WOOLLEN.—LEEDS, APRIL I.—The month hes opened
withanother •ay quiet market ; there were few tniumetioas
in either bell ; the small demand there being chiefly for
meltons and tweeds in low qualities ; a few better tweeds
also changed hands. The White Hall was very quiet.

MANUFACTURES.—BUDDIESFIELD, Amu L 1 —Thonh
a moderate number of buyers have been in the market, the
amount of bulimia done is bolo wan average, and this no
doubt is owing to a determination on the part of merchants
to avoid heavy stocks; they consequently purchase only
such goodies are required to keep up an amortraent of those
for which they are likely to bays an immediate cell.

WOOLS.—HUDDERSFIELD, APRIL I.—A moderate quan-
tity of oolonials have changed hand. during the week. but
flip demand today is slacker. Other eerie are more diffi-
wek to move. Pnces so far are without any atieratioo.

CORR.-ROLL, APRIL 1.-At to-day's market • very
small rawly of English wheat, which is taken off at fully
last weaWs currency ; foreign in good request., but although
demand is better there is no improvement in value. Barley
of good malting quality in steady request at fully late
rate; grinding unaltered. Beans, peas, and oats move off
slowly at about former prices. The foreign imports last
week are aa under :-n heat 4,839 qrs. • barley, 3,711
beans, 30 ; tans, 327 ; linseed and rapeseed, 414 ; oil aka,
40 tons ; bones, 221.
LIZDS, APRIL 1.-The trade for wheat shows no signs of
improvement; millers find such • slow demand for flour
that they can scarcely be tempted to make a bid for wheat
the little done is at declining prices. Barley firm at late
rates. Beans and oats rather recede in value. Other
articles unaltered.
Liviaroot., APRIL 1.-With • good attendance of both
town and country millets and dealers at this morn-
ing's market wheat has commanded a fair consumptive in-
quiry at. a anaemia of Id. per anal on Friday's rata.
Flour ts still difficult of sale, and a decline of 6d. per
banal and sack bad to be submitted to in most instances.
A moderate amount of asinine was done in Indian corn at
Friday's prices. Oats and oatmeal have each a fair retail
demand at the recent decline. Egyptian beans steady at
previous quotions. Peas and barley are without change.
Th lia quota
ti
exhibits leas depreesion at the close than we
have had to report of late.
Lirn, APRIL 1.-Weather the part week has been very i
stormy and wet. At to-lay's market we had • small show
of wheat, beet samples 6d. to ls, per qr. higher, other de-
scriptioes as last week. Barley but little offering, and in
demand for seed at ls. per qr. more money. Beans and peas
-prices without alteration. Prices per imperial qr. to the
grower;-Wheat, white, new, 621 b. le 641ba per imperial

NEWC•srLi, Aram 1.-The weather still continues wet
and unsettled. At our market this morning we had a mo-
derate show of wheat from the growers,
and havinicareely
anything from the coast, fine new foreign met a better In-
quiry. New Stettin red not extra, commanding 585,;
choice yellow Datil°, 50s. ; and medium mixed =
575., all per 504 lbs. respectively. Flour 000
rather more attentkn, but cannot be written dearer. In
other articles we have little variation to note.
SLUMMY, APRIL 1.-Considering the wretched state
of the weather to-day, there was • full attendance in the
market; the supply was rather small, and the greater part
of the samples were in very bad condition. Trade in wheat
was in most instances confined to present requirements,
and the few Food samples maintainedlast week's prices.
No alteration in flour. A middling trade dons in barley,
which fully maintained former quotations. Yak in steady
demand, but very firm. In other deariptions of grain the
trade was of a nominal character, at unaltered rata.
Wheat, Ms. to 625. Barley, 31s. to 38e. Oats, 221. to
30s. Beane, 40s. to 48s. Peas, 40s. to 45.. Rya, 30s.

CATTLE.-AALINBCRT, APRIL I.—The supply of beasts
at this day's market was small, but the condition seas
better, and there was a very good attendance of buyers.
Notwithstanding the paucity of the supply, trade ruled
tasiatsining full terms of last market. The number

'of sheep on offer was of the most limited ilansctel, all
finding buyers ; but the beet Down sheep obtaintsl u.
advance of about id. per lb. The supply of cxlre
was considerably on the increase ; a good qua
trade was done, prices varying as to quality, but not
cheaper than last market. In the pig market there was also
a large number of all sorts ; a large trade doing, prime re.
mining unaltered. Best or beef, lie. bd. to pe,
more; cow and heifer ditto, 10s. ild, to lie. ; best Don,.

