MARKETS.

BitfirtoL, Arita 8.
Suomi: The (aerations in our market are still
on a moat limited scale, owing to the continued
prevalence of eaaterly winds, which keeps out arrivals;
and the transactions of the week are limited to a few lots
of new Barbados*, which have sold steadily at from 325. to
38s. In other desetip_tions of raw sugar we have not heard
of any transactions. The refined market is rather quiet,
and prices are barely supported. Treacle has again become
quite a drug. Rua is still miserably flat.

lavearoor, APRIL 8.
The sales to-day Sr. :—Sugar : 600 bqe Benue',
30s. to 38s. Rice : 1,000 bags Bengal, 9s. 3d. to 91. 6d.
Persian berries :13 bales infenor, 35.. Jute : 1,000 bales,
91. to W. Saltpetre :60 bap, 20a. (01 per teat.)

COTTON.—Ltenarow.„ Aran. B.—Since our circular
of Friday left, the interval hoe pawed over our cotton mar-
ket undisturbingly ; prices have maintained their course,
without varying either to the right hand or to the left. The
stay of the importer of cotton during this quiet period, and
under further adviees of increasing manatee of crop irom
the United States, is the large consumption now going for-
ward, in Europe as well as America, and the moderate scale
of oar existing currency. The import, notwithstanding
easterly weather, has been considerable, Still, un to the
present moment, the quality of "middling" in American
descriptions, worth 41d to rod., is inadequately brought on
the market; awl it is, therefore, not easy to transact busi-
ness satisfactorily in thew kinds, for want of a more ample
selection. Other descriptions, and the market in general,
we report as before. 470 American, 640 Surat, 260 Egyp-
tian, and 30 Pertains arc reported to have been taken on
speculation ; and 2,360 American, 240 Surat, 80 Madras, and
40 Egyptian for export. Sales for the walk, 24,360 bales.
Mancrtarsa, APRIL B.—The advice' by the Asia of a
declining cotton market continue to affect the market for
cotton yarn and cloth, by unsettling confidence in past
calculations, and buyers await the entire subsidence of
prices before they will execute any but the moat pressing
orders. In domestics and 40-inch shirtinp, prices are de-
cidedly weaker, bat printing cloths are steadier than most
other kinds of cloth, on account of the loop contracts run-
ning, and the lightness of stocks. In yarns, prices continue
in favour of the buyer, and the whole week's transactions
have been exceedingly light. Manufacturers without stock
or under contract are indisposed to make any material con-
cession.

WOOL.—LivenrooL, Aram B.—There 1; still little
doing, but there will be offered, on the 16th, about 1,000
bitw with about 1,000 other sorts, demisting of Bps-
Web, Lisbon, Egyptian, Turkey, and other low wool. In
the meantime, little doing b 7 Finite Oreatmet.

We.soL—Butieon,D,ll.—There Loathing different
to 'tie buying of combing Wool., and prier are without
change. Naffs end brokes are good sale, and the quantity
'staking very limited.

HOSIERY AND LACE TRADES.—Norrixon
April B.—The competition between the slap hose maniac-
tare sad the round frames seems to have t.,ken the, course
dim making the legs sad the other the feet of the stock-
ing% The drawer sad pantaloon branches have • shade
impremed in some tauten ; this is felt aa a great MIA and
there an hopes eta further amendment. There is little or no
laseveummt in the silk and spun-silk glove branches. The
ilk lime breathes aro nearly in a date of beggary
end Me warp briery branches are in general but dull.;
The seam liebbilmnet trade keeps an improved can-
didata, sad same of the houses are working long hours.
The silk brassies, however, are dull. The curtain trade is
in a very favourable position, and is extending ; an attempt
has been made to introduce fiat threads, but has been
avoided for the present by titling cotton thread highly
selemissed. The lees hod. in'France is increasing, end
many Mode are emigrating to Calais. The warp lace trade
is ream dull, but tide will, in all probability, be speedily
changed by the introduction of new manufactures.—Notts
Review.

