MARKETS.

001TON.—Lavezpooi, Jour 23.—There has been a fair
inquiry for cotton to-day, without change in prices. The
sales are 10000 bales, including 9,180 American, at od.
k 4 82d.; 706 Surat, 22d. to 32d. ; 100 Egyptian, 81d. ;20
Poniard, 72d.--of which 3,000 are for speculation and ox.
port Today's import is 45 bales.

COTTON oOODB.—lfaxarearmi, Juice 23.—There has
been more or less business done this week in all kinds of
goods, but it has been on a less Kale than production,
and consequently prices continue to droop, though not to
the extent reported last week. The improvement in de-
mand at the commencement of the week for India ahirtinp
and other cloths, slight as it woo, appears to have been loirt,
through Ithe im 'oo left on the minds of exporters by
the advice" to hand from Bombay, Calcutta, and Madras
sines Tuesday. Printing clothe are scarcely so thin
as last week, though still relatively better sup-
ported than other fabrics. There is some demand for
light long cloths, but most of the sales made have been for
small quantities. In T cloths the trade continues much as
last week, with scarcely so much doing, and prices still in-
clining downwards. India shirting'. 36-inch shirting', and
*comets rather weaker in value, the demand being very
limited. For domestics rather lower offerefare made, bet
sellers are difficult to move, the demand keeping pace nearly
with the production. A slightly better feeling is reported
in the yarn market, as on Tuesday, but it is chiefly confined
to water twist suitable to China and the continent. India
mule is scarcely so firm. The market continues very irre-
gular, and consequently quotations are difficult to fix.

WOOLLEN.—Luce, Rine 23. There was only •
moderate attendance of merchants in the Halls this morn-
ing, and the market was rather flat. The transactions were
pnncipally in broad cloths, but as • rule they were
and appeared to be of • sorting-up character. The un-
settled state of the weather causes considerable anxiety,
and induces • corresponding amount of caution in the
operations of trade at present.

HARDWARE.—Buturrouar, JUxx 23.—There is a
subdued tone about the reports in reference to the state of
trade of this town ; but notwithstanding that such is their
character, trade is by no means so lad as it has been re-
presented, as is evidenced by the smallness of the number
of persons out of employment, and the steady trade which
is being done at nearly all the large manufactories, and it is
only at very few establishments that they are making goods
for stock. A few of the fancy trades are dull, as are also
others which are dependent upon the winter trade ; but,
upon the whole, there is nothing approaching to depression.
The iron trade is steady ; the private meeting of the iron-
maate.s will be held next week at the Stewponey, at which
the pace of finished iron for next quarter will be fixed, but
no alteration in the present scale is expected.

CORN.—Catanunos, JUN. 23.—We had • vary dull
market, without any change in price from hat week.

Coteneerrs, JuNz 23.—A moderate supply of wheat
declined from la. to N. per qr. Barley very short supply
and price rather lower. Peas and beans unaltered.

GLOUCESTER, JUICE 23.—The weather continues very un-
settled, with occasional heavy rain. The market to-day was
thinly attended, but the supply of English wheat was good
and experieuced a dull vale at last week's rates. Foreign
held firmly. Barley, beans, and peas fully as dear. The
oat trade continues very inactive, and scarcely any trans-
actions took place. Imports of the week ending June 23 :
Wheat, coastwise, 390 qrs. • foreign, 6,000. Oats, Ire
land, 1,120 ; foreign, 640. Bundries, coastwise, 530.

