OOTTON.—Lrrearon,Fr.R.ls.—Webavemainhadslarge
blueness transacted at • ury full prices. The sales are 12.000
bales, including 4,801) Americen, at 101. to 1442. ; 7,000
Surat, 64d. to 104 d. ; and 200 Egyptian, 124 d. to 10d. ; of
which 7,000 are for speculation and export. To-day's im-
port is 2,199 bales.

COTTON GOODEL—MANCHID4M, Fru. 15. —The
market is scarcely so active this morning for yarns, but
prim are still firm, with a tendency to advance. For 32's
to 40's male and water, manufacturers have to give 4d. per
lb. more than on Tuesday, but in some kinds of export
yarns (40's and under) sellers can only obtain ed. per lb.
advance. The average advance is about Id. per lb in low
and !medium counts, but some of the animism of finer
numbers are asking rather more. In cloth, the advica to
hand telegraphed to anticipate the India mail are most dis-
couraging, prices having furtheriven way at Bombay, on
the 27th January, as much as 14d. to 3d. per piece on 71b.
and 841 b. 413-inch shirting/. This fall is considered due to the
American news then received out, and all will probably be
changed when they get further advice', but in the mean-
time a comparison of quotations there against the prices
current here shows a lees, after shipping charges, duties,
&c., which is utterly discouraging, and export houses in thin
branch of trade are doing little or nothing. The advance of
3d. to 44d. asked in consequence of the rise of cotton and
cotton yarn has stopped business, so far as India goods are
concerned, but there is more or less doing in small lots for
other markets. The Canadians have been rather active par
chasers for some weeks past, and during the last few days,
but there is no business worth mentioning for the home
trade, and for the larger export markets sufficient, even
with the present greatly diminished production, to affect
values and give to manufacturers a chance of advancing
their prices so as to cover the ries upon the raw material.

HARDWARE.—ltmwmousw, F®.ls.—There has been
rather more life in the trade of this town during the week,
scathe depression, though it is still generally felt, has been
I. some measure modified. The fresh orders in have been
chiefly for the home trade and from the agricultural districts,
but notwithstanding this, the men are working short time
at many of the manufactories, at some of them not more
than four days in the week, sod some of the manufacturers
who have been the longest engaged in the trade report that
they have seldom experienced a season when the stagnation
was so general, or when there were so few orders in of any
description. In the foreign trade there is a shade of lop
movement; a few orders have been given out during
the week for the Rio trade • there is also a little doing to
Spain 'and to the West Indies. From the adjoining dis-
trict of South Staffordshire and Feet Woroestershire we
have very general complaints of the badness of trade ; from
Wslsall, the principal seat of the saddlers' ironmongery
manufacture, the reports are unsatisfactory, few orders
having come in for the spring trade ; on the Dudley and
Stonrbridge side of the country the slackness is also much
felt. The iron trade of this locality has not rallied in the
slightest degree, in fact the demand for finished iron is so
' inadequate to the production that if some of the works were
stopped at once the effect on the market would 0017 be
slightly appreciable. Few fresh orders have been given
out daring the past week ; the absence of these is felt with-
out exception by the trade. labour is suffering a good deal
on account of the scarcity of employment in various parts of
the district, and pauperism is increasing.

WOOLLEN CLOTS.—Luna, Pea. 15.—A few parcels
of light spring fabrics changed bands this morning is
the coloured Gall, but there was not any dispaiition to
operate freely. There was a good attendance of buyers, but
more lookers ou thou purchasers. The white market was
L
very quiet, though not more so than of late. There
has bees • smell demand for striped lista for shipping.
Were the home trade all that our manufacturers bad at pre-
sent to rely upon, their position would be still more de.
pignuts than it is, which is saying a great deal.
00/IN.—Oarseroun, Pa. 15.—Wheat in short supply,
at lam week's prices. Barley, a large quantity, and quite
la. lower ; altogether a very dull market. Wheat, stis. to
64e. per qr.; barley, 34e. to 38e.; beans, 38e. to 425.; peas,
42n so 44e.; oats, 21s. to 28e.

OAIUBLI, FIB. 15.—There was a good supply of wheat
at our market this morning, which met with a good Wei at
last•week's rates Barley and oats a fair supply, sad good
sale, at about &L advance, owing to the demand for seed
samples. Wheat, white, maw, 214 to 24e.; old, 214 to

Beans, 19s. to 20s. Peas, 19a. to 20e.
Corners, Fu. 15.—The supply of all descriptions
of grain only modest. Wheat in slow demand, at late
rates. Barley fully maintained its value. Beaus and peas
were unaltered in value, but not a free sale.

GUILD7OI3), Fut. 15.—With a good supply, the wheat
trade today was very firm, all good useful qualities selling
at the full ruin of last week. Mailing barley in request, at
prima slightly in favour of sellers. Wheat, 525. to 138 a.
per quarter. Barley, 30s. to 38e. Oats, 21s. to 27u Beans,
Wu to 455. Pisa, 375. to 40e.

were generally made. Old red aorta sold at
Els7mto 58s. ; new, 62.. to 645. ; new white, 63a. to 675.
per 36 stone. The barley trade was by no means active,
and prices were rather in favour of the buyer ; malting
may be quoted at 345. to 38s. per qr. ; feed sorts, 30s. to
3b. per :JO stops. There was only a limited supply of oats,
which met a slow demand, and prices were not materially
changed ; old, 30a. to 325. ; new, 245. to Vs. per
24 stone.

