MARKETS.

COl TON—LtogneooL, Arum 12.—The rnarket closed
very firmly, with every description of cotton fully as dear
as as Friday. The gales were estimated at 6,000 bales,
and comprised 6,000 American (1,000 for export and 1,000
on speculation) ; 140 Pernam and Maranham, at 611. to
Go.; 20 Bahia, at 61 d. ; 300 Egyptian, at .50. to Bd. ;
300 Surat, at 30. to 4g.; and 60 Sea Islands, at 22d. to
'2a. sd.
MANCHESTER, AFILIL 12.—The market is quiet, but
firm. The spinners of flee yarns have had a good demand,
and have obtained a trifling advance in prices. In the
lower and medium counts of yarn much has depended on
the prices asked, and where spinners have emulated the
Liverpool cotton trade, in seeking an advance of rates, hut
little business has been effected; where moderate rates
have been sought buyers have operated more freely, hut
generally speaking prices are very firm. Ia cloth, prices
are very firm, and there is nearly an average business—ex-
cept for domestics, which are still in limited request as con-
trasted with the make of these cloths. Both in yarn and
cloth there appears to be a fair demand, but it is checked by
the upward tendency of prices. Spinners are also a good
deal harassed by the demands of the operatives for an ad-
vance of wage'. At Bolton the hands in the fine trade
made a demand for 10 per cent. rise some weeks ago, which
led to a compromise, resulting in an advance of 5 per cent. At
Bury a similar demand was also compr mnised in same cases. At
Preston, Blackburn, Oldham, Ashton, and other towns,
demand has been made for a 10 per cent. advance ;
bat the operatives and their employers have not
been able to come to an und,rstanding. The spinners of
low numbers of yarn have other difficulties in the way ;
!Cotton is Id. per lb. higher than this time last week, whilst
oil, straps, and geering, which form heavy charges on the
millowners, ere all considerably dearer. Under these cir-
cumstances it will be difficult to meet the demand of the
operatives, and there is a strong disposition to resist them.
The weavers are probably deterred from seeking an ad-
vance by the fast that part of their number—some thou-
sands of the hands on domestics—are only working fear
days per week.

WOOLLEN CLOTH.—LrEns, Arm 12.—The stock
of cloth id the markets was go considerably reduced on Sa-
turday, and not being replenished this morhing 11 any
quantity of fresh goods, there was scarcely any choice to
purchase from ; the amount of business that has been done
to-day, has been consequently of a limited character.
Prices ars advancing, and orders are constantly refused,
except at higher rates.

WOOLS.—licrinzasrtEcn, April 12.—We have a good
business doing in the middle and better qualities of German
and Colonial Wools, and prices are firm ; but in other sorts
of low Wools there is some little falling off in the demand.

MANUFACTURES. HUDDERSFIELD, April 12.—A
fair quantity of goods was brought to market to-day, but
the demand for them has not been quite so brisk as for a few
weeks back. A few pieces in new patterns, adapted for the
spring trade, were shown in the Cloth-hall, and disposed of
at good prices.

CORN.-111:tx, April 12.—At to-day's market we had
a very short supply of farmers' Wheat, which met a pretty
ready sale at about Is. below the prices of last week. Only
a retail sale for foreign. Nothing doing in Barley. Oats
fully as dear. Beans rather improved sale, at the reduction
noted last week. No demand for Peas. A very dull Lin-
seed market. We again reduce our quotations for Linseed
Cakes but there is a fair consumptive sale thereat.. No
Rapeseed offering. Rape Cakes are scarce, and ss. per ton
dearer, with no foreign left. Imports from April 2 to
April 8 : Wheat, 2,920 qrs.; Barley, 1,510 ; Beans, 3,000 ;
Tares, 140; Linseed, 4,3%; Bones, 340 tons.

LEEDS, April 12.—Our arrivals of grain continue very
limited ; the decline in London, and the inactive state of
the flour trade, cause our buyers to restrict their purchases
of Wheat to the smallest possible extent, and the little buel.
nese done is at Is. per qr. under the rates of last week.
Select samples of Barley an ready sale. Beans move slowly.
Oats and other articles as before. Arrivals this week :
Wheat, 1,655 qrs.; Oafs, 110; Barley, 1,005; Beans, 211;
45;
Peas,
Shelling, 84 ; Rapeseed, 153.

