MARKETS.

COTTON GOODS.—MANCIISSTER, Aran 21.—The busi-
ness of the week has been unimportant, but the advice@
from Calcutta and Bombay have improved the hello;
amongst buyers a little, and shirting, and T cloths for those
markets are rather steadier, with a better demand. These
cloths were one to five and six wawa dearer at Bombay at
last dates. The state of the money market is also consi-
dered a little more favourable to operations. At the same
time the cotton market affects business a little unfavourably
by inducing buyers in the market generally to bold back for
easier prices. The quantity of cotton that has come forward
is estimated at four million bales, and the crop is now gene-
rally estimated at 4} millions and upwards. The cotton
market has rather a more direct effect, however, upon yarns
than cloths, and many spinners, having shown an anxiety to
sell this week, have been constrained to take rather easier
rates. The Germans have been making more inquiries, but
these have not hitherto led to much business. There are a
considerable number of unfinished contracts still on hand,
especially for cloths, and these help to keep up the steadi-
ness of prices.

WOOLLEN.—Lanne, APRIL 21.—We have had a rather
better market this morning. About the usual number of
buyers attended the cloth halls, but they operated with
more spirit than they have done lately, and consequently
an improved business was done. Ordinary cloths in better
demand, but summer fabrics had only a moderate sale.

to-day, with a short supply, particuliwly of barley. Wheat

Cowarm', APRIL 21.—A small supply of wheat and
other grain. Fanners demanded very high prices for wheat,
far beyond its value to millers, consequently bat little
business resulted. On the few sales made an advance of
Is. to 2s. was obtained. Barley, beans, and peas were each
L. dearer.

6z/wee/nue, Ann. 21.—The cold backward weather,
noted in our List, has continued to the present time, but to:
day we have a little more sun. The market for English
wheat opened with some degree of excitement, but the
large supply changed the tone, and it closed dull at Is. per
qr. advance. Foreign brought a trifle more money. Barley
scarce, and L. dearer. Oat trade brisk at an advance of
dd. to Is. per qr. Imports for the week ending April 21 :
Wheat, foreign, 2,120 gra Barley, foreign, 1,170 yn. Oats,

LEICRKTZR, APRIL 21.—We had about an average show
of wheat from the growers at this corn market to-day, and
considering the time of the year the quality of the sam-
ples shown was tolerably good. Prices were Is. to 22. per
qr. higher ; white was quoted at 565. to 60s. ; red, 525. to
575. per 36 stone. The inquiry for supenor barley was
pretty fa' ir and the supply being limited holders obtained
full rates, and in some oases were enabled to realise rather
more money, sales taking place at 40s. to 46a. per qr. ;
other sorts slow but firm, at Xis. to 36e. per 30 stone. The
show of oats was only moderate, and a brisk demand was
experienced at 6d. per qr. enhancement ; old, 335. to 365. ;
new, 30s. to 345. per 24 stone. The demand for beans

475. per qr. Fine flour, 425. ; seconds, 40s. ; thirds, Ms.
per sack.

NZWCARTLIE, APRIL 21.—Good supply of wheat from
farmers, which has sold slowly at the prices of this day
week. Routh country and foreign held for extreme rates,
and with firmness, but sides only trifling. Flour very firm,
bat quiet. Malting barley dull sales, and prices in favour
of buyers. Oats held for ls. per qr. advance. For beans
and peas more inquiry.
NORWICH, APRIL 21.—The supply of wheat at to.
day's market was somewhat larger than of late. The
millers were not disposed to concede any further advance in
prices, but last Saturday's rates were maintained fur all de-
scriptions. The few samples of barley shown met with
buyers at late quotations. White wheat is quoted this
evening 535. to 545. ; red ditto, 50.. to 525. ; barley, best

OXFORD, APRIL 21.-There was a much larger supply of
wheat at market to-day, but farmers asked high prices,
and in some cues as ranch as 4s. over last week's Hices
was given, the quotations being-White wheat, from an.. to
60s. per qr. ; rod wheat from 465. to 565. ; barley. very
little offering from We. to Rk. bean, were iu demand and

Perennonorou, Aram 21.—At our market to4lay we

thing over the prices of this day week. Barley unaltered.
Osta Is., and beans Is. to 2a. per qr. dearer. Wheat, best

of follbs.

