COTTON G00L43.-51n2scnzersa, FEB. 21.—The busi-
ness doing during the past week has been of • limited cha-
racter, but a rather better feeling prevails at the close
owing to some rather large purchases of shirting, and other
cloths, which it is believed have been the result of a con-
sumptive demand, and have not been taken as a mere specu-
lation. The large quantities of cloth taken during the past
six or seven months, it is found, to a great extent, still re-
main piled up in warehouses here, the buyers who invested
in them having found no encouragement to ship them to
any quarter. Stocks of cloth are consequently still large,
while it is believed that the production of the mills yet at
wqrk is more than equal to the present requirements of all
markets, home and foreign. There in, however, a feeling
of rather more confidence in the market than last
weak, and sellers generally show much firmness,
though some few manufacturers display an anxiety to sell,
indicative of a little weakness. The advice. to 'hand this
week from Calcutta have led to some purchases in mule yarn
for shipment. In one instance i► is mentioned that • spinner
of 40'. mule haa obtained a contract which extends to three
months' production. Some purchases of yarn have also
been made for the Mediterranean. On the whole, however,
the market for yarns, as well as cloths, continues languid,
and to those who have mills running the badness offering is
mostly at prices which are very discouraging. Manufactu-
res whose mills are closed say they have watched with
much anxiety to seen chance of reopening with • prospect
of even lessening the for they suffer by allowing their
machinery to stand idle, but to no purpose ; and some of
these are men whose mills are of recent construction,
with the very beet and most improved machinery
to be found in the district. It is difficult to
quote prices, but • good quality of 84. lb. 40
inch shirting", 16 by 15, bad been sold at 16a. 6d
per piece, but there have beep sales of the same description
of cloth of other melee at 13s. 6d. The following are
prices at which cloths might have been bought this morn-
ing 60 yard printers of 101 be, at, per piece,
225. 6d. ; 71b. 39-inch shirting', 14 by 13, at 13s. &I. ; 71b.
T cloths at 12s. 6d. per piece ; and 2'3-inch long cloths (32
yards) 23d. per lb.

WOOLLEN.—Lrzns, Fcs, 2L —The markets this morn-
ing ware tolerably well attended, but the agg ga trans-
actions were not large. A few good =shoos,
chiefly in low qualities, together with a sprinkling of light
tweeds and diagonals, changed hands, but with these exce
tions little was done. Rates remain pretty firm, though,
from the increasing stocks in manufacturers' hands, &decline
may be anticipated.

HARDWARE—BirmiNcrixii. Fee. 21.—Trade here baa
improved since our lad report ; this arises out of increased
orders from the country, in the foreign department busioess
being much the same es it has been for the last month. The
factors' orders are however much better, and in all the prin-
cipal branches of our trades there is increased animation.
The improvement which bas taken place appears to hays
extended Resit to all those branches in which the slackness
has been 'most felt. The electro-platers are better supplied
with orders ; a similar remark applies to the jewellery and
to some other of the fancy trades. The reports are also
more favourable from the brass-founders; there ie.& good
deal doing in the way of devices for use on the occasion of
the illumination to take place at the marriage of the Prince
of Wales ; orders are coming in from all quarters on that
account, and as this mode of celebration appears likely to
be very generally adopted, the demand for the necessary
materials will necessarily be very great. Already the men
are working overtime at some of the manufactories : much
larger orders may be expected next week, and the difficulty
will in all probability be to supply the demand. The iron
trade in this district continues steady; all the works at which
the best brands of finished iron are produced are in full
operation.

CORN.—Cantimnon, FEB. 21.—We bad a heavy, dow-
ning market for all corn, without any material thane in
price. Wheat, 40s. to 50s. ; barley, 32a. to 404. ; beans,
3,45. to tOs. ; oats, 20a. to 265.

CARLuns, FIB. 21.—There wane fair supply of all kinds of
grain at our market to-day. Wheat met a very dull demand
at last week's moss, notwithstanding that the condition

at a slight reduction. Barley, beau, and pews firm.

GUILDFORD, 21.-The supply of wheat to-day was

lIIRTFORD, FIB. 21.-An average supply of grain. 14 heat

Islamist, FEB. 21.-The show of wheat from the
farmers was moderate, and consisted of red and white de-
scriptions. The young wheat plant is generally looking well
in this county. Bales proceeded quietly to-day, and prices
were hardly eo high U -heretofore. New white moved off at
48a. to 545. ; old, 68s. to 60s. ; new red. 46e. to 50s. ; old,
525. to Mn. per 36 stone. There was only a moderate show
of barley, the demand for which was firm &Oats currencies ;
malting, 345. to 38s. per qr. ; grinding, 275. to 30s. par 30
stone. Of oats the supply was limited, and business was
transacted steadily at former quotations ; old, 27e. to 30., ;
new, 21s. to 24a. per 24 done,
Newcarrii-urox-Tvea. FIE. 21.-At our market this
morning we had more wheat shown by our growers, and,
notwithstanding its improved oondition, a clearance could
only be effected by submitting to a radiation of la, per qr.
In south country or foreign so few trusesotious occurred
that our quotations may only be considered nominal, lii-
conditioned parcels were without the slightest demand.
Floor met little attention, our extreme currency being only
procured in retail. Malting barley was la little favour ;
still, however, late rates were acquired in the limited but.
