MARKETS.

TALLOW. TCESDAT EVZIRNO. The market wee
steady to-day. Spot, 42e. ; March, 435. • April to June,
43a. 6d. Delivery to last evening, 206 cierla ; no arrivals.

COTTON.—Lrywaroot.. Jaw. s.—The market bu as-
sumed a rather water tone to-day, and, with moderate
mks, prime are unchanged.

COTTON COOLS.—MANctirsigk, Jaw. S.—Our yarn
market has been extremely poet to-day, our export !tier.
chants (buyers pretty generally) making up their minds to
abstain from busi•eu till lower prices are quoted for cotton
in Liverpool. At the prices current for yarn lest Wednes-
day it is believed • rather extensive business would have
been done this morning, but spinners will not listen to such
offers as would have been acceptable then. In some instances
spinners have shown • willingues to take about id. per lb.
leas than yesterday. One cause of depression to-day has
been adistrust of the telegrams from the Liverpool cotton
market posted in the Exchange to-day, which have reported
the sales at 6,000 bales without change in price, whilst
private telegrams report • business of only 2,1130 to 3,000
bales at Id. per lb. lower. This is not the first time
such discrepancies have occurred, and some blame
is thrown upon the manager of the Exchange for not
securing a more authentic report, which it is said might be
obtained from the cotton brokers' rooms for a trifling extra
cost. The market for home trade yarns partakes of the
quietness observable in that for shipping yarns. Prices are
nominally ld. per lb. higher than last week, but very
little baldness has been offering. Buyers are disposed to
wait and watch the cotton market, the late advances in which
have been so sudden and stealing as to make people ilis-
trustfuL The same resistance to prices seems to have
affected the cloth market to-day. The excitement which
prevailed at the clue of the year seem. to have died away,
and we have had very little inquiry from buyers, and very
few transactions are reported, ruanufactunrs nominally

maintain their quotations it the advance of last Thursday,
but it is believed where sales have beso effected they have
bad to make some concession. It is known that very con-
siderable orders for elotb are still held, but at limits which are
below the quotations current in the early part of last week.
Hence the excitement of last Thursday failed to draw them
upon the market, the Hotness done at the advance of that
day baring been purely of a speculative diameter. Theis
seems to be a firm feeling among manufacturers and bottlers
of cloth generally, notwithstanding the inactivity of the
market, and, with some exceptions. there appears to he a
disposition rather to hold for higher rates than submit to a
reduction.

WOOLLEN.—Lribs, JAN. s.—ln the Coloured-ball
there has been only a very indifferent sort of market ; the
chief demand was for the lighter descriptions of fabrics,
tweeds, and low-prised union mellow. In the White-h All
the business wan =important.

MA NI:Wien:RES. —fIeDDIIMITILD, JAN. 5. —The at-
tendance of buyers from Scotland and the north has been
moderate, but very few from London. Business trouser.
lions have consisted chiefly of heavy seasonable goods
adapted for the present extremely cold weather. The local
merchants are on the look out for new patterns for spring,
but only a few of these have yet appeared is the market.

WOOLS.—HUDDTRAFULD, JAN. s.—There is no im-
proved demand for wools, mannfactaren only buying very
small parcels ; but dealers, in expectation of a good mina;
trade, hold out for full prices.

CORN. —LIVERPOOL, JAN. s.—We have bad a good ab
tendrace of both town aus country millers end dealers at
th!s day's market. and wheat has met a healthy demand
both for consumption and to hold over at an advance of Ad.
per motel on the week. Flour is held for M. per barrel and
sack more money, which rather checks business. Indian
corn is offered freely today, and buyers fighting shy. the
improvement of la. Col. per quarter previously established
is barely maintained. (late are a better sale at late rates,
whilst oatmeal must be quoted is. up. Beans. peas. and
barley have each advanced Is. per qr. The market closes
steady.
LEEDB. JAN. 5. —The wheat trade is quiet to-day.
bat the sales effected are at prices a little in &dream of
Friday's currency. Fine barley as dear, other sorts remain
oo hand. Beane inquired far. Oats and other articles as
before.

Jaw. 5.-To-day's market we bad a fair show of
wheat, which readily sold at folly Is. per qr. advance upon
last Tuesday's rates. Barley, malting sorts, Is. per quarter

NEWCARTLI, JAN. 5. -The weather motions' of a wintry
character, the frost being very intense, and threatens a eta; •
page in the navigation. At our market this marring we had
a moderate show of wheat from the growers, and the arrivals
coastwise being equally so, fresh-threabed samples were taken
off quickly, at an advance of Is. to' a. per qr., south country
qualities being fully Is. per qr. dearer, 46e. having been paid
for extra Suffolk yellow by speculators, whilst for extra
new foreign red the same price was realised. Floor in good
request, and rather dearer. Malting barley, mikes choice,
neglected. In other articles no change of moment.
SALISBURY. JAN. 5.-Today's market was well supplied
with grain, and the atteodanoe of buyers large. The de•
!mod for wheat was correspondingly good, and price. ad-
vanced Is. per qr. Flour 6d. per sack higher. In malting
barley a brisk demand took place, which also sold la. per
qr. dearer ; but in other samples there was no alteration in
price, and trade steady. Malt nominal) y unaltered. A mo-
derate business done in other grain at fair rates. Wheat,

cArrLE Jas. 5.-Our market to-day was
very shortly supplied with bessta, but the attendance of
buyers was tolerably good, end the quality was excellent.
There was a brisk demand for best animals, which sold at
fully late rates, and in other animals the trade was more
dull. but a clearance was nearly effected. The number of
sheep on offer was very limited, particularly best Downs (of
which there were but few pens). The trade was very quick,
and more money was paid. Scarcely any calves wens on
offer, and prices 6rm. The supply of pigs was not
so large as of late, and but little business was trans-
acted, at about former rates. Best beef from Ile. 6d. to
1.2.. fal. per &core ; cow and boiler ditto, 10a. toll.. ; mut•
ton of inferior quality, bid. per lb.; but for the beat
downs 811. to 9d. was paid ; veal, 7d. to 7)d. ; fresh
pork, 7d. to 7 jd. ; and Bs. ad. to 9.. per score ; green bacon,
70. to Bd. per lb. ; dry ditto, Bd. to 9d. ; sweet pickled
hams, 9d. to 10d. ; quarter old store pigs, MX to 128.
