MARKETS,

COTTON.—Livraroot., date. 6—The sales of cotton
to-day are estimated at 5,003 bale', and corapromiie about
4,000 American, 30 I'ernam and Marenhatr, at Gd. to 61d. ;
259 Bahia, at fid. to 6jd ; 1011 Egyptian, at 6.1 d. to 10d. ;
30.3 Surat, at 31d. to Ofd. The market closes tamely, )et
very steadily. With the exception of American, at sjd. to
ifel, which may be • shade against the buyer, prices of
all kinds remain the same as on Friday.
MANCTIESTEII, JAN. G.—We have scarcely so much
activity as on Tuesday, but prices are fully maintained.
The American &deices by the steamer last arrived speak of
• partial relapse of the cotton markets, and this is one
cause of less bungee& here. The yarns and cloths suitable
to India and China are still in good inquiry, and difficult
to be met with ; and prices continue very firm. The home
trade is more active than at the close of the year, but not
in coarser yarns and fabrics, the demand besog larger in
fine yarns, and especially so in those suitable to the York-
shire trade.

WOOL.—BBADFORD, Jan. 6.-o.:r market at present
prectuts an unusual degreo of animation, consequent upon
large purchases being made by brokers fur shipment to the
west, also by the staplers selling from °tie to another, either
to complete engagements entered into, or on ;speculation.
Be this as it may, prices arc now sought by the country
Healers quite out of all bounds; and the bayed (or actual
consumption feel their pot•itiou a difficult our, especially
when they have to supply old contracts for yarns. :Coils
and broke continue active, but do not command prices
equal to long Wools.— Bradford ()tamer.

MANLTACTURES.—DRADYOUD, Jan. G.—Yarns: The
transactions thus far entered into are not so great as in the
previous month, owing to the large engagements of many
spinners, and their consequent unwillingness to take orders
in additim to those on hand. Many manufacturers have
also scoured large contracts for Yarns, on terms far different
to those on which they can now place them ; and as the dif-
ficulties of prcclueinir them are every day increasing, the
spinners are compelled to seek higher prices. Pieces This
branch of the trade seems as if it was cot governed by the
state of either wool, yarn, or cotton. This may in some
measure be accounted for by the stock now in process of
manufacture being chiefly old purchases, and low prices are
still the result. The relative price of the raw material and
woven fabric is, however, at present very unsatisfactory,
and. unless the latter ere long command a considerable ad-
vance, a stoppage of looms must follow.—Bradford Observer.

CORN.-Butslux, JAN. 6.-Accounts from the adjoining
districts of Gloucestenhire and Somersetahire represent the
weather as having been very unpropitious, as, indeed, it
has been everywhere else. Heavy falls of rain and boiste-
rous winds have been prevalent, and have necessarily in-
terfered with the successful progress of husbandry. The
market to-day has been moderately supplied with wheat,
although the demand has been somewhat sluggish. For
all really well-conditioned qualities, the previous currencies
were required and acceded to ; and, indeed, stocks were
pretty firmly held. The same remark will apply to foreign,
the prices of which were the same as at last week's market.
In finer there was a moderato consumptive trade at our
quotation. For malting barley the demand was slow, but
really prime temples brought as high as 355. to 365. per im-
perial quarter. Grinding parcels were the same as last week.
For oats there was a fair market, at the values of this day
se'tnnight-a remark wbich will also apply to beans.
The prices were :-English new wheat, 425. to 48s. per
imperial quarter ; ditto, old wheat, 56.5. to 58s. per ditto ;
foreign, white, 525. to 565. per 48011 n. ; foreign, red, extra
Ono qualities, 495. to 525. per ditto ; ditto, tine qualities,
375. to 50s. per ditto • ditto, ordinary qualities, 455. to 48s.
per ditto; foreign, hard, 41s. to 475. per ditto. English
seconds dour, 375. to 40e. per sack ; United States,&c., sweet,
259. to 30.5. per barrel. English malting barley, 335. to 369.
per imperial quarter; English and foreign grinding ditto,
275. to 28s. Od. per 4001bs. Devon and Welsh feed oats,
17a. 63. to Bs. 6d. per imperial quarter; Irish white, ditto,
20s. to 21a. 6d. per 3201b5. ; Irish 'Auk ditto, 18s. Od. to
21e. lid. per imperial quarter. English beaus, 365. to 40s.
per ditto ; foreign ditto, 335. to 3-59. per 480lhs. The
arrivals on shipboard for the week have been :-Oats, 400
barrels ; barley, 1,500 barrels. The official return of the
corn inspector gives the following averages (-Wheat,
455. 3d.; oats, 185.53.; barley, 31s. 10(1.; beans, 413.6 d.

