' PRODUCE.—AiTwERP, April Coffee : Daring
the last few days the market has been very quiet, and priests
are barely supported. Of good ordinary Brazil, about 1.500
bags found buyers, at 191 c. to 201 c. We ouote Java, 231 c.
to 24c., but it is expected that prices will give way in conse-
quence of the unfavourable result of the public sales in Hol-
land.—Cotton is very flat, and no improvement ran be
expected until the political and financial affairs are more
'cult d.—Sugar The demand is restricted to the supply of the
most urgent exigencies. Stocks are very heavy, and a further
decline is generally looked for. We quote Havana,l2 to 131 fl.
for low to fine yellow.—Rice continues neglected: of East
India sorts the stocks are very heavy: Caroline, 12 to 13111.
Hides : We have several arrivals from Monte Video. There
is no change in prices to report. A good deal would be done
but for the scarcity of money. We quote River Plate Hides
at 23c. to 381 c. ; Rio Grande, 15c. to 18c.—T, hacco meets
with a regular demand. 100 hhda. Maryland and Ohio were
done at 20c, to 21e. A few lots of fine Havana sold at 110 c.
HAMBURG, April 4.—Business in general is very flat, on
account of the political events in our neighbourhood. The
demand for most articles is very limited, and purchases
are made only to supply immediate wants.—Ot Coffee,
about 600 bags Brazil ; 1,000 hags Domingo ; and 2,000
bags Ls Guayra, have found buyers at very irregular prices.
Stock on hand 31st of March, 8,500 tons, monism 7,250 tons
in 1847.—Cotton flat. A few hundred bales American
changed hands at lower prioes.—Hides The unsettled stateof
things in Prussia, and the small stock of suitable qualities,
mainly contribute to the flatnessof this ai tide. We quere dried
Buenos Ayres at 4s. to 61s. ; average lots, 40. to 555. ; Rio
Grande, 41s. to fn.—Sugar: In order to effect sales, lower
rates must be submitted to. The demand is very limited,
and price. must be considered nominal.--Spiam : Very little
doing. We quote Cassia Lignea, 71s. to 71s. per lb. ; Su-
matra Pepper, fp. to 21s. ; Carolina Rice, 121 m. to 15m.
per 10016. ; Bengal Rice, 7m. to 9m.

TALLOW.—TaIIow is quiet on the spot, at 525. 3d.
October to December, 465. 6d.; separate months, 475. The
trade continue their purchases of new Tallow.

CORN.- HEMEL If EMPSTED, April .5.- Old
Wheat, 35e. to 375. per load of 5 bushels ; new, 30s. to 335.
Beans, 21s. to 21s. Peas, 25a. to 28s. Barley, 295. to 335.
per qr. Oats, 20s. to 265.
HeLL, April 7.-Although Wheat has not been freely
offered, the millers have however succeeded in buying at
la. to 2s. per qr. decline. Barley, Ia per qr. lower. Beans,
Pens, Oats, and Tares, same as last week, with a slack de-
mand. Rye Meal moves off steadily at unaltered rates.
Nitrate of Soda finds a retail sale at 15s. per cwt. Linseed
Oakes: The production of Hull-made being dimirdshed, and
• steady demand continuing, the price has been maintained
It 91. 10s. per ton. Foreign, being in good supply. are sold
somewhat cheaper from the ship, the prima ranging from 71.
up to 81. per ton, according to quality. For Rape Cakes
there has bees less demand than of late. Bones have
met a steady sale at the rates of last week ; the ar-
rivals of Linseed this week amount to about 2,807
qrs.: comprising 2,260 qrs. from Odessa ; 540 qrs. from
Ystad ; and 14 bags from Carlskamn. Owing to the stagna-
tion in the Oil market, and the low price of Cake, crushers
buy very sparingly, and only to supply the immediate wants
at their mills ; many of which are about being closed, unless
things alter for the better. Tke Odessacargo is on crushers'
account, and is going forward. Stocks in the vrarebouses,
a• well as in the mill', are very small. The sales consist
principally of small remnants of landed parcels at Is. per qr.
