MARKETS.

COTTON.—LivnirooL, FEB. 12.—The sales to-day
have been evtituuted at 6,000 halve, and comprise 5,000
American, (000 for export, and 1,000 on speculation) ; 600
Pernam and Dfaranham, 61 to 63 (500 for export) ; 300
Egyptian, 61 to 81 ; and 500 Burets, 3g to 4f.. The market
closed tamely, yet steadily, with no change la yesterday's
quotations.

Mageturavue, Faa. 12.—We have had a quiet market,
but prices are steady at the rates obtainable on Tuesday
and Thursday. Shirting cloths of 33 and 40 inches wide
continue in fair demand, and there is no change in price. In
printing cloths there is also a good business. The fancy
trade houses are now engaged extensively in preparations
for the spring trade, and consume large quantities of
printing cloths of ell makes and qualities, which maintain
their price with much firmness. In domestics and T cloths
there is not so much steadiness; in fact, these goods are
to about the worst position of any in the market. There
has been a rather flat yarn market, but still it is in a
better position perhaps than that fur cloth. Manufacturers
and exporters take yarns in Mal quantities, but the cur-
rent demand, with the addition of orders placed some
weeks ago and still having some time to run, gives a good
deal of stability to prices. Water twist, whether in warps
or bundle, goes off well, sod mule twist is rather scarce
in stock. India houses aru waiting the arrival of their
letters by the Overland Mail before increasing their busi-
ness much farther; should these ; nd the advice, from the
American cotton markets be favourable, uu Tuesday next
we shall probably witness a considerable increase of
activity.

WOOLLEN CLOTII. LEEDS, FEB. 12.—Thin has
been a fair average market in the Cloth-hall trday. The
late advance in the price of goods hu had a tendency to
check sales, and it is believed that, should a further rise in
wools take place, it will considerably embarrass the wool-
len sloth tradv—upecially as it concerns the manufacturers,

who are already bo.rne dole"' to the lowest possible rato of
remuneration. In the wa.ebouses a good business is doing,
especially by the shipping houses.

HARDWARE.—Blitstmonam, Fee. 12.—A1l the re-
ports of the condition of the various trades in this town
and in the district are fully as satisfactory as they have been
for the last five or six months. We have not heard of a
single branchwhere anything approaching to dullness exists ;
at all the manufactories the men are working full, and in
many instances over time. The factors generally report
favourably of the home trade,' many of thtm having very
large ceders unexecuted, accepted at prices before the gene-
ral advance took place—that advance is, however, very
freely given by buyers of all sorts. Tho merchants are all
busy, the foreign trade being very brisk, with the excep•
time of Germany, from whence the orders have been scanty
for some time. There are some very good Smith
American orders in, and the Levant trade, slack for some
time, is now in a much more promising condition. There
is a rumour in relation to the iron trade that it is some-
what latter ; we doubt whether this has any real founda-
tion; certainly so far as Staffordshire iron goes, especially
bars, hoops, sheets, and rails, we have been unable to bear
of any having been sold below the prices currently quoted ;
indeed, the large orders in hand would seem to render such
an occurrence highly improbable. Doubtless there has
been a very large amount of speculation, and there may
have been a little bolstering of prices, but we feel assured
that no decline in the market value of Staffordshire iron
has yet taken place. Neither does there seem to be any
probability of a decline in the demand at present, the
quantity required for Intiia and America is so large, and
for the newly projected' railways at home it is not
likely to bo inconsiderable, without taking into account
the enormous consumption (at present only beginning)
for the manufacture of tubes for sanitary purposes, all over
the kingdom. The cons•ruction of houses of iron bids fair,
too, to become a vary important branch of manufacture ;
this will of course greatly augment the already increasing
demand for the commodity, so that no very available reduc-
tion in its price can reasonably be expected for some time to
come. The din rit t supply of coal is still far below the de-
[lvied for it, and large quilitities are weekly imported from
Derbyt h:re and Licestershire; slack now litchis nearly as
much as the ordinary average price of largo coal, the best
quality of which has been acid in the neighbourhood u high
as 18s. per ton.

