MARKETS.

COTTON.—Livrarout, Jose 3.—The sales to-day are
estimated at 7,000 bales, of which exporters have taken
about 500 American, and .500 Surat, and speculators 1,000
of the former. The market closes very firmly, prices of
all kinds beiag very nearly if not quite ed. per lb. dearer
than on Friday. American under 61d. per lb. becomes
worse to buy each day. The other sorts include 150 Perham
and Maranhao, at 6p. to 71d.; 200 Egyptian, at 6141. to
74d.; and 1,000 Surat, at 31d. to 41d. The imports since
this day week are 25,000 bales.

HOSIERY AND LACE TRADES. Norrisonsat,
June 3.—The extra fine cotton hose branch, above forty-
four gauge, has scarcely ever been in a more prosperaus
condition, but as the gauges or qualities become coerser,
the demand recedes. Fashioned hose, as they are tech-
nicalay termed, arc but little affected by the round Dames,
but the latter have pressed heavily on the cut-up hose
trade ; they are, however, in many cases far from being in
excessive demand. Still the capability of this description
of frame for producing new fabrics is very great, and there
is reason to suppose that eventually they will prove a bless-
hag to the district, though hitherto they have been con-
sidered by the workmen as an evil. The drawer and
pautaluon branch has completely recovered, but, the
wages having been reduced, there is a scarcity of
hands. The silk glove branch is seriously depressed,
but the cotton glove trade has improved. There is
also some amendment in the warp hosiety branches. The
silk hosiery trade, whether plain or knotted, is nearly ex-
tinct. The trade of fancy cotton bobbin nets made in the
usual manner is much depressed. To speak in general
terms, good laces are in demand, especially black silk laces,
being all silk. These are a surprising fabric, being made
from machinery of the most complicated and delicate de-
scription. A new method has been latterly adopted. The
guides instead of being carried on metal bars, now ride
upon strings, 300 such strings he ing applied to a machine.
The curtain (bobbin net) brunch has slightly fallen off, but
MPhil tickler-made curtains, it is said, great improvements
have been made. The cotton warp laces are depressed, but
the silk articles are in a much better state. The making of
velvets and figured fabrics is progressing, the latter being
made without meshes.—Notts Review.

WOOL.—BasuPonn, June 3.—From the opening of the
colonial sales great spirit has prevailed, and au advance es-
tablished beyond what was expected. The purchases are
to a great extent for foreign account, and the quantity
coming to this district by no means an average of the early
sales of past years. The business doing in English Wool
does not participate in the activity of colonial, fur this being
fur actual consumption, there is great caution manifested in
the purchases of the spinners, who, from their profitless
avocation, are only buying for hand to mouth consumption,
and prices ore firm. Soils and broke' are ready sale, and
prices dearer.—Brodford Observer.

MANUFACTURES.-111tADFORD, June 3.—Yarns:
There is more doing in Tarns; the stocks on band are very
meagre, and better prices realiacd. Pieces : The animated buy-
ing of Colonial Wools and the advanced price have caused a
serious change in the value of tine Cohouras made from
that material, and anything good has been freely moved
when old prices would be accepted, and contracts offered
and refused, seeing the difficulty to reproduce; in other
qualities of Cubourgs there is decidedly more doing, and
any change must be at an advance, for the cost of manu-
facture is materially increased, by the higher price both of
cotton warps and worsted welts.-16id.

C0113.-BinstiNnitsn, JUNE 3.-At Gloucester and
Worcester markets, on the 29th, the wheat trade ruled dull
at about the currency of that day se'nnight. Barley scarce,
and fully as dear ; but only taken in limited quantities.
Oata &I. to Is. per quarter lower. Beans and peas enquired
for, and is. per quarter higher. During the present week
the weather has been showery and warmer: the wheat ,
trade has ruled dull, with the turn in favour of the buyer.
Barley only taken in retail, and the transactions in oats
have been on the most limited scale. Few beans or peas
offering, and both arc still tending upwards. At this day's
market, although there was a less supply of wheat, the
trade ruled dull, with the turn in favour of the buyer, but
we make no alteration in our quotations. Oats offering
lower without finding buyers. Barley unaltered in value.
Brans and Peas inquired for, and fully as dear. Prices:-

BursToL, JU3li 3.-Our market was fairly supplied this
day with English wheat, and we experienced a more active
demand. Prices, as well for English u foreign, were
firmer, and in some instances exhibited a small advance
on the currencies of this day se'nnight. In flour there
was not much activity, and prices were about stationary.
The malting season is now virtually over, and barley
was lower, for all purposes, by fully 6,1. per quarter.
For oats there was a fair consumptive demand, at last
week's quotations. Beans were somewhat dearer to purchase.