IRONNIASTERS' QUARTERLY MERTING.—Bra-
11111NOIIAM, Anti!. B.—The usual quarterly meeting of the
ironmasters of this district has been held here to-day ; the
attendance was numerous, and the reports of those who are
the most conversant with the state of the trade arc gene-
rally concurrent on the subject of the comparative healthi-
ness of its condition ; for although the trade is said to be
bad, the orders are large, stocks are small, and many cir-
cumstances (especially the abundance of money) fairly give
rise to the Impression that the prospect of an improvement
in the iron trade is anything but remote. At present no
advance of prices need be looked for, but it will at least be
a good sign if the current rates are well maintained. Of
this (though we do not wish to be regarded as amongst the
" prosperity" writers) there can scarcely be a doubt. Fur
• long time the orders from abroad, chiefly for rails, have
been good, end at the meeting to-day the orders, especially
for pig., were fully up to the average. The discovery
of the ore in Northamptonshire was again a good
deal talked about to-day; more than the ordinary
amount of nonsense has been written on this subject, and
the most opposite opinions have been given by those who
should know something of such matters; it is sufficient here
to say that the intelligent and unprejudiced amongst the
heads of the iron trade regard the discovery as a valuable
one, and entertain no doubt but that in time the ore will
gradually be made available as soon as its value and pro-
perties have been sufficiently tested. It is with sincere ra-
tification we are enabled to announce that, so far u iron
trade operations are concerned, there is not a workmen out
of employ either in this district or in Wales. The number
of furnaces in blast is a fraction less than at the lutquarter
day. Ina kindred and equally important branch of in-
dustry—the manufacture of tin plates—we are glad to be
able to note symptoms of improvement. The demand had
been falling off for some time, and the make had been
reduced in Wales, but from canoes not actually
connected with this decline. A further reduction
of the make is still imperatively necessary in order
to enure healthiness in the trade and reniunera
tive prices. Oa this subject a very important meeting of
those interested was held at Gloucester a day or two since ;
no definite resolution was arrived at, but a committee was
siiviintedg udt.deciolle. opnainwshatot course should tatatioandoorge.
subject, we have no hesitation in saying that there is only
one course open that can possibly preserve and protect the'
interests of thou most concerned, and that is to reduce the
make at once. Present prices are not remunerative; the
time has, however, now arrived when larger orders may be
expected.

CORN. Blastixonsn, Antic B.—Our markets at
Gloucester and Worcester, on the 3rd, were again dull,
and the few sales effected in wheat were again Gd. to Is. per
quarter lower. Barley offering at a similar decline, with-
out finding buyers to any extent. Oats nominally un-
altered, but only taken in retail. Beans dull, but no lower.
Nothing doing in peas. During the present week we have
not heard of a single transaction in Wheat. Some barley
has changed hands eta reduction of W. to Is per quarter.
A few small pareels of oats have been sold at former
prices. Beans and pass rather cheaper. At this day's
market there was a limited supply of wheat, yet the turn
was in favour of the buyer, on the few tales made. Bar-
ley difficult to quit at the above decline. Oats nominally
unaltered. Beans fully as dear.

Bateror, Aram 8.-The supply of English wheat was
moderate, but the market ruled Uull, and sales of English
and foreign could only bo effected at a decline of from 6d.
to Is. per qr. Flour partook of the depression, and values
were lower ls. per sack upon English, and proportionably
on foreign. In malting barley the trade was dull, but
former rates were obtainable, especially for really prime
samples. Beans were 6d. per quarter lower. Oats in retail
deiaaad at the quotations of this day se'nnight. The prices
wen:-Wheat, English, 38s. to 4as. per imperial quarter;
foreign white, 445. to 48s. per 480 lbs.; ditto red, esti%
fine qualities, 40s. to 425. per 480 lbs.; fine qualities, 375.
to 40.. per 480 lbs. ; ditto, ordinary qualities, 365. to
38a. per 480 lbs. Foreign hard, 355. to 38s. per 480 lbs.
Flour, English seconds, 28s. to 30s. per sack; United
States, dm., sweet, 20s. to 21s. per barrel. Barley,
English malting, 28s. to 335. per imperial quarter. Eng-
lish and foreign grinding, 245. to 255. per 400 lbs.
Oats, Devon and Welsh feed, 17s. to 18s. per imperial
quarter; Irish white, 18s. Gd. to 19s. 6d. per 320 lbs.;
Irish black, 17s. to 17s. 6d. per imperial quarter. Beans,
English 30s. to 34e. per imperial quarter; foreign,
265. to 30s. per 480 lbs. The arrivals on shipboard during
the week have been :-Oats, 2,843 barrels, 300 quarters ;
barley, 1,563 barrels, 25 quarters ; Fleur, 980 sacks. The
official return of the corn inspector gives tbo following
averages :-Wheat, 411. 24. ; oats, 17s. 7d. ; barley, 235. 34.