NIWCARTLI-OPON-Trawl, FIB. 11.—dt our market this
morning we had • larger supply of wheat from the grower,
and notwithstanding the condition was very various a clear-
Roos was early effected at about the rates of this day se 'n-
night. From the stands exceedingly little wsado•ein south
country, the high pretensions of sellers preventing business,
but a few sales occurred in Scotch new white, quslity not
extra, at 60s. per 5011bs. Foreign, from the same cane&
was in slow request, stiU for some fine new highly-condi-
tioned red Wolgaat 65a. per 5011 be was paid. Flour was
not offered cheaper than during the week, the great falling
off in the coasting receipts imparting more confidence to
holders. Malting barley in moderate request, but cannot
be written any cheaper. Grinding neglected. Malt, unless
fine, difficult to qua. Beans without inquiry. Boiling
peas steady. Oats without variation. The arrivals this
week are :—Wheat, coastwise, 1,138 qrs. Malt, coastwise
42. Oats, coastwise, 1,631. Pease. coastwise. 20. Beans,
cosstwise, 59. Flour, coastwise, 460 sacks.
Bowies, Fa& 15. There was rather • abort supply
of wheat at to-day's market, and former prices were
fully supported for all descriptions. The supply of barley
was tolerably good for the time of year. The farmers de-
manded more money, but buyeni would not accede to their
requirements, although the sales made were effected at fully
former rates. Flour remained without alteration in value,
this evening's quotation being 425. per sack. White wheat
(weighing 621bs. to 641b5.), 60s. to 64a. ; red ditto (weigh-
ing ftlbs. to 6411 a.), 58a. to 62a. ; best chevalier malting

635. • old red. 425. to 625. ; now white, 645. to 70a. ; new
red, 60s. to 645. per 36 stone. There was about an average

ditto of lower, melting, sold at 34e. to 40s. per qr. ;
hag, 30a. to 325. per 30 atone. Of cute there was a moderate

305., per 24 atone. _ _

OXFORD, FEB. 15.—A great degree .of firmness pervaded
this market throughout the day, and consequently prices
remained about the mine as this day seinnight, for all kinds
of grain, in anything like good conditiou, Tartars oats er
emoted, the brisk demand for which enabled holders to
realise from ls. to 2s. per qr. over and above late rates. The
attendance of both buyers and sellers was numerous, and
although many samples of corn of good quality changed
heeds, it was not what might be termed a busy market,
speculators holding aloof from nuking purchases, while
millers only bought from necessity, being compelled to add
to their stock to enable them to supply their
customers. Prime ranged as follows, via.:—Whits 7=r ,
60s. to 665. per qr.• red wheat, 60a. to 605.; barley, 32e. to
375.; oats, 200. to 345.: beans, 38a. to as.; bog peas, none

PITIEDOROUGR, Faa. 15.—We had a fair quantity of
grain here to-day. Wheat, as well as all descriptionsof
spring corn, could be bought at rather lower prices.
- -

READIING, Fee. 15.—Tbe attendance at our market thin
day was an average one for the season of the year. The
PM heaviness which bas characterised our market for the
last few weeks
~again prevailed. The supply was rather int.
proved, sad prices remain unaltered. In other articles the
trade was of a nominal character.
ROCHIMILB, 15.—There was a good show of wheat
with a fair attendance of the trade, but the demand was
al rah, and but very few sales were effected. Best lota
of both homegrown and foreign wheata realised former
quotations. but medium and secondary lots were offered
at Is. to 2s. per qr. less money, at which concession the
business dons was very limited, buyers appearing to be
Inlispoeed to augment their stocks on hand. Flour wee
almost entirely neglected, aad no improvemeat in that
article can be quoted. Bulgy moved off very slowly, and
mostly in retail quantities ; good ample* for malting were
fully as dear aslsdore. We, beans, end peas wire each
• dull trade, but the prices of thou articles an abaci the
SUM

OliK, FEB. Is.—The tone of the trade wu dull at the
quotations of the previous week. For white aorta prim
ranged from 62.. to fits. ; for red 58e. to 61s. per *.ib Stoic..
The show of barley was tolerable' and with a dull duthqui.
secondary and inferior sorts were hardly so dear as hereto.

AO stone. The inquiry for oats was not brisk, and itainpl..s
were much the seine iu price as last market thy ; rate,
varied from 22a. to 21a. per 24 stops.

KIRKCALDY, FEB.IS.—At our country markets this week
we had much reduced quantities cf grain offering, cal
towards the end of the week the markets were firm, at
prices more favourable to sellers. Here teday we had
nioderate supplies of wheat and barley, which sold at last
week's rates. Good supply of oats, which sold readily at
6d. per qr. more money. Wheat, old and new, 42,. to w.
per quarter ; barley, new, 255. to 31s. ; oats, new, ais. to
27a. 6d. per quarter.
WATERFORD. Fee. 15.—Our supplies of grain from all
sources have been very moderate this week, but the Lade
has continued without animation, and prices of most
articles have rather receded. Irish wheat being very scarce
maintains previous rates, but foreign can be had et 3d. to
6d. per barrel lass money. Barley in better request, and
fully as dear. Oats except the very float samples can
be had at a reduction of Id. to M. per barrel. Indian corn
has been taken to a fair extent, but with the lower accounts
from London and Liverpool, holders have bad to submit to
a further decline of 3d. per barrel. Flour rather easier to
buy. Imports 'this week :—Wheat, 3,660 qrs. Barley,
600. Indian corn, 1,659. Flour, 120 barrels 390 necks.
Exports this week :—Barley, 50 barrels. Oats, 3,100