LIVERPOOL, April 12.—The receipts into this port during
the week consist of a fair quantity of Oats and Oatmeal
from Ireland, but of other articles thence, or anything coast-
wise, we have little to notice; from the United States,
however, the imports include a liberal supply of Wheal,
with • further very large increase of Indian Corn and
and Flour, and from Spain and various parts of the Medi-
terranean, fair arrivals of Wheat, Baxley, Maize, and Flour.
Notwithstanding these abundant importations and the de-
pression noted in London yesterday, the general state of our
trade this morning has been tolerably steady ; we
had a good number of buyers in attendszee, and a fair busi-
ness transacting in Wheat, chiefly for the interior, at Fri-
day's rates for all fresh qualities, as well of middling as
superior classes • inferior and stale descriptions are, how-
ever, very unsaleable, at an uncertain reduction of value.
There was also a good extent of business doing in Flour,
with a partial decline of 6d. per barrel since this day se'n-
night, but upon the whole rather better terms than were
accepted at the close of the week. Barley is neglected to-
day ; but Malt, Beans, and Peas are steady, with a mode-
rate demand. Oats and Oatmeal scarcely vary in value,
but the trade is less active. White American Corn sells in
fair quantity at le. reduction; the market remains nearly
bare of yellow, and prices are nominal. Arrivals from the
sth to the 11th April, inclusive, into Liverpool and Run-
corn:—Wheat, 18,082 qrs. ; Barley, 1,760; Malt, 873;
Oats, 7,515 • Beans, 623 ; Peas, 63 ; Indian Corn, 24,985 ;
Oatmeal, 7,944 sacks ; Flour, 6,309 sacks and 41,776 barrels.
Exports to Ireland :—W heat, 1,001 qrs. ; Indian Corn,
3,752; Oatmeal, 365 sacks; Flour, 667 sacks and 1,040
barrels.
LYNN, April 12.—Farmers being much engaged in spring
sowing, supplies are small, and the trade dull for Wheat, at
about Is. per qr. decline. Very little else at market.
The following were current prices :—Wheat, old, 621bs. to
631b5., 465. to 48s. per qr. to the growers; best, new, 681bs.
to 591b5., 395. to 415.; ditto, rune, 55Ibs. to 581b5., 355.
to 38s. Barley, 28s. to 325. Beans, 325. to 365.
NEWCASTLE, April 12.—The weather still continues as
favourable as could be wished for seeding and agricultural
operations, but the temperature is low for the season. At
our market this morning we had a moderate show of Wheat
from the growers, and, although the arrivals have been
equally so, the unfavourable report from Mark-lane pro-
duced a corresponding feeling here, so that when it was ne-
cessary to clear vessels, a concession of fully Is. per qr. had
to be made. This decline, however, did not extend to
graneried parcels, which were held firmly. Flour moves
off very slowly, and must be written fatly Is. per sack
cheaper. For Rye we had no inquiry. The weather still
keeping favourable for malting, tine Barley sold pretty
freely ; whilst red samples were much sought after, and
commanded long prices. Grinding without change. In
Malt little stirring. Beans and Peas without material al-
teration; whereas Oats, on an extended inquiry, were the
turn higher.

CATTLE.-SALTOBvRY, April 12.-This morning we
were barely supplied with Beasts of a very meagre descrip-
tion ; and the attendance of buyers was moderately good.
The demand for good ox Beasts, which were extremely
scarce, was more active, and prices were a shade higher ;
but for inferior animals the trade was dull, and last market's
quotations were sustained. The supply of Sheep was also
very limited, and those of the best quality are very rare.
From the extremely high rates demanded on the part
of the graziers the trade was very sluggish, but, however,
a clearance was effected, and prices had an upward ten-
dency. There were not any Lambs on offer ; but we hear
that tho prices asked in effecting private sales are enor-
mously high, and retailed by the butchers at from 9d.
10d. per lb. The supply of Calves was heavy as to
number, and the best things brought full rates; and,
though prices advanced slightly, we do not alter quotations
of this day fortnight. The supply of Pigs was good, for
which there was au adequate demand, and prices continue
to advance both for live and dead stock. Prices : Best Ox
Beet, 10s. to 10s. 6d. per store ; cow and heifer, 9s. to 9s. 6d.
Best Down Mutton, lid. to Bd. per lb.; long-woolled and
inferior, 7d. to 7fd. Veal, 61. to 6fd. Pork, fresh and salt,
61d. to 71d. per lb., and 10s. to 10s. 6d. per score. Bacon,
green, per lb., 7fd. to Bd. ; dry, 81d. to 9d. ; ditto, per
score, Ws. to 10s. 6d. Store Pigs, 18s. to 30s. each. Milch
Cows, with calves, IW. 10s. to 121. 10s.
