of the eloth market continues to be 'most unsatisfaetoi

The late failures, and political events taken together, are
operating most unfavourably, by unsettling confidence et a
hike when the prospects of Wade, particularly in the prin.
lipid shipping markets, was very unpromising. The in-
maned depression now brought about is felt more pinion-
lady in the demand for India and China, and low ea prices
were before, they may still be said to tend towards greater
ease. There has been more inquiry for yarns suited to
India, but so far it has not led to much business. For the
Levant and Greek trade both cloth and yarn meet with a
demand sufficient to keep prices quite steady, and these
goods bold about the hest position in the market. Water
twist, from 20's upwards, are in limited request, with rather
lower prices, and spinners meet with but a fist demand for
most hinds of twist, buyers giving out small and pressing
orders only. In noticing this position of the market,
Messrs. George Fraser Son, and Co. observe—

LINEN GOODS.—MANcanstna, JAN. 27.—This mar-
.

ket ia affected just now by much the same causes that have
influenced the trade in cottons. Prices are, perhaps, as
low as they were ever known to be, but stocks are also
within a very small compsu; and being insufficient to meet
any moderately increased demand, it is not unlikely that an
improvement would bring with it better prices. Andra-
lien 'deices say that linens of household kinds are wanted ;
and as quotations show a margin of profit, some increased
shipments are taking place for that quarter.

WOOLLEN CLOTH.—Linn, Jaw. 27.—We have
bad • better minuet to-day than we had on Tuesday ; but
compared with what has boen an ge one, It has only
been an indifferent affair. The principal sales have been in
double milled blue cloths and Prunells, and a few parties
have done a good business in them. But this has not been
generally the case. The manufacturers are anxious to
effect sales, and to do so are willing to accept lower prices.
The trade in the warehouses has been rather quiet during
the current week. Very few buyers have been in the town ;
and, on all hands, there is considerable caution shown in
entering into business transactions at the present time.

HARDWARE.—BIRMINOHAY, JAN. 27.—There has
been a partial improvement in the state of trade here since
out lest report; some considerable quantity of orders have
come in Irons the country, and as the shopkeepers' stock■
are known to be g 117 small, it seems probable that our
trade will revive as spring approaches. The letters re-
ceived from the factors' travellers are of a more cheering
character, and the manufacturers are complaining less than
they did a fortnight ago. In the foreign trade there is no
change whatever. The price of pig iron (Staffordshire)
has receded a little since quarter day.

CORN.— CAMBRIDGE, JAN. 27.—We bad a dull market
to-day, without say quotable alteration, except second bar-
ley, which was le. cheaper. Wheat, 62.. to 68s. _ Barley,
30s. to 355. Beans, 41.. to 44.. Peas, 401. to 441. Oats,

this market to-day, which meta slow sale at barely last
week's rates. Barley the supply good without any altera-
tion in price. Beans and peas a moderate supply at former
rates.
GLOIIOIIIT3I4 JAN. 27.-Our market today was well
attended, and farmers would have readilt taken last week's
rates for English wheat, but millers' offers were Is. to 24.
lower, and a limited business resulted. Foreign wheat
without change. Barley in supply, but few buyers.
Beans were not in request. The oat trade continues firm,
bet very little doing. Imports of the week ending Jan. 27:
Wheat, 782; oats, 4,863.

NnweAsnat•nrow-Tvan, JAN. 27.-The weather still
continues 16...V7-there Is a good covering of anew over
the country, wider' will prove serviceable to the wheat
plant. The toad,' during the present week, in the face of
liberal foreign impute, has continued to exhibit a steady
aspect, and a good business has been done in wheat at an
improvemeat of le. per Ir.- superior sew Norfolk yellow

try, and owing to the high pretensions of farmers, the
trade oath* commencement flagged, but on last week's
prices being submitted to, a Meanness was even-
tually effected. In south country and foreign little
was done, our millers having purchased sufficient pre-",
viously to meet their wants, holders, however, were
generally firm, and refused to sell, excepting at very extreme
rats.. Flour moved off slowly, bat in its value we note
little change. By. stationary. Malting barley was held
with more firmness, and, there being little left unsold at the
quay, holders of granaried samples seemed indifferent
about selling. Malt most difficult to quit, and only the
choicest qualities saleable. In beans and peas little change.
With oats we were well supplied by our growers, and, not-
withstanding the heavy arrivals, fresh-thrashed samples
could not be had cheaper. The arrivals this week are:—
Wheat, coastwise, 240 qrs. • foreign, 3 279; rye, coast-
wise, 24; barley, coastwise, 4; foreign, 700 ; oats, coastwise,
2,801 ; foreign, 760; peas, foreign, 410; beans, foreign,
102 ; flour, 10 sacks.
Nonwitat, JAN. 27.—There was an abundant supply of
wheat at our market to-day in improved condition, which
met a free sale at 2s. per qr. below the currency of this day
se'nnight. Flour was in small request at last week's rates.
Barley was offered freely, but the demand languid, and
prices must be quoted le. per qr. lower ; grinding sorts well
maintained their previous value. Beans and peas small'
offer, small demand; in price no change. Oats were in
gooisupply, no change in value. Wheat, whits, 735. to 761.

