MARKETS.

COTTON.—Ltecznrooc, Jvsts 10.—The cotton market
during the present week has been disturbed by the political
affairs connected with Turkey, as well as by matter of less
serious moment of a local character, namely, the turn •out cit
the labouring porters of this place for an advance of wages.
Together these considerations have given a check to our pro-
ceedings, limiting the business very much to the mere
wants of the trade from day to day. On the other band,
the latest advices from the United States, whether regard
be had to the state of the markets in that country, to the
decreasing excess of receipts. or the proportion of the crap
coming to Great Britain, are calculated to strengtl-en the
hands, and give confidence to the holders. Witk regard to
prices, there is t.O material change in any respect. The large
proportion of ordinary American quality now landing sect
in stock, places that description at a disadvantage, while
middling, and all other qualities upward are firm and
steady. The same may be observed of Surats, Brazils, and
nearly every other kind. The somewhat uncertain descrip-
tion of Egyptian are without change in price, but not in
much demand. The committee of brokers place " fair "
Uplands at 6p., Mobile, at 61d. and Orleans at 61d.,
being the same as last week. 10,900 American, 220 Surat,
and 70 Egyptian, are reported to have been taken on spe-
culation ; 2,110 American, 370 Surat, 30 Madras, 150 Ben•
gal, 150 West Indies, 40 Maranham, and 120 Eetnam for
export. Sales for the week, 43,510 bales.

WOOL—LEEDS, JUNE 10.—In English wool there
has been very little doing this week, and prices are nomi-
nally the same as last week. In foreign wools, the deliveries
from tho recent London sales have caused more activity in
the market, and as previous rates have been maintained,
transactions have been more freely entered into. The
country manufacturers, however, still limit their purchases
very much to present wants. Prices remain without any
material alteration.

CORN.—Citxxstsrortu, June 10.—There was not a large
supply of Wheat at market to-day, and both millers end
merchants being brisk buyers, the prices made were from
Is. to 2s. per qr. higher than last week; red, 435. to 48s. ;
extra, 395.; white, 60s. to 525. ; extra, 535. Beans scarce,
and lc per qr. higher. Barley, none offering. Oats and
other spring corn sold rather better.
LINCOLN, June 10.—We have had a fair show of Wheat
at market to-day, the farmers asking more money. A clear-
ance was made, at an advance of 2s. per qr. on red, and Is.
for white. Scarcely any Oats showing. Beans scarce and
very dear. Wheat, red, 495. to 525. ; white, 621. to Ms.
Beans, 41s. to 435.

LivEneoot, June 10.—The copious rains we bad here on
Monday last has been followed in the coure of the week by
a few sprinkling showers, whilst, in most parts of the coun-
try, drought is still complained of; which, with the rumours
continuing to be promulgated relative to the important dis-
putation between Russia and Turkey, serve to produce
more sanguine expectations in the minds of the trade here,
and in Flour especially further coi.siderable business has
been transacted since Tuesday, on rather higher terms.
Wheat also has been held with increasieg firmness at steady
rates, all other articles up to this date remaining quite as
dear as before. In the provincial markets of this country,
whence we have received edifices within the last few days,
Wheat was invariably noted Is. to 2s. per qr. higher than last
week, and all other leading articles is' the trade improving.
Beyond a few small parcels of Oats, the arrivals into
this port, coastwise and from Ireland, since Monday last,
are perfectly insignificant, and those of Foreign produce
merely 7122 qrs. of Wheat, 1434 qrs. of Indian Corn, and
8916 barrels of Flour from the United States, with 3627
qrs. of Whcat from Odessa and Balchick. This morning'e
market was but slenderly attended in the absence of
speculative disposition to purchase Wheat, and most of
the millers having of late supplied themselves rather freely,
the sales of that Grain to-day are, in the aggregate, to a
moderate amount only, but at the extreme currency of
Tuesday ; fine and fresh Wheats are by no means plentiful,
and holders o such generally tenacious of our full quo-
tations. Several cargoes afloat, mostly of Danube de-
scriptions, have found buyers these few days. Flour
continues to be taken freely, chiefly for invest-
ment, at very full rates, and for choice lots of
Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Ohio 3d. advance is paid.
Egyptian Beans are again ls. per qr. dearer ; several cargoes
have been sold to arrive at 305., c. f. and i. In Oats a fair
business is doing at an improvement of I d. per 15 lbs. on
fine, hut ordinary sorts cannot be quoted higher, and Oat-
meal is dull at previous rates. Indian Corn, on the spot,
meets a slow demand at scarcely late prices ; there is rather
more inquiry for Mediterranean cargoes near at hand, but
no transactions are closed to-day. Arrivals from the 7th to
the 9th June, inclusive: Wheat, 10,719 qrs. ; Malt, 128;
O its, 2,023 ; Pea,, 76; Indian Corn, 1,434 ; Oatmeal, 65
sacks; Flour, 130 sacks, 8,916 brls. Exports from 7th to
9th June, inclusive: Wheat, 32.5 qrs. ; Indian Cora, 2,165 ;
Indian Meal, 362 brie.; Oatmeal, 188 sacks; Flour, 540
sacks, 1,245 brls.
WAKEFIELD, June 10.—The supply of Wheat still con-
tinues moderate ; there is a fair demand for all fresh
qualities at an advance of 2s. per qr. ; the chambered sorts
are held at a similar improvement, which somewhat checks
the sale ; holders, however, show great firmness. Barley
as before. Oats and Shelling rather creep up. Beans and
other articles without alteration. Imports during the week :
Wheat, 7,416 qrs.; Barley, 740 ; Oats, 310; Beans, 103 ;
Peas, 2; Shelling, 100 loads.

SUGAR.—The average price of Sugar, the produce of
the British possessions in America, computed from the re-
turns made in the week ending the 7th June, 1353, is
255. hl. Sugar, the produce of the Mauritius, 255. 314.
Sugar, the produce of the East Indies, 23e. 3d. The
average price of the three foregoing descriptions of Sugar,
jointly, is 2.55.

BRISTOL, JUNE 10.

Svo.►x.—The demand continues steady, and nearly all
the West India which has appeared at market this week
has been disposed of, prices being the turn in favour of the
buyer ; in foreign the sales reported reach about 4,000 boxes
yellow Havannabs floating, at easier prices; no sales in
Mauritius for want of n supply, there not being a bag in the
port unsold. The refined market continues moderately
firm, and stocks do not accumulate. In rum there is con-
siderable demand, and sales are reported ex ship at prices
which have not transpired, the stock is very light.

COALS.—Lownow, itt:ca 10.—Ships at market, GS;
sold, 51.—Date's West Hartley, 155.; Chester Main,

METALS.—Mr. Monte's circular states that in
Rails a good business is doing, with an upward tendency.
According 13 the American accounts brought by the last
mail, it is estimated that two•and-n-half million of
tons will be required for roads, now in progres in the
United States. Scotch Pig Iron in the early part of the
week, Fhowed a decline of Is. per ton, since which it has
rallied, and several thousand tons have been taken off the
market; the article leaves off firm at 525. buyers, and
525. 3,1. sellers, early cash. The shipments going on are
unprecedently large. Spelter having receded to 21/. 10s.,
has again shown a tendeaey to advance, and several par.
eels have been taken off the market, which leaves off at 22!.
buyers on the spot, and 221. ss. to arrive. Swedish iron is
I quite neglected. Lead is more inquired after. Tin is in
fair demand. Tin Plater, a good business doing.
