MARKETS.

BRISTOL, Marten 24.
SCOAR.—The market has been very quiet this weekoind
there has been rather less disposition shown to operate than
for some time past; this may be partly accounted for front
the unsatisfactory state of the relined market, in which the
demand is by no means active, and prices very discouraging t
the manufacturer. The sales reported scarcely reach 2110
Mids. West India, and prices rather in favour of the buyer.
The offices close this afternoon for the Easter recess, and
business will not be resumed before Wednesday next.
Reis is still quite neglected.

INDIGO, &c.—The annexed remarks are extracted from
the monthly circular issued by Messrs. H. W. Jewesbuiy
and Co.: " The chief feature in the Foreign and Colonial
Produce markets since the date of our last, on the 24th ult.,
has been one of considerable dullness, until within the last
wee:, since when an increased inquiry has sprung up fur
several of the leading articles, and • large business has
been done at advanced rates. The arrivals have been large,
but Importers have only supplied the markets sparingly,
with the exception of sugar, consequently even at that pe-
riod when dullness most prevailed, prices continued firm,
and since the favourable turn in our markets a very large
amount of transactions have taken place, principally by pri-
vate contract. The deliveries front the warehouses con-
tinue upon the same large and satisfactory scale as noticed
for some time past ; the abundance of employment in the
manufactuciog districts, and indeed throughout the country
generally, added to a good inquiry fur export, atfords
every prospect that prices will be well supported for some
time to come, should the political affairs of the con-
tinent continue favourable. Dyes and dyeing materials
have been in increased demand, and prices are higher
for indigo and cochineal, and also for dyewoods
generally; the continental produce markets continue finn,
and have an upward tendency. The late accounts from
India and China are not very encouraging for imports,
consequently there has been less demand iu our manufac-
turing districts for goods suitable for those makete, but for
the home trade a geed average business is doing, particularly
in the woollen districts, where the stocks of manufactured
goods continue very light. There has been an increased
demand for money, and rates are rather higher, we now
quote first class paper of short date 3 to 3i, other bills and
securities 31 to 5, and money on call 21 per cent. Since
our last, the demand fur indigo has been very good, both for
consumption end also fur speculative account. About 1,230
chests are reported to have changed hands at a slight ad-
vance upon last sale's rates ; small orders cannot be exe-
cuted under 2d, to 3d. per lb. advance, and but little off r-
iug; from the small quantity yet shipped from Calcutta for
this market, there can only be a very limited supply arrive
in time fur the May sale, added to • hich, the quantity
destined for this port will not in all probability exceed
15,000 chests, against 23,000 chests last year. The quantity
expected front Madras is calculated at 8,000 chests against
nearly 12,000 chests last year ; also the late accounts from
Guatemala are very unfavourable regarding the crops
there, which has further increased the upward tendency of
this article, and holders are very firm. The deliveries to
the 19th inst. have been 6,316 chests, against 7,778 chests,
and the importations 3,208 chests, against 1,618, and the
stock is now 25,772 chests, against 27,476 chests at this time
last year. The stock of Guatemala is now 1,195 serons,
against 938 serons in 1862. By advices from Calcutta we
learn that the demand for the French and Russian markets
had nearly subsided, and that a large proportion of the
quantity offered at public sale had been withdrawn, the
buyers for English account acting with great caution, con-
sequently the market became dull, with a decline of about
10 re. per mound. A more active business was anticipated
in the following week, when a public sale was to take place
The quantity exported from Ist November, 18.12, to 2nd
February, 1853, was—to Greet Britain 3,329 chests, to
France 4,458 chests, and to other places 1,463 chests.
Total, 9,2,10 chests.

