MAMMAS

°CATON. —LIVIERPOOL, MAT L—The sales of cotton
to-day are estimated at 8,000 bales. A steady market at
tin full prices of yesterday.

carroN GOODS.—MANcienavra, MAY I.—The market
continues active so farm yarns are concerned, and a good
deal of business hes been does for nearly all markets ex-
cept that of Calcutta, for which the demand is rather flat.
Mad Maas of mule twist have been in request for Bombay,
and a rather active demand has been experienced for Ber-
-1 homy and the Mediterranean. Home trade buyers operate
with moderate freedom. The result is that most kinds of
yam are a shade dearer--in some cases fully id. per lb.
over the rates of this day week. Some nssierate sales of
water-twist are reported for China. In cloths them has
been a good bushels for the fabric. suited to India, and
prices are very arm. Where there is any change in quota-
tions, It is in favour of sellers. Printing cloths are quieter,
but there has been rather more doing in the heavier
fabrics of this class suitable to the home trade. Cloths
have also been in rather better demand suited to the South
American markets.

WOOLLEN.—Lans, M I.—The attendanoe in the
cloth-halls was about as usual this morning. hut the tone
was rather flat, and tranosetions took place only to a mode.
rate extent.

MANUFACTITRIN.—HUMARKFILLD, MAY I.—There
are fewer buyers in the market today than usual, but a
favourable chmge in the weather having taken place, bas
caused an impre red demand for light summer goods, but in
all the other deemiptions usual in this market, business in
much duller than formerly.

WOOLS.—Honnanisendm„ MAT I.—The wool trade is
quite inactive, and where dealers are willing to give way in
price a little, it le no inducement for manuticturen to pur.
chase who prefer waiting till the forthcoming sales in an-
ticipation of still lower prices.

COlN.—Hutt, MAT I.—At to-day% market a moderate
supply of English wheat. Buyen endeavour to obtain
some reduction, which is resisted by growers, and in the
little business passing late prices are about maintained.
Foreign held firmly, but little doing. Barley for malting,
owing to the change in the weather, scarcely sells so well as
during the week, whilst grinding, from scarcity, commands
rather more money. Beaus and peas wanted at prices in
favour of edicts. Oats scarce, and better qualities much
sought after at Bd. to L. per qr. advance. The foreign
imports last week are as tinder ;—Wheat, 2,781 qrs.; burley,
7,463 ; oats, 333 ; beans, 1,829; peas, 635 ; tares, 1,431;

NEWCASTLZ, MAT 1.--The market is affected by the fine
weather, and the wheat trade very slow at norairelly Satur-
day's rates. Flour difficult to sell, but holders resist any
decline. Malting barley unsaleable; grinding sorts not
much inquired for. Oats quiet, but held at full rates. In
beans and peas a retail sale, at Saturday's prices.
SAuescay, MAT 1.-To-day's market was very fully sup
plied with wheat, sod there was also a large attendance,
with a reaction in the trade ; business was only moderately
good, but prices may be considered in some instances front

but not in heavy demand, and prices remained the same as

against the buyers. Malt trade slow, and prices un-
altered. In other respects there was no quotable altera-

ket there was a short though seasonable supply of boots,
but the quality very prune. There was a good attendance I
of buyers and country butchers, but notwithstanding tho
trade was slow, in consequence of the high prices asked ;
however, a total clearance was ultimately effected, at the
extreme rates of last market. The uiunber of sheep on
offer was extremely limited, there being tartly suf-
ficient for the requireruenta of the trade, and conse-
quently very full terms were made. We bad an
increased supply of calves, all .of which met • ready
side at high prices. In the pig department there was a de.
crease in the supply, anil the businesswas ratherslackerthan