STEAM SHIPPING.—At the conclusion of Marcb w.
have to report continued dulness in all that pertains to th,
steam shipping interest ; the anticipations we enter...iced
at the commencement of that month nothav log beetle &distil.
Purchasing demand for steamers has been generally u..-
tire, the sale of a few new and second-baud steamen,—
principally of large tonnage--at satisfactory rates beiu the
minor exceptions ; and the demand continues inanimate.
Intending buyers, therefore, have now a favourable upper.
tunity of supplying their requirements. Several steamer,
have been fixed for time in the home trades ; but furtbet
charters of the kind are not offering numerously. Medi-
terranean and Black Sea outward freights are somewhat
firmer ; return cargoes remaining seine, and quotation,.
nominal. Inquiry exists for suitable steamers for the Saltic
trade, and as the navigation opens a better demand nay he
expected ; from the lower ports the freights for grain are
not plentiful ; the quotations in sympathy with the dm%
ing prices of the corn markets are also low.—(Prom tin
Circular of Mews. Alfred Brett and Co.

STATE OF TRADE.
MANCIIRSTRIL APRIL I.—The reports of the nuirket
day are all of • gloomy and discouraging character. Then,
has been very little business done in yarno end the market
is still in an unsatisfactoi7 state. There ha been a little
inquiry for China and India, but the prior offered are too
low, and it leas not led to any burner Prices are tolerably
steady, especially for yarn from American cotton, which
is rather KOZO& Yarns from Bursts cotton, which are in
ether of demand, and rather premed on the market, are
scarcely so firm, and spinners in some instances are willing
to accept rather easier terms. Cloths are more difficult of
sale, and the market generally is very inanimate. There
were letters to hand yesterday from Judie giving more de-
tails than had been previously received by telegraph. The
accounts both from Calcutta and Bombay are very
discouraging. There was very little business in
either market, and prices were without improve-
ment. Whilst the large regular shippers here to
those markets have been withholding goods owing to their
overstocked state of them, it is found that outsiders have
consigned freely rather than keep their stocks at home, and
hence there seems to be little immediate prospect of any ad.
vices of improvement. Under these circumstances buyers
for India are holding back again. They were doing rather
more business a day or two ago, but since those letters came
to hand they are indisposed to operate. Manufacturers,
therefore, cannot sell without making some concession, and
this they are mostly unwilling to do, believing that with
cotton at present rates they may do better by keeping their
production back. It is only where sellers ore pushed for
money, or take • more unfavourable view of our prospects,
that they are willing to take lower rates, and generally
speaking buyers can only be induced to operate by making a
rather oonsiderable reduction. There is a further talk of
short time, and in some cases manufacturers are dosing
their mills altogether. One agent here dates
that he has received notices from three mill-
owners to-day, announcing their intention to stop
entirely. The condition of the working classes is the);
getting from had to worse, and the suffering in some dis-
tricts is most distressing. The amount of mendicancy our-
pares anything OM recollected, the operatives going in
companies about the country to farmhouse', the villas of
the gentry, and to all abodes indicating • position above
their own. Yet in the absence of political excitemer
they are mostly quiet, and endure their !sufferings apps.
rently with meekness. Here and there the regular mendi-
cants mingle with them, representing themeless to be
operatives out of work ; and showing a different spirit are
troublesome to deal with where there is not a police force
to deal with them. The home trade market is very flat,
the houses in that branch restricting themselves mostly to
buying by samples, and showing • disposition to stock as
little as possible. Mean& John Stagg and Co. report :
Since Tuesday last the market has continued in the same
dull and inanimate state. Buyers generally keep aloo as
much as possible, and it is only at a considerable coo-
cession from our quotations that they can be induced to
operate. On the other hand manufacturers adhere firmly
to their prices, and there is consequently very little bur•
new doing. It seems probable that as stocks, notwith.
standing the diminished production, continue to annum.
late, there will shortly be a further curtailment."
