COTTON GOODS.—Miacciivrryn. Pea 20. —This mar-
ket has been rather seriously affected this week by the
large arrival of cotton (42,000 bales), and advice. to the
effect that heavy shipments had been made at Bombay.
The estimated quantity of cotton at sea from India is now
322.000 bales. On Tuesday a good business wee done,
daily in yarns, at the full prices of last week, bat yesterday
and to day prices are decidedly weaker, and may be quoted
about ed. per lb. lower. There seems to be a strong feeling
that the raw material wffl come down in prim sr the year ad-
winces, and Egyptian declined this week id., and Surata Id.
per lb. Cloth is rather scarce in stock, and sales are re-
markably firm for immediate deliveries, but we hear of con-
Crania taken for delivery in April and May at lower prices.

WOOLLEN.—Lane, FEB. 20,—The renewal of cold
weather operates as a check upon the spring trade, and oar
markets this morning were only of a quiet character. A
few raeltons, chiefly low qualities, and tweeds, changed
hands, but the demand for plain goods was inconsiderable.
The White Hall was eery quiet. Rates remain firm.

HARDWARE.—lllawumithx, Fen. 20.—The trade of
this town continues in • satisfactory state. In some few
branches the orders coming in are moderate, but such is
not the awe in any of the most important trades. In the
foreign department boatmen is quiet: to the north of Europe
there is very little doing, and all who are engaged in the
German tradeconcur in representing business as unusually
dull to that quarter. Timm are orders in on account of the
Levant trade • also for Spain. Up to this time there has
besn.very little doing on account;offthe Canadinnyspringtrade,
and with the West Indies business continues depressed.
The Australian trade is tolerably good, and orders have
just been given out on account of some of
the Eastern markets. With reference to particular
trades, the edge-tool makers, hollow ware man acturers,
and tin-plate workers are pretty well off for orders ; for the
elms of goods last-named there are some good contract
orders in. The electro-platers are tolerably well e
and the wiredrawer' and wire-workers are in couch
same position. Upon the whole the trade of this town la in
as prosperous • condition as can at any time be expected.
The iron trade in this district is undonbtedbly quieter ; dur-
ing the last two or three weeks comparatively few orders
have been offered ; COOSILMetI and shippers are holding
back as much as north's in order to get so ides as to the
prospect of the present scale of prices being main-
tained. Up to this time, however, there has been
nothing to lead to the supposition that such
will not be the CYO for the next two or three
months at lest, all the works having amply sufscient
orders to keep them in full operation. In the adjoining
district trade routinize. in • healthy state, the only his-
&robing cause is the continued movements by the men in
various departments of labour for an advance in the wages
scale. Lately the spade and shovel makers have been
agitating that question, but at • meeting of the employers
in this town on Thuredei it was resolved that no advance
on should be made t list price. The colliers whose
wages were recently advanced are now threatening notices
for • further rise of 3d. per day. This kind of agitation has
• bed effect on the teed* of the district generally.

sad barley as last day.

GCTILDFOIU), Fn. 20.-11 u) market was well "applied
with wheat to-day, and a reduction of la per qr. bad to be
made before sales could be effected ; of this decline a fair
business was done. Bsrley, beans, and pees were is large

Lirceirram, Frs. 20. —At our cornlanerket to-day then
was a moderate show of wheat, and the attendanos of
farmer and factors was tolerable. There was a quiet feel-
ing in the trade, and pries were lather lower. New white
may be quoted at 43e. to 465. ; new red, 40s. to 435. per 36
stows. The show of barley was pretty fair, and there was
rather more doing, the rates of last week being generally
maintained ; melting, 32i. to 36a. per ,quarter ; grioding,
263. to 29.. per 30 stone. Ws were by no moms plentiful.

NIWCIUSTLEVPON-TYWR, Fen. 20.—At our market this
morning we had a free delivery of wheat from the growers,
and being in improved condition. a clearance was early
effected at the extreme rates of this day se'inight. in
south country description then. was also more paining, 435.
per 60411i5. being willingly paid for extra new yellows.
Foreign being held beyond the views of burin, had the
effect of checking sales. Flour had rather more tone,
without, however, leading to external's,. transactions, the
dealers being generally understood to hold largely from
their previous purchases. Melting barley unchanged ; the
&mead running ally upon the best mellow heavy qualities.
Nothing doing in grinding. Malt in very moderate request,.
Little stirring in beaus or peas. Oats can scarcely be
written cheaper, but sales are made with difficulty, our
colliery buyers being enabled to get fully supplied by the
farmers in their immediate locality. The arrivals this week
aro :—Wiviat, coastwise, 8,383 gra ; foreign, 620; barley,
coastwise, 2,144 ; malt, coastwise 614 •; oats, ccesteruie,

time of year, and prices remained without alteration.

Ncrrrixonut, Pre. 20.-We had a fair quantity of wheat
on offer at thin day's cora market, and the condition of the
samples wee tolerably good. The demand was slow at
barely late prime. New white aorta may be quoted at 42a.
to 475. ; new red, 4A to 435. ; old whit*, 41.5. to 44e. ; old
red, 38e. to 42a. per 36 stone. There was au average show

buyer. New malting, 30e. to 37.. per quarter; old gried-
lag, Va. to 30a. ; new, 265. to 28e. per 30 stone. The show

011011 D, YeN. 20.-There we a fair supply of wheat

READING, FRB. 20.—This clay there was a very short
supply of all kinds of grain at market. Trade was dull,
and wins nominally the same for both wheat and barley.

IitOCRIOTIN, Fee. 20.—There was a very fair atten.
dance of the town and country trade at this corn ea-
change, the stands at which were moderately furniohed
with the various descriptions of grails. Best kinds of wheat
experisaised a quiet deniatid, and were tam off at about
former figures, but other kinds were almost entirely neg.
Jested, although offered at about Is. per quarter less money.
For the kinds of white the terms ware 445. to 475., sad
red 40s. to 425. per quarter ; secondary and inferior white
41e. to 445.. and red 37a. to 40.. per quarter of 621ba. to the

chisfiy of a retail c . In barley there was a quiet
trade doing, the operations being confined chiefly to malting
descriptions, for which late rates were obtained, beet malt-
ing making 35e. to 395., and grinding 26e. to 291. per
quarter. Prime oat. were in demand at late figures, mid
abet lots fetched 22a. to 244. per quarter, inferior kinds

of. Oats

new red, Ms. to 40s. per 36 stone. The barley trade
proved firm. and sellers were enabled to make prices
equal to those of the week preceding ; malting, 28e. to :325.

WATERFORD, FEB. 20.—Supplies of home-grown gni:,
continue on a limited scale, and from fore* only one
cargo of wheat has reached us. Our market stases in the
pnerally depended state of the trade. We have to oote a
limited inquiry, and for most articles less money would be
taken. Wheat; Irish more looked after; fore' in small
demand, and rather cheaper. Barley dull, sad oats are
lower by Id. to 2d. per barrel. Indian corn : the tendency
