Gt.asoow, Seer. 30.—There has been a very good
demand for Cotton in our market this week, which was
occasioned more by the improved state of the Liver-

prices of cotton yarn. The sales are at an advance of
about per lb. and amount to 1,420 bales.
The state of the iron trade in the great mining dis-
tricts of Monmouthshire and South Wales is said to be
worse than it has been for many years. The prices of

they are lower in proportion to the rate of wages than
perhaps they ever were.

the workmen to remain unemployed. Abundant aid
from the Government is called for, to enable the work-
men to exist.