G CILDFORD,JI3IOt 23.-Therevnui a good supply of wheat,
for which • slight advance was demanded, but buyers were
indisposed to yield, 7satly not much business was
done. late isles were where transaction, occurred.
Wheat, Ns. to 68s. ; y, Me. to 35e. ; oats, 245. to 30e. ;
beans, 42* to 46e.
HIZTFOID, Jcas 23.-We have bad • fine day for the
market ; supply of wheat fair • trade heavy at last week's
prier; except for best parcels less money was obtained.
Barley made last week'. prices. Oat., peas, and beans
were a heavy trade at barely .o good prices. Wheat, 23..
to 375. per load ; barley, 28a. to 355. per qr. ; cats, 22r. to
30s. per qr. • peas, 255. to 28s. per load ; beans, 25a. to
30.. per load.
Larcsirrmt, Jam! 23.-We had • fair show of wheat from
the farmers at our corn market today, and the attendance
of the trade was pretty tolerable for the season. Business
was fiat, at a decline of Is. per quarter; white qualities
moved off at from 575. to 60s. ; red, 54a. to 565. per 36
stone. There was an exceedingly small show of malting
barley, which met a very languid demand, and prices were
quite as low as those obtained on the week previous, samples
making 38e. to 445. per quarter : grinding ditto was in
moderate request, and supported its value, 345.. to 36e. per
30 stone being the current rates. The inquiry for oats
was tolerably good, and the supply being small, late quota-
tions were well sustained ; old, 33.. to 365. ; new, 30.. to
345. per 24 stone. Of beans the show was by no means
plentiful, and the amount of business transacted was fair,
at fully recent terms-old, 48e. to 50a. ; new, 46e. to 495.
per 38 stone ; fine flour, 435. ; seconds, 41s. ; thirds, 39a.
per sack.
NEWCASTLE. JITN6 P3.-The weather this week for the
need part has been dry. On Thursday a thunderstorm
pissed over the town, when we had about an hour's heavy
rain, and a slight fall last night ; today is wild and unset-
tled, and like more min. The trade daring the week has
rated exceedingly quiet. and although the arrivals continue
good, such is the confidence of holders of • sally shortly
occurring, based upon the appearance of • late harvest, that
importers, rather than take less money, prefer taking their
cargoes to warehouse. We may further remark that some
portion of the coasting receipts has passed direct into the
hands of our millers, a quite sufficient cause of itself to
account for the present inaction. Best runs of south
country rod have oommanded 595., extra 60s. Gd., mixed
Ills„ and • choice parcel of old Suffolk 595., all per 50411,5.
respectively ; whereas old red Stettin, wirtially sprouted,
has been quitted at 55a. 6d., a cargo of new Hol-
stein red at 80a., and a little superior high-mixed
Beatific at 645. per 5041b5. Flour boa sold steadily at
full rates. In other articles little change has oc.
curried, the liminess; at the same time being trifling.
At our market this morning we had an extremely. moderate
show of wheat from the growers, and such descriptions, on
account of their freshness, being required for mixing, a
clearance was effected without difficulty at the jery
rates of this day se'nnight. In south country or foreign
little was done, holders feeling unwilling to accept the terms
offered, but in Scotch yellow transactions to a fair extent
occurred, at 58e. to 58s. &I. per 50411. Flour scarcely met
so much attention, butin it. velure we quote little variation.
Grinding barley in moderate request, with prices about sus-
tained. Malt held firmly. In beans and peas little stirring.
The arrivals of mita being beyond primal requirements a
reduction of fully Is, per qr. was conceded upon the limited
business done, the main bulk, however, will have to go to
warehouse for want of buyers. The erri;als thin week are :-
Wheat, coastwise, 3,352 qrs.; foreign, 6,880. Bye, foreign,
15. Barley, coastwise, 50; foreign, 100. Malt, coestwae,
45. Oats, coastwise, 886 ; foreign, 2,996. Pees, foreign,
90. Flour. 740 sacks.

Nounica, JONI 24.—The supply of wheat was only
moderate at today's market, end the Sumer not being dis-
posed to submit to lower prices, comparatively little limi-
ness was done. Quotations were about lc per qr. under
the rates of this day se'nnight. le barley oats. beam, and
peas little doing. White wheat is quotedthis morning Ws.
to Ma ; red ditto, 66a to 00e. per qr. Maur, 400. per each
from the miller. The weather up to Thursday was very
stormy and tempestuous, and each day much rigs fell ;
mace thaw we have lad wens dry weather.

NOTTINOBAN, JUNE 23.—At our corn market this morn.
ing there was a moderate show of wheat, both old and new,
and samples generally came to hand in pretty fair condition.
Late rates were fully sustained ; old white descriptions
were disposed of at 58s. to 64.. ; old red, 575. to 61s. ; new
white, 575. to 64e. ; new red, 56e. to 61s. pee 36 stone. Thu
show of barley was very small, and the demand for malting
was about on a par with the supply, consequently prices
were in favour of the buyer ; grinding sorts were firm, and
sold at 325. to 335. per 30 stone. For oats a fair consump.
tivo demand was experienced, and holders succeeded in
realising the currencies of last week ; old, 275. to ;
new, 295. to 345. per 24 stone. Beans were a scanty show,
and with a good demand late rates were fully maintained,
and fine qualities were the turn higher ; old, 48s. to 525. ;
new, 465. to 48s. per 38 stone. Super flour, 435. to 46, ;
fine ditto, 395. to 425, per 20 stone.

OXFORD, JUNX 23.—The supply of wheat today w:l4
Spin large, with few purchasers, last week's price. long
fully maintained ; the same remark will also apply to other
kinds of grain.
PITERBOROUGH, JUNE 23.—At our market to-day we
had a fair supply of wheat, which met • slow male at
barely the prices of this day week. Barley, none offering.
Oats slow sale. Beans fully as dear. Wheat, bolt red,
575. to 58s. ; common ditto, 555. to 565. per 50411 e. ;

READING, Jr= 23.—The report. of the sriculturists
this morning as to the condition and of the grow.
Mg crops are extremely unfavourable. They state that no
improvement is visible as compared with last week, and that
the wheat crop must fall short of an average one in this
district, The gloomy and louring weather this morning
tends to keep up this opinion and to strengthen it. Our
market was tolerably well supplied with wheat, and
holders were rather firm in their demand, but • disinclina-
tion being shown to purchase, the trade ruled very dull
and late prices were hardly supported. Barley is a nominal
trade ; oats are still dear, and beans and peas unaltered.

