MARKET&

TALLOW.—ThbaliDav Evumo,—The market was
quiet to-day at the wearied quotations:—Spot, 475. 3d. ;
February to March, 475. to 475. 3d. ; March, 475. 6d.
to 47a. 9d. April to June, 475. 6d. ; October to Deoember,
48e. 6d. ; July to September, 48a. Delivery to kat emir
log, 891 maks ; arrivals, 520 make.

COTTON.—Lmaroot, JAN. 30.—We have had a fair
amount of business today, with steady prices. The aides
are 10,000 bales, including 5.610 American, 9d. to 14d. ;
4.000 Burst, 54d. to 101 d. ; 350 Egyptian, 104 d. to 144 d.;
40 Ilaranham, 1211; of which 5,000 are for speculation
and expert. The week's import is 9,539 bales.

WOOL AND WORSTED.—Brunenin, Jar. 30.—The
demand for wool continues very small. Puniness ere (sly
made for immediate and pressing wants. There is se satire
absence of speculation. Some staplers are inclined toyiekl
a slight concession where there is a probability of effecting
sales. This is particularly the case in lustre wools. The
yorn trade is in a very unprofitable condition. There is a
steady demand to supply the current wants of manufac-
turers, but no speculative feeling. The export merchants
are doing little or nothing. The piece market wean the
same upset. There is little now doing, still the manufac•
turers are well employed to order, chiefly for the French
market, and will be so for some time to come. The work.
people continue generally well employed. The uumber of
ordinary poor in receipt of relief at this time lest yeor was
2,719, aud there is 2,257 at present, so that there are now
fewer by 462.

HOSIERY AND LACE.—NorrrscuAti, JAN. 30.—We
cannot report so favourably of either of the staple trades
of this district as we were able to do last week, the scar-
city and dearness of the raw materials becoming a more
serious question every day. There is a less amount of
trade doing in nearly all kinds of lace goods than at the
same period of 1861 ; and there is no shutting our eyes
to the fact that the rrospecta for the future are gloomy
enough. The same remarks apply to the hosiery trade, the
price of cotton being so variable that spinners and menu-
facturers. wholesale and retail dealers scarcely know how
to act in the interests of themselves and those dependent
upon them. Many hosiers experience a positive difficulty
is placing orders for cotton ; moil, though stocks in Londou
are becoming very low, the workpeople generally are only
employed half time.—Nottinpkams Amnia/.

CORN.—Mmeminisren, JAL 30.—This day's market was
thinly attended, and sesirosly any disposition manifested to
operate in wheat or flour. Holders of the former were
firm in requiring last week's rates for English, but foreign
was offered at a decline of 3d. per rental. Flour, in the ab-
sence of any demand, must be quoted 6d. to Is. per sack
lower. Oats and oatmeal had each a dragging sale, with
the tendency of prices downwaid. For beans and Indian
corn a fair inquiry wasexperleneed at the previous currency.
BrIIMINCHAM, Jan. 30.—At this day's market rather
more English wheat was offering, and the turn in price
was in favour of the buyer, but we have no alteration
in our quotations. Foreign ls. cheaper. Barley unaltered.
Rather more inquiry for oats. Beans firmly held. Pose
maintained their value.

DEVIM, JAN. 30.—We had a small supply of wheat,
most of it being greatly out of condition from the wet wea-
ther ; what few perfectly dry samples there were sold very
freely at lest week's prices, while all lower qualities met a
vary dull sale, but were uo lower in price. The beat barley
earthe turn dearer than last week, and wi th a better dem*
inferior qualities were not so saleable, baton the whole wade
was better. Wheat, best, Ms. to 63a. per qr. ; mem&
do., 40a ,to 54a. ; barley, 30e. to 435. ; oats. Me. to 33a.
brae, ads. to Bea ; peas, 425. to 46e. ; dour. des (per
sack), 435. to Ms.; ditto seconds, 43e.t0 Os.
NNWA!A, JAN. 23.—Farmers to-day refused ants of L.
