MARKETS.

COTTON.—Livsnroot., June 24.—Our cotton market
closes firmly to-day ; prices of all kinds being s•eallily
maintained. The .lay's sales amount to 6,000 hales, of
which spec alatars hase take n 1.000 and t xvortt rs Ita!,
The gnat bulk are American; the remedied, r meta& 400
Penzam. and Maranham, at thl. to 61d. ; 300 Egyptian, at
tetil. to Ild. ; and r,OO Surats, at 31d. to 40. The imports
since Thursday are 7.5,000 hales.
MANCIIICWICIL JUNK 24.—We have had rather more
animation in the market, and prices arc somewhat steady.
but the rates for low yarns are not q. ite so well maintained
an those in chilli'. The greater activity in the print market,
which is kceping printers much better employed than they
have been for sumo considerable time, with greater en-
couragement to produce cow styles, has had the effect of
increasing the demand tor cloth. In printing cloth there is
a large business for all kinds of & widths (except in 72-reed
kine's), and prices are very firm. A fair demand lately for
mueluppolams fur Brazil, has also imparted great liminess
these goods. Fur :12.iacb 60 recd, and for 36-inch
60 and 724ced there is an active demand, and also for
the narrow kinds generally prices are firm. Low '1 cloths are
study. The better demand for deentesties, for the home
trade, end fur the Brazils, renders them worse to buy, and
the slight improvement rem idly obtaated is lx ginning to be
better established. Low samples of yarn are still rather
drooping, but other kinds are steady. It is thought that
the prices of cotton will hardly go higher, inasmuch as
apinners have lately taken rare to supply thernactves well.
A large Manchester house estimates the stock its the hands'
of the trade at not much lest than a quarter of •
million bales. If this should be the vase, and prices are
kept steadier than they have been in this market, we may
look fur a good business, although this is usually a very
dull period of the year. For June, an unusual amount of
business has been done so far, though in noticing the market
from day to day, and week to week, and speaking of it
comparatively, we are apt to Mae sight of this feature in it.

HOSIERY AND LACE TRADES.—Norrtmonms,
Jots 2.l.—There has been a little mute activity in business
+ince our last, caused by a taw partial foreign orders
fur both Lace and hosiery; but this has been so con-
fined to a few houses that their (filet has nut been gene-
rally felt. The buyers from America this year appear
more numerous iu the warehouses than heretofore ; yet, on
the whole, wo do not find that a larger amount of business
is done. The German businew, the uh-enee of which is au
much felt this year in consequence of the great misery of
the hulk of that people, OCC.I 3333 .1 by the failure of the
loot harvest, will probably soon be right, us wo hear there is
a prospect of an early and abundant one this year, which
will prove a great blessing to them and advantage to us,
especially to the lure trade, awl more particularly to that
portion of it now most depressed. The price of yarn re-
lush)* much the same, at present with an upward tendency.

WOOL.—•Btutoro*D, June 24.—The activity and spirit
manifested by buyers for French account throughout the
district of Kent, and also in Ireland, have given an unnatu-
ral degree of firmness, and caused prices to advance a ,point
that cannot he followed for this market; indeed throughout
all the wool-growing districts speculation has manifested
itself in an unparalleled extent, and the buyers for this
market find it requisite to make a stand ; for to buy at the
prices now sought would incur a certain loss. The transac-
tions throughout the week have been marked with an unu•
sual degree of caution, and with the exception oC very fine
aorta in down tcg wools, hut little bus changed hand•, for
the spinner. are utialA to give anything like the prices
sought in the country. Notts and brakes are unaltered,
and the supply limited.
BEIII.IN.—The official report of the Berlin wool fair,
which began on the Ifitit, states that the whole quantity
of wool b ought in for sale was 90,000 centners, nearly
20,000 centners more than the quantity offered in
the fair of last year. All the fine and middle qua-
lities of wool sold well at advanced prices, from 60
to 90 thalers per centoer being realised, or from 3 to 5
thalers more than loot year's rates. For the inferior qua-
lities tin re was but little demand. The report adds that
there was less speculation than usual, the porehases being
mode for the most part directly by the consumers or their
immediate agents.

MANUFACTURES.-11nAntonn, June 24.—Yarns:
The period is again at hand when contracts for nest month
are to be made, and the feeling towards any further ad-
♦ance is anything but satisfactory. The shipping houses
complain, and any that they cannot make a profit on old
purchases, and to buy at still higher prices they are decidedly
hostile. The production'of Yarns in not beyond the wants
of the trade, and if the shipping houses begin to give out
orders, higher prices must follow, for the present rates are
ruinous to the spinners. Pieces : The manufacturers gene-
rally are working to order. It iv quite impossible on any
class of goody to make a profit, and in many instances losses
arc submitted to. This is a bad state of things, especially
at this season of the year.

