MARKETS.

COlTON.—llwituroor., APRIL 21.—The market cloned
heavily, and prices of American declined id. per lb. upon
Friday's rates. Sales : 6,000 bales (500 for export), includ-
ing 340 Pietism and Mannheim, 614. to 7)d,; 120 Bahia,
6d. to 61d.; 700 Egyptian, 6)4. to 151 J.; 800 Surat, 3)d.
to 40. ; 60 Sea Islands, 21d. to 2s. 6d.
Mancurarnt, Aram 21.—We have not had much
change in the market since Tuesday. The advice* by the
steamer to Havre that prices of cotton were again upwards
at New York and New Orleans, have had the effeet of ra-
ther hardening prices, and inducing spinners to hold with
more firmness te the terms which appeared on Tuesday to
be giving way slightly. Spinners and manufacturers of
printing cloth and shirtings are tolerably well engaged to
order, and the extent of their contracts renders them to
some extent independent of immediate additions to their
engagements, and adds to the firmness of toile felt in the
market. There has been a fair amount of business in the
aggregate.

WOOL.—BRADVOID, April 21.—There is at present •
heaviness in the wool market; no one seems satisfied with
what is doing. The prices demanded here are too high for
the consumer, and the country dealers sad growers are an-
ticipating to realise prices higher than can be met here, con-
sequently the whole trade is in a peculiar position, especially
at this very important period, the eve of a slew clip, when
stability end activity ought to be the leading features. It
is to be feared that the spirit of speculation may effect some
mischief, fur although Wool was safe at last shear day's
price, the advance now ;sought may make it perilous ; tor
the Bradford trade u did support extreme prices, except
fur • limited period, and that to the discomfort of the trade
afterwards. Broke, and nails are steady, and the stock on
hand generally.light.—Bradfod Obsertgr.

MANUFACTURES.— BUM/FORD, April 21.—Yarns :
There is noshing new in this branch of the trade ; the
spinners are generally working to order ; no accumulating
of stocks or giving way in prices ; and orders for distant
delivery, in the pref. nt state of the Wool market, are not
favourably entertained. Pieces: Tbis department of our
trade is not cheering, having to grapple with dear raw
material, and w.ll-paid rates for weaving, and the business
doing is altogether uuremuncrative, especially on all Wool
goods, on which the advance tells fearfully.—Bradford
Observer.

'CORN.—BIRMINOHAM, April 21.—During the present
week some foreign When has changed hands, at decline of
about ls. per qr. Only retail sales of Barley are reported.
Some quantity of Oats have found buyers at rather im-
proved prices. Beans held,for same advance. Peas dull.
At this day's market there was a limited supply of English
Wheat, and both old and new realised the currency of this
day se'nnight. Foreign gave way Gd. to Is. per qr. But
little doing in Barley, and we make no alteration in our
quotations of any kind. Oats fully as dear, with an in
creased demand. English Beans rather dearer. We had
very few inquiries fur Peas.

"Interim, APRIL 21.-Our market has been but indif-
ferently supplied with English wheat; indeed, we may
say that the quantity offering was short. The demand was
not active but for good, well-conditioned samples, the cur-
rencies of this day se'onight were obtainable. Inferior qua-
lities were rather weaker. For foreign, the inquiry was
dull and scarce) y any descriptions maintained the recent
values. Black Sea qualities were of very slow sale, and
importers had to suntnit to a reduction of 18. per quarter.
Flour participated in the decline upon wheat, and both
English sad foreign were easier to buy. We had a dull
market for malting barley ; indeed, the season is drawing
near to a close. Grinding parcels were likewise in very
limited request, and prices weaker. There was not much
doing in oats, but prices remained without any material
alteration. Beans met with only a retail sale
at about the quotations of last week's market.
The prices were as follows :-English wheat, white, 38a. to
465. per imperial quarter; English red. 40s. to 445. per
ditto; foreign ditto, 488. to 525. per 4801 be.; foreign red,
extra fine qualities, 455. to 48s. per ditto; fine qualities,
41s. to 435. por ditto ; ordinary qualities, 395. to 41s. per
ditto; foreign hard, 38s. to 400. per ditto ; English seconds
flour, 345. to 355. per sack; United States, &c., sweet, 235.
to 245. 6d. per barrel ; English malting barley, 325. to 38s.
per imperial quarter; English and foreign grinding ditto,
245. 6d. to 25.. 6d. per 400Ibe. ; Devon and Welsh feed oats,
17s. to 188. per imperial quarter; Irish white ditto, 18s. 6d.
to 20s. per 3201b5. ; Irish black ditto, 17s. 3d. to 178. 9d.
per imperial quarter ; English beans, 38s. to 425. per ditto;
foreign ditto, 33r. to 38s. per 4801hs. The arrivals on ship-
board for the week have been-Wheat, 4,700 qrs. • oats,
4,7.58 bell.; barley, 370 brls. 480 qrs.; flour, 1,09 sacks

