MARKETS.

COTTON.—Lwannocm, JAW. 18.—The market closed
with an upward tendency. Prices of Burets and of Ameri-
cans under 50. per lb., are id. higher, but other descrip-
tions are unchanged. The market is biro of choice in the
current qualities of Americans, and purchases have been
curtailed in consequence. The Wee reach 10,000 bales,
comprising 6,000 Americana (1,000 of which have been
taken on speculation) ; 110 Pernam and Maranham,
to 6p. ; 400 Bahia, 64.; 500 Egyptian, 514. to 91d.; 3,000
Surat, Sid. to 40. par lb. (2,000 on speculation).

COTTON GOODEC—Matectiorrsn, lAN. 18.—We have
rather a firmer feeling in cloth and yarn, in consequence of
cotton being rather higher, but then is no improvement in
business. The turn of prices usually brings some of the
buyers into the market who have been holding off, but, on
this occasion, it had no effect, probably owing to the disquiet
produced by the recant large failures, which will be felt by
some of the Manchl ster houses, bat only by concerns, it
is believed, well able to bear the loss.

CORN.—Butuirectuur, Jut. 18.—At Gloucester and
Worcester markets, on the 13th, wheat was 3s. to 41. per
quarter lower, bat holders would not generally submit to
the reduction. Barley ls. per quarter cheaper. Oats main-
tained their value, and grey were scarce. Buss and peas
both tending downwards. Daring the present week, very
few transactions in wheat are reported. Barley very diffi-
cult to trait. We have rather more doing in eats at a de-
cline of 6d. to ls. per quarter on white. Beans only taken
in retail, and although the weather has become very cold,
we have no demand for peas. At Wolverhampton, yester-
day, the supply of wheat was limited, and Gillen reluctantly
accepted la. to 2s. per quarter less money. At this day's
market there was a good supply of wheat, which was
cleared off at an advance of ls. to 2s. per quarter. Barley
maintained its value. Oats rather cheaper. Beans and peas
both very unsaleable.
Damns, Jaw. 18.—We bed a good supply of wheat.
which met a very brisk sale at an advance of from 2a. to 35.,
and in some instances of 41. per quarter above last week's
prices; an early clearance was made. Barley was in good
supply, and sold freely at fully last week's prices. In oats,
beans, and peas, no alteration. Wheat, ben red, 73e. to
765. ; middling, 645. to 73a. • inferior, 63a. to 64e. • barley,
31s. to 38s. ; oats, 28s. te 365. ' • beans, 4841. to 60 ; peas,
38s. to 481. ; flour, fine, 641. to 584. per auk ; seconds, 61s.

Mawcanarita, JAN. 18.-The depression which existed
in the trade last week continued unrelieved until the pest
day or two, sales being impracticable, except to a very
limited extent at low and irregular rates. Yesterday, how-
ever, with a change is the weather to sharp frost, and many
of the dealers and bakers having become bare of stock, an
improved feeling was manifested as regards flour, that
article being taken more freely at prices which were not
previously obtainable. In other articles no change has been
obeervable. The imports into Liverpool are only on a
moderate scale from all quarters, the only arrivals of
moment being about 8,000 sacks of Spanish dour. At our
market this morning there wss a good attendance, and a
Isteady consumptive demand was experienced for wheat and
flour at prices rather exceeding the quotations of this day
se'nnight. Oats and oatmeal sold slowly at a reduction of
Id. per 451bs. and 64. per load respectively. Beans were in
letter request at a decline of ls. per qr., and barley must
eke le noted at Is. per qr. lower.
',SWAM(' JAN. 17.-At our market to-day business
was more active than last week. The attendance was mo-
derately numerous, with a proportionate supply of grain.
For wheat there was a fair demand, and a good business

to 335. ; oats, 31s. to 345. ; beans, 50s. to 61s. per qr.
NEWBURY, JAN. 18.-We have a considerable supply of
wheat on offer, and buyers having partially recovered from
the late panic, there was a steady sale at an advance of fully
2s. per qr. The supply of barley was huge and barely sup-
ported the prices of last week. Oats, beans, and peas, with-
out change.
UXBILIDOS, JAN. 18.-The corn trade is more active to-
day than last week bat not advanced in value. The supply

265. to 325. Beans, 445. to 625. Peas, 40s. to 62e. per qr.
WATERFORD JAN. 17.-Influenced by the discouraging
WISMISW from London, our market to-day was very mum
depressed for all articles of the trade, and though holders
generally would have submitted to lower prices, hardly any
business occurred.

995 qrs. wheat, 1,838 qrs. barley, 1,123 qrs. oats, and 242

68} lb.
OLasoow, Jaw. 17.-The trade bas remained during
the week in the same inactive position noticed in my
lest, and in absence of actual business on this day's market,
luices are merely nominal, but holders would willingly have
lexceeded to a redaction of Is. to 2s. on wheat
participates Ruse we
less in the depression, and there were no wholesale trauma-
tiring reported.

WRECK OF THE BRIO DANIEL, OF ANTWERP.—
it letter has been received at the Marine Department of the
Board of Trade, dated Paignton, communicating the loos of
the Belgian brig Daniel, of Antwerp, from Flushing for
Constantinople, with a g 1 cargo, off Paigntos. The
captain says that he mistook the Start Light for that of a
vessel, and did not discover hie mistake until she wee broad-
side on to the beach, close to the Tonnes watchhouse.
She was discovered by the coast-guard at midnight ma the
13th inst. The crew, 11 in ember, were saved. All
approach for the purpose of getting scything out of her wee
entirely out off; a strong wind was blowing at the time. A
more sztraordinary wreck possibly never occurred. The
last light the captain saw before was Beach y Head, bat the
master thought the Start must have been t•Olaksek_osi
afterwards took it for a ship's light ; he was slagelog W. by
N. They were all perfeetly sober, and the WISI woe es
fair as it mold blow. The espial: had two tenpn= OR
board la good woke.
