MARKETS.

oorros.—Lmatroot., MARCH s.—We have to report
a quiet *ad doll market to-day ; prime uuchauged. The
sale. are 4,000 bake, of which 1,000 are for exportand spent-

corrox GOOO9.—MANCIMITIR, MARCH 5. The
cotton yarn and cloth market has laboured wider great de-
pression tbroughoat the week. Yarns for export es well es
tor home use, and domestics, T cloths, cog cloths, shirt-
Mee, printers, madapollama, and yaoonets, though not
quoted lower in price, could not be sold without some con-
ossion to the buyer. Nor does it appear likely that we
shall have any speedy improvement. Buyers have still •
strong impreeMen that the tends/icy of values, as the
quantity of cotton Increases, will be lower, and in their
present mood of cautiousness would not be tempted to ope-
rate by any moderate concession in price. On the other
hand the holds,, of cloth (where sot compelled to realise),
are disposed to believe that prices will not go much, if say,
lower, so bag es stocksoontinue as light as at preeest under-
stood to be. For the coutinent busing= is almost at a steed.
The Genuine have executed some trials; orders for yarns
to be forwarded at ono* ; but for other markets, both home
sad foreign, the only often making during the last few
days have been at prime so low as to be regarded rather as
tests of the feelings of *ellen. than as t,md side attempts to
operate. As is usually the case, when depression is long.
continued, prices are becoming very irregular.

WOOLLEN.--Lane, Masai s.—There has been a
decided improvemeet in the coloured ball this morning, the
attendance of buyers and manufacturers being good., and
a fair amount of business has bees dose in light-ookstred
mottoes and tweeds ; there have also been several trans-
' actions in dark molten'. Several panels of milled wool
black and coloured cloths hove changed kende. The state
of the White Market has this morning base very depressed,
nothing worthy of further *otitis having taken place.
TEA.—The import of tea for the past mouth has been on
a liberal "ode, amounting to about 20,000,000 It.. ; and corn.
prises a fair supply of those kieds most required to meet
the export demoted sow springing up. During the current
week the attention of the trade has been chiefly occupied
with the public sale, which oortinieecod on the Ist instant
and eoseluded yesterday. It consisted of 41,009 package.
(22,5 being " without reserve"), and has resulted in the
latter portion being sold at full market rat's. The market
has ermined a healthier toes, with rather a etrengthening
appearance; the relief that has recently been imparted to the
money market, and the prospect of a check to tea shipments
is China, having inspired the importers with greater oon-

HABDWARE.—BERMINGI4III, Maim s.—The trade of
this town is not quite so active as it was a week or two ago.
Since the second week atter Christmas orders have come is
steadily, and the ormatry shopkeepers, haviog stocked them
selves with goods sufficiently to meet immediate require-
meets, are waiting the further development of the prospects
of the spring trade. But notwithstanding the slight lull
which has taken place the manufacturers generally are
pretty well employed, and have sufficient order. on their
books, with such as are sure to come in hereafter, to keep
them going up to the end of the quarter. The prinopal
exceptions to this are in the fancy trades, in
which business I. quiet. In one or two other
branches also a certain amount of slackness is felt,
but no more than is incidental to the season.
So far as this tow, is concerned there can be no doubt but
that this the first quarter of the year has bete a good use
for trade, and that manufacturers' 'Marne will be larger
than they have been of late years. At this moment, when
there are some complaint, that trade is dull, the amount
disbursed in wages weekly at many of the principal eeta-
blishmeats is larger than usual. In the foreign department
business continues quiet, the continental trade being un-
favourably affected by the cs Riad position of affairs in the
north of Europe. The West India mail brought a fair
supply of orders from that quarter, some of which ere from
the British Islands. To America there is not much doing, nei-
ther is there with Canada for the spring shipment. Theetate of
trade is the adjoining district, is mare or let matideolory ;

in no branch of say importimeOlosiarything like slarkver
prevail. The casting trade is brisk ; for hollow ware theft
is a good demand, but the West Bromwich trade is suffer.
log to some extent by roman of the high price of material,
which 'specially affects the ironfoundry trade. For railway
flttinplhere is a good demand ; the saddlers' ironmongery
at Walsall ars busy, and on the Dudley aide all the larye
works ars in full operation. The fall in the price of cow-,
which took place a day or two ago has been followed by
reduction in the price of ro lied metal, including bran wire
and tubing. _ . _

MiliCA211.171:11.0111-TTIIR, MARCH s.—At our market this
morning we bad a much less supply of wheat from the
onestry, and notwithstanding the condition wag various,
clearance was briskly effected at the extreme rates of this
day anusight. South country and foreign were held for lull
pricer, which had the affect of limiting business. Flour

