MARKETS.

COTTON.—LIVIRPOOL, FRB. I.—The sales to-day
amount to 7,000 bales, including 1,000 taken for export,
and 2,500 on speculation. The sales comprise about 6,000
American, 100 Pernam and Maranham, 6}d. to 714.; 300
Egyptian, 6d. to 10d.; 800 Surat, 31d. to 41d. The mar-
ket closes with animation, and, compared with Friday's
rates, prices of all kinds of American and Surat bate ad-
vanced ed. per lb. Other sorts less affected.
MANCHESTER. FEB. I.—There has been a considerably
improved demand for yarn, 104 20's water, and almost all
counts of mule twist range a farthing per lb. higher. One
cause of increased business is in the improved advises from
India, but the demand is very general, embracing the
home trade, and exports to India, China, the Mediterranean,
I and even to some extent to Germany. For 40'6, 60's, and
60's mule there is much inquiry, and these counts are very
scarce. In cloths there is also a considerable improve-
ment, India qualities being quoted lid. per piece higher.
The demand in cloth takes a wider range than of late.
Business closes with prices very firm, and some houses
have asked Id. per lb. advance for scarp yarns. The
cause of the advance is no doubt the rise in cotton at Liver-
' pool, based on the American advice to hand on Sunday ;
this rise having brought many orders for yarn and cloth
upon tho market, which would otherwise have been kept
back for the present.

MANUFACTURES.— BRADFORD, Feb. I.—W* have
again a brisk demand for all sorts of goods, but more par-
ticularly for the lower and middle qualities, the supplies of
which fell far short of the demand. Prices are improving,
and merchants aru willing to give orders to a considerable
extent, but manufacturers refuge from the fear of another
advance in wools.

WOOLS.—iIUDDRIISTIELD. Feb. I.—ln this branch of
our trade we are at present very busy and prices are stiffer ;
stocks are also uncommonly low, some of the leading house
having cleared out.

WOOLLEN CLOTH.—LanDs, Feb. I—The weather has
hem very foggy and dark this morning ; so much so, that
it was almost impossible to see an thing a few yards
distant. Ihe consequence is, there has been a very thin
attendance of merchants at the Cloth-hall, and a Bat and
quiet market.

CORN.—Reu., Feb. I.—The imports of the week
have been to a fair extent, but not in the excess
noticed at some other parts of the coast; con-
sequently we are without the extreme depression ob-
servable in those markets. Trade is inactive rather
than lower, and probably when the effect of the present
arrivals is worked off, we may see more tone and vigour in
the trade. For to-day's market we had a liberal supply of
Wheat from our own farmers, with only a small show of
foreign. Best runs of dry English were saleable at about
le. to 2e. decline upon the rates current last Tuesday, out-
of•conditioned samples quite neglected. Farmers were
unwilling sellers at the decline. There was only a retail
sale for foreign, without any quotable variation in the price.
Not much doing in Barley, but fair quality fetehes full
prim ; the sale for grinding is unaccountably limited.
Good Oats, for horse corn, are rather scarce, and free sale.
Beans without alteration, but for white Peas (boilers) rather
more demand. Notwithstanding a large supply of Linseed
the market is well supported. Cakes rather dull sale,
owing to an increased import of foreign, of which the mar-
ket for some months past has been unusually bare. Nothing
doing ',in Rapeseed, and for Cakes only a retail demand.
Bones are rather firmer. Imports from the 22nd to the
28th Jan.: Wheat, 3,6.50 qrs. ; •'rley; 1,435 ; Oats, 1,550;
Beans, 1,542; Peas, 139 ; Tares, 361; Linseed, 9,187;
Rapeseed, 695; Oil Cakes, 660 tons; Bones, 65.
LEEDS, Feb. I.—The show of Wheat is large to-day.
Buyers act on the defensive ; very few transactions take
place, and these are at fully Is. per. qr. below Friday's rates.
Barley is also lower, and demand limited. Oats and
Shelling decline, and Beans are slow sale at a reduction of
le. per qr. Other articles as before. Arrivals this week:
Wheat, 9603; Oats, 235; Barley, 1,632; Beans, 216; Peas,
1 168 ; Shelling, 28; Rapeseed, 495.

Livastroot., Fisa. I.—The arrival' from Ireland and
coastwise during the put week have been liberal
of oatmeal and fair of other articles. From foreign ports
we have received 17,890 quarters wheat, 2,667 quarters
barley, 2,290 quarters beans, 626 quarters pease, 200
quarters Indian corn, 6,069 sacks and 11,646 barrels flour.
The exports in the same time comprise 3,874 quarters
wheat, 928 quarters Indian corn, 1,490 sacks and 1,320
barrels flour. The trade has been extremely depressed
throughout the week, and during the last few days more
especially there has been considerable desire to realise, and
prices of wheat and flour have receded 2d. to 3d. per 70Ibe.
and Is. to 2s. per sack and barrel. Oats and oatmeal eon-
tinue to meet with an extremely small sale, although offered
on lower terms, and our stock of the latter article is rapidly
increasing. Indian corn also meets with very little atten-
tion, although holders would submit to a reduction of 6d.
per quarter to promote business. The weather has been
variable, but to-day it is fine with a hard frost. At this
day's market there was only a small attendance of millers
and dealers, and the busing& done in wheat and flour was
extremely limited, although offered at a reduction of 3d. to
4d. per 701bs. on the former and Is. 6d. to 2a. per barrel on
the latter article. Fine mealing oats were the turn cheaper,
and inferior fully Id. per 451bs. lower. Oatmeal was
pressed for sale et 22a. 6d. per load without effect. Barley
and pease, with a limited demand, were the turn in favour
of the buyers. Beane receded fully le. per quarter. Indian
corn afloat was held at 334. 641. per quarter for Galata, and
31s. 68. per quarter for Ibraila, but no transactions were
reported. Parcels ou the spot were quite neglected, and
obtainable on lower terms. Arrivals into Liverpool and
Runcorn from Jan. 25 to Jan. 31 inclusive : Wheat, 20,235
on.; Barley. 4,984; Malt, 6,133; Oats, 6,289; Beans,
2,836 ; Peas, 671; Indian Corn, 200 ; Oatmeal, 14,761 sacks ;
Flour, 7,029 sacks, and 14,926 brls. Exports to Ireland :
Wheat, 3,066; Indian Corn, 8.56; Flour, 1,140 sacks and
669 brls.