COTTON.— Ltentaroox, Makc• 24.—Our market, by
its continued dulness, is still giving evidence that the large
receipts of cotton at the shipping ports of the United States
are controlling and checking our proceedings. There can
hardly be a doubt that the spinners, with their greatly re-
duced stocks, and favourable prospects, would be free and
confident buyers of cotton, were the extent of the crop fully
sad clearly ascertained. As it is, all parties are following out
their own inferences, from the various advices on this im-
portant subject. Many of the buyers and consume rs, under
the hope of a crop of 3} millions, withhold purchases as
much as they possibly can; others, under a strong convic-
tion that the reee,pts will shortly and suddenly fall otf in a
striking manner, are holding their stocks with much firm-
neu and confidence. The effect of this state of things on
our prices, during the present week of five days, has been
that the low qualities of American under " Middling," of
which description our stock is large, are 1-16 d , and possi-
bly, in some instances, Ad. lower. All other kinds—Surats,
Brazils, Egyptians—though dull, are without any quotable
change. The committee of brokers place fair Uplands 6d.,
Mobile 61, and Orleans 61d. 2,060 American and S6O Surat
are reported to have been taken on speculation; 6,620 Ame-
rican, 2,600 Surat, 100 Pernam. for export. The sales for
the week are 43,640 bales.

MANcitesTett, Mitten 24.—The feeling in the yarn
market to-duy has been on the side of buyers, and the busi-
ness transacted has been inconsiderable. It is not likely
more spirit will be manifested until after the holidays, when
there seems to be a probability of some additional orders
being given out. Ia the piece goods market there is no
general change ; the depression which influenced it on
Tuesday continues without variation to-day. There is still
a fair demand for i printers, the lowest qualities being com-
paratively the mostsought after. Prices are in many cases 11d.
per piece lower than this time in February. The value of
Madapollams has also somewhat reduced, though the de-
mand has been rather more than of late, except for the
lower qualities of 32-inch, which are dull of sale ; i grey
printers and shirtings of the best classes, which have for
months past been in great demand, are languid. Jacconets
are dull aside ; the improvement which took place about a
month ago in the prices of low 5 to 8 pick qualities has been
entirely lost, and makers will accept lower rates now than for
some months previously. Better kinds are also weak in
price. Figured and brocade shirtings have maintained
themselves in their previous favourable po,ition. The
leading makers are engaged for two or three months to
come.

CORN.—BinwtwowAx, MAI/ow 24.—At this day's mar-
ket there was a short supply of new wheat, which was
taken off at the currency of this day se'nnight. Old and
foreign difficult to quit. Barley, a slow sale, but lower
prices were not generally submitted to for any description.
Oats nearly maintained their value. No al.eration in beans
or peas. _ _

BRISTOL, MARCH 21.-We have experienced in this dis-
trict for some time past cold but dry weather, very favourable
to the prosecution of out-door occupations in farming,and the
reports from the surrounding neighbourhood are favour-
able generally. The market has been but scantily sup-
plied with English wheat to-day, and there was rather more
business doing. In some instances buyers submitted to a
trifling advance upon last week's currencies, and the tone of
the market was altogether firmer. Foreign was also more
in request ; and although values were not quotably higher,
yet parcels were more firmly held. For flour we expe-
rienced a good consumptive trade, and prices were quite as
high as at last week's market. In malting bar:ey there
was very little business doing, and sellers submitted to a
further decline of from 6d. to Is. per quarter. Even fine
quality samples in many instances failed to attract buyers,
while inferior qualities were of remarkably dull sale.)
Grinding parcels were in moderate request, but prices were
rather in favour of the buyer. There was very
little inquiry for oats, and the currencies of
this day se'nnight were barely supported. Beans
were also of limited sale, and the turn cheaper.
The prices were ati follows:-English new wheat, 385.
to 465. per imperial quarter ; ditto, old wheat, 485. to
64e. per ditto; foreign, white, 50s. to 545. per 480Ihs. ;
foreign, red, extra fine qualities, 475. to 301. per ditto;
ditto, fine qualities, 435. to 46e. per do. ; do., ordinary
qualities, 41s. to 431. per ditto; foreign, hard, 425. to
445. per ditto English seconds flour, Ws. to 365. Od
per sack; foreign, 255. Od. to 265. 6d. per barrel.
English malting barley, 345. to 365. per imperial quarter;
English and foreign grinding ditto, 235. to 265. Od. per
4001b5. Devon and Welsh feed oats, 17s. 6d. to 18s. per
imperial quarter; Irish white, ditto, 18s. 6i. to 19s. 6d.
per 3201 be. ; Irish black ditto, 17s. Od. to 18s. per im-
perial quarter. English beans, 38s. to 425. per ditto;
foreign ditto, 365. to 381. Od. per 4801bs. The arrivals n
shipboard for the week have been : -Wheat, 3,600
quarters ; oats, 2,019 barrels, 637 quarters; barley, 2,090
quarters, 470 barrels; beans, 1,435 quarters; flour, 5,50
sacks. The official return of the corn inspector gives the
following averages :-Wheat, 435. ld. ; oats, 19s. 2d. ; bar-
ley, 325. 10d. ; beans, 395. Bd.