CORN.-BIIIMINGIIAM, Jussi 24.-At Gloucester mar-
ket, on the 19th, a large business was done in wheat, at
rather over the currency of that day se'nnight. At Worces-
ter, same day, the trade ruled dull, and no advance could
be obtained on any description. Barley, beans, and peas,
all scarce and rather dearer. Oats, the turn cheaper, but we
had more demand. During the present week we have again
hail heavy rain, and a good deal of wheat has changed
hands, at an improvement of Is. per quarter. Barley, Gd.
per quarter dearer. More doing in oats at former prices.
Beaus and peas both scarce. At Wolverhampton yesterday,
although the wheat trade was by no means brisk, Is. per
quarter rise was realised, At this day's market there was
a large supply of wheat, for which much higher prices were
asked ; but the trade closed dull, at little over the prices of
this day week, and we make no alteration in our quota-
tiims. Barley, Gil. per quarter dearer. Oats maintained
their value. Beans and btu, both Is. per quarter higher.

BRISTOL, JUNE 21.-Much rain has fallen since our last ;
yesterday and to-day, however, are more tine and warm.
In this and the Wiltshire markets an advance of Is. to 2s.
per quarter has been paid on English wheats, and on good
foreign from Gd. to Is. per quarter. Flour has brought an
advance of irons 64. to Is. per sack. Barley steady in de-

New BrRY, Juno 24.-Although we had a short supply
of Wheat, the alteration in the weather caused the trade to
rule dull, at last week's prices. Barley maintained late
rates. Oats were dull, but Beans and Peas were fully 2s.
per qr. dearer.
Waxteroun, June 23. - The weather continues very
showery and unsettled. Stocks of grain are small, and the
weekly arrivals are scarcely equal to the consumption. Our
market is, therefore, firm for every article, at the prices of
last week.
EniNtiettott, Juno 23.-There was a good supply of
grain in the market to-day. The sale of Wheat was very
heavy, notwithstanding which a good clearance was effected,
at about hat week's prices. Barley, Oats, and Beans were
extremely dull, and particularly so for Oats. Wheat, 265. to
465. Barley, 265. to 31s. 64'1. Oats, 18s. 8.1. to 245. Beans,
335. to 355.
GLASGOW, Jane 23.-We had heavy thunder showers the
end of the week, and on Monday the weather was hot and
forcing. Yesterday was unsettled-this morning is line
with a rising barometer. The crops coutinue to wear a
promising appearance, and Wheat is bursting into car in
this locality, about ten days earlier than last season, which
et that time threatened to be late. At this day's market
there was a fair inquiry for Wheat, and good qualities were
tenaciously held for full prices, which limited business.
Sweet American Flour was in request at higher rates, and
extra superfine Irish was saleable on quite as good terms.
Oats were rather cheaper. Oatmeal neglected. Barley and
Beans steady in value, and in fair demand.

CATTLE, itc.—Nywaitx, June 23.—A moderate at-
tendance, and the supply of stock wax not very large.
There was, however, a fair quantity of business done.
There were 107 Sheep, 231 Beasts, 111111 199 Pigs penned.
Sm.rottn, June 23.—We have to report an average sup-
ply of Beasts, Sheep, and Lambs, and for the season the !,
quality was good, which found ready buyers at the full
rates of last week, little being unsold at the close.
WA KIWIELD, June 23.—At to-day's market we were
well supplied with Beasts and Sheep of an excellent quality.
There was a good attendance of buyers, and trade ruled
rather dull at the commi ucement of the business, but, as
the day advanced, all the stock changed hands at the fol-
lowing rates: —Beet', fie. per stone of 141 b. ; Mutton, 34. to
atil. per lb.; Lamb, exl. There was a very large show of
Pigs, and it limited show of lean stock. Number of Beasts,
870; Sheep and Lambs, 7,000.
Eiit Nur non, June 23.--The number of Cattle this morn-
ing wax 513, being 20'2 less than last week. Demand good,
and last week's prices maintained. Top price of the best
Beef, 7s. 6d.; current price, from fie. 9d. to 75.; inferior
sorts, from as. tid. to 61. per Dutch stone. At the c'cisc of
the market a good clearance was effected. The supply of
Sheep and Lambs this morning was 3,633, being 563 more
than last week. Demand good. Top price of the last
Mutton, aid. ; hoggs, 41d. to 5.1. per lb. Top price of
Lambs, 21s. a-head ; current price of the best sorts front
lea. to 18a. ; middling and inferior aorta, from Ils. to 15s.
per head. At the close of the market a clearance was effected,
