MARKETS.

00ITON GOODS.—MAscintrrit, Fn. 13.—The grow-
ing bnprerios that Chia country may escape being involved
in the war between Germany and Iron:ark, the easier state
of the money market, and more &ramble commercial ad-
vices from China, have combined to give • better tone to the
cotton, yarn, and cloth market throughout the week than
has prevailed for some time pest. the oonsequeuos haw been
an rename of briars, and somewhat inspired firmness in
prime. There have been so s& purchases of yarn for China,
and of low counts and extra hard twist for the Levant and
some of the markets nearer home, including Oermany. In
most case@ very full prior have bees obtained, but any
attempt to establish an advance is shipping yarn'
has checked operations. For home trade yarn, thus
has been a steady burner at rather higher prior,
and with less irregularity than has lately re-
vealed. In loth there has been some business for China,
Batavia, and some of the markets of South America. There
has also been a fair inquiry for long and T cloths suited to
the Mediterranean, which has lad to some Latium& As far
as we can learn it has not resulted from any general demand
having sprung up. but from the fact that daring the de-
Faeroe of the last six or eight weeks "wars which had
accumulated is numerous hands have bees sought to be
placed, and where an advance of prises has not interfered,
the attempts to place such orders have been sucoref al. In
40-inch plain and figured China shirtier sellers have ob-
tained 3d. advance per piece, but as • rule sellers re
that it bas been difficult to establish any advanos.%rit
margin between the cost of cotton and the selling price of
cloth is still so slight that manufacturers are much dis-
pirited, acd many are still talking of dosing their mills, in
addition to those who have stopped already.

provement in the market this Rimming, particularly in the

were at embeds in favour of the buyers. Other articles were
nominally the same as last week.
BOCILEITIZ, Frs. 13.-Trade rtmained in the same de.
pressed condition which has prevailed for some time past,
and there was little or so disposition ors the part of millers
I to speculate, the seism for the most part being of the mereat
retail character. There was a fair supply of wheat placed
on the steads, but business wee flat, and late rates were
with difficulty supported. Beet samples of white made
44e. to 475., and red 40s. to 445. per quarter ; secondary and
inferior kinds of white, 425.t0 445. ; and red, 375. to 40s. per

rage show of barley, and the value was about the same as

345. to 365. per quarter ; grinding, 255. to Ms. per quarter.

sad others 16a. to 20s. per quarter. Beans were in paler
better request, and the prime about the same. There was
• slow damaud for dour, and the sales were confined chiefly
to the best kioda, which were dose at terms slightly in
favour of buyers.
Wissam, Fn. 13.-The supply of wheat to-day is good,
of oats, braes, and peas large. Wheat has lost the ahil-
ling obtained last week, but the farmers are not free sellers
at this. All spring corn is dull. and the price in favour of
the buyer.
WOICISSII, Fan. 13.-At this day's market there was
full supply of whom, which sold slowly at barely the cur-
rency of this day se anight. Barley nominally unaltered.
Oats frilly as dear. There was some inquiry for both beans

YORK. Fn. 13. —There was hardly an av show of
wheat, which consisted of rod and white descriptions.

fiat, and prices were rather lower then last week. Prices
for new white ranged from 40.. to 455. ; for new red, 375.
to 40e. per 36 stone. Barley came to hand less freely, and
the demised for superior qualities wee fair, late rates being
well maintained ; malting, 28a. to 32a. per qr. • grinding.
26.. per 30 dam. There was • firm feeding a the demand
for oats, and sellers were enabled to make quite late prices ;

higher. Wheat, 28e. to 41a. per qr.; barley, 245. to 31a. 6d. ;
oats, 16e. to 21s. Pd.
Wariaroari, Fin. 13.—This week we must again ob-
i/erre a total absence of foreign arrivals, and our supplies
coastwise, and from the interior, are still on • limited scale.
The uncertain state of political affairs appears to have in-
fluenced markets generally. The trade bre has sot base
so active es on last week, and holders have had to submit to
a slight reduction on some articles. Wheat. Irish dull at
last quotations. Foreige quiet, and the turn lower. Barley,
not much demand at late rates. Oats, more offering, but