CORS.—Cmcnuitioz, Feb. 12.—With the exception of
Barley, •hick was 1•. d , there was no alteration in the

prices about the same as last week. Wheat, white, new,
20s. 6d. to 21s 6.1.; old, 203. 6.1. to 21a. 6d. ; red, new,

COLCHE3Tra, Feb. 12.—A good suppiy of Wheat and
short of other grain; the former, if dry and of tine quality,
fully supported last week's value • otter detcriptious dull.
Btrley, Beaus, and Peas unalterea.

Gmirctsreu, Feb. 12 —With a limited attendance at to-
day's market, and a moderate show of English Wheat,
millers pad an advance of fully Is. per qr. upon this des-
cription. Foreign is held firmly at last week's prices.
Beans and Peas firm. Barley less inquired for, the supply
of English sufficing fur the immediate wants of the trade.
Of Oats, arrivals are good, and the few sales effected are at
6d. per qr. less money. Imports of the week ending Feb.
12: Wheat, 1,771 qrs.; Baxley, 112; Oats, 3,9119 ; Beans,
266; Peaa, 866.

Gl' ILIIFOR% Feb. 12.—Our market was again well-sup-
plied with Whe.it, which was in brisk demand, and brought
an advance of ls. per qr. Prices for other grain continue
firm. Wheat, Ns. to 661.; old, 60s. to 61s. Barley, 265.
to 335. Oats, 17s. to 21s. Beans, 311. to 40s. Peas, 335.
to 40s.

MANCHESTER, FEB. 12.—During the week the trade
has continued in a very inanimate state, but on the
part of holders a feeling of greater confidence has gradually
gained ground, and the downward tenders y in prices has
consequently been checked. Probably owing in some Ines-
suro to adverse winds, the imports into Liverpool are less
extensive than of late, consisting of moderate supplies of
wheat,lndisn corn,and fiour,from abroad,and of oats and oat-
meal from Ireland. At our market this morning • much firmer
tone existed than for several weeks past, and both wheat
and fl iur were generally held for rather higher rates than
those current on this day se'nnight ; but the business pass-
ing was very limited. Oats ruled steady, sad oatmeal
brought an advance of 6d. per load.

NIVICASTLEAMON•TYNE, Feb. 12.—The trade during
the present week has exhibited symptoms of an hardening
tendency, and although the actual wales of Wheat have not
been large, millers have evinced more disposition to pur-
chase, the extent of transactions being curtailed by the great
firmness of hold( The arrivals of Flour being in excess
of present requirements, some forced sales have been made
at irregular rates, but the general feeling amongst factors
has been to land rather than make any further concession.
Malting Barley has scarcely told so well, and the same may
be gain of grinding descriptions. Beans scarcely so much
enquired for, whereas Peas generally have found more
favour, other articles ruling as hi retafore. The agricultural
advice, from the south being of a more healthy chars:ter,
with a tendency in most markets to an advance, we may
fairly look to the large consuming marts responding to the
improved feeling, inasmuch as the navigation in the Baltic
being closed, no further shipments can be expected fur a
time; hence, the millers and consumers generally will be
disposed to replenish their stocks, which concurrently with
diminished receipt. must result in a gradual and steady im-
provement in the trade. At our market this morning we
had a moderate show of Wheat from the growers, and
although the arrivals coastwise are to a liberal extent, fresh-
thrashed samples were taken off early at Is. per qr. advance,
whereas South Country and foreign sold likewise at a simi-
lar improvemeut, the market closing strong. For fair runs
of Norfolk, weighing 571bs. but made 63;b5., 48e. was ob-
tained, choi".? Norfolk, weighing naturally 69}lbs., at the
same time commending 50s. per quarter, 631bs. ;
Wismar up to 51s. per quarter; other sorts in proportion.
For Flour there was more inquiry, and where 355. was taken
for households a good bueiums ocean e I, but the majority of
holders held firmly for 36,., whites 365. to 385., according to
quality. In ltye rather more stirring. In Barley but little
was done; prices, however, remain unchanged. In Malt
scarcely so much inquiry ns of late. Beans rather dearer,
whil't boiling Peas were held for full prices, viz.: 425. to
435. for extra qualities. With Oats we were moderately
supplied by our growers, as well as from the coast, but the
trade upon the whole was slow at last week's prices. The
arrivals this week are: Wheat, eoastwise, 2,286 qra. ; foreign,
1,465. Rye, foreign, 16.5; Barley, coastwise, ; foreign,
300. Male, coastwise, 319. Oats, coutwise, 88. Flour,
3,031 sacks.