Rotirrarza, Jere 23.-The market this week was
but sparingly supplied, ass! the attendance was not so
large as usual. There was but little business transacted in
wheat, and only a few parcels changed hands at previous
quotations. The best sorts of white ranged from 54'si. to
625., and other kinds from 525. to 565, ; best qualities of
red were done at 54e. to 58e. There was mutely a single
transaction in barley, but the rates were very firm, and in
some instances 6d. per quarter advance was demanded.
Oats came forward in rather smaller quantities, and as food
for cattle is now becoming abundant, the demand is not No
brisk for that article, hat previous rates were well sup-
ported. Neither beans nor peas were in large supply, and
the demand for both inactive. Flour has advanced Is.
to 3s. per sack, but the trade is quiet.
WINDY-CH. JUNE 23.-The weather still continues on.
settled, notwithstanding the trade is dull for wheat, partly
owing to our prices being too high for profit to the consum-
ing markets, and therefore little business done. Of spring
corn supply very short, and fully hat week's prices given.
Prices to the grower :-Wheat,white, 60s. to 61s. ; extra,
63e., 631bs. per bushel ; ditto red, 555. to 57a. ; extra, 58s. ;
oats, la 2d. to Is. 3d. per stone; beans, 425. to 43e. per qr.
WORCESTER, Juss 23.-A fair supply of wheat, which
sold slowly at rather under the currency of this day week.
Bewley firmly maintained its value, with a fair inquiry. Oats
again rather cheaper. Beans firm. Peas more inquired for.
Your., Jura 23.-There was about an average supply of
wheat on offer at today's corn market, the show consisting
of old and new sluts, and the bulk of the samples were of
tolerably good quality. Bales were slowly effected at the
currencies of the week previous; white realised 60a. to 545. ;
red 565. to 58s. per 36 stone. There was very little ani.
mation in the barley trade, especially for superior kinds,
but there being only a few line samples showing, prices were
not subjected to any important alteration ; good qualities
were disposed of at 325. to 365. per 30 stone, with a mode-
rate inquiry. Oats came to hand sparingly, and the tone of
the trade was firm, and purchasers were compelled to pay
the extreme rates of the week previous, sales being effected
at 28s. to Ms. per 24 stone. The supply of beans was again
somewhat meagre, and full quotations were made ; old,
48s. ; new, 455. to 475. per 38 stone ; rye, 375. ; malt, 68e.
to 70s. per qr. Flour, 425. to 44e. per 20 stone.

Krnacatior, Jcxa 23.—The weather during the week has
been alternately gleamy and dull, and cold at night ; we
want the genial temperature so essential at this sermon. The
wheat crop is thin planted and late. Barley and oats not
the bulky crop they promised to be two weeks ago, but they
are thickly planted, and pretty well forward. All have
suffered from excess of rain and chilly weather. Potatoes,
mangold, and turnips have come up well. At our country
markets this week there was little or nothing doing, little
to sell, and farmers unwilling to name a price for wheat.
Barley and cats about exhausted. Here to-day we had a
small supply of wheat, which sold readily at fully last
week's prices. Oats also in small supply, and Is. per qr.
higher
erfor fine dualities. Only two small parcels of barley.
fils. to bOs. per qr. ; barley, 355. 6d. to 365. ; oata,
28s. to 31s. 6d.

WATERFORD, JUNE 23.—A good deal of min has fallen
throughout the week, but we have now a warmer tem-
perature, and to-day the weather looks much more settled.
Our supplies of home-grown grain consist altogether of oats
by boat; from abroad three cargoes of Indian corn have
come to hand, and coastwise a few hundred quarters of
wheat. Scarcely any change has occurred in our market
since the date of our last. Wheat, with a retail inquiry,
maintains late rates. Barley can hardly be quoted cheaper,
but oats Lave given way Id. to 2d. per barrel the last day
or two. We have had a fair inquiry for Indian corn at
previous prices for stored parvels, but some ex ship sales
have been made at 2d. to 3.1. per barrel less money. Flour
dull, and rather easier to buy. Imports this week :
Wheat, 905 qrs. ; Indian corn, 4,528 qrs. ; flour, 40 sacks.
=this week :—Outs, 6,723 barrels ; flour, 542 sacks ;
corn, 600 barrels.
