COTTON GOODS.--raNateovea, Ysua 24.—The
cloth market is without change since Tuesday, and there is
no new feature worth noting. Buyers are keeping their
coders back as keg as they ma, in the expectation of lower
pikes. As rocks begin to accumulate manufactwer are
more anxious to sell, and prim are weaker. in shipping
yarns there has been a rather better feeling, and the de.
prergion observable on Tuesday has in acme memoirs pored
away. The Germans have bean doing rather more bur-
ners, and also shippers to others of the nester marker.
Nothing doing for loth; ; the merit closes rather brier
than it was on Tuesday. In home trade yarns the prior of
common qualities are weak, but good qualities are firmer.
without much doing. The market hoe been of a holiday
character, and be; few spinners sod manufacturers have
attended.

WOOL AND WORSTED.—B&►nroao. llama 24.
There is • good demand today for most classes of wool.
Brigbt•haired wools are still most in request, both hogs
and wailers obtaining extraordinary prices. Down wools
are, if anything, neglected, as compared with other sorts.
There is some degree of excitement a the wonted nun
&penman, For some weeks pat there has been a rimier
tendency in quotations, caned for the most part by the
upward direction in the prices of wool, but tod►y this ten-
dency is accelerated by • more brisk demand for most do-
scriptiona of yarn. Circled yarns are is needy request.
There is • good business in 40's for Ronk, and for 2i's
sod 30's mingle for Germany. There is also • good business
doleg for home sod for Lancashire. As we line stated,
the quotations have bea upwards for several weeks, sad
are still higher today—e• much as 9d. to la. • groin over
the prices of • month ago. Transaction to-day have been
unimportant, and busioess in the warehouses of the home
merchants is not very brisk. Wen it not for the coati-
'mous American demand and a steeiy business for China,
manufacturers would had themselves in a very uneatisfao-
ton position. As it is, the alienate of the German and
other important consumers is scarcely felt, and prices keep
up with unparalleled firmness.

LACE AND HOSlERY.—NormtneAv, lf tare 24.
Lie hut week has not been .43 qwet se the preceding one,
but anything like animation is checked by the contiou 1
coldness of the weather, and the once:W.lV which pee-
ves about the result of the Dano•German veer._ TM borne

trine especially fiat; there is little or nothing doing
with Franoe and Germaoy, but rather more with America.
la some branches of the hosier/ trade, especially in shirts
and pant-doom, we hare to report so improved demand for
export. There has been another quiet week at the London
houses, but on the whole there is • better feeling is
the trade.notwitbstanding the firmness of yarns, and nothing
has yet occurred to damp the prospects which are genere'ly
entertained of an attire April trads.—Nottingham Journal.

Drears, 'Alsace 24.—We had a small market of wheat
to-day, and rather a thin attendance—farmers, owing to the
fine weather, being much mileages' in field operations. We
cannot vary our report from last week, although a better
tone seemed to prevail in the trade, and the business dose
was at fully former rates—in some partial instances at a
slight advance. A full market of barley, bet very few
bright samples. Tito trade was generally speaking heavy,
at about former quotations. Beans were in better request,
without change in price. Oats sad peas a heavy male, at

from America have bees received at Liverpool this week,
while those of the latter article from France are lees exten-
sive than of late. Of other grain from abroad the receipts
are small. The attendance at our market tbis morning was
only limited. MiUers wanted to buy wheat on somewhat
lower terms, which holders, whether of English or foreign,
not being willing to submit to, but little business occurred.
Hour was neglected, missy change in value was in (avow
of buyers. Oats and oatmeal met a slow sale at barely late
rates. Egyptian betas were firm, and in English no change
can be noted. lodise oern was steady.