quarter; foreign white, 425. to 445. per 480 145. ; ditto
red, extra fine qualities, 38s. W. to 40s. per 480 Rs.; fine

for the week have Seen :-Wheat, 1,320 quarters ; oats,
2,811 barrels, 796 quarters ; barley, 1,174 quarters, 144
barrels ; beans, 260 quarters; lour, 1,660 sacks. The offi-

Demise, June 3.-We had a fair supply of Wheat ; the
trade was very flat, but last week's prices were fully sup-
ported; a tolerable deeming was made. In Barley little
or nothing doing, and prices may be said to be nominal.
Oats, Beans, and Peas met a fair sale at previous prices.
Wheat, white, per qr., 465.; best red, 41s. to 445. • mid-
dling, 355. to 41.. ; inferior, 31s. to 3.3 e. Barley, i6s. to
325. Oats, 191. to 25.. Beaus, 295. to 375. Yeas, 30s. to
365. Flour, fine, 325. to 365. per sack ; second., 30s. to 325.
NEWBURY, June 3.-We have this day a liberal supply
of Wheat, rather exceeding the wants of the trade, which
led to a reduction of lc per qr. on the secondary descrip-
tions. All descriptions of spring corn only in moderate
supply, and the transactions therein unimportant.
UIBRIDOZ, June 3.-The supply at market is short. The
trade in Wheat is without alteration in value ; the average
price is 465. per qr. In Oats and Barley but little doing.
Peas and Beans Is. per qr. dearer.
WATERFORD, June 2.-With the exception of ene cargo
of Wheat and one of Indian Corn, we have no arrivals of
foreign grain to report since Saturday. Our market con-
tinues exceedingly firm for every article in the trade, and
In the value of Maize we note an improvement of fid. per
buret.
EDINBURGH, June 2.-There was but a small supply of
grain in the market today. Wheat sold well, there being
a considerable demand, and prices up. Barley kept firm at
last quotations. Oats and Beans sold well, and went up in
twice. Mr. Stevenson, of Samuelston, exhibited some
heads of shot Barley in the market to-day. Wheat, 41s. to
48s. Barley, 275. 6d. to 325. 6d. Oats, 20.. 44. to 265.
Beans, 30s. lid. to 355.
GLASGOW, June 2.-Since the date of our last the wea-
thee, on the whole,hu continued dry, with rather a low range
of temperture for the season ; but last night some heavy rain
fell, of which the hay crop was much in want. The trade
remained steady through the week, and some purchases of
Wheat were made in Leith by our dealers for transit hither,
and, owing to the scarcity of Egyptian, some quantity
of the inferior qualities of Mediterranean found buyers
at low prices. Oats were offering on rather easier
terms, but in other articles ne alteration occurred.
At this day's market good fresh Wheat wu in moderate
request at previous rate., and there was some inquiry for
inferior qualities for Ireland, but the trade on the whole
ruled quiet. American Flour having become much less
plentiful, was the turn dearer, but French was offering to
arrive at somewhat reduced rates. Oats and Oatmeal met a
slow sale, although lower prices would have been conceded
for the former. Barley and Beans 4 limited demand,
without change in value. White Peas a free sale at Gd. to
Is. per boll over late rates.
CATTLE.-Latne, JUNE 3.-We bad a good show of
cattle at this fair yesterday, and a great attendance of
buyer.. 700 beasts were offered foe sale ; they were gene-
rally of prime quality, and realised from M. to 6.. Bd. per
stone of 161bs. There were also 6,100 sheep and lambs.
Mutton sold at 6d. per lb., and lambs realised about 60.
per lb.

CATTLE, itc.—Liucout.—The usual fortnightly fat
stock market, held on Wednesday last, was exceedingly
well supplied with Sheep, and, there being a good attend-
ance, most were sold, at somewhat advanced rates. A thin
supply of Beasts, which met with a ready sale;at prices a turn
in favour of the seller, realisin 61. to fle. 9d. per stone.

NEWARK.—At the Whitsuntide fair on Tuesday last
there was a goodly supply of Cattle of all descriptions. The
beet store Beasts sold readily, and milking Cows realised
121. to 141. each; but young Bess were rather a drug. A

good show of Sheep. Thu hest Hogs sold well, some
the wool as high as 425. each; in the wool, 3s.
ewes and lambs, 59a. to 60.5. per couple. The ll,,rse fair
was tilled with interior animas, but the few uwlul nags
sold well.

SALFOILD, June 2.—We had just a moderate supt.ly of
stock, and of fair if not superior tinahly. Licind our r„,,,
week, buyers did nut purchase In ely, and priers for Ike,
Mutton, and Lamb, were hardly maintained. There was e
considerable lot of inferior stock unsold.

being 134 more than last week. Demand also good, an
the attendance of buyers was numerous, with prices ep 3d.
