geon : R. Evans, confirmed to Blotilscins. Clerk's-Assist-
ants C. Edwards, to Victory; and A. C. Archdeacon, to
Imperious.. Master's-Assistant: A. M. Mould, to Victory.
MOVEMENTS, FEB. 9.—At Lisbon, found at anchor,
the Sans Pareil and Inflexible. At daylight, the latter
went out to tow in the distressed Dutch bisque Byrius.
Her Majesty's steamer Antelope at Gibraltar on the 4th.

COTTON.—LIVERPOOL, Fan, 17.—The sales today are
estimated at 6,000 bales (including 500 for export and 1,000
on speculation, all American). They comprise 200 Pernam
and fdaranham, at 61d. ; dOO Bahia, at 6,0. so. ; 300
Egyptian, at 71d. to 101 ; 700 Surat, at 31d. to 41d. The
market closed steadily, but tamely. Compared with the
rates of Friday, price. of American, under 51d. of the
current run of finalities are ad per lb. down, but solid good
stapled cotton is scarce, and from 6d. to 6fel. even dearer.
Other sorts are unchanged.

IfIeNCBUTZR, Fie. 17.—ne market continues very
quiet, and priers, where there is any .change, are rather
easier. The fancy trade are preparing for the spring trade,
and continue to take off large quantities of printing clothe,
and these maintain their value steadily. For shirting
clothe there is also sufficient demand to support prices ; and
the yarns from which these fabrics are made are in fair
request. Other kinds of yarn and cloth (excepting the
higher counts and better qualities of the former) are a
shads lower. There is a moderate business for export, but
so far as India qualities are concerned there is less business
than there has been for some weeks past.

WOOL.—BIADIORD Feb. 17.—The opening of the sales
of Colonial Wools in London, at an advance of Id. per lb.
on October sales, makes the holders here finis, as the cost of
transit, difference in payment, and otker expenses, will '
bring the small stock they hold to an advance of 2d. to
cover expenses of replacing; but it is with difficulty
the increased prices are realised. In English Wools
there is but little doing ; all appear holding off,
and working from stock bought at the close of
last year ; but as this stock is daily increasing, fur-
titer supplies will be required, and a conflict between the
buyers and sellers is inevitable, before any active buying
will be apparent. The accounts of the doings in the coun-
try arc not of a character to justify holden to press their
stocks on the market. It is usual for the staplers here to
move off their surplus supply prior to the opening of Bristol
fair, the first Wednesday in March, but this season is an
exception to the rule, as the activity of December and
January has made supplies considerably less than anal at
this period of the year.—Bradford Observer.

MANUFACTURES.— BRADFORD, Feb. 17. Yams :
The spinners generally are complaining that all things con-
nected with their avocation are thoroughly against them.
The decided firmness of all kinds of English Wools, and
the advance on colonial, the extravagant price of Gallipoli
nil, now 70 per cent. higher, makes a considerable addition
to the price of the top, and increases the cost of yarns at a
period when the shippers' limits cannot be met. The buyen on
spool using leas, in consequence of the high price, there seems
to be no alternative but an abridgement in the production.—
Pieces : There is certainly more inquiry among the mer-
chants for goods, and where lots are offered at old prior
they are freely accepted. But for the staple articles for the
spring and summer trade, there is no unwillingness to order
at prices which will cover cost. In heavy goods, all wool,
the market is firm, as this class has not advanced equal to
the cost in producing, and the supply in the market is
limited.—Bradjord Observer.

CORN.-13tnatgaxam, FEB. 17.—At Gloucester mar-
ket, on the 10th, the wheat trade ruled firm at the cur-
rency of the previous week. At Worcester, same day, an
advance of is. per quarter was obtained on all descriptions
of English. Barley maintained its value. More doing in
oats, at former prices. Beans scarce, and ls. per quarter
dearer. Very little inquiry for peas. Daring the present
week, wheat of all kinds has been held with mach firmness,
and good samples of new have sold readily at an improve.
ment of Is per quarter, but this has not extended to old or
to foreign. Barley in short supply, and tending upwards.
Only limited parcels of oats have changed hands.. No alte-
ration in beans. Peas dull, and difficult to quit. There
was a fair supply of wheat at market to-day ; old was fully
as dear, and fins samples of new realised rather more money.
Higher prices were demanded for barley, but could not be
obtained. Oats sold slowly at the currency of this day
se'nnight. Beans the turn dearer. Peas Is. per quarter
lower. _ _

Batagor., Fiss.l7.-The market has not been so well sup-
plied to-day with English wheat, but most of the samples
offering have evinced improved quality, and bean in better
condition than has generally been the cue with the growth
of the last harvest in this district. The demand has been
pretty good, and the market has been characterised by
much firmness, prices haying recovered from the lowest
point of depression to the extent of fully Is. per quarter.
Flour partook of the improvement upon wheat, and being
of tolerably ready sale, holders were enabled to realise 6d.
per sack more money for English, and proportionally upon
foreign. There was a good market for malting barley, and
sellers for good qualities were enabled to obtain some ad-
vance upon the late currencies. Grinding parcels met
with a steady sale at the full prices of this day re'nnight.
There was a fair consumptive demand for beans
at unaltered value. Of oats our stocks are good,
and the demand not being brisk sellers sub-
mitted
to a reduction of about sixpence per quarter.
The prices were as follows :-English new wheat, 40s.
to 48s. per imperial quarter ; ditto, old wheat, 50s. to
565. per ditto; foreign, white, 525. to 565. per 4801hs. ;

475. per ditto. English seconds flour, 365. to 38,. Od. per

English malting barley, 355. to 38s. per imperial quarter;
English and foreign grinding ditto, 275. to 28s. per
4001bs. Devon and Welsh feed oats, 18s. to 19s. per
imperial quarter; Irish white, ditto, 191. to 20s.
per 3201b5. ; Irish black ditto, 181. to 18.. 6d. per im-
perial quarter. English beans, 38s. to 425. per ditto ;

being meetly on the new ; a good clearance was made.

qualities sold very readily at an ad ranee of nearly le. a qr.,

NEWAILL Feb. 16.-There has been a tolerably
numerous attendance at our Corn Exchange, although
the weather during the whole of the day was most unfavour-
able. The supply of samples was very good, and Wheat of
all qualities was moderately in demand, and, although we
may not report any absolute rise in price from last week,
yet the tenor of the market was steadily firm and improving.
Barleys were fairly sought after and sustained last week's
I value. Spring corn met with a moderate business at former
rates. Other articles unchanged. Wheat, white, 51s. to 475. ;
