MARKETS.

SILK .—Doring the post month there has been fair activity
in the silk market, in wh•ch the demand for export has parti-
cipated to a moderate extent. The prices of Chins silk have
bean fully eupported, and for best Towline and coararaTig-
seams, on account of their worthy, there his been a t
&demos—the deliveries are largo-7,226 bales. The China
letters to the 3rd February report a ray limited business,
about 4,000 Weldor the month, making the total settlements
for the 1110•10111 60,000 baler, against 60,000 bales at the same

WOOL AND WORSTED.—BaaDYOIID, APRIL 7.
The impending dissolution of pediment, and the uncer-
tainty which still penile respecting the prospect of
have had their influence upon the market to-day. IC=
thekes, the transactions of the peat week have been cheese-
Wised by an extreme limner in prices, which are ruling
higher than the aphiners can afford to give. The supply of
wool in the market is not excessivn espeolally of the kinds
most in request. Noils and Aorta keep steady both in de-
mand arid price. The demand for worsted yarn. for home
conemption keeps remarkably steady, and for export there
le more inquiry than there was ; but the Meal melee an yet
made ere only scanty. Lelpsio Ender isle is dose at hand,
and • conaidereble quantity of yarn is usually sold there.
There is • full demand for kinds of fancy goods, and the
manufacturers are full of orders. In plain goods there
little buoyancy, many orders to spring goods having been
delivered. The recent advance in wool yarns makes goods
more costly in the production.

this day etr'nnight. There was no disposition to buy flour,
the hot, brilliant weather of yesterday and to-day causing
the dealers and bakers to bold aloof; on the other hand
millers and futon did not press tales, and in the absence of
Liminess quotations mins as at last market. Other articles
all mkt slowly wlihout change in prices,