reduction in prioe-say, Black Sea, 455. to 455. Gd. ; middling
Petersburg, 41s. ; Riga, very fine, 435., down to 34.15. for
inferior; Memel and Konigsberg, good crushing, 405., down
to 35.. per qr. for inferior quality. Rapeseed is slow of sale,
and fine Danish is nominally 261. to 271. per last. The
accounts from Belgium respecting the young plant are
unfavourable. Foreign imports into Hull during this week:
Linseed, 2,807 qrs. ; Rapeseed, 939 ; Wheat, 2,161 ; Barley,
1,888; Oats, 1,110; Beans, 4,290 ; Peas, 170; Tares, 1,191.
LINCOLN, April 7.-We had nothing doing at our market
to-day. We had a swill show of Wheat, which met a very
dull sale, at 3.. ts 4s. lower than list week. Red, 425. to
465. ; white, 455. to 51s. Nothing doing in Barley, Oats, or
Beans.
LITEUPOOL, April 7.-At ttis day's market we have to
reiterate a very languid and indifferent trade for old Wheat
of all descriptions: the importers cf foreign, however, tired
of so frequently conceding lower prices, refused to submit to
any further reduction this morning, and for such, of which
very few sales were feasible, we retain our last quo-
tations ; whilst, all qualities of new receding Id.
to 20. per 70165., the transactions therein were
upon a moderate scale at that abatement. Home-made and
Irish Flour, although in slow request, was held at Tuesday'a
rates; but States and Canadian, except choice brands of old,
declined Gd. per barrel, Malting Bari y, from the Into
period of the working season, was the turn cheaper; grind-
ing samples on the contrary remained stemsy in value, and
Malt was rather dearer, prime qualities commanding pith. per
qr. Beans and Peas, upon a limited inquiry, hardly main-
tained former prices. Oats and Oatmeal, exciting little at-
tention, were slightly depressed in value. Indian Corn,
being offered 6d. to Is. per qr. lower, met a fair demand for
Ireland ; and Corn Meal was rather more saleable, at • de-
cline of Gd. per barrel-Arrivals from the 4th to the Bth of
April inclusive, into Liverp•ol : Wheat, 4,177 qrs.;
Barley, 1,726 ; Malt, 970 ; Oats, '2,815; Beans. 4,478;
Peas, 884; Indian Corn, 11,160 ; Indian Corn Meal, 000
brls.; Oatmeal, 2,162 sacks; Flour, 4,301 sacks, 2,000 brie.
Rtrox, April 6.-Our supply of Wheat at this day's mar-
ket was very limited, but fully equal to the demand.
Grain of every description heavy of sale, at last week's prices.
Wheat, white, 6s. 6d. to 7s. 3d. ; red, 6a. to 7e. Beans, is.
to 6s. per bush. Barley, 325. to 355. Oats, 20s. to 23e.
SCAIIHOROUGH, April 6.-Little Wheat is offered to.day,
and but little is wanted. The trade is excessively dell, and
in what husiseso ia done a decline of 3d. to sd. per 5 stones is
submitted to. Some inquiry for Seed Barley and Oats, and
for this purpose fully last week's rates are paid. The de-
mand for Flour is languid ; most of the dealers are in full
stock, and are anxious to get through before the warm weather
injuries it.
WAKEFIELD, April 7.-We have a large arrival of Wheat
to report. A good proportion is inferior old, and of new there
is oaly a moderate show of samples. The trade-greatly in-
fluenced by the depressed state of the manufacturing dia-
tricts, and consequent reduced consumption-is very dull and
inactive ; the prices last week were, from the limited busi-
ness, generally of a nominal character ; we reduce our quota-
dons Is. to 2s. further, but at this decline there is more dis-
position to purchase. Barley is firm and quite as dear. Oats
and Shelling each dull, without variation in value. Beans
of fine quality are fully as high, but second sorts are slow
sale and rather lower. No alteration in other article,. The
following are the present prices : Wheat, per quarter
60Ib. to the bushel, Suffolk, Essex, and Kent, red,
new, 495. to 505.; extra, 514.; white, 50s. to 525.; extra, 645.
