MARKETS.

TALLOW.—TUMMAT EVI3IIIIO. -n. market was quiet
today. Spot, 49e. 6d.; Ninth, 43e. od. ; April to June,
44■. ; October to December, 46e. 6d. Delivery to last
evening, 196 auks; arrivals, 432 maks.

COlTON.—LiviarooL, Yawl 3.—We have little busi-
ness here to-day, with irregular prime. The sales are 2,000
bales, including 250 American, 19d. to 21d. ; 1,660 Sun*
lOid. to 16d. ; 70 Eaptian, 19d. to 20d. ; 20 Maranham,
hia2ld. •of w 1,000 are for speculation and export. The
week, import is 15,648 bales.

COTTON GOODS.—Matenttrit, listen 3.—There
has been very little business in yarns, except for CA twist,
which is in good demand for Calcutta. Another descriptions
of yarn aredinicult of sale and d,ooping in price. The main
caused this isthe exceedingly &premised state of the Liverpool
cotton market, in which the stock in band, added to what
isms the way, is upwards of 700,000 bales, or equal to forty-
four weeks' supply at the present rate of consumption in our
mills. The prices of cotton at Liverpool are consequently
very irregular, Egyptian and Brazilian being Id. per lb. lees
since Friday. and other descriptions id. per lb., with the
prospect of rates going still lower. But for this elate of
things it is thought we should have more Misio,ss in yarns,
as there are known to be a goal many orders held. but which
Ivilders are keeping back till the market gives greater
midterm of steadiness. The telegrams from India
are also better, and give hopes of more Imitates.
The cloth market is quite as dull and inanimate as that
for yarns. Prices ere nominally the same en last week, but
practically they are in favour of the buyer, this branch of
the trade being acted upon like the other by the drooping
state of the cotton market, which it is expected will ge still
lower. There is very little doing in Roy kind of cloth. !
Printing cloths an osesiderably lower to-day to effect sales, !
end for shirtinp also sellers would have to make a mores-
skin, but in reality it is difficult to get offers. The accounts
from Calcutta are to the 12th. and from Bombay to the I:ith
February, and a telegram is spoken of as late as the 16th.
These advices speak of a more active market for Manchester
gouda, and especially for cotton yam. Such remouuta under
other circurnetanom might have led to business, but in the
abeam@ of the Americas mail, buyers keep out of the
market, mid prices, except for the lighter fabrics for India,
are ctreepierg. One moos assigned for mom operatives
having goo* to work wilds the LA two =oaths is

I that the small manufaetmets, who have to buy the,
yarn, have been maxima to get their cloth into the
market to get advances upon them. The fact, how.
ever, that ageots have lower advances from the usual rate
of 75 to 50 par cent. points to a probability that this mouse
for increased activity will soon be at an end, and men
whose axperienes entitles their opinions to respect lay that in
a short tone we shall have mills KIM to 'meter extent er.•
than at the wont period et lain year. frs. Du May and
Co., in their Monthly Yeport, dated Saturday, report tLe
price of middling hew Orlea all cotton at 3d. per lb. leg
than on the Ist of Jaauary ; yarns at Id. to Id, per lb.
lower; and pruning cloths and shirting' 6d. per piece lower.
They also stateliest while cotton ia three times the pie. *
was in January, 1861, cotton cloths only realise double the
rates they did at that date. These facto, coupled with cox
report to-day of a further drooping of prima and almost a
suspension of bueiness, are sufficient to place in a Very
strong light the discoaraging position which spinners aid
I manufacturers occupy.

WOOLLEN CLOTH.—Lintro, MARCH 3.—The markets
this morning. through tolerably well attended, were only
quiet ; in the Coloured Hall a few low Meltoes and tweeds
changed hands, but the chief demand appeared to be for
diagonals, in low and medium quabties. The White Hall rna
miry inanimate, only a few white mediums being in request.
Estes still remain pretty firm, owing, no &UK to the
firmness exhibited at the wool Wen

MANUFACTURES. BODDIESPIILD, Dimwit
Buses attending to-day are fully equal to last week ; but
their desire is to purehaes at lei prices, and manufactures
are not disposed to give way, many of them coosideriog
present prices unremtmerative, and the result is a curtail.
meet of business as regards the general market. Some of
the manufacturers are, however, engaged on summer goods
to order, which satiate in keeping the operatives in the dia.
Mitt moderately employed.