130. to 144. per stone; good hard beam mad, from 43a. to
445. per qr.

READINO, JAN. 27.—We had a moderate supply of
wheat, the sellers of which asked for increased pricts, but
millers were very shy and would not gin over the price of
last week, at which rate a tolerable share of business was
transacted. Barley for malting and grinding was much the
same as last market day. Oats, beans, and peas, without
alteration.

WIBBECII, JAN. 27.—We are fairly supplied with grain
of all kinds today. The wheat trade is not so gay as last
week, still there is very little giving way for the btst qua-
lity, whilst for the inferior kinds Is. to 2s. per v. less is
taken. Oats free sale at last week's prices. Beans and
barley hardly so good to sell. Wheat, old, 64e. to 78s. per
qr.; new, 661. to 78s. Oats, ls. 2d. to Is. 214. per stone.
Beans, 461. to 47e.

Woaczanta, JAN. 27.—We had a lugs attendance and
good supply of wheat at market to-day, which which sold
very slowly at a decline of ls. per qr. Barley nominally
unaltered. Oats less in demand. Beans nearly maintained
their value. Nothing doing in peas.

Yoax, JAN. have had a good show of wheat at
market to-day, which met only a slow sale at last week's
prices. A fair supply of barley, which sold with difficulty,
at somewhat under last week's rates. Oats and beans rather
cheaper. Floor is 3.. per sack higher. The following are
the p t prices of grain: Wheat, white, 795. to 82s. per
imperial qr ; red, 725. to 741.; barley, malting, 335. to 365.;
grinding, 30. to 325.; malt, 725. to 745. ; oats, 13d. to 14d.
per stone of 141bs. ; flour, 545. to 671. per sack of 2801bs.
KIRCALDT, JAN. 27.-The weather during the week,
although a little changeable, has always kept inclining to
frost. Now it is pretty bard, and apparently we are in for
a storm of snow and frost, and, coming on at this time, it
may last a while. At our country markets this week no
great quantity of grain was offering, and farmers would
only sell where they obtained 31. to 4s. per qr. advance eta
wheat, and Is. to 2s. per qr. on barley; oats were also the
turn d llene today we had good supplies of all
kinds of grain. Sales slow, without any change in prices.
Wheat, 625. to 765. per qr. Barley, 31s. to 371. Oats, 245.
to 30s.
DcuraN, JAN. M.-There was a moderate supply of
wheat and barley, and a large one of oats at market
to-day. Wheat and malting barley wet a brisk demand at
f.lly the currencies of Tuesday. Distiller's barley was a
shade dearer; oats moved off slowly, and were in some
cases, towards the close of the market, about 3d. cheaper,
and a good many samples remained unsold. Wheat, red,
395. to 435. ; barley, 16s. to 215.; bere, Iss. to 165.; oats,
new, 14s. 6d. to 16s. ; bakers' flour, 245. to 275.
WATERFORD, JAN. 27.-We have had a very email ins-
port of grain coastwise since this day sennight. From
abroad there has not been a single arrival, but the supplies
from farmers have been on a liberal scale, particularly of
wheat, which has declined about is. per barrel. At this
morning's market we had again a fair delivery of wheat,
and as millers were not very anxious buyers, farmers
were obliged to submit to the reduction above
noted before a clearance could be effected. Barley
underwent no change, but oats met an improved sale
at - better prices than were obtainable on Saturday last.
Indian corn was in fair request at an advance of 6d. to 9d.
per barrel, and as supplies are expected to be small for
some time, many holders refused to sell except at a further
enhancement. Foreign wheat has realised rather more
money. Flour, with a moderate enquiry, fully maintains
its value. Imports this week: Wheat, 60 qrs. ; Indian
corn, 1,666. Exports: Oats, 6,183 barrels; flour, 4,367
sacks; Indian cairn, 250 barrels.; oatmeal, 40 cwts.