NORWICH, MARCH s.—There was only a fair supply of
wheat at this market to-day, and the condition being affectol
by the state of the weather, the tied' ruled dull at lest
week's rates, aad but little imsioess was tnumacted. The
supply of barley, which consisted princirally of secondary
malting qualities, was rather larger than of late, and the
trade continued very languid ; the beat malting sort. about
maintained former prices. White wheat (weighing 63Iba.
to 661 M.), 445. to 475. ; red ditto (weighing 631 b. to

NOTTINUHAR, MARCH 3.-There was a very fair show
of wheat, samples ocening to hand is variable condition
the weather baring been damp during the week. The
demand ruled dull, and the best sorts were about the same ;
inferior rather lower. Old white aorta were taken otf at
41a. to 445. • old red, 36e. to 42a. ; new white, 425. to
475. ;anew nil, 392. to 42a. per 36 atone. There was

Prisanonoutin, Kamen 6.-We had • fair show of wheat
here today, buyers tried to get them lower, but could
not suwee and there was, in oottesquenee, but little buir
sees dons. Barley and beans maintained late rates ; but
oat', owing to the great quantity offering, were rather
easier to buy.
READUN, MARCH 5.-Little can be said of our market
this atoning. At its opening the dulness of the peat weeks
prevailed. A very small attendance ; a short supply of all
sorts of grain ' • the little trade done was at last week's
prior, both in barley and wheat ; for seed wheat there was
• sliaht demand, and prices firmer.
ROCHIB7I3I, MARCH 5. Seco odery and inferior kinds of
pain were about 6d. to Is. per quarter cheaper. For best
white wheat the tams were 445. to 47a., and red, 40e. to
43• per quarter • inferior red, 375. to 40e. ; and white, 401.
to 44a. per quarter. Much of the wheat remained unsold
et the close of the market. The barley trade wee in a very
depressed condition, and only the beat parcels for malting
maintained late rates-the terms for which were 355. to
32a, and grinding 26e. to 295. per quarter. Oat, were a
fair show, and the article being in moderate request late
rates were obtained, beet sorts realising 20s. to 235., and
where 16s. to 20a. per quarter..
WIRAIRCH, MARCH 5. -We continue to be fairly supplied
with all grain at our market. Wheat meets with demand
at last week's prices, and farmers evidently are reluctant
@ellen at anything noder 403. for our beet reds. Oats,
beans, sod peas each partook of the suns dolmas, and must
be called rather cheaper.
WORCRIMIZ, MARCH 5. -At this day's market there WY
a less supply of wheat, and the rummy of this day se'a•
night was nearly maintained. Barley, oats, beau., and pees
nominally unaltered. with wiry little doing in either except
for

Yong, Mance s.—Three was about an average show
of wheat foe the time of the year, and the attendance
of the trade was moderate. Sales were made languidly.
Previous rates were, however, made for the beet samples.
Prices for new white ranged from 40s. to 444 ; for new
37a. to 40s. pee 36 oboe. Barley came to hand rather
freely, but there warn not much life is the trade, and buyers
supplied their want, at quite as little mosey as last week ;
malting, 221 e. to 33. per quarter ; grinding, gds. to 275, pet
30 stone. There was a fair sprinkling of cam, business in
which wee quMoeiet at handy fenner quotations ; new, 13e. to
201. t. per 24 !. _ .

KARCALDT, MAWR 5.-At our wintry markets this week
we bad leaseeed supplies of grain, particularly of barley ;
deemed, however, errednues slow, and to make miss of
wheat lower prices require to be submitted to. Barley sad
oats remain much as last week. Here, to-day, with viry
lessened supplies of all kiudsof grain, we lied a rather better
eras( nierluet than last week, without any change in prices.
Wheat, 30s. to 41a. per qr. ; barley, 'Ms. to 31a. ; oats,
15e. 6d. to 23e.

WATIIPORD, Maws s.—Tbh week we must report a
slow dragging trade for nearly all articles, and holders have
again submitted to rather lower prices. This is partly sc.
counted for by the pretty free spliet of homegrown
grain. which eta be purchased oonsiderably wider preanit
rates of foreign. Webs,. no foreigu arrivals to mention,
tad the receipts coastwise do not show any material in•
crises. Wheat—lrish 3d. to sd. per barrel cheaper,
Foreign in restricted demand, and all varietiss is favour of
buyers. Oita, with iocreased deliveries, h►ve slightly de-
dined la valets. Indian core—There u still a limited con
tumuli,. inquiry, bet with the depressed amounts from
the Isiah* markets we are obliged to reduce our quotations
for all desatiptioan Flour very dull. Imports this week :
Wheat, 12 qrs. ; barley, 93 ; flour, 130 sack/. Exports
this week :—Wheat, 8$ barrels ; oata, 7,298; flour, 603