CHELMSFORD, March 24.—The supply was small of
Wheat to•day, and the condition somewhat improved;
there was a better tone in the market, and the prices of last
week were rather exceeded for red; white about the same.
Red, 425. to 4GL ; extra, 471. ; white, 48s. to 525. ; extra,
531. Barley rather, easier. Beans and other spring corn
firm.

DIVIZES, March 24.—We had a pretty good supply of
Wheat, which was still in very bad condition ; neverthless,
a good clearance was early made at prices fully equal to
thou of last week; the turn was in favour of the seller.
Barley was in fair supply for the time of year, and met a
very brisk sale at fully last week's prices. In Oats, Beans,
and Peas no alteration.

LINCOLN, March 24.—Owing to our market day having
been changed this week we have only had a limited supply
of Wheat; red was in good demand at from ls. to `2a. ad-
vance ; white not much enquired for, but realised the ex-
treme rates of lut week. N cry little passing in Barley, and
prices about ls. lower. Wheat, red, Os. to 475.; white,
50s. Barley, 295. to 335. Oats, 18s. to 20s.
NEWBURY, March 24.—We continue to receive a liberal
supply of Wheat for which there was a steady demand at
late rates. There was also a good supply of garley, which
met a dull sale at barely the prices of last week. 0.1t9,
Beans, and Peas, a steady sale.
-

UXBRIDGE. March 24.—The supply at market to-day is
good and the trade slow, without any improvement in
prices. Wheat, 445. to Ms. ; Barley, 28s. to 15s. ; Beans,
365. to 42.; Pease, 345. to 40s. ; Oats, 19s. to 265. per qr.
Spring Tares, 7s. dd. per bushel.
- '

WAILIFIBLD, March 21.—Our supplies of grain are mo-
derate ; them is rather more steadiness in the Wheat trade,
and, although business is limited, pieta for all descriptions
are fully supported. Fine Barley is quite as dear, but the
light sorts continue very unsaleable. 0.113 4111 Shtlliug
without alteration, and otlkr ortieleb :Li before.
WATERFORD, March 23.—Our supplies of foreign grain
have been small since Saturday last, and deliveries from
farmer. C9/Itlinlie W decrease. The demand ter Wheat is

al,chtly on the increase, but in all other respects the trade
remains precis. ly as it was at the el ,se of last
EDINBURGH, March 23.—At this day's market the sup-
,
ply of grain was lark, particularly Oats. Sales ar,.re
and prices stationary.

CATTLE.—Sm.vonn, March 23.—The supply of Beasts
good, and of Mutton moderate. Beef sold at fully 1.24 wet lie
rates, say Sid. to 60. per lb. Mutton from Gd. to 7d.
- •

Match 23.—There• here was a fair supply of
cattle in this morning's market. The demand was good, et
an advance of 61 per stone. The show of Sheep was good,
and higher rates were obtained.
