OOTTON GOODS.—Manctigerga,JAN.l2. —The market
has been of a quiet and depressed character throughout
the week. The late cotton speculations, by which the
price of the raw material has been repeatedly forced up,
have been neither endorsed by the opinions of spinners,
manufacturers, or the merchants through whose hands the
manufactured goods have to pass into consumption. The
general feeling of the trade here is adverse to higherprioes.
The crop of cotton sent forward last year was the largest
ever known, though the American portion of it was not
large, and the world's supply this year is believed to be
more than sufficient to meet the wants of the trade, unless
it could come at a price which would warrant the prospect
of a much larger consumption than is expected. The state
of many foreign markets is discouraging, and though the
exports for the last year show • grad increase, a good deal
of them are said to have been the result of consignments
by producers, on speculation, and not the result of regular
demand and supply. Prices here to-day are nominally
unchanged, but the tendency is in favour of buyers, who
are slow to operate notwithstanding. There has been very
little business done during the week.

WOOL AND WORSTED.—BRADFORD, JAN. 12.
The wool trade has been rather quiet during the week.
The better classes of wool have been in steady demand for
immediate consumption. There is no change in quota-
tions. The, scarcity in lustre wools and the high rates
demanded by growers still tend to make staplers exceed-
ingly firm and indifferent about business. There haebeen
a degree of quietueu in some departments of the worsted
yarn branch. The export merchants limit their purchases
within the narrowest compass. The principal spinners
of super 30's are well engaged for some tune to come, and
are consequently very firm in their quotations. There has
been a steady business done in single 40's for Russia.
Lustre yarns are less in request. There has been rather
more inquiry for twofold.. Prices are very firm. In
pieces there has been rather more doing on continental
account, particularly for France. The American mer-
chants have operated to a very trifling extent. The house
trade is very flat. The fancy piece trade is unusually
quiet, and ninnufacturers are ill able to keep their ma-
chinery employed. In fact, the worsted trade altogether
is very dull at present. There is no change in prices.

WOOLLEN.—LEEns, JAN. 12.—There has been a thin
attendance of manufacturers and merchants at the cloth
halls this morning, and the amount of business transacted
has been very restricted. The dark state of the weather has
prevented those who have been present from making pur-
chases beyond their actual requirements, and few goods
have left the markets except whet have been delivered
from orders previously given to manufacturers. In the
coloured market the selections have chiefly been in plain
cloths, along with a limited quantity of dark mixture coat-
ings. A few light-coloured tweeds have in some instances
changed hands, though the heavy Ain) of the atmosphere
has put a check upon the transfer of these makes, and ren-
dered it almost impossible for purchases to be made with
anything like accuracy, but with the appearance of clear
bright weather we may expect a revival in this branch of
our manufacture. The white market has also been quiet ;
only a limited number of hairnets have met with pur-
chasers, and mediums have been sparingly sought after.
There have been a few sales effected in heavy goods, in the
way of sorting up, consequent upon the continuance of the
winterly state of the weather. There has not been any
noticeable alteration in prices, which still maintain a firm
position.

HARDWARE.—BIRIIINGHAW, JAN. 12.—The trade of
this town has slightly rallied ; in the coupe of the week a
fair sprinkling of orders has been given out by the factors,
end ►t must of the manufactories operations have been
recommenced; in the majority of instances there are now
sufficient in hand to keep them going the usual time at
this part of the year, the only exception being as to the
fancy trades. The foreign trade has improved only very
slightly, so far as this district is concerned ; there is •
good sprinkling of American orders in hand, also with the
merchants yet to be given out. The South American
trade generally continues quiet, the exchanges not being
yet favourable to healthy action, and as to Australia
there will be a lull, at least until after the arrival of the
next mail. On account of the continental trade gene-
rally there are indications of a reaction, though the orders
at present in hand are small, but it is believed there is •
prospect of good business with Germany this year. The
concluding quarterly meeting of the iromnasters was held
at Dudley this afternoon ; very little business was re-
ported. Nothing is yet known se to what course the men
will take about the reduction in their wages.

changed from last week as to prices. 'Wheat, 60s. to 64a.;

IiEWCASTLE.VION-T1 NE, JAN. 12.-At our market this
morning we had a good supply of wheat from the growers,
fair from the coast, and good from abroad, fur which a

market upon the whole closing strong. Flour held very
firmly, and late rates well sustained. Choice malting
barley quite as dear, with not much offering ; secondary
without inquiry. Malt unchanged. Little stirring in

NORWICH. JAN. 12. -The supply of wheat at this

rates of last Saturday were barely supported. The show
of barley was tolerably good, and there being so active
de.uand for all good malting qualities prima had an
upward tendency, secondary and grinding newts were also
fully as dear as of late. A rapid thaw took place in the
early part of the week, but it has again been scocreded by

Normaceart, J. 12.-There was a limited quantity
of wheat on offer, but the condition of the grain was irre-

rates. Super flour 525. to 545. ; fine, fils. to 51s. per 20

OZPORD, JAM. 12.—There was a very good attendance
at this corn exchange to-day, but the quantity of corn on
offer was somewhat restricted. Fine samples of wheat for
present consumption were in good demand, and yet pries,
can hardly be quoted higher. Choice malting barley and
' other good qualities were quite as dear. Oats, beans, and
pees, represented by dry and good samples, were slightly
in favour of the seller. Old wheat was worth from crrs.

