MARKETS.

COTTON.—Lrxisroot., Maucu 16.—The market closed
steadily, and with some cheerfulness,. There was more
busmen in pricer, which have undergone no change since
Friday, and lens pressing to sell on the part of holders.
The sales amounted to 8.000 bales-1,000 for export, and
2,000 on speculation. They comprise 400 Pernam. and
Maranham, at sp. to 61d.; 50 Bahia, at 61 • 300
Egyptian, at 6d. to 71d.; 400 Surat, at 31d. to 41d.; 50 Sea
I Islands.

MAIIICHUTER, MARCH 16.—The firmer upeet of the
Liverpool market, combined with favourable accounts of
commerce telegraphed in snticipation of the India mail,
have had the effect of checking the downward tendency of
prices end giving a little more steadiness to the market.
Some of the buyers, in whose hands orders had accumu-
lated, have operated more freely than of late, and prices
which were refused for 30's mule and 20 water twist last
week have been conceded—the latter selling to-day at tijd.

and the former at 91d. per lb. In 40 inch India ihirtiigs
there has been rather more doing and steadier prices, but
houses in other branches report but little alteration, and
give long cloths, T cloths, and domestics as without change.

WOOLLEN CLOTH.—Lmtns, Minot 15.—There has
been about an uvual Tuesday's market to-day, and a fair
average business done.

WOOLS.—HUDDIRIWIZLD, March 15.—We have no
change to note in this branch, Wools still moving gradually
off, and prices remain firm.

MANUFACTURES.—IIuDDELSrtILD, March 15.
The supply of goods brought to market this morning was
very scanty, in consequence of many of our manufacturers
making to order ; but for choice, which the market afforded,
a good busineu Las been done. A law light goods in pat-
terns adapted for the coming MIMI were shown, and readily
found buyers.

CORN.—IIor r, March 15.—Our farmers brought a good
*apply of Wheat, and for best runs of red we had a pretty
fair sale at a decline of la. to 2s. upon the prices of
last week. Our millers were paying 445. to 465. for such
descriptions, 631bs. Only • slow sale fur foreign, and
nothing offering from shipboard. A short supply of Bar-
, ley, and the market without alteration. Oats dull. Bar-
ley and Peas much the sane es last week. The Linseed so
lung on the passage from the Black Sea is now arriving
freely. The market is ls. to 21. lower, but the bulk of the
supply is fur crushers' account. Linseed Cakes may be
bought on easkr terms, owing to the mildness of the
weather and decline in value of other feeding articles.
Nothing doing in Rapeseed, and in Cakes the business is
very retail as yet. Imports from March 5 to 11: Wheat,
180 qrs.; Beans, 40; Peas, 12; Tares, 0 ; Linseed, 4,500 ;
Oil Cakes, 13 tons.

LIZDS, bloucti 15. The supply of wheat is fair
this week ; the reduction in prices causes less desire to
sell ; nevertheless, from the inactivity of demand, sales are
made at rather declining rates from Friday, and fully ls.
from this day week. Barley is steady in price if fine, other
sorts neglected. No alteration in oats, shelling, beans, or
other articles. Arrivals this week. Wheat, 7,547 qrs. ;
Oats, 474; Barley, 2,263; Beans, 819; Pcu, 309; She'-
, ling, 40; Rapeseed, 1,516.

LtvanrooE, MAnett 16.—At this day's market there
was a fair attendance of the town and country trade, with
several buyers from a distance' and a large business might
have been done in wheat and flour had holders been die-
posed to take the low prices lately current; however,
more money was insisted utson and where sales were made
the depresion noted on k ricily was generally :recovered.
French flour did not participate in the improvement, and
must be quoted Is. per sack lower on the week. Oats and
oatmeal met with an extremely slow sale, and a decline of
d. ,ter 41 lbs. and CA. to 9d. per load was submitted to.
Earley, beans, and pease, were in fair telly:At at late rates.
Indian corn on the spot was only in small demand, and fully
Is. per quarter lower for white. Carepiee arrived off the
coast were more inquired for, and sales were effected at
31s. Gd. per quarter for Galati and 0 leas, and 295. Ga.
per quar:cr for Ibraila, cost, freight, and insurance.
Arrivals into Liverpool and Runcorn from March 8
to March 14, inclusive: Wheat,.

