MARKETS.

CrYTTON.—Lrrearom, JAR. 4.—There is a good demand
for cotton to-day, sad the market but poorly supplied, at
extreme prices. The sales are 15,000 Wes, including
9,700 Americas, Md. to 13d. ; 5.000 Surat, 64d. to 104 d.
300Fgyptian, 124 d. to 18d. ; of which B,OOD are far
speculation and export.

CCTTON GOODS.—Matecuents, Joie 4.— TM toss of
the market has gradually gained in !bane s, and prier
have rhea during the past week, r the probabilities of
pros with America have increased, and at preas.t the is
great stiffness on the part of bolder in nearly all bream
of the trade, alaig with a very general reorient of busi-
ness. In the cloth market there is great irregularity in the
quotations now current, some manufacture's having mimed
their terms in proportion to the advance in yarns or is or.
ton. Purchren follow the upward movement very tardily.
Doine.tice and shirting for India can be more readily sold
than last week at the prices then ruling ; but the
fresh advance during the last few days has greatly limited
the amount of business. Printing clothe an in a rather im-
proved position, there being a better demand for the home.
trade. in addition to the one or two oonsidenbler tramp
arras on American account, referred to in ear report yes-
terday. The yarn market is very isarive, owtsc to the
rise of prices. The boar trade boors NMI VIM* to
operate at rather higher figures than they wo:Lafte early
in the week, but the export member. are mock

India, Chink or Owe/W. Mackbun, aatztsrP.
from lin to 40's have been bought to a moderake at
Id. to id. per lb. higher than Tuesday's rates. Doubled
yarns are steadier.

HARDWARE.—ltmentotaw, Jam 4.—The Inds of
this town is remarkably dull. Many of the miumfacturms
have been in partial operation only dean the poet week.
1104 i at present very few orders ham ever in on isesenat of
the home trade, and the merchants' milme in heed are if
possible smaller. At many of the neenedeplcoles deck.
taking has not yet coscludecl, sad for the next tem ass throe
weeks there is so other expectation than that bier will
be slack. The fancy trades are undoubtedly selferiscg the
most, but in all the staple bombes of as menedestsmes
complaints are general. From the eijsksing aids. of
South Staffordshire and East Wcwamilmsiies Ns regale
are all to the effect that business is more or lees skipmeed ;
and the quarterly assemblies of the hammier', whisk com-
mence at Wolverhampton on Wednesday, are expected to
be as quiet as possible. The demand for the best breeds
of finished iron is moderate ; inferior qualities are slow of
sale at low prices as compared with the trade seals. The
new joint.etook bank (limited) recently projected le this
town, opened for business on New Tear's day.

GUILD/011A lAN. 4.—The supply of wheat wee spits
only moderate. Priam are without change, exoso fee some

to 66e.; new white. 665. to 705.; old red, 56e. to 60s. per 36
steam. Of barley the show was middling, and the inquiry

may be quoted at 345. to 38s. per qr.; grialteg, 30e. he nt.
per 30 atone. The demand for oats (of which the show we.
