MARKETS.

LIVERPOOL. MARCH 20.
The rtes to-day are :—ln sugar, 100 boxes low yellow
Havana, 341. ; Rice, 700 begs Bengal, 10s. 3d.; Saltpetre,
60 bags at 235. Bd.

COTTON.—LIVERPOOL, MARCH 20.—The tales to-day
are estimated at 7,000 bales, of which fully 2,000 American
are balms for export. The remainder include 1350 Penmen
and Maranham aS 6jd. to 7jd.; 300 Egyptian, hel to 9jd. ;
and 600 Surat' at 3jd. to Sid. The import' Mace Thursday
arc 6,000 bales. '1 he market closes firmly, and compared
with Friday's rates, prices of American and all other kinds
are without change.
MANCRESTIR., MARCH 20.—We have had a rather im-
proved market to-day in consequence of the better tone im-
parted to the Liverpool cotton market by the advice* per
the Baltic mail steamer. These give a reaction in the
United States cotton market, notwithstanding much larger
arrivals from the cotton growing districts owing to the rase
of the rivers. At Liverpool the stock of cotton is now re-
duced to 337,000 against 603,000 bales at this time last year,
partly through a larger amount of speculation and partly
through heavy purchases by the trade here, who have been
anxious to secure stocks to meet the orders on hand at the
favourable rates which have prevailed. The excess of re-
ceipts at the American porta has begun to swell, and when
the Baltic left had increased to 170,000 bales, but this had
not stopped the favourable reaction of prices, and probably
will not lead to anT giving way here, unless trade should be
impeded very considerably by the political events likely to
arise out a general election—already beginning to be felt.
The favourable accounts from India have led to more busi-
ness both in yarn and sloth to-day, now that prices are
showing more firmness; and the news from South America
has combined with other circumstance, to produce a cheer-
ing effect. On the whole though the market is still rather
quiet, prices are firmer, and there is more business and
more disposition to do business than in the earlier part of
the week. The tone of the market, however, is more likely to
manifest itself fully on Tuesday, when the country manu-
facturers come upon the exchange.

WOOLLEN CLOTH.—Lrans, !Laken 20.—We tare
had a much better market Ito-day in both the cloth-bells,
and a fair average business has been done. Titers bas only
been a very moderate trade done in the warebonses during
the week.

HARDWARE.—litisetteonaw, MARCH 24.—A dull-
ness, very general, has roam over the trade here ; most of
the principal manufactures' report that trade is fla,, and
the report teems to be pretty much concurred in both by
factors and merchants. Several important markets were
it is feared glutted last year, or at least sufficiently charged
with our goods to cause a dull spring trade this season ;
the manufactories ere, however, most of them working
full time, so that at present slackness has been felt only to
• very slight extent ; it has been chiefly so in the light or
fancy trades. The dispute with the master gunmakers and
the operatives is still unfortunately unsettled.

NIIVCAOTLIA/PON-TTNE, March 20.-At our market
this morning we had a moderate show of Whearfrom the
growers and the arrivals coastwise being likewise trilling,
fresh thrashed parcels were taken effetely at a shade over
last week's prices, anything extra in some cases command-
ing Is. per qr. advance. In South Country qualities or
foreign little was done, holders being unwilling to accept
the prices offered, from a conviction that better terms wall
be made shortly. Flour a slow sale, with, however, rather
lees pressure, 804. however cannot be exceeded in a general
way for choice households where a disposition to sell exists.
In-Rye little stirring. Malting Barley ful u dear for
select samples, and rather lower for Intermediate qualities ;
whereas for grinding the demand has slightly revived, and
late terms are rather exceeded. Malt in limited request,
but not cheaper. Beans a shade higher, and the same may
be said of Maple Pus suitable for seed, for which 32e. to
34e. are willing:), given. Boiling sorts in moderate request,
and late figures are about maintained. Having a moderate
show of Oats front the growers, seed samples sold quickly,
at a small improvement, whilst good Scotch in warehouse,
weighing 411 b. per bushel, met attention, at 21s. per qr.

Nottwicw, March 20.—Our market this day was fairly
supplied with Wheat by the growers ; condition fair ;
de-
mond slow. Farmers did not press sales, as, being engaged
in Barley sowing operations, many preferred to wait the
result of a few market days rather than submit to lower
prices. The low wa: of the leading markets induced much
caution on the part of the millers, and wo call prices pre-
cisely the same u last market day. Flour met a fair sale,
f.0.b., at prices fully equal to last week. There was but a
limited amount of business tranlacted. Barley trade dull,
and but a small offer of prime lots; price a trifle in favour
of the buyer. Grinding descriptions were a fair sale, at
late rates. Beans and l'eu were a small offer, at erms
similar to last week ; not much changed hands. Oati were
in demand, and prime lots for seed commanded fully Is. per
qr. advance on the prices of this day week.

