COTTON GOODS.—Magcaurrin, Aram 7.—There
is a teeliog of great firmness in the market this morning,
and prices are still inclining upward• bete in cloths end
yarns. The amount of business has doubtless bees curtailed
at the close of the week by the occurrence of the Easter
holidays, but sellers have advanced their prices in must

spinners are, in some cases, under entracte which will em.'

the lower qualities of printing cloths, T cloths, and long
cloths, an rather lower; but the tees of India qualities of
shirting., of 8 lbs. to 81be weight, are a shade higher ; in
some kinds they are 4 and in otters as much as 3d. per
piece above the lowest rate* of last month; and of the
heavier of these description., the stocks in the bands of
minaret:Jaren hays been minty well cleared off. The pro-
duction of these goods is heavy, but with a continued de-
mand, sash as we have experieoced this week, it is not
improbable that prices will ne still more in favour of *eller.
The aggreitate business of the week has been greater time
for some time past. There is also m.,re doing is jecoonets.
(Ingle suited to the country houses are not inactive, but the
lateness of the season is very much against sellers.

WOOLLEN CLOTH.—Linns, Aram 7.—The market
in the coloured cloth hall be. beet. rather fist this morning.
In the white cloth hall there has been no material change,
and about an average quantity of cloth has changed owners.
There hes been cunetdetabie activity in the warehmiee
during the current week, and we notice a better feeling
generally prevalent. Most of the warehouses have done •
much battier business than in any previous week for some
Lima past.

HARDWARE.—Binutsousto, Aram 7.—Trade here
has again somewhat blackmail PielCll4lllll week's report, and
onion have sot non so freely in as they were expected
to do. Oat of such a multiplicity of trades it would be a
marvel indeed it some win not doing pretty well ; but,
on the whole, we have a return •f depressioa. It was
hinted a week or two since that some of the American
nierensats had orders in hand which were presently to be

manufacturers. As t. the rest of the foreign trade, it
cannot be very much wane ; there may be a few odd ordero

COLCHISTIR, APRIL 7.—We are without any alteration
in priess of wheat here to.dey ; supply moderate; buyen

ley, beans, and peas a short supply. Barley obtained Is.
per qr. more money. With beans and peas a slow trade, and
each 1.. per qr. dearer.
OLOUCESTIE, APRIL 7 —We had a small attendance to-
day, in consequence of a fair en Thursday lost, but sam-
ple' nf linghsh wheat were in rather liberal supply, and
gold at the turn dosser. Foreign quite nominal. A better
heliag existed for beans and barley. Oats do not partake
of any sensible improvement in price. Imports for the
week ending April 7:—Oats, 2 378.

GuILDIIOIID, APRIL 7.—The quantity of wheat at market
was again short. Nevertheless there was an indisposition to
purchase. consequently prices were a shade worse. Wheat,

425. to 47s Peas, 401 to 445.
HIIITTPORD, APRIL 7 —The supply of wheat at OUT mar-
ket to day was small; fine purees made rather better prices;
inferior descriptions dull. Barley met a free sale at Is. per

Nnwomrrsn-.rote-Trten, Aria. 7.—The weather this
week has been exceedingly favourable for field-work in ge-
neral, but the temperature continuing low, vegetation pro-
neness slowly. The trade during the present week has
ruled steady, and, although our arrivals of wheat have been
moderate, our millers have been enabled to purchase at au
advance of Is. per qr., the beet Wiabech red making 721
and Hamburg red 675. to 701, according to quality, at which
rater the quantity remaining over was quitted. Flour has
moved off slowly, choice households commanding 60e., and
in partial instances, 515., but at the latter figure only retail
quantities have been taken. Barley rather dearer, and the
falling off in the co sting receipts has enabled holders to
make some progress in granaried parcels, which previously
had been comparatively aegleeted. Malt without change.
Beans, peas, and oats have each sold on rather better terms.
At our marker this morning we had a much larger show
of wheat from the country than might have been anticipated,
considering that our farmers are so busily occupied upon
the had, but sloe arrivals coastwise being moderate, fresh-
threshed samples were taken off quickly at an amendment
of Is. per quarter extra, in partial instances being sold 2s.
higher. The best south country reds commanded freely
72.., but where more money was required, business was
instantly checked. In oreign there was alto mere passing,
general runs of Butt's red being worth 725., and other
eons in proportion. In flour not much 'stirring, but late
rates were well sustained. Rye rather more inquired for.
Mal ing and grinding barley in good request, and pointing
upward. Melt unaltered. Beaus and peas the turn