LYNX, Feb. I.—We have a fair quantity of Wheat and
Barley at market today, and the trade slow, at a decline of
Is. to 2s. per qr. upon Wheat, and about Is. per qr on
Barley.

Nawcsirri.u, Fe". I —The weather, which on Saturday
was exceedingly wet, has since become more settled, the last
two nights having been frost,. At our market this morn-
ing we had a fair supply of Wheat from the growers and
from the coast, as well as from abroad. We have to report
some acoession to our reosipte, which combined with the
dull reports from Mark-lane occasioned great Janda!' to
prevail at the opening of business ; but on a redaction of Is.
per qr. being submitted to transactions to a fair Watt 00.

curved. Flour met very little inquiry, and it is quite evi-
dent some:portion of the supplies will hart to be landed bef,re
a healthy tone is restored. 3Gs. may he deemed a very ex.
treme quotation for households, and 39.. for whites. In
Rye little stirring. Barley was a slow sale, with the turn
in favour of the buyer. Malt unaltered. Boiling Peas
more enquired fir, as were also Maples, the best qualities of
the former being worth 415., and the letter 365., interme-
ditto samples selling from 325. to 345., according to quality.
Oats the turn dearer.
Conn, Jan. 31.—We have to report another dull and in-
active week in the corn trade. Prime Wheats we quote 6d.
lower; secondary and inferior sorts, 9d. to Is. per 280Itn.
Barley in limited request, the tura in favour of buyers.
Oats a slow sale at a further decline of 2d. on last week's
quotations. We quote the price paid this morning-10s. to'
10s. 3d. for shipping white; 10s. 4el. to 10s. 6d. mealing ;
10s. to 10s. 2d. for black. In prepared and store Corn
nothing passing, though sellers are willing to meet buyers
at reduced prices; still the advices from England are so
dull that few are inclined to add to their stocks. Prepared
Wheat is offered ls. lower, at which some retail sales were
made. A few parcels prepared Barley sold at 15s. f.o.b.
We have not heard of a single transaction in prepared
Oats, though freely offered at lls. 6d. for white, and lls.
for black, f.o.b. Flour not lower, but nothing passing, as
bakers prefer working off the last sack, expecting a reduc-
tion; millers, on the other hand, do not press sales, as they
expect a re-action ere long. Oatmeal we note ss. per ton
cheaper. Indian Meal also declined 2s. Gd per ton, at
which a fair amount of business has been doing. The re-
ceipts of corn to the corn market during the week have
been : Wheat, 821 barrels, at 20s. to 275. per barrel ; Bar-
ley, 1,080, at 13s. 10d. to 14s. Bd. ; Oats, 5,469, at 9s. Gd.

CATTLE —REIGATE (SURREY), Feb. I.—There was
a short supply at this market to-day of both Beef and Mut-
ton. Prices for both were brisk at last week's rates. The
Veal trade experienced a further advance of 41. per stone
of 8 lbs. for the Calves of prime quality, and 2d. per stone
for large. The Pig trade for both porkers and stores was
good, porkers at 3s. 61. to 4s. per stone ; the best quarter
end six months old stores made from lc to 2s. per head over
last week's prices. Suckling Calves, 18s to 245. each. The
lean stock market was badly supplied, but those offered
were soon disposed of, prices having an upward tendency.
SALISBURY, Feb.:l.—At our market to-day the at-
tendance of buyers was rather numerous, and the
supply of Beasts, which was excellent in quality, was large ;
'but notwithstanding, which the demand fur the primest
Beasts was brisk, and quite adt quate to the supply, at the
extreme quotations of our last market. In other descrip-
tions of Beasts there was a steady demand, and a clearance
was totally effected, and we can nste no alteration of prices.
The supply of Sheep was small—less than ler many weeks
past—but very superior in quality, being chiefly South
Down Wethers, and which found ready buyers at the cur-
rency of last market. Inferior Sheep were also quickly di/-
pored of, and though prices had a downward tendency, we
Quote last market's prices. There was a good supply of store
Pigs, and small porkers, and there being a good attendance
of buyers, these kinds moved off steadily, fully realising
former rates. There were but few dead l'igs on offer, and
prices remain stationary. Veal also sustains its previous
value. Best Om Beef, 10s. per score ; second-rate, 9s. W.;
cow and heifer, 7s. to Bs. Down Mutton, 71d. per lb.; in.
ferior sorts, 6d. to 61d. Veal, 6d. to cp. Pork, 6cl. Car-
cass Veal, Bs. to 9s. per score ; Pork, Bs. to Si. 6d. Bacon,
7s. 6d.; green, per lh., 7d. to 71d. ; dry, 81. to 81d. Store
Pigs, Ns. to 25e. each.
