MARKETS.

COTTON.—Lyszaroot, Mar 27.—The sales of cotton
to-day are estimated at 12,000 bales, of which 1.000 are
taken fur export and 5,000 on specahstion. The chief por-
tion are American as usual, the remainder include 5001
Pension and Maranham at 614. to 71d. ; 100 Bahia, at 6id.
to 1114.; 300 Egyptian, 64_d. so lid. ; and 600 Surat, at 31d.
to sp. The market closes tamely but firmly. Prices of
the current qualities of American are nearly Id. per lb.
dearer than on Friday ; all other sorts are against tba
buyer. Brazils are id. per lb. dearer, and Bea Islands 0.1
to Id. for the fortnight.
NANCRESTER, Mar 27.—Much the same feeling per-
vades the cotton, yarn, and cloth market, bat mesas pressing
orders have compelled buyers to operate, and on the whole
we have had rather an improved business. In yarns, spin-
ners have in some caws obtained the advanced prices sought
on Monday; but, except in some of the wider printing
cloths, manufactured pods have not advanced.

27,—The colonial„Lies at
Hall Commerce continue to be exceedingly well at-
thewHoolLor—tono,;. itT
at-
tended, and prices •are a shade higher than at their com-
mencement. The Port Phillip wools are in much better
condition than usual, and the owners aro well rewarded
for the pains they have taken with their flocks this last
season. A considerable part of these choice wools has been
taken by French and German buyers, and the competition
between them and our English manufacturers is most
spirited. Every description of wool has experienced a very
considerable advance upon the prices of the last public salts
in February, as we predicted would be the case some ten
or fifteen days since. The improved value of wool may be
accounted for in many ways. The deputation from York-
shire to the government respecting the sending of shepherds
and shearers to Australia to secure the next clip bad caused
many to fear short supplies, and this, together with the
known fact that our manufactures are in a healthy state,
and hold very small stocks of the manufactured article as
well as the raw material, and the general belief that wool has
seen its lowest, added to the brisk demand from France, is
sufficiently explanatory of the rive. German wools have
also met with a ready sale lately, and the market has been
pretty well cleared of everything under 2s. 3d. her lb.
'There have also been several sales of Odessa wools, and the
market for every description of foreign wool has shown
more animation than has been observed for some time past.
BRADFORD, May 26.—The advanced prices realised
at the colonial wool sales now progressing in Loudon
have contributed to improve the firmness of tone which
has characterised the English wool market for some time
previous. We cannot, however, report any decided ad-
vance of price in wool generally here, and the favourable
change appears to extend no further than that most classes
of good wool can be readily sold at the full quotations of the
previous week or two. Any further advance is firmly re-
sisted by spinners, and their poeition certainly does not
warrant the slightest being conceded. Short wools and
nulls are a good sale, at firm rates.—Bradford Observer.

IdANUFACTURES.—BRAIWURD, May 27.—The yarn
and piece mukets continue much the same as reported for
porno weeks put; the demand is steady, but there is no
improvement in prices.—/bid.

HOSIERY AND LACE TRADES. NOTTINGHAM,
May 27.—A considerable change is farther extending in the
bobbin-net trade. This has brought on a temporary sus-
pension in the employment in some of the factories manufac-
turing cheap goods, but those that have persevered in making
sound and properly wrought lace and nets, are rewarded by
their machines being well employed. The making laces with
extra twist, so as it will bear the wash-tub, will most proba-
bly increase the demand, ere long, of at least one-third.
The cotton hosiery branches, though contending with diffi-
' culties are in a very fair condition. The drawer and pan-
taloon (aa we stated it would when it was in the most de-
putised condition) has much recovered. The round frames
ere extending in some quarters, but in the others the
average is the case. These frames are better calculated for
making fancy hosiety than the common frame, and there is
little doubt, when they adopt Thomas's patent, that they will
eventually supersede the loom, as the frame will make a
superior sad cheaper artiele.—Notts Review.

CORN.-Ilinstgonme,, MAY 27.-At Gloucester and
Worcester market., on an 22nd, wheat wu the turn
dearer; the trade howncet ruled dull. Barley rather
lower. Oats maintained their value, with a fair retail de-
mand. Beans somewhat higher. Duriug the present week
the weather has continued cold fur the season ; and for the
little wheat 'hewn, fully as high prices have been de-
' mended. At Wolverhampton, yesterday, an advance of
6d. to Is. per quarter was realised. Grinding barley sells
for quite as much money. Oats are offering at a decline of
6d. per quarter, without finding buyers to any extent.
Beans continue scarce. At this day's market, there was an
increased supply of wheat, for which higher prices were
asked, but the trade cloud dull, and we make no alteration
in our quotations. Barley unaltered. Very little doing
in oats. Beans and peasinquired for, and some advance
was obtained for both. The following are quotations :-

BRISTOL, MAT 27.-The supply of English wheat at to-
day's market was moderate, while there was • fair oon-
compile. demand. This circumstance, coupled probably
with the fact of the weather basing been somewhat broken,
caused business to assume a firmer tone. English wheat
was from 6d. to Is. per quarter dearer, and the finer quail-
ties of foreign brought likewise fully Gel. per guarter mere
money. There was a better business doing in flour, and
prices were firmer, although no quotable advance nook place.'
There was; little or nothing doing in molting barley, but
grinding and distillery parcels were in fair request, and an
improvement of Gd. per quarter was submitted to. For
oats there was a steady demand at about last week's cur-
renei P. Beans were Gd. per quarter dearer. The prices wore:
English wheat, 375. to 43a. per imperial quarter; foreign
white, 425. to 41s. per 480 Its.; ditto red, extra fine

Nrwneisr, May 27.-We have to report a good average
supply of Wheat, for which there was a steady demand on
, fully the tents of last week ; in some =Maces Is. Were was
male, but the trade is without animation. The transae-
bone in spring corn were quite of a retail character, at late
prices.
I:muttons, May 27.-The trade far Wheat is dull, and
secondary qualities are Is. per gr. lower ; the best parcels
