COTTON GOODS.—Mrthesstrfirit, APRIL 4.—There hi very
little change In the market for cotton yarns and cloths since
Tuesday. The market Is, if anything. natter. buyers operating
sparely and with caution. It Is still a question es to whether
present prices can be maintained with the probable supply of
cotton. On this subject yen Du Fay and Co. say in their
circular for thisroonth Well-informed people are of opinion
that with an American crop of 1.700,000 bales present prices
would he maintained." They proceed to observe that the Dota-
-1 nest in the manufacturing districts continues quiet, as the
portant markets of India and China do not give any, or only a
slight relief as regards moths, while the home trade is unusually
dull. partly owing to the high mice of all articles of food, and of
wheat In pattieular, the average price of which exceeds that of
last year by about las. per quarter. Messrs. Ellison and Hay-
wood's Liverpool circular, Bp:akinr of the prospects of the cot-
ton lid manufactured goods markets combined. for the imme-
diate future, say :—"We think that upon the whole they are
less favourable for the raw material, and more favourable for
the mannfutured article, than appeared probable at the
date of our last report (March I'. The past quarter hu
been a moat unsatisfactory period fur consumers : but their
position is nut quite so had now as it was three months ago, and
there are reasonable grounds for expecting an improvement
henceforward. Thu year opened with considerable depression
in Manchester. owing to the languid state of both the lideigti
and domestic departments of the trade : brought about in the
one case by exceesive shipments, made tint so much In response
to any positive demand from aerial consumer" as to relieve the
necessities of producers, who, In default of being able to sell in
Manchester, shipped their products on their own aocount and
in the other, by the stagnation existing in all branches of our
nati• nal industry, and which, combined with the high price of
food. considerably reduced what may be called the clothing
fund of the people. Moreover the position of producers was
made still 1/01110 by the comparative firmness imparted to
the Liverpool market by the limited supplies of cotton
In prospect for the opening months of the year.
Looking three months ahead, however, they think it only
natural that, after some four or live months of bad trade-- du-
Ing which eoesumptlon has been reduced some Do per cent--a
change fur the bettor will take place: especially as the prices now
current are ljd. per lb. In aural*. and 21. in American, cheaper
than early In the year. They thlsk also with a revived demand
for yarns and goods, we have also a certainty of a very liberal
supply of cotton. The arrivals at Liverpool for the first three
nn anal of this year averaged only a little over 17,000 bales per
week, bet they estimate them fur the quarter now current at
70,000 or 71,000 per week, We from the present large stock of

prices. and :ut stock.' of cloth are net heavy, they hope to
imps.% ement in the position of producers. The cr.clual de
in receipts at Amerieth ports, they think, point., to a
Anal yield than 2,500,000 bake, "but against this we have
ceedingly favourable account. from India"
and Mr. liayaeol
is a good authority on this point, " whence the shipments hat-e
become very large, and are likely to continue on n wry !Metal
scale until the commencement of the monsoon. The Antenean
supply will fall off towards the close of the summer tik,
Indbm crop, the bulk of which wW then be arriving, will ed

WOOL AND WORSTED.—LUDFORD, APRIL 4.—The aunt
trade is very flat to-day. The actual business done ns my
small. Low offers are made. bet staplers generally are 11110.6
to accept them. A few spinners who have rewired .I,lr.
bay to cover them, but spinners generally are doing nothtur
Prices are rather irregular, and depend in a great nu ~,11
the position'of the spinner, and whether his stock hw see re.
molly bought of the grower or not. Stocks are still mull
The business done in worsted yams Is also very restricted Ike
Increased duties of the Americus tariff have tended to k
demand for the Inferior qualities of worsted yarns whi. I. have
hitherto flowed towards tlermaOy on account .1 their Merman
trade. While the demand for the better aorta of super 4i,
keeps up, the lower qualities are quite neglected. some
orders have been placed in ffrs and :U's lustre. There is little 'e
nothing doing on home account. The business doing either In
two-fold, Gensappe, or carded yarns is very scanty. Price....
far as they are tided, show no change. The orders which base
be
placed in pieces to-day are enceedingly nutting
offer placed in fancy goods that is really cheap is picked up I.> hear
and American merchants. The advice. from America WV
hopeful, and the Germany trade is very healthy, and the pn.lvet,
of the immediate future are not bad ; but still there to ere .t mt.

mains standing. Prima are irregular and drooping.

LACE AND ROSlERY.—Norntronaff, Aran. 4.—There la
rather better tone in the lace trade this week, sal the 001
improvement noticed In our last report is fairly niaintauwil.
There Is a brisker demand than of late for plain goods, bat all
kinds of silk and fancy laces and curtains move off •liorly
80. h fur the home trade and the Continent and other •hippia
ports there is a more general inquiry for goods. In the Route)
trade, however, the tendency is towards a reaction, scarcely oq
branch being so active as In former weeks. Yarns have corn
way slightly, but It is supposed that political events hare •
rather depressing effect upon trade.—" Nottingham Journal"

BRISTOL, APRIL 4.—After the limited supplies of the put few
weeks we had to-day the fullest market of beef and mutton that
we have seen here for many months. The Irish animals num.
bered upwards of 100, and In addition to these we had large
consignments of Deceits, Herefords, and animals from the mr
rounding districts. This large supply was probably owing to
the fact that keep la getting short, and animals are now lone
sent out from the stalls. The trade was dull, and the animals
remained on hand so long that it is extremely difficult to pre
quotations. Encumbered with a supply which far exceeded the
demand, holders had to submit to a considerable reductioa.
Some of the primes& beef was bought at Übe. per cwt., and sa aver-
age figure for hest descripUons was from 638. to 675. per cwt, bat
W a few inatauare ie.. wasobtainedbybandforextraprimequali-
ties. The supply of store cattle was rather large, but trade was dull.
and good Weepers could be obtained at from CIO to CM The
sheep pens were crowded with a supply which was greatly Is
excess of the demand, and trade was dull, at a slight reduction
on recent Mae ; best wethees la the wool realised Sjd., and is
some cases Yd. per lb. was given, and out of the wool they
realised 7el. to /bd., while ewes and secondary descriptions in the
wool sold at ed. per lb. ; but a large number both of sheep awl
cattle were left on hand. The supply of lamb c mtinues eery
short, and prices extremely high. V. e had some large consign.
manta of pigs from Ireland, but, probably owing to the Matt
price of feed just now, trade was remarkably dull, and prices
showed a considerable reduction. Porters were sold at M. per
score, and bacon pigs from M. RI to M. ; while a thee
quantity of the former remained on hand. There was a geed
show of horses, but the attendance of buyers was Welled, and
only a moderate trode was done.
NorrfuoliSß, Mark 3.—Then was a middling show of beasts,
which dial not sell so well as last week, prices being from so. rid

tion of which was shorn. Those in the wool realised from at