Reamers, APRIL 21.-A short supply of all descriptions of
corn. The trade in wheat opened somewhat briskly, but
there neemeolto be some check, and prices were not much
higher than those of last week. There is now little demand
for barley. except sending samples, prices of which are high.
Oats, beans, and peas, unaltered. Wheat, Ws. to S&M. ;
barley, 30a. to 45e. ; oats, Ire. to 32a. ; beans, 425. to 52a. ;
peas, 38.. to 465. Flour, households, 42a. ; seconds, 38s.
per sack.
'Western', APRIL 21.-The stands at the corn exchange
were not so well supplied with wheat as might have been
supposed, farmers being evidently desirous of holding their
stooks even at the presort advanced rates. At the com-
mencement of the market as much as 4s. per quarter ad-
vance was in many cases demanded for prime wheats ; but
this extravagant demand only checked business. Later in
the day, however, a fair trade was done at an advance of
2a. per quarter on best samples of white and rod, while in-
ferior and secondary lots were hardly saleable at former
' rates. There was a moderate demand for barley, and some
lots for seeding purposes were taken off at slightly improved
rates ; malting kinds were quoted as high as 45e., and
grinding at 25e. to 311 s. The price of oats is still high, and
as holders do not press their sales the value of that article
continues to advance ; some lots for seeding purposes
realised 295. per quarter. Neither beans nor peas were in
much request, but there is no alteration to report in the
price of those descriptions of grain.
WIRBECH, APRIL 21.-The weather still continues very
cold, and little progress is made in vegetation. The supply
of wheat at our market to-day was not large, and farmers
not being willing to make any concession in price, but little
business resulted at the rates of last week. Spring corn
I rather dearer. Prices to the grower :-Wheat, white,
50e. to Me. ; extra, 55e., ti3lbs. per bushel; ditto red,
495. to 521. ; extra, 535. ; rate, Is. 0,31. to Is. Id. per
stone ; beans, 40s. to 445. per qr.
WORCLISTER, APRIL 21.-At this day's market there was
e large supply of wheat from the farmer*, and the trade
ruled dull at an advance of Is. per quarter. Barley still
'came, end Is. to 2.4. per qr. dearer. Oats L. per qr.
higher, but only taken in retail. Beans and peas fully 114
much higher.
YORK, Aran. 21. -At our corn market to-day there was
a tolerable good attendance of farmers and factors, but the
show of wheat was by no means abundant. Farmers asked
an advance of Is. to 25., which buyers would not give, and
last week's prices were ultimately made. White descrip-
tions realised 525. to 565. ; red, 50s. to Ms. per 36 stone.
In barley a moderate share of business was tnursacted, end
select qualities (which were scarce) moved off at prices
quite as high as those of the week precedin , namely 39a. to
44,. per qr. ; secondary lota were also in demaod and fully
sustained former rates, 30s. to 345. per 30 stone. Oats
were hardly en average show, and priors may be termed la
, favour of the seller, samples making 24a. to 28s. per 24
stone. Beans sold steadily, and holders suoseeded in °stab-

hang extreme fermi, 445. to 48e. per 38 stone being the
ruling rates. Rye, 34a. ; malt, 68e. to 70e. per gr. ; flour,
38e. to 40e. per sack.
KFILECALDT, Arum 21.—At our country markets this
week we had only very trilling supplies of wheat and .ato,
and no barley. Prices again la. to 2a. per qr. higher.
Here, to-day, we had small 'applies of wheat and rata, and
only two small parcels of barley. Farmers began by asking
extravagant prices, which checked business, but sales uhi-
n-uttely took place at about le. per qr. advance. Wheat,
48e. to 58.. per qr. ; barley, 38e. to 42a.; oats, 275. to 33e.

WATERMRD, APRIL 21.—The weather this week has
been cold and severe, and vegetation m►kes scarcely any
progress. Supplies of home-grown grain to our market
continue on a limited scale, and we have no arrivals from
abroad. The trade in consequence has been characterised by
great firmness, with gradually advancing prices for all arti.
clew. Farmers' wheat we note Is. 6d. to 2a. per barrel
dearer, and foreign is held for a similar enhancement. Bar.
ley is much wanted, and both malting and grinding are
difficult to be had at ticl. to la. per barrel over last week's
rates. In oats a considerable business has been done, at a
further improvement of 6d. per barrel, and sellers now ask
more money. Indian corn : Early in the week the trans-
actions were limited, but the last day or two some heavy
sales have been made at an advance of 3d. to 6d. per barrel.
Flour Is. to Is. 6d. per sack dearer, with • fair demand.
Imports this week :—Wheat, 30 qrs. • Indian corn, 420.
Exports this week :-Oats, 6,870 barrel's ; flour, 515 sacks.