NOTTINGHAM, March 20.—We had not a very full mar-
ket here to-day, and the amount of business passing is
light. Our millers act with much caution, and buy spar-
ingly, and in most caries the turn is in buyers' favour.
Barley is now wanted for reed, and good samples only
make the rates of Saturday last. Beans keep at full prices ;
and Oats alp are morn in demand, good seed corn beirg
sought alter.

1"-rrannostocou, March 20.—We had a fair quantity of
Main hero to-day. Wheat and Barley was a slow sale, and
in some instances Is. per qr. lower. Oats and Beans the
same as last week.

READING, March 20.—Notwithstanding our supply of
Wheat was extremely limited it proved more than adequate
to the demand ; several lots remain unsold, although otlered
at a reduction of Is. per qr. from last market prices.
Seed Barley was inquired for, independent of which little
doing at late prices. The same observations will apply to
all other corn.
Wiesseu, March 20.—With a small supply of Wheat to-
day, last week's price. are fully maintained for all kinds.
With Oats and Beans we continue to be moderately sup-
plied, and former prices given. Wheat, white, 395. to 445. ;
extra, 465. per qr. ; red, 36v. to 425. ; extra, 435. Oat., lOd.
to lop. per stone. Beans, old, 325. to 3h. per qr. ; new,
30s. to 325.

WOIiCiSTZR, March 20.—There was a fair supply of
Wheat at market to-day, which realised fully the currency
of this day se'nnight. Barley about 61. per qr. lower. On
Oes the turn was in favour of the buyer. Beans fully as
dear. Peas dull.

YORL. March 20.-We have not quite so much Wheat
offering from our farmers to-day, but it is sufficient for the
demand; prices are unaltered. Barley slow sale, at
Is. per qr. decline. Beans and Oats without alteration.
Wheat, white, 425. to 465. per imperial qr. ; ditto red and
mixed, 395. to 42a. Barley, malting, 30s. to 325. ; ditto
grinding, 265. to 28s. Beans, 30s. to 325. Malt, 545. to 565.
Oats, 10d. to lON. per stone of 14 lbs. Flour, 30s. to 33..
per sack of 280 lbs.
Co*,e March 19.-The trade during the week has been
very dull and depressed, and the tendency is evidently to
lower prices. But little business has been transacted Many
article of grain, nor does there sent any disposition on the
part of buyers to make purchases. We have bad some arrivals
of Wheat and Maim, and these (but mainly perhaps the dull
advice, from Mark lane) have contributed to the depression
that exists. The supplies of home grain ate small, the receipts
for the week amounting to only : Wheat, 72 bls., at 20s. to
235. per brl. ; Bailey, 204, at 12s. 6d. to 14s. 6d. ; Oats, 2,007,
at 9s. 10d. to Ils Wheat is 6d. per barrel cheaper; Barley
is firm, and Oats are little altered in value. In foreign
Wheat very little business has been done, and with a dull
and depressed market we must quote the article &I. to Is.
per barrel lower. Barley continues scarce and firm.
In Oats we have not any transactions to report, nor can
we notice any amendment in demand or prices. Our
bakers having 'applied themselves last week, the trade this
week has been very quiet, prime samples of fine Flour only
commanding a sale. Coarse Flour however, continues in
very brisk demand. The trade in Indian Corn is dull, and
with but strafing business passing, we think the article
must be quoted 2s. 6d. per ton cheaper; the extreme value
of Galata being, we believe, 71. So. to 71. 7s. 6d. per ton.
. -

WATERFORD, March 20.-Our imports this week Con-
sist exclusively of Indian Corn, 900 qn. of which are from
France. In supplies of farmers' grain we have to note a
further diminution, with a decline in the value of Wheat
of 3d. per barrel since Saturday last. Oats have not un-
dergone any reduction in price but their sale, owing to the
dull accounts from the Englishisarkees, is anything but ac-
tive. Foreign Wheat continues in very limited demand, and
thongh we do not quote it cheaper, little or no progress can be
made in its disposal without submitting to some abatement.l
Indian Corn : There has been rather more inquiry fur all
descriptions during the last day or two, at the full currency
of this day se'nnight, but any attempt at higher prices has
been firmly resisted by purchasers. Flour: Superfine, difil-
cult to quit, except at a decline of 6d. to Is. per qr. ; infe-
rior qualities maintain late rates. Present quotations:-

KIRKCALDY, March 20.—The weather during the week
has been dry, and latterly inclining to frost ; some farmers
have commenced sowing Oats and Barley, others wait for a
little moisture before sowing Oats, particularly on the dry
lands. At our country markets, this week farmers were so
touch engaged, that we had literally no grain of any kind
offering; excepting perhaps a few samples of Oats for seed.
Prices nominally u last week. liere, to-day, we had small
supplies of all kind, of grain ; sales quick for Barley and
Oats, but slow for Wheat, in consequence of high
rates being asked ; prices, however, were higher for every
kind of grain ; ordinary parcels, 6d. per qr. higher, seed
parcels, Is. to 2e. per qr. higher. Wheat, Ma to Vis. 6d.
