MARKETS.

COTTON.—LtvairooL, JAS. 12. —Ws bays bad t
steady market today, and, compared with the rates &arrest
lest west, mires of all desariptions are unchanged. The,
sales have amounted to 6,000 bales—all by the trade—and
comprising, in addition to Americans, of which about 2.400
ware sold, 230 Penman end Maranharna, 61d. to 7/4.

parts, 45,000 bales.
NAlfaspirrsz, Jaw. 12.—We have had a quiet and
railer &ill market, but a moderato business is doing in
goods suitable to the markets of India; and prime, both in
cotton yarn and cloth, are generally ratter firmly main-
tained.

WOOL —BaAD7ORD, Jan. 12.—Throughout the week,
and to-day, the prices demanded for wool so completely
paralyse the spionen that they will not boy, and a very
meagre bulimia has been done in consequence, for to oover
Nat b imponible, and it is not improbable that farther
martailments in buying will follow. Nob and broke, are
without elmage.—Bradford Observer.

MANUFACTURES.—BIULDPOILD, JAN. 12. Terns :
The business doing is strictly to order, and anything
but an overage of former years. The comparative high
price sought for ail binds of full-bred wools, renders the
spinners' vocation very discouraging. Pieces :—The recent
fire on the 29th Leo. having caused large quantities of
goods to be »mond from the manufaciteren' warehouse,
they have since been brought into the market on terms
favourable to the buyers, and anything so offering deters
regular goods big freely bought. Heavy goods, merinos,
lasting., and misuses, being all wool, area most miserable
trade, the cost of the raw material being such that the
trade is altogether profitless.—Bradford Observer.

Dims', Jam. 12.-We had an extra large supply of
grain of all kinds to-day-a double market in short, owing
to the stagnation of business last week from the inclemency
of the weather. At the opening farmers asked much
higher prices for wheat, which canoed • slow teed*, but
ultimately a fair busbies was done at from ls. to 2s. a qr.
above last week's prices. One lot was sold at 90s. by Mr.
Cook, of Roundway. Barley also was in large supply ;

Nawasx, fur. 11.-Our !market to-day has been but
moderately attended, the breaking up of the frost causing a
resumption of business. Although; the transactions of the
flay have been less extensive, and the supplies but limited,
gut the exchanges may fairly be considered as a reflex of the
trade in this district. In wheat there was another o:Mor-
aliser, @deuce, and there is every appearance of the high
=if 1847 being again realised. Barley was in steady
at • further rise is value, and other grain, though

sions, oontinues to rise, and, is consequence of the high
pretensions of the producers to-day, the sale in the early
part of the day was Tether slack, but from the feet of their

IRONMASTERS' QUARTERLY MEETING.
•
BULMIKONAM, THVISDAY.
The third of the meetings of the ironmasters of this
district for the current guanor was held in the Town Hall
this afternoon ; there was again a very large attendance of
the trade, and many a day has passed since there was so
satisfactory a quarter day—accounts so large and settle-
ments made with such remarkable punctuality. Equally
cheering ere the reports of all concerned in the trade ; si-
multaneously there is lam called for from all quarters, and
for the most varied and novel purposes ; for the United
States end Canada—for the European continent and for
India—for ship•building on the hanks of the Clyde—for
iron-houses for Australia and California—for sheets and
boiler plates—for the usual general purposes of railways
aid for railway carriage building ; the demand just
now will be satisfied only with the produce of years.
Quietly aincs last quarter-day ban have been pat up at
least a pound a ton, without any formal meeting of the
trade ; pigs are worth 10s. a ton more than they were three
months macs; and every parcel of any description of iron
offered to-day was readily taken at current prices.
Tin-plates were called at Is. to Is. 6d. per box higher.
The business of the meeting did not terminate until half-
past 3 o'oloek.