following averages-Wheat, 425. 7d. ; oats, 17a. Sd. ; barley,
345. 801. ; beans, 36a.

DEvizze, April 21.-We had a very small supply of
Wheat to-day, a few of the best lots realised ls. per qr.
above last week's orices, hut the middling and inferior par-
cels were no higher. Barley in short supply, with prices
about as last week. Oats, Beans, and Peas in short supply,
but no alteration in price. Tares, 61. 92. to 7s. per

Flour, fine, per sack, 375. to 40s. ; seconds, 32.. to 365.
NEWARK, April 20.-At our market to-day Wheat was
moderately sought after, and the prices of our last week's
report fully realised. The finer samples of Barley were also
disposed of at about the same quotations as before. Oats
and Beans were in good supply, and obtained pretty much
the same value as last week. The market was well at-
tended, and an abundant supply of all grain offering at late
rates. Averages : Wheat, white, from 525. to 665. ; red, 475.
to 50s. ; grinding Barley, 28.. to 30a. ; making ditto, 325.
to 355. • Oats, new, 20.. to 235.; old, 225. to 24.5. ; Beans,
now, 3is. to 385.; old, 421. to 445. per qr.
NEWBURY. April 21.-The supply of Wheat this day
was quite moderate, which met a slow sale at barely the
prices of last week. The supply of Barley not large, and
fully maintained late rates. Oats rather dull. Beans and
Peas steady.
UXBRIDGE, April 21.-The trade is dull. Wheat is un-
altered in value ; the average price is 48s. per qr. ; the best
price 61s. Spring corn sells slowly, the demand fur seed
being nearly over.

WATERFORD, April 20.—Our market since Saturday has
been dull and inactive, owing to the depressing accounts
from London and Liverpool, and with the exception of Oats
and Indian Corn, which fully maintain their value, all articles
can be purchased on lower terms than at the close of last
week. Arrivals only moderate.
EDINT11:11011, April 20.—We had a little more grain in
the market to-day. Wheat was heavy of sale, and a down-
ward tendency, while Barley was good. Oats were dull,
and down. Beans better. Wheat, 445. to 645. 6d. Barley,
295. 9d. to 38s. Oats. 19s. to 255. Beans, 325. to
1365. 6d.

GLAS(IOW, April 20.—With the exception of 1,400 qrs. of
Wheat from the Baltic, the reported arrivals from abroad
are this week on a moderate scale. Sales of Wheat and
Flour have been pressed during the week, and somo transac-
tions occurred at reduced prices, but buyers generally re-
mained on the reserve. Forspring corn of all kinds previous
rates were required. At this day's market the sales of Wheat
were generally at a decline of about Gd. per boll, but no
extent of business had resulted at the close, although there
was rather more disposition to purchase. American Flour
6d. per barrel cheaper, but for sacks previous rates were re-
quired. Oats and Oatmeal dull, and nominally unaltered
in value. Fine Barley fully as dear. Beans as before.
Imports for the week: Wheat 1.500 qrs.; Flour, 1,251
sacks, 650 brls. ; Oats, 253 qrs.; Barley, 360 ; Beans, 30s. ;

amount to those of last week. There were 199 Bonus, 961
Sheep, and 118 Pigs penned.

SALFORD, April 20.—We have had a liberal supply of
Beasts for the season, but small of Sheep. The attendance
even from distant parts is on the increase, and all fair to
good stock, whether beef or mutton, finds ready sale at the
full rates of this day week. Little if anything unsold.

BISHOPSTOKE MARKETS, April 21. The supply
of Cheese was exceedingly good for the season of the year—
about 200 tons, nearly the whole of which sold freely at
advanced prices. The attendance at the opening Cattle and
Corn market far exceeded the most sanguine expectations
of its promoters. The supply of Sheep any Lambs was
exceedingly good, both in quantity and quality, and sold
readily at remunerating prices.