WOOLS.—Hurirmasman, MARCH 3. —Only a small ba.
einem in wools has been done during the waek, and to-day's
market was quite flat. An impression prevails that mines
will recede a little, a good portion of last sale's wool being
held over, and now partly Drought forward in the present
mks.

CORN.-Hott., MAECH 3.-At today's market a small
supply of English wheat ; at the opening prices were some-
what lower, but towards the close there was more disposi-
tion for business, and last week's rates were fully main.
tailed. In foreign nothing doing. Barley for malting
rather lower; grinding neglected. Beans and peas dull,
and prime in favour of sellers. Oats quiet, without alter&
Lion in value. The foreign imports last week sre as under:
-Wheat, 8,397 qrs. • barley, 11,150; oda 126 ; beans,
7,010 ; peas, ; tares, 85 ; linseed, 21,649 ; rapeseed, 124 ;
oil cakes, 11. tons ; bones, 794.
Lune, Mellen 3.-For really choice samples of both red
and white wheat factors ask mast week's rates, but millers
will not buy except at some concession ordinary qualities
axe offered on lower terms. Not much pawing in barley,
value as before. Beans, oats, and other article' also un-
altered from last week. P.S.-There will be no cora
market at Leeds on the 10th instant, and the Exchange will
be closed till the Tuesday following.
LIVZRPOOL, Mesa( 3.-We have had only a very
small attendance of buyers at this day's market, and the
decline reported in Mark-lane yesterday exercised a very
depressing influence amongst millers ' • holders of wheat,
however, would not submit to a greater decline than Id. per
motel, and only a very moderate business resulted. Flour
was uosaleable at a reduction of 6cl. per barrel and sack.
Indian corn had only a very limited inquiry, and being
offered freely, all descriptions gave way from 6d. to 9d. per
Larntz. Oats and oatmeal nominally unchanged in Tales.
peas, and barley are each down Gd. per quarter. The
market closes at its worst point.
Lynx, ItAscH 3.-Weather since this day week has been
Ins az..d spring like. At our Corn Exchange this day we
had a slow demand for wheat, sod prices must be noted Is.
per qr. lower. Spring corn value unaltered. Per quarter

NIWCASTLI.OPON.TTNI, MARCH 3.—The weather is
beautifully floe and mild, in fact, far too mild for the season.
At our market this morning we bad • moderate show of
wheat from the growers, and although the arrivals are also
trifling the very depressed report from blark.lane neverthe-
less caused great datums to prevail, and where roma
required clearing a further coooession of 6d. to Is. per qr..
according to circumstances occurred. For very 6043 Suffolk
red, 475. per 504 the. could not be exceeded? nor 50s. for
white, the latter with a chance sprout. Foreign commanded
very little attention, the only sale reported was of some
choice old Silerian white, at 5.5 e. per 5041b5., other descrip-
tions being neglected. Flour in very slow request. 335.
being an extreme quotation for Norfolk households and
35e. sod 36.. for whites. Barley still tending downwards.
In other articles we have scarcely any variation to note.
BactaßUlT, Mallen 3. —The atteedanee today MY good,
and the supply of grain was large. Business in wheat was
slow, at a decline of fully la. per qr. The prices of flour
were unaltered. There wee a good rnquiry for barley of beet
sample', which sold for a little more mosey, but inferior
sample* maintained former rates. Nall sold at last market's
prices, whilst other grain remained nominally unaltered.
Wheat, 38s. to 52a. Barley, 25.. to 425. 6d. Oats, 2.21.
to 28a. Beene, 42e. to 50s. Pees, 38e. to 40s. Rye, 30s.
to 38a. per qr. Flour, 365. to 41,. per sack. Malt, 64. to
66e. per qr.

CATTLE.-BALUIBUBT, MARCH 3.—Our market to-day
was very shortly supplied with beasts, the time of year con-
sklered, and the quality and condition very meagre. The
attendance was also limited, and the trade altogether wee
slack ; but for the better animals enhanced prices were
given. The number of sheep on offer was extremely small,
particularly the best Downs, and there being a good in-
quiry, every description of animal was disposed of, Downs
realising quite 9d. per lb. We had • large increase in
the supply of (calves, which found a good side. In the pi
market there was a good number of every description, and
the trade was more active at little better pncea