CHRLMBFORD, April B.—ln consequence of the market
being held a day earlier this wok there was a less supply
of NS heat at market, but quite adequate to the wants of
buyers ; the trade was exceedingly dull, and must be quoted
Is. to 2a. per qr. lower. Red Wheat, 395. to 405. ; white,
445. to 465. Barley nominally unaltered in value. Beans
not plentiful but rather lower.

Dames, April B.—We bad a moderate supply of Wheat,
which met a very dull sale, at a decline of from Is. to 2a. a
quarter on lut week's prices. Barley was in good supply
for the time of year, and the misters having done buying,
business was dull at a decline of Is. a quarter; one lot, be-
longing to Mr. W. Fowls, reached as high as 35e. Oats,
Peas, and Beans, vsny dull, and the latter Is. per quarter
lower. Present quotations are: Wheat, white, 491. per
qr.; beet red, 40e. to 435.; middling, 341. to 40s. ; infenor,
30s. to 34.. Barley, 28s. to 365.0 d. Oats, 19s. to 255. Beau,
295. to Ms. Peas, SOL to We. Flour, One, 325. to 3.5 e. per
sack; wends, 30s. to 325. Bread, 10d. the 81b. loaf.

Lnicoin, Aril B. The Corn trade is excessively
dull to-day, millen offering 2a. per qr. learn for Wheat
which, not being generally acceded to, checked sale., and a
small business was done at about la. decline. The lame
may be said of every other article in the trade. Wheat,
red, 365. to 395.; white, 425. to 45.. Barley, 26a. to
Oats, 19a. to 224.

NEWBURY, April B.—The supply of Wheat exceeded the
demand which led to a reduction of fully 2a. per Ir. from
the prices of last week. The demand for Barley is much
lase ; the finest maintained its price, but secondary sorts are
Is. per qr. cheaper. Oats, Beans, and Pea. without change.
UXBRIDGII, April B.—The trade is heavy, and Wheat is
sold at a reduction of Is. to 21. per qr. from the prices of
Wt week. Barley is also lower end the sale slow. Osta
are in good demand and the turn dearer. Peas and Beans
in short supply.
. _ _

WAVIPILLD, April 8.-Our supplies of all grain are
moderate, but this does not stop the general depression of
the trade, and all articles rather recede with a limited de-'
mand. Wheat sad Barley are each Is. per qr. lower.
Oats and Shelling scarcely bring so much money. Beans
are in favour of the buyer. Malt dull and easier to purchase.
Wheat, per qr., 601 b. to the bushel, Suffolk, Essex, and

week : Wheat, 4,992 qrs. ; Barley, 2,527 ; Oats, 227 ; Beano.
732 ; Shelling, 200.
Warstiroan, April 7.-The continued dull accounts
from the English markets keep the trade here in a very de-
pressed state, and prices of all articles arc with difficulty
maintained. The amount of business passing is to small
that we do not alter our quotations, but to effect sales of
importance lower prices must be submitted to.

CATTLE, &c.—Limeotas.— The fit stock market on
Wednesday last was only moderately supplied with Beasts
and Sheep. Beef, Os. to Si. 9d. per stone. Mutton, 41d. to
61d. per lb.

Sateoku, April 7.—We had, for the week terminating
Len., a fair supply of Beasts and Sheep, &c., of a fair ave-
rage quality. There was, as usual in this weak, a large
attendance, and the trade brisk fur both Beef and Mutton,
at the very full tate, of last week, and little left unsold.

CHEESE.—SALIBBORY, April B.—Our monthly Cheese
fair was again held today, when the supply was very large,
from 200 to 250 tons being pitched. .There was a less num-
ber of buyers present and only • moderate ankunt of
business transacted. The quotations of last market were
tolerably well supported, but the extensive supply pro-
duced, in some instances, • downward tendency. The
Cheese was of first-rate quality. The factors, however, did
not press ales, and that remaining unsold was forwarded to
Ramey fair. The following is the return of prices: Skims,
18e. to 24a. ; half-cowards, 38s. to 425. ; cowards, 40e. to
80s. ; beet Somerset, 545. to 82s. per ton.