. „ .
NEwaitx, Tan. s.—There hes liven a fair demand for
superior qualities of Wheat and Barley, at last week's
prices; inferior samples were Is. lower. There was an
arcrage supply and a moderato attendance. Other grain in
rcqurst. Averages:—Wheat, white, 60s. to Cas. ; red, 48s.
to 323.; grinding Barley, 21s. to 285.; malting, 265. to 333. ;
Oats, 18s. to 215.; Beans, old, 423. per qr.

- . -
NRWBURY, Jan. 6.—We are again well supplied with
Wheat much out of condition, which caused aslow demand,
at reccding prices. The supply of Barley barely equal to
the demand, and it met a ready sale, at improved rates. Oats,'
Beans, and Venn without change.
I.:XDRIDGE, Jan. 6.—With a small supply of Wheat at
to-day's market the trade is firm, and last week's prices
maintained. The best price fs,r old Wheat is 61s. ; the
average price 465. per qr. The demand for Ws is improved
at 18s. to 245. per qr.
WATERFORD, Jan. s.—With moderate supplies of Irish
and foreign grain we have only to report a veey limited
business passing in every article of the trade at about the
currency of Saturday last.

EDINTWEGII, Jan. s.—The supply of grain was not near
so large in the market to-day. There was an excel:cnt
demand for all sorts, which made sales quick, and prices
up. The grain was not so bad as it has been for the last
two weeks. Wheat, 435. Gd. to 565. Barley, 245. to 345.
Oats, 16a. to 235. 4d. Beans, 30s. to 40s.

CATTLE.—Cnovnox, Jan. 6.—The supply at this morn-
ing's market was short of both Beasts and Sheep ; Beasts sold
freely at last week's prices. The best wether Mutton
kept up to da., and in some instances very prime made
ds. 44. per stone; middling quality fully supported the
prices of last market (lay. The Veal trade was brisk, at
4s„ to 4e. 4d. for the best ; middling, 3s. 44. to 3s. 84. ; small
porkers, 3s. 104. to 4s. 24. ; quarter-old store Pigs, 17e. to
21s. each ; sucking rigs, 7s. each. Suckling Calves, ids.
to 21s. each.

NEWAIIIi, Jan. 5.—A small market to-day, and not much
business done. Prices were again rather flat. There were
56 Beasts and 177 Pigs penned.
Rennotits (Heins) F• 111, Jan. s.—This great fair was
held to-day, and was far better supplied than was ex-
pected with all kinds of stock. The store Beasts were in
great demand, but most of them being in the hands of the
dealer., who have bought at high rater, and buyers requir-
ing a fall, prices can hardly be quoted, although we con-
sider them no lower. Barren Cows 'sold freely, from 2a. Gd.
to pn stone. Both milch and in-calf Cows were only
saleable at reduced prices. In the Sheep fair much
business was transacted, without any material al-
teration in prices, best wethers making 425. to 48s. each ;
bonen, 30s. to ale. Store Pigs sold freely, prices for ell
aorta haring en upward tendency. The Bone fair was a
large one. Trade was very brisk for young animals of all
sorts, those warranted sound selling without difficulty at
unusually high prices, many of them being s:id on
Tuesday, the show day. _ _

SALFORD, 'lan. s.—We have had more favourable wea-
ther, which has brought about the usual supply of Beasts
from Ireland, and from other parts the usual average quan-
tity. Sheep in moderate supply. Primo Bocf ready sale
at 41. 3d. to Ss. per stone ; Mutton, Sd. to Gd. per lb. A
good clearance made before the close of the market.

WAKEFIELD, Jan. s.—We had 670 fat Beasts, and 5,000
Sheep, all of very excellent quality. Trade brisk, and atl
the stock sold up ut the following rates: Beef, Os. 9d. to
Gs. 6d. per stone; Mutton, 50. to Gd.; small Sheep, GO.
per lb. We had also a good show of lean stock and pigs,
which met with ready sale.

EDlNnuno Jan. s.—The number of Cattle in the mar-
ket this morning was 524, or 40 less than on this day week.
Sales, on account of the high prices asked, dull, and last
prices fully supported. Top price of the best Deer, is. Gd.;
current top, is. 3d.; current price, Gs. Ga.; middling and
inferior sorts, from ss. to 6s. per Dutch stone. At the close
of the market a good clearance was rilectcd.
