MARKETS.

COTTON.—LIVEarooL, JUNE 30.—The sales of cotton
to-day ore estimated at 6,000 bales, about 500 being taken
for export, and an equal number on speculation. They in-
elude 200 Perna= and Maranham, at 01) to 71d.; 100
Egyptian, at Bid. to Sd. ' • and 1,500 Surats, at 31d. to Sp.
The imports sines Thursday are 30,000 bales. The market
deem steadily but tamely, and with apparent heavineu.
Prieto of American are little If at all changed from the rates
of Friday; the tendency, however, is in favour of the buyer;
all other kinds are unaltered.

WOOL—Leenagoot, July I.—The Wool market
throughout last mouth has experienced great firmness, and
limited imports of various descriptions, together with in-
creasing consumption, has induced holders to ask higher
prices; in some instances the purchasers have bought at the
advance, both for immediate use, and for arrival. General
complaint is manifested iu the manufacturing districts at
the present value of the raw material, because the advance
attainable on yarns and piece goods is not proportionate,
and leaves no margin for the consumer; time alone can re-
gulate the discrepancy, and it rests chiefly in the hands of
the manufacturer mete whether he plays a losing game or
not, in the present position of affairs. On the eve of a disso-
lution of parliament, when political agitation occupies
11 more or less the attention of all, it is generally observed
that a falling off arises in the demand ; up to this period
I no alteration is noticeable, and the limited business we have
ocean from short supply, and not the want of purchasers.
To speak of future prospects, a mystery is always involved,
but judging from immediate indications, such as scarcity of
moat kinds, and no likelihood of imports of say magnitude
to make stock, we may fairly assume. as long as ma-
chinery is kept working, and tranquility remains with
European powers, that prices will go still higher, whether
it causes manufacturers to work short time or not. This is
no attempt to write the market up, and whether the
majority give credence or not to this statement, those who
have visited the several ports recently, and have had to re-
turn without buying, from inability to procure their re-
quirements, will of a certainty be convinced of the truism.
Sale' by private treaty have been in long washed
Oporto fleece, and a tew bags Cotta, Peruvian, Buenos
Ayres, Russian for arrival, Turkey, East India, &c., at ex-
treme rates. Good white Egyptian is much wanted, and
no stock. Russian fleece would find buyers at high prices;
sembing grey is also in request. Oporto Wools st the quo-
tations, continue to meet with ready sales, and all kinds of
Mediterranean Wools would find buyers. A parcel of
greasy Oporto fleece has been exported. On the 9th alt.
4,600 boles were offered by auction, 1,800 bales of which
were East India, 70C Buenos Ayres, 700 greasy Peruvian
and Chillan, 34 grey Russian, 200 Egyptian, chiefly colored,
and 1,100 various. The attendance was larger than at the
previous sales, and the competition lively. Fine white East
India sold with spirit, at an advance of id. per lb., as also
good yellow, the lower qualities and grey brought full'
rates ; Buenos Ayres of the Merino class realised lid. per
lh, higher, and other descriptions commanded a proportion-
ate ratio. Scotch; A good business has been done in Che-
viot, white being the most run upon; in white Highland'
nothing offering ; laid Highland has sold freely at a slight
advance, the market of this sort is about cleared, and the
quotations fully supported; a few sales also reported in laid
cross. English and Irish; A few good parcels of combing
fleeces have changed hands at high prices, buyers find a dif-
ficulty in treating with the fanners, who are demanding
exorbitant rates for the present clip, and such is the tena-
city with which they hold, that spinners see no prospect of
doing any good ; nothing particular to report in skin wools.

HOPS.—Woacuma, June 29.—Our reports of the
growing crop continue very unfavoarAble ; part of the dis-
trict appears free from blight, which is daily becoming
more extensive and dangerous to the crop. Market very
firm, and Bops scarce.

CORN.—Bosvon, June 30.—We have been but in-
differently supplied with Wheat to-day, and the demand
being limited, it was s slow sale at Is. per qr. under last
week's rates. Nothing doing in spring corn ; prices nomi-
nally the same. Wheat, red, 39, to 391 ; white, 425. to
43e. per qr.
Brocuros-ox-Tara, June 30.—At market this morning
we had ■ small supply of Wheat from the growers, and hav-
ing a very limited attendance of buyers, the trade ruled
doll at last week's prices. Beans, 6d. to Is. per qr. dearer.
Oats met a steady demand at last week's currency.

CATTLE, dte.—Romeonn, June 30.—We had a full
average quantity of stock at to-day's market, with a dull