LYNN, March 16.—We have had a much smaller supply
of Wheat here to day, condition very bad, and le. per qr.
lower. Sesretly any other grain at market, and prices
without alteration. Wheat, old, 621bs. to 031bs._, 475. to
495. per quarter to the growers; best, new, 581bs. to
591 h.., 41e. to 43..; ditto, runs, sdlbs. to 581h5., 3.55.

best runs, _ale. to 305.; inferi.a, 261. to 27e. Beaus, 325.
to 381.
NEWCASTLE-1' CON•TVN It, March 15.—Tho weather,
which last week gave indications of becoming more settled,
, hu again changed for the worse. Last night we had a
, deal of rain, which will sadly interfere with field-work in
_ .

general. At our market this-morning we had a fair show of
Wheat from t' .c grawirs, and, its condition being indiffer-
ent, sales proceeded rlowly, and hroriour rates were with
didieulty sustained. In South Country er foreign few
tr..u‘actions transpired ; for 3-yea n-old Strahund IScper qr.,
631 be., could cot be exceeded but holders generally were
disinclined to accept such a price for prime old

foreign of a more recent importation. Flour is in
a state of complete stagnation, and where sales
are effected very irregular prices must be accepted.
In Rye not much stirring: Fine malting Barley is fully as
dear, but any other descriptions the turn easier. In Malt
little doing. and the same may be said of Beans. Boiling
Peas must be written Is. per qr cheaper, but at this reduc-
tion the demand was good. Blue qualities in slow request,
and all but the beet varieties are Is. to 2s. per qr. lower ;
the present value of the latter varies from 355. to 385.,
whereas choice white breakers may be quoted from 40s. to
42.. per qr. respectively. Osts are still tending downwards,
with only a limited inquiry.

CATTLE. SALISBURY, March 15.—We were thinly
supplied with Beasts, and the quality of the greater part
was inferior to those of our late market; the attendance of
buyers was also rather limited, and the trade for the cearser
sorts was .dull; but we hear a great many purchases were
effected last evening at the currency of this day se'nnight.
Although the prices for Beef are receding, there was no
quotable variation of prices. A clearance was effected for
the best prime Devon then, but of fatted Cows ani Heiler,
many remained unsold. The supply of Sheep, for the sea-
son of the year, was moderate, and there being still a good
demand, everything was disposed of at the extreme rates of
last market; but we understand there is no likelihood of •
further advance. In the Pig market them was a fair sup-
ply, and s large amount of business was transacted at a
slight improvement in value. There was a good supply of
Calves, which sold well, at prices according to sire and
quality. Carman Veal sold at 3s. Bd. to 4s. Rd. per Sibs.
A good number of mulch Cows, with Calves, were on offer,
which sold malerat, ly well. Best Ox Beef, 10s. per score ;
second-rate, 9s. Gd.; cow and heifer, 7s. to lia. Down Mut-
ton, 71d. per lb.; second-rate, 6!d. to 7d. Veal, fal. to cid.
Pork, Gd. to G}d. per lb., and 9s. to 10s. per score. Bacon,
green, per lb., 7d. to 71d. ; dry, Bd. to 9d.; ditto, per score,
9s. to 10s. Green Pork, 61,1. to 71d. Store l'igs, IGs. to
30s. each. Cows, with Calves, 91. 10s. to 121. 10s.

INDIA AND CHINA MARKETS.
CALCUTTA, FEIL 5.
In our export market, sugar has been quiet during the
past fortnight, and operations in it have been chiefly con-
fined to the lower kinds of new date. Refiners, deterred by
the high rates required, are not yet at work on the raw
material. 1,445 mds. of raw silk have been exported to
Great Britain during last month : the article is in eager
inquiry. Filature silks have been contracted for at 12 to
14 Rs. per seer, and comparatively high prices have been
paid for native produce. A fair quantity of Corahs (59,209
pieces) have gone forward to Great Britain in January ; of
late the demand has abated, owing to holders requiring
an advance of two to three rupees, to which only a few
parties have been found to submit. The export of saltpetre
to Great Britain during the same period has been 45,747
mds. The demand for this salt has fallen off, and its
value has declined about 2 annas per md. Rice has also
been sent to the same market in large quantities. The
exports in January amount to 2,91,757 mds. The finer
kinds of Jute are nearly out of the market, but the
middling qualities are taken up with avidity at full priced.
The crop is Noted to be a short one. Turmeric is regaining
favour: 2.717 Inds. have been sent to Great Britain and
5,871 to France in January.
We regret that we can report no improvement in our
import market, which remains depressed.
The MONEY MAILKET keeps well supplied.
EXCHANGE, after the date of our last report, rose to 2-1 t
and 2.11, although a few transactions have transpired on
better and some on worse terms. Drawers are now unwil-
ling to part with their paper at the above rates, while re-
mitters are holding out for them. At going to peon very
little had been done,and it remained undecided which party
would give way.
Faxicaurs declined a little, but are again much as they
were. Our quotations now are-31. 2s. Gd. to 31. 55., salt •
petro ; 31. 7s. Gd. to 31. 10s., sugar ; and 41., rice, to
London.

CANTON, JAN. 25.
