MARKETS.

CO'LTON.—Llvttaroor., MAT 12.—The market closed
tamely and firmly, and, compared with the rates of Friday,
all kinds were the same, although the choice of solid Ame-
ricans about 61d. is not so good as last week. The sales
amount to 7,000 bales, and comprise 6,000 Americans (700
for export and 500 on speculation) ; 300 Pennine and Ma-
ratihams, at Qd. to 71d.; 300 Egyptian, at Qd. to 144.;
500 Surats, at 3d. to 41d.

MANCHESTER, MAT 12.—We have bad rather more
business doing is both yarns and cloths, at very full prices.
Some qualities of yarn, as well as some few makes of cloth,
might be mentioned, which are somewhat depressed; but
generally speaking where producers have been willing to
take the current rates they have found a ready sale for their
goods. In some kinds of yarn spinners are demanding ad-
vanced rates. Common 40's mule yarns, such as are pro-
duced in the neighbourhood of Moseley, Oldham, and Lees,
are very scarce, and are hardening in price, whilst the diffi-
culties (in many cases still unsettled) arising from the turn-
out of hands for increased wages, are rendviog the sup-
ply still more uncertain and limited. The finer twists
from superior qualities of cotton, such as are produced at''.
Bolton, are also very scarce, and are difficult to buy at last
week's quotations. For cop yarns prices have a hardening
tendency very generally. India cloths, such as are manu-
factured at Blackburn, are very firm, and manufacturers
have been indispssed to take orders in consequence of their
weavers having (as we stated on Tuesday) given notice of
a demand for an increase of 10 per cent. in wages, whilst
spinners of the yarn used for these goods are also increas-
ing their prices. The weavers at Blackburn are the first
who have yet given notice of an advance of wages, but the
operative spinners there made the demand for 10 per cent.
advance some time ago, and indeed were amongst the first
in the manufacturing districts will did make it. India
yarns are in good demand, and very firm.

COUN.—BIRMINGUASI, MAY 12.—At Gloucester and
Worcester markets, on the 7th, wheat of all kinds was
about Is. per quarter lower. Barley is improved demand,
at previous rates. Oats realised quite as much money.
Beans unaltered in value. Nothing doing in peas. During
the present week no reduction has been submitted to on the
little wheat which has changed hands. We have more
doing in grinding barley, at 245. to 265. per 3921b5. But
few transactions are reported in oats, yet all qualities are
firmly held for quite as much money. Beans sell readily at
former prices. Peas difficult to dispose of. At this day's
market there was an increased supply of wheat from the
farmers, and lower prices were in some instances submitted
to, but we make no alteration in our quotations. Oa barley,
the turn was in favour of sellers. Oats rather dearer.
Beans advanced ls. per quarter.

BRISTOL, MAY 12.-We have had during the week a
series of cold bleak nights, and in some elevated and ex-
posed situations the frosts have been, for the advanced
period of the spring, unusually sharp. A recurrence of mild
genial weather will therefore be very desirable. The sup-
ply of English wheat at market to-day was not large, and
the demand was inactive. No improvement therefore can
be reported upon the currencies of last week. The remark
will also apply to foreign, in which, and especially in the
low samples, but little is doing, prices being still in favour
of the buyer. Flour is influenced by the price of wheat,
and the recent values have undergone no improvement.
For barley, the demand is unvaried, and last week's rates
arc about supported. There is a tolerable trade doing in oats,
and prices are firm, a remark which will ales apply to beans.
The prices were as follows: English wheat, new, 38s. to
465. per imperial quarter; English red, -s. to -s. per
ditto; foreign white, 48s. to 625. per 4801b5.; foreign red,
extra fine qualities, 435. to 483.0 d. per ditto; tine qualities,
40s. to 425. per ditto ; ordinary qualities, 365. to 395. per
ditto; foreign hard, 355. to 375. per ditto ; English seconds
flour, 31s. to 31s. per sack; United States, &c., sweet, 225.
6d. to 21s. per barrel ; English malting barley, 32e. to 355.
per imperial quarter; English and foreign grinding ditto,
245. to 255. per 4001bs. ; Devon and Welsh feed oats,
17s. to 184. per imperial quarter ; Irish white ditto, 18s. 6d.
to 20e. per 3201b5. ; Irish black ditto, 17s. Gd. to 17s. 9d.
per imperial quarter; English beans, 38s. to 425. per ditto;
foreign ditto, 35i. to 38s. per 4801bs. The arrivals on ship-
board' for the week have been-Wheat, 11,800 quarters ;
oats, 8,691 brig., 850 qrs.; barley, 5,339 qrs.; beans, 185 qrs.;
flour, 2,600 bele., 360 sacks. fhe official return of the
corn inspector gives the following averages-Wheat, 40s.
9d. ; oats, 19s. Gd.; barley, 331. ; beans, 40s. 101
DevicEs, May 12.-We had a fair supply of Wheat. The
hest qualities maintained last week's price; but the in-
ferior new, which comprised by far the greater part of the
supply, met a very dull sale, and in many instances a de-
cline in price. Barley was in very small supply, but what
little was for sale realised previous prices. In Oats, Bean•,
and Pea. no alteration. Wheat, white, 565. per qr. ; best
red, 51s. to 545. ; middling, 395. to fits. ; inferior, 325. to 395.
Barley, 265. to 395. Oats, Its. to 265. Brans, Ms. to 425.
Peas, 31.. to 495. Flour, fine, per sack, 365. to 395. ;
seconds, 31s. to 13s.

•
NEWARK, May 11.—Our market to-day was very thinly
attended on account of the near approach of our great annual
May fair, and constituently there has been but a !mall
bu,iness done. The show of samples was proportionate to
the attendance, and the day's operations were somewhat
dull and languid. The condition of the various kinds of
grain offering was good, and the prices of last week under-
' went no change. Averages : Wheat, white, from Us.
' to Us.; red, 475. to 48.. ; grinding Barley, 275. to 30.. ;
malting ditto, Us. to 313. ; Oats, new, 203. to 235.; old,
U.. to 21s. ; Beans, new, 375. to 405.; old, 12s. to 445.
per qr.

orted. •
