, T cloths, and domestics, exceedingly
dull.

ROCRDALF, Mora)Ar.—We have had another slack
market today; the attendance of buyers has been
limited, and those few have shown no disposition to
purchase. The merchants have been offering less
money for pieces ; but the manufacturer cannot
afford to take a lower rate, with wool at its present
price.

- MACCLESFIELD, TIIESDAT.—The last week having
been a holiday time, there has been a partial cessation
of business ; but, since the mills have resumed work, we
hear of a better feeling in the market for goods, some of
the manufacturers having received fair orders. In the
thrown silk market prices de not as yet assimilate
to thatlof the raw material; and unless an advance
in this article takes place we apprehend a lessened
production—indeed there are already symptoms of
slackened trade amongst the throwsters. The dyers
are only partially supplied with work. The raw silk
market remains without alteration.

HUDRIZSFIELD, TUESDAY.—There has ( not been
much variation, if any, in the state of our market.
Since the last report things have remained pretty
nearly in the same state. There has been very little
doing in the warehouses ; the stock, however is very
low, and the manufacturers are employed in pre-
paring• for the coming season.
HAI AFA X, SATURDAY.—AIthough the attendance
in our Piece Hall to-day was somewhat larger, there
does not appear to have been a much greater amount
of business, and prices have undergone no alteration.
There is . more inquiry for yarn, but without any change
in the plc .tations. The wool market is more animated,
but We ci tnnot report any advance upon late rates.
448 "St TUESDAY.—No new feature to notice in
the woollen trade since last week. The markets are
again di ill ; but prices are firm, and stocks low. The
m
anufae ;firers are still making large deliveries direct
to the nu Talents.

ABOLITION OF TUE IRISH COURT.—IQ a reply to a
circular addressed to the Irish Members, Mr. R. J.
Tennant, M.P. for Belfast, states that it is his inten-
tion to vote for the abolition of the 'Viceroyalty of
Ireland, and denies that the measure can inflict any
injury on that country.
