MARKET&

COI7ON

MANCHINII, Fn. 24.—The yarn market has been very
flat, and we have merely had any ruiner for anLqusetee.
In some eases prier have been rather easier. Than his
been • trilling hamdry for some kinds of mule yams foe
but the prisms offered have been yen low, and it ban
led to very little Weiner The debases, in fact, alrmt
113•01121• to • suspension of business. A report is in &cu.
laden that the last mail reamer from America brought sa
answer berths government of France to the Emperor's offer
at medfattea, in which Mr. Secretary Seward rejects alto
=ebb propositions made us the despatch sent to F.
. As an instance of the strong feeling which prevails
here as to the probable long duration of the struggle is
Amara, Me stated that a spinner here declared his intentir,
in addition to closing his two mills, to sell off his horses red
carriages, break up his household establishment, and go into
lodes's, to live as economically as passible untll there is a
=of a better supply of cotton, and of renumine
with some chance of a rofit. lie is east
to have declared that be could not use neat cotton for the
dass of yarn to which his machinery is adapted. The bust
nen in cloth to-day has been quite as flat as that it
yarns. Sines Saturday there has been a rather better feeling,
with some inquiry, but it hoe sot led to business, and the
stagnation has immured day by day. Any sales forced on the
market this morning must neoeswirily have taken place at
prior favourable to the buyer. It was hoped that the recent
@dram from India would lead to some improvement, but they
seem to have bad little effect beyond the sales mentioned is
Friday's report, and even these tun out not to have been
for shipment, bat with • view to held as, a 9oculation.
What tranasations are re ported are reined to mothers
el a few hundred pieces of standard makes for asserted orders,
end ter which there're presides ordenwithout limit's to rice.
The kid stock of cotton at Liverpool eerier retire
large compared with the primer rate of demand. At the
close al bet week it was 415,000 bales, or equal to about 26
weeks' orsumption at 16,000 bales per week. The quantity
at sea (Fast Indian) was 182,000 bales, against 140,000 at
the same time bid year. Leas than 20 weeks' supply or
emuidered good when the production was folly equal to the
whole consuming power al the country, and many of our
spinner thank the present stock should keep prices at
Liverpool more in check. It is evident that COLICIDIr• are
buying very moderately at the present high rata*, sad many
people think it is equally clear that with the heavy stone
of goods still on hand, the out-turn of the mills yet working
is larger than will find its way into consumption at the
present high range of prior. An illustration of the way is
which dear calico is stimulating the trade in woollen
fabrics (to say nothing of linen, silk, and mixed goods) has
transpired in • local circumstance of some novelty. It has
been long • custom (more peculiar to laracsabire and York.
shire perhaps than to many other counties) to staff beds
with woollen Socks instead of feathers. In times what
wool has been plentiful and cheap, it has no doubt occurred
that wool of • very fair quality has been used for this
=and the fact referred to above is, that of late
driers have been industriously engaged in hunting
up woollen-flock beds, and either buying them from the
amen, or giving a sum of money to he allowed to take out
these flocks, and substitute for Ahem cotton flocks, or some
other material of ler value.

OOTTON.—LEwilsom., Fm 24.—Oar market is quiet
to-day, with little business doing at prekious prices. The

are for speculation and export. The week's import is
12,136 bales.

WOOLLEN CLOTHE—Lune, Fix 24.—The markets
thim morning were greatly interfered with by the darkness
of the weather. The attendance of buyers was pretty good
in the coloured hall, and a few small lots of spring meltons,
tweeds, and diagonals were cleared out, but the demand foe
plain goods was inactive. The white hall was very quiet.
Bates continue firm.

TALLOW. TONSDAT E,lllllo.—The market was
t 2, to-day, at the following prices :—Spot, 44.. 3d.
445. 3cL ; April to June, 44a. 6d. ; October to
December, 475. Dalry to last evening, 173 casks ;
vale, none.

MANUFACTURES. —HUDDIIIMPM.D, Fin. 24. —A
moderate attendance of buyers Ina bean in the market,
but their transactions were so limited to email parcels that
the aggregate amount of heehaws turned over bas not
reached an average amount of sales. Spring and summer
goods were less in demand, and the .on is yet too early
for autumn, which may account for the dulneas.

WOOLS.—HUDOUSTEELD, FEB. 24.—A few parcels
have changed hands during the week at the usual prices.
but to-day's market has been quite flat, manufacturers
generally waiting for sales commencing in London on Thum•
day next.

COBI4.—IfoLL, Fes. 24.—At to-day's market a good
supply of English wheat, which sells slowly at a decline of
fully is. per quarter on the best samples, whilst secondary
sorts are to 21. per quarter cheaper. Forage quite
neglected. Barley for malting fully as dear ; grinding slow
sale at prices in favour of buyers. Beau and peas an.
altered. Oats dull, and demand quite retail. The foreign
imports last week are as under : Wheat, 620 „.qrs. • barley,
3,568 ; beans, 2,947 ; peas, 146 ; tares, 172 ; linseed, 3,863 ;
oil cakes. 51 tons.
LEE" Frs. 24.—We have very little inquiry to
wheat to-day, but holders do not seem disposed to take
lower prices thou on Friday. Barley unaltered ; the same
may be written of beans and other articles, and demand in
each only to a small extent.

Idvzericr., Fan. 24.—We have bad a fair attendance of
the trade at this day's market, but the decline established
in Yank-lace yesterday induced very great caution amongst
buyers, and only a retail balsam resulted in wheat at a re-
duetiou of Id. per orital oa Friday's rates, Flour very dull.
and quotatioss in great me are nominaL Indian corn had •
small consumptive inquiry at previous rates. Oats and oat-
meal unchanged. Beane gave way 3d. per quarter. Peas
and barley steady at late quotations. The market doses as
it ruled throughout, dull in the extreme, and one or two
forced sales of winter wheat are reported at Id. below our
lowest quotations.
LYNN, FIB. 24.—The weather has been variable since
this day week, with south and south-west winds. At oar
' Cora Exchange this day there was a good attendance of
growers, and a good show of wheat ; the dryest samples
could not be obtained for lees money, but anything want.
log condition was la. per qr. cheaper. Barley, supply
limited, and prices without alteration. Beane and pm;
prices firm. Per quarter imperial to the grower :—Wheat,

NIWCASTLZ-UPON-TTNE, FEB. 24.—The weather con-
tinues open, sad the accounts speak very favourably of the
appearance of the wheat plant At our market this morn-
*, we had a moderate show of wheat from the grower',
bat owing to the discouraging account from Mark- lane the
trade opened slhly, and very few transactions resulted.
although our millers could have supplied themselves at •
reduction of Is. per qr. Very good Lincolnshire red was
offered at 48s. per 5041ba. without commandiug attention.
Flour must be written L. per sack cheaper, and in very
moderate request. 3faltiag barley kited few buyers.
Grinding difficult to quit. In other articles we have little
variation to note.
