MARKETS.

COTTON.—Lyriaroor.. JAW. 4.—The males of cotton
today are estimated at 7,000 bale.. ooneistian of about 90
Palma and Maranhao, at 41. to sp.; 260 Bahia, at 60.
to 61.; 300 Egyptian, at 6p. to 7pl. ; iM Surat, at 2p. to
334. The total sales since Tharodsy mount to 34000, and
the imports to 30,000 belie. The market (dosed steadily
contested with Friders rates; prices of Americana, 4P.
to 60. are nearly i clearer from want of the sane amount
of choice. Everything else unchanged.

COTTON GOODS.-114.xolizavaz, ZAst. 4.—The mar-
ket is reported as steady in prices, with only a few sine
Lionel cues, but there is less Widnew than a few weeks
back. The position of the market is mush better than
could have been anticipated a couple of month's back, and
the present lull is perhaps enly what might have been ex-
pected after the large trade of December, and the interests-
tion of the holidays peculiar to the present season.

CORN.—Biaretgonms, JAW. 4.—(:flaunter and Wor-
cester market', on the 30th, closed at an advance of 2e. per
quarter on wheat. Barley dull, and only taken in retail.
Black and grey oats maintained their value; white rather
cheaper. Very little doing in beans or peas. During the
present week few transactions in wheat are reported, and
in these the turn in price was in f of the buyer. Oats
and barley nominally unaltered. Beans tending down-
wards. At Wolverhampton, yesterday, the supply of
wheat was limited, but prices were rather lower. At this
day's market there was a fair supply of wheat, and to effect
sales a reduction of le. to 2s. per quarter had to be sub-
mitted to. Barley tending downwards. Grey end black
oats realised quite as mach money, but white were offering
rather lower. Beans and peas both ls. to 2e. per quarter
cheaper.

DEVIZES, JAN. 4.—We had a large supply of wheat;
choice samples nearly maintained last week's prices; but
middling and inferior qualities were from ls. to 24. per
quarter cheaper. Earley was in good supply ; the prime
malting lots sold quite as well as last week ; but in other
qualities the turn was in favour of the buyer. Oats were in
improved demand and d . In beans and peas no alte-
ration. Wheat, best red, 755.:t0 785.; middling, 661. to
751. ; inferior, 555. to 665. ; barley, 355. to 41s. ; oats, 284.
is 36e. ' • beans, 48s. to 60s. • peas, 38s. to 48s. ; flour, fine,
575. to 61s. per sack ; seconds, 545. to 575.

MANCIIIIITEL Jaw. 4.—Thue has been a moderate con-
sumptive demand for flour since our last report without
any material change in prices. Oats and oatmeal have
ruled hem ; but beans, peas, and barley have slightly re-
ceded in value. The imports at Liverpool from abroad
are Otis week more liberal of wheat, but leas exteneive of
Indian corn. From Ireland the arrivals of oats are light,
but fair of oatmeal. At our market this morning a fair de
mand was experienced for wheat at fully last week's
prices. In flour there was very little passing, but sellers
were firm in requiring late rates. Oats and oatmeal were
only in moderate request without change in value. Beans
and peas were each Is. to 21. per quarter lower ; and barley
barely maintained its previous value.

NEwAttn, JAN. 3.—At our market today we bad a small
attendance. The business done in wheat was but mode-
rate, and at last week's prices. For barley a fair sale was
effected, but at a decrease in price of le. per qr. In oats,
beans, and other articles scarcely any demand, and little
doing. Averages :—Wheat, white, from 80s. to 82s. ; red,
775. to 785. ; barley, malting, 345. to 38s. • grinding, 32e. to
360. ; oats, 325. to 365. ; beans, 485. to 6151. per qr.

NEWBURY' JAN. 4.—We have this day a good supply of
every deseriptien of grain. Wheat met a slow sale at Is.
per qr. decline. Barley frilly Is. per qr. lower, also oats.
Beans and peu Is. to 2. per qr. lower. and altogether a dull
market.

Uxuatnoz, JAN. 4.—The supply of grain at market to-
day is good, but the trade rules dull, and the condition of
wheat not being so good, rather lower prices were taken
Spring corn is also Is. to 21. per qr. lower in value.

WATERFORD, JAN. 3.—Oar Suppler of home grown
grain have been limited since Saturday, but of flour we
have had considerable arrivals both from New York and
Liverpool. Our market is quiet, but steady, with • fair
amount of business passing in moat articles, at the prices of
last week.

GLAsoow, JAN. 3.—With the exception of 2,600 sacks
flour from Ireland, the arrivals during the week base been
small, the only arrival at Grangemouth from abroad being
471 qrs. wheat and 43 qrs. peas; the weather, however,
has now become moderate, and we may expect the long-
looked-for supplies to be dropping in. This day's market
was quite of a holiday character, being very thinly attended,
and in the absence of business we can only repeat last
week's quotations for all articles—buyers of wheat appear
to be holding off for the much talked of supplies, which have
been so long expected.

EDINBURGH, lAN. 3.—We had in the market to-day
1,276 qrs. wheat, 2,345 qrs. barley, 1,233 qn. oats, and 188
