COTTON.—Lzveieom, 11Aacz 15.—We haveiegeie to
report • strong and hardening market. Cottou Ulfilt
of e•le yesterday boa been sold at id. advance on the otf..n,
then made, sod all descriptions may be quoted 01. to id.
higher than yesterday. The sales are 8,000 bales, of which

COTTON G00D11....-MANCHZII7IM, Mama lo.—Fur
cloth ws had a quiet market to the close of last week, with
• tendency to weakness in prima. The market opened in
much the same state yesterday, but the important improve-
meat in the Liverpool cotton market gave a rather more
cheerful tone in the aftereocm, and the drooping tendeocy
of prime wee arrested. Today also, for the PILO reasoe,
we have had a rather more cheerful feeling, with more
inquiry for some descriptions of cloth, but still as regards
actual business the improvement amounts to little. Bayern
still disinclined to purchase with any freedom.'llrir;r have made a few offers, but at prices inmost cases too
low for acceptance, and where badness has resulted from
their inquiries it is doubtful if it has been done at any tan.
gible advance in prices. All that can be said is, that
sellers are disposed •to bold for rather higher rata
than they would have taken last week, and that to
this extent the market is firmer. In fact the improvement
has commenced at the wrong end ; it is in response to the
feeliog in the market for the raw materiel, instead of
having sprung from any Lona ode demand for the manu-
factured article. In the yarn market the improvement ci
of • more satisfactory character. Not only has there
been • more cheerful feeling in this branch of the market,
but it has resulted in more activity generally. We have
had more business in shipping yarns for all markets, and
prima does firm at as advance of id. per lb. on the rates of
Friday last. In home trade yarns also there has beer deci.
dedly more inquiry, resulting in a fair amount of business,
and at an advance in prime of id. to id. per lb, as compared
with the closing raise of last week. Messrs. Whitworth and
Co. report the quantity of cotton now at see from India,
Chios, and Japan, at 540,000 bales.

ILINUFACTUREB.—HODDES3FIELD, MAWR 15.—The
atteodance of buyers has been rather numerous from the
provinces, but few from London. A. moderate amount of
business has been transacted in black doeskins and good
steel mixtures, as well se the avenge quantity of spring
sad summer goods. The ordinary demand for unions, in-
cluding low-prioed deecriptioos for shipping, still continues,
and a fair quantity of Bedford cord► are making to order.

WOOLS.—BODUrnarir.LD, MARCH 15.—There is not so
much doing in wools as aught have been expected from the
quantity arrived from pnvent sales, longetainled firm wool
being most in demand, and in this class but little has as yet
been brought forward in Loudon.
CORN.—ficti., MARCH 15.—At to-day's market a fair
supply of English wheat. which is taken off at about last

neglected. Foreign arrivals for the week:—Wheat,
qrs. ; barley, 7,301 ; peas, 354 ; tares, 440.

barley to get on in salsa. Beans quite as dear. Oats and
other articles as before.

LEVERPOOL. %ma 16.—At our market to-day there was
toil =dente bunions in wheat, and prices cloud
t any material change. tate difficult to tell.
Egyptian beans warn, and ie. per quarter advance. Indian
can &I. per quarter cheaper. Flour a little more in. laird
after. and full prices obtained.

Ni ZWCABTLE,'MAIICH 1.5. —The weather since Saturday has
boss very tempestuous, with much rain to the west. To-
day we have experienced showers of hail at intervals, with
• very low temperature. At our market this morning we
had • moderate show of wheat from the growen, and
although the arrivals coastwise have proved equally so, the
very inanimate state of the dour trade rendered our millers
very careless about buying, so that very few transactioes
resulted, although Saturday's rates would have been cc-
oepted. Flour without change ; malting barley mach de-
pressed sod inclining cheaper. in other articles little variso
lion to note.

SALISBURY, MARCH 15.—The supply of wheat to-day was
not only large, but of excellent quality, and there was a
eery full attendance of buyers. quality,

mooed amongst the farmers attending the market
between 1 and 2 delock. by the sudden giving way
of • Partial of the flooring of the gallery on the
south side of the market house, in which a coosiderable
quantity of men had been stored. All parties made a rush
for the doom, thinking the whole building was about to
oollapee ; but it was soon ascertained that only two of the
joists bad given way, and these being supported by iron
girders the seeks above were prevented from falling through.
The era in the storm above was removed as speedily as
possible to the gallery at the farther end of the speed
sod all further daopr was thereby averted.

was rather shortly supplied with hearts, and the quality was
moody of an isferior claw; the &Meadow.* of buyers wee
