MARKETS.

OOTTON.—Licsaroot., Mix 10.—A fair amount of busi-
ness he. been done at yesterday's prices. The salmi are
1,000 bake, including 6,750 American, at !id. to Std;
1,000 Surat, W. to 4141. ; 150 EgTP4Mo, Bd. to 10d ; 40
Peraam, 71d. to fled. ; 30 Bahia, 71.1. ; 30 Marankam, 73d.;
d which 1,000 are for speculation and export. The week's
import is 44,712 bales.

WOOL AND WORSTED.—BRAIWORD, MAY 10.--The
London wool saki are turning out very different to pre-
vious expectation. It was thought prices would rule lower
by • penny or twopence per pound, but ouch is not the ewe ;
for although the sales opened at a slight decline, this was
recovered immediately, and prices may be quoted quite as
high as at the March sales. Not much of the wool has
been bought fur the Bradford market, but nevertheless our
market has been favourably influenced by the spirit evinced
at these sales. There has been • better feeling during the
week, and sorts most in request have been sold at stiffer
prices. This remark does not apply to Down woods,
Of which there is a more abundant supply. Holders
of this deeeription of wool have submitted to a slight
reduction in price, being anxious to clear out be-
fore the new wool comes into the market. The
supply of wool generally is ample fur the time of the year.
In 0011$ and shorts the market is kept bare, and urban are
• little firmer. There is more doing in worsted yarns to.
day, especially in the export branch. Buyers have been
diligent in making inquiries, awl some °niers have been
given. In the home trade business is steady any
change, • little more active. Prices remain unalteret
There has also been rather more doing in plasma ; but the
market continues in O Oepreseoll state. The palms of goods
are lower than the east of production, awl the business of
the manufacturers is an unprofitable cue. The results of the
failure of the spring,tnule are being severely felt in some
quarters. A hope is entertained of relief, as regards the
price of the raw material, when the new Crup to brought into
ounsimption.

CORN.—BIRMINGHAIII, MAT 10. —At Gloucester market,
on the sth, wheat was Is. per quarter lower ; at Worcester,
the same day, a decline of Is. to 2s. per quarter was re.
luctantly submitted to. Barley dull, but unaltezed in v..lue.
Oats quite as dear. Beaus and peen rather higher. but ing
the present week, the little wheat disposed of has been at a
reduction of about le. Bd. per quarter. Barley only taken
retail. Oats firm. Beans tending upwanls. At W..lven
hampton, yesterday, there was a fair supply of wheat, and
to effect sales Is. to 2a. per quarter hue had to be u.
At this day's market there was a less supply of wheat
from the farmers, which mold slowly at barely last we..k's
rates, but we make no alteration in our quotations .4 any
description. Fine barley la. per quarter lower ; secondary

MAIWIMITTI, MAT 10.—Thu morning's market was
moderately attended, and although buyers of English wheat
endeavoured to obtain a reduction in the value, holders were
firm, and only a limited business resulted. Foreign wheat
was more pressingly offered, and must be quoted 2d. per
70 lbs. cheaper: Floor was slow of sale, and in some in.
stances rather in favour of buyers. The demand for oats
end oatmeal was restricted, at previous rates. English
beau were is. per quarter dearer, but Egyptian beans and
Indian corn each declined Is. per quarter.
NEWARK, MAT 9.—A moderate supply of grain at mar.
ket. There was an increased desire to buy wheat to-day at
the prices of last week. Malting barley did not go off 90
freely, but grinding qualities and also oats and beam
brought full prises.

Nuwanav, MAT 10.—We had • fair supply of wheat,

anoe being effected. Merely a retail trade in larley at.

WATBRPORD, MAT 9.—With the 'exception of oats, of
which we have had a fair quantity on offer by boat from

moderately supplied with cheese, beat samples of old cheese