PETERBOROUGH, JAR. 12. —We were fairly supplied with
all grain here to-day. Wheat found ready buyers, and in

the same may be said of barley. For oats there was a good
sale at late rates.

acted this morning, the attendance and supply nut being
Miners were not inclined to speculate, all the

ROCHESTER, Jan. I2.—The change which has occurred
in the weather since our last report ben been followed by
lees activity in the wheat trade in this city, and bulbul,
has ruled dull with comparatively few transactions of note
beyond those chiefly of a retail kind. For all really toe
samples of wheat late terms were readily obtained wink
holders of a few of the beat sorts demanded about le. per
qr. more money ; damp and inferior sorts of wheat were
the tarn cheaper. The quotations for extra superior lots
of homegrown white wheat are 66e. to 70s. ; secondary,
60s. to 665. ; and inferior, 56a. to 60s. per qr. ; best rid
wheat, 60s. to 665. ; secondary, 565. to 60e. ; and inferior,
50s. to 56e. per qr. In the foreign trade the quotati.oe
remain about the same as before, with a fair amount t
business doing. The dour market is steady, with about ea
average business doing, and the quotations the same ea
before. Superior lots of home grown barley rule very firm,
a few of the choicest lota making about Is. per qr more
money • for best malting the rates are 465. to 505., and
secondary.: 40s. to 46e. per qr. ; best grinding barley, 341.
to 38e. ; and secondary., 32a. to 34.. per qr. Malt is
without alteration, with a moderate demand. The OM
trade waa characterised with great firmness, a few of the
best parcels fetching about lid. per qr. higher terms ; for
best lots the prices are 265. to 30s. ; and secondary, In.
to 2ds. per qr. Beans and peas firm, with but little doing.
WIsBECH, JAN. 12.—We continue to be well supplied
with wheat, and fairly with other grain. Wheat is not to
be bought at last week's prices, and all spring corn rather
dearer. Prioes to the grower Wheat, white, 61e,
to 07i., 63Ibe. per bushel ; ditto, red, 635. to 65e. Oats,
Oad. to ls. Id. per stone.

a large supply of wheat, which found buyers slowly at
barely last week's rates. Oats only taken retail. Beam

YORK, Jac. I'2.—Then was barely an average supply of
wheat. There have been great floods,in this district during
the week, but the waters are now subsiding. The tone of
the inquiry was firm, at • rise of fully la. per quarter.

58s. per 36 stone. The supply of barley w s about as
usual, and the tone of the demand proved fins, at an ad.
vance of hid. to Is. per qr. on the rates current this day
week. Malting, 36e. to 40s. per qr. ; grinding, 335. to 34e.

show of beans was moderate, but the trade ruled slow, and
prices underwent very little change : new, 455. to 465. per
38 stone. In other articles there was not much alteratma
to report. Hour, 47a. to 495. par sack of 26511b5. ; malt,
6ss. to 70s. ; rye, 345. per qr.
WATERFORD, JAM. 12.—From abroad one small came
of wheat has reached us, but coastwise we are without any
arrivals to report. Of home grain supplies continued
limited. A greater degree of firmness has been perceptible
in the trade here this week than for some time past, and
considerable transactions have taken place at the advanced
prices we note nelow. Wheat—Any prime samples of Irish
readily command Is. per barrel more money. All varieties ef
foreign are in very good inquiry at an improvement et
6d. to 2s. per barrel, according to quality. Barley rather
stronger. Black oats in request at rates hardly obtainable
on this day se'nnight. Indian Corn—The consumptive
demand for this article is steadily increasing, and at sa

T 11; CATTLE PLAGUE IN ESBEX.—An adjourned
session was held on Friday, at the tihirehall, Chelmahrd,
to take into consideration the desirability of re-opening the
markets for fat cattle. The clerk said, in pursuance it
the directions of the court, he had written to the clerks el
the several petty sessional divisions' sixteen in number,
desiring them to mention to the local committees that the
lords in council, in answer to an application from the coert
for licenses to open markets for the sale of fat cattle, had
sent down a form of license, the conditions of which were
that all sheep, lambs, goo., or swine brought into the
market should be slaughtered within four .lays. The
answers of the committees were read, and, with the ex-
ception of Dunmow, they were decidedly of opinion that
it would be unadvisable to reopen the markets upon suck
terms. The Meek was directed to communicate to the
Privy Council the opinion of the court, that it was at
present undesirable to open the market for the sale of fat
stock. In answer to a communication from the Prin.
Council complaining of the relaxation of existing precau-
buns and a considerable reduction in the comber of in-
thee! ors, the clerk was directed to reply that it was not
the intention of the court to discontinue the semen el
any of the inspectors. A new Order in Council was read,
directing that during the months of January, February,
and March no cattle shall he moved on the highway be-
tween the hours of six in the evening and six in the morn-
ing, instead of as hitherto specified, between the hours el
sunset and sunrise.
