TALLOW.—BATUIDAY Evemita.—There wu no doings
in the tallow market to-clay. Delivery to last enslier,
1,113 auks ; arrivela, 481 ask&

COTTON.—LnzaPooLt AM. 26.—We have had a quiet
busker to-day, at yesterday's prices. The salmi are
500 bales, including 735 Amencao, at 94d. to 131 d. ;
4000 Surat. at 7K. to 101 d. ; 100 Eptian, at 121 d. to
156 d. ; 150 Parana, at 130.: 15 Maranhain, at 1215.
Of which 1,000 are for speculation and export. To-day's
import is 312 bales.

COTTON GOODS.—MAXCHISTIM, Arm 26.—Yarns
advanced in price on Tuesday about Id. per lb., but it was
at the expense of business, and during the entire week the
market has continued very inanimate. and the amount of
business smell. Spinners, however, continue to hold. firmly
for the advance, and there are no eymptoma of yielding.
In cloth, manufacturers Sod it difficult to realise lest week's
rate*, although both cotton and yarn have advanced, sad
they aro in a very discouraging position. They continue
firm, however, believing that though stocks are still large,
the reduction during the peat month, added to the f
limitation of production, will probably give them before long
a better command of the market and more adequate prime.
How far production has been limited, we have now the
means of forming a tolerably reliable calculation. By a
return published in the Manchester Examiner of this day,
it appears that of 1,678 mills, 278 are wholly stopped ; 497 are
working fall time, and the remainder are working 2 to
5 days per week. Of 349,316 operatives formerly em-
ployed in them mills, 57,861 are wholly out of employment •
9,411 are working 2 days per week, 13,416 are working
days, 73,611 are working 3 days, 18,853 are working
days, 70,342 are working 4 days, 13,467 are workingianitinta.
and 92,355 are working full time. A careful e
of this table shows that the amount of work given In the'
whole is about equal to full employment for 207,800 opine
Jives From this it would appear that the productioa of
these mills is about 40 per omit. less than it wu when they
were in full employment, against 30 to 33 per cent. as
shown by the returns made in January. There is a general'
implodes that restriction of production will have to be
carried moth further than it has been so far, unless there
' should be abetter prospect of the supply of cotton.

WOOLLEN CLOTH.—lmana, Aram 28.—Them was a
fair attendance of buyer in the Coloured Hall this
morning, chiefly on the look out for jobs, of which several
lota in low light meltons changed bands. With this imosp-
den there was little done. The White Hall was quiet.

HARDWARL—Bruthrouoth APRIL 26.—The =oat
Beater holidays have given an appearance of slackness to the
trade of this town daring the past week, but, in fact, trade
is rather better, that is, manufacturers have a better @apply
of orders, both on account of the home and foreign markets,
and there is a steady, though undoubtedly a moderate
amount of haziness doing for the time of year. There are
a few breaches in which the depression which the or loog
aided is still felt, and so beg as there an so many of the
stills eloped in Ltheashire. and, as a coossipeace, se many
of the operatives out of work, trade hare most more or lens
@offer ; but that an improvement has takes pleas so far se
this town is concerned, sod that the artasons are working
more time than they were a month or sin weeks ago, there
can be no doubt whatever. In the fancy trades there is
more animation, but business is still below the average in
that class of articles. In the adjoining district of South
Staffordshire and Zest Worcestershire there is still a good
deal of depression in many of the trades carried on there ;
consequent on the strike amongst the nailer* there are many
thousands of the men idle and reduced almost to beggary.
In the iron trade a little more activity is visible.

the condition various, and the sale slow at prices barely
opal to last day. But a very limited show of barley. Pees
and buses each sold at an advance of Is.
OCIILDIVID, APRIL 28.—The supply of wheat to-day was
ratite: more liberal, the condition, however, not being im-
proved, canoed a check to business, and the trade finished
dull, last week's rates barely supported. Barley at bat
week's quotation. Wheat, 545. to 6ft. Barley, Ms. to 39a
Oats, 27e. to 275. per quarter.

Locurrith, Arm 26.—At oar corn market the show of
wheat from the growers was barely as average for the
season. The weather has been more prattled during the
week, and the young wheat plant is looking healthy. The
demand for samples to-day was Less active, and previous
rates were supported. Old red made 525. to 57a. ; new
white, 61s. to ; new red, 60s. to 635. per 36 stone. Of
barley the supply was short, and the tone of the trade
proved firm at prices tending upwards ; malting, 38.. to
425. per qr. ; grinding, 31e. to 345. per 30 stone. Of oats
the supply was by no means large, and the inquiry_ being
brisk, rather better prices were made, 25e. to nig.per

24 atone.
NEWCARTLEMPOR:TTNI, APRIL 26.-At our market this
morning we had a moderate show of wheat from the growers,
and its condition being much improved, a clearance was
early effected at about the rates of this day se'nnight. In
south country qualities only a moderate business was done,
63e. being an extreme quotation for choice new Suffolk
yellow, and 65e. for white, whereas Lincolnshire red, not
extra, commanded 60s. per 5041135. respectively. For
foreign the inquiry proved limited ; still, in the business
trammeled lat.rates were sustained, vis.,69e. per 50411 a for
choice red Beale ; upon the whole, however, a much quieter
feeling pervaded the trade. Flour was held firmly, but
sales not active. For melting barley there was a limited
inquiry, and the little offering rearmed former terms.
Orindiug barley in improved request, and tending upwards.
Malt unchanged. NOM found few buyers. Boling peas
steady. Oats met a fair share of attention, at last week's
prioss. The arrivals this week are :-Wheat, cemeteries,

Indio' corn flour, 390 sacks.
NORWICH, Arari. 26. -'There was rather a better
supply of wheat at today's market, and the sales
made were the turn in favour of the buyer. For the few
samples of barley offering high pricee were demanded. In
other grain there was but little doing. Flour easier to
purchase. The weather during the past week was very fine
and dry; to-day there has been some little rain. Barley
sowing may be now considered finished in this neighbour-
hood. White wheat (weighing 621bs. to 6411 a.), 60s. to
63e. ' • red ditto (weighing 62M. to 6411 a„), 58e. to 625. ; best

cies, of last week. New white sold at 61.. to 665. • new

new, 24.. to 28s. ; foreign, 26e. to 30e. per 24 stone.
PITIMOOROUGH, APRIL 26.-The trade for wheat here to-
day ruled dull, and anything but the finest samples were
lower. Barley, none showing. Oats and beans in small
supply and each 1.. to 2s. per qr. dearer.
Roomers; Aram 26.-The stands at this corn market

transacted at former quotations. For best whites the rates
were 60s. to 66.. per quarter, and red. 16e. to 60a. ; inferior
white, 50s. to 604. ; and red, 48s. to 56a. The barley trade