Nouwica, Feb. 12.—Our =mica this day was thinly
attended by farmers, in consequence of the weather. The
quantity offering was small, the quality inferior. Prices
were firm, and le. per qr. advance was established. Flour
was a dull sale, at last week's rates. Nut much changed
hands f.o.b. Barley trade sic w, less on offer, and lies de-
mand. Grinding sorts were not so much inquired after as
of late. No change in prices. Beans and Peas were a small
offer, and small demand ; in price no variation. Oats good
supply, demand fair, value the same. Wheat, white, 48e.
to 52e. per qr. ; red, 425. to 465. Barley, malting. 325.
to 345. ; grinding, 275. to 295. Beans, 345. to 365. Peas,
325. to 345. Oats, Vs. to 261. Fine household Flour,
f.0.b., 335. per sack of 2801b5., purchasers finding sacks
and claiming one month's credit.

PETERBOROUGH, Feb. 12.—Our supply of Wheat being
small, it was readily disposed of at au advance of Is. per
qr. Although we had a good deal of Barley. ls. per qr.
over the prices of last week was easily realised. Ncw Beans
made rather more money; but Oats, owing to the large
quantity offering, could be bought 6.1. to Is. per qr. cheaper.
READING, Feb. 12.—We had but a short supply of
‘Vheat to-day, but in improved condition ; although the
trade was brisk and a good clearance effected, we can only
call the market very firm at late prices. Barley was much
less in quantity; prime malting quality realised full prices;
bad grinding samples were fully Is. per qr. lower. Peas
are scarce and rather d han two week's ago, as are
also good Oats; inferior plentiful and difficult of disposal.
Beans without alteration.

WISBICH, Feb. 12.—The weather during the last few
days has been very cold with meow. The supply of grain
to this day's market has been only moderate, and the de-
mand for Wheat of all kinds has been active at fully Is. per
qr. over the prices of this day week. Oats also must be
quoted 6d. per qr. dearer, whilst Beans and Peas maintain
their value.

WOIICESTEII, Feb. 12.—Our market wu well supplied
with Wheat to-day, but the whole was cleared off at an ad-
vance of 11. per qr. Barley unaltered in value. Oats fully
as dear. Beans again rather higher. Very little passing in
Peas.

Yule[, Feb. 12.—We have only a small attendance of
farmers at our market to-day. Wheat sells more freely at
an advance of Is. per qr. Barley in short supply, and the
best samples Is. per qr. dearer. Beans and Oats without
alteration.

DUBLIN, Fan 11.—Our corn market to-day was less de-
pressed than of late, and the currencies of Tuesday were
generally supported. White wheat, 265. to 30s. ; red
ditto, 255. to 28s. ; barley, 12a. 6d. to 16s. 6d. ; oats. 10e.
to Ils. ; rapeseed, 21s. to 23,. per brl. ; oatmeal, lls. to
12s. Oil. ; bakers' flour, 141. 6d. to 18s. per cwt.; Indian
Corn, 31e. to 345. fid. per 4801ba.
WATERFORD, Feb. 12.—Our market continues devoid of
animation, but as supplies of home grown grain are gra-
dually diminishing, holders show littlo disposition to press
sales, and purchase, s, in consequence are compelled to pay
full prices for almost every article in the trade. In the
value of Irish Wheat we cannot note any change; foreign,
of which the import for the week is large, has been in im-
proved request, at the extreme rates of this day se'anight.
Bailey has met more enquiry; and Oats, at the decline
uoted last week, have been freely purchased during the past
' few days. In the beat qualities of Indian Corn, a fair
amount of business has been tranucted, at the currency of
this day week, but secondary descriptions have been very
difficult to move, except at a greater decline than holders
are at present disposed to submit to. Flour hu been in
slow demand, at about former rates.

KIIIKCALDT, Feb. 12.—At our country markets this
week buyers held aloof, expecting all kinds of grain to be
lower. Farmers, however, were offering len than usual,
and where sales were made, they obtained last week's rates.
Latterly, Barley was more sought after, at full prices.
Here to-day we had a very small supply of Barley, and
only moderate of Wheat and Oats. We experienced a good
demand fur every kind of grain, at an advance of Is. per qr.
on each. Wheat, 40s. to 625. per qr. Barley, 255. to
31s. Oats, 17s. to 235. Oatmeal, per bag of 2801b5., 295.
