PROVISION TRADE.

Tooute-exaxer, Al an. 2.
The Irish better trade has been Beady but by no means
active during the week. The market being Monist exhausted
of the fine mild sorts, the demand is chiefly for the ieterme-
Mate descriticms, bet at prices so irregular it is difficult to
give exact _quotations, so much depending upon the quality
and trishaw Some drat Limerick have been sellers at
98a, other. offering at 94a., with the usual differences for se-
coeds and third' ; and to-Bey good sound genuine breasting'
actually sold as low as 80e. Fresh Cork thirds and fourths,
945. and 84s. Ban and Hibush and other low military sorts
are heir g premed unuuoesssfuliy upon the market. The
arrivals for the week, 800 Cork, 100 Dublin, and 120 firkins
1 from Limerick ; the deliveries about 4,000 &kiss, thus re-
ducing the stock to 7,300. There ha.been a good apply of
foreign butter since Madre, sad prices have receded 2s. to
41. ; the beet Friesland lids., and Ins Jersey, 1165., 118 e ,
and 1205., according to repute of marks. The UMW weekly
steamer from Harlingen due en Yeaday
_has about 600
1 firkins ensuing Dun* and the pries probebly will not ex-
ceed 120.. for the beet. The cost to the importers is about
1245. The beton market In the early part of the week was
buoyant, end a considerable buslages transacted at 58.. and
60e. for immediate shipment and foe all April, the primipal
°perstes at these rates being a large speculative buyer. •
temporary pause followed, and the marUt gemmed a alum
tone to-day activity again prevailed, and sales were
effected at 61e. to 62a. for choice and favourite brands el
mild cured Waterford. There Wt quotations may now be
considered the current value. Cork and Limerick, Ms.., and
Ilemburgh, Ms. The arrivals comprise 138 Cork, 104 Dob-
bs', 346 Limerick, and 1944, tales from Waterford. The
steamer on purge :from Waterford brings 1,160, and from
Cork 266 bales. Deliveries for the week, about 2,800 bales.
Bale and tierce middles, 645. to 665. ; demand slow for both.
Hams and lard steady with symptoms of bnprovement in value.
New American India beef continues scarce, 160 s. per tierce
realised for the little that has changed hands during the
week. 8011 higher rates are confidently expected for fresh
annals. Prime mess pork remains (wet, but holders are
not disported to press salmi, looking f,r an improved demand
soon at tail rata.

.—T COTTON.—Lrriaroot, APRIL 2hs tales of cotton
to-day are estimated et 6,000 bales. A quite, steady market, at
the prim of yesterday.

COTTON GOODS. MANCRYSTLII, APRIL 2. The
markets for cotton yarns and cloths tontine comparatively
fiat. The Melon from Bombay lead to an impression that
the heavy thirteenth thither have overstocked the trade for
some time formals. At Calcutta It is hoped that an earlier
improvement may be expected, but at present shippers ore
unwilling to buy except at a serious reduction of prices.
There is rather more activity than of late in good 40-inch
'hidings for China. The South American markets continue
to take comparatively few of our goods, plain or fancy, and
some of the houses he that nude have been partially Idle,
whilst other branches have been tally employed. We have
only a moderate business for the home marketa as well as the
continent, and goods for these quarters ere beginning
to feel the effects of the depressed prices caused by
the past falling off in the India demand. Hi-
therto pekes have been effected very variously during
the past tenth, as will be seen by the following estimate of
the changes in value since the lot of March :-39 inch 61b.
shirting*, lid. to 3d.cbeeper ; 71b. ditto, 4id. to 61. cheaper;
fiilb. ditto, M. to 7id. per piece lower. Wider shirting. are
'unduly effected. Jacconets are Id. to 2d. cheaper, end
light long end T cloths for Bombay have given way about
theseare. ladle yarns i.i.to 0. per lb.cheaper. Yarns of other
descelpiams are td. pee lb. dearer, end 9-13ths 72 reed end
66 reed printers are lid. to 2d. per pine, dearer. In other
=here has Dm little or no change. News. Robert
sad Brother report : " The toms of oar market dur-
ing the past month has been the reverse of what it wee dur-
ing the previous four months. Body in November a strong
demand let in for the Eastern markets, which continued al-
most uninterruptedly till the end of February, with eon-
tinnally advancing prices for suitable goods end yarns. Bat
the extremely high level them attained deterred many from
further operations; and the depreasing accounts which
began to roach us from Bombay end Calcutta, end
which have site, then been more than contoured,
have put • stop to all trash bunters foe those
marker, affecting pima te, the extent of folly eve per cent.
spinet manufacturers. The fall is prices of the clan of
goods referred to would probably have been greater and more
rapid had manufacturers been lees deeply engaged with con-
tracts to deliver Ihr several weeks forward. An strive
inquiry at full rata fee printing cloths for home hale me,
which had been neglected for some time—an improvement in
the demand for the continent of Europe, consequent upon the
slightly lees throttling aspect of coatioental polities—and
a ended but steady .dream In the value of cotton, have also
entritatted to Impede the downward coarse of the marktee.
It remains to be see whether buyers will hold off till em-
beds awn oat, whoa the full weight of the production prowl-
ing upon the market will enable them to purchase on -better
terms. Thel exports for the ninth have been 100,683
of cotton piece goods 611c1 yenta, against an average
rtalegais previous twelve months of 103,391. To Cskuita the
shipmate have been 20,716, while the average fur the w-
rims twelve months was 18,264, and to Bombay 9,249,
against aa avenge of 18,145. Thee, agoras ate rather en-
ectunghtg than otherwise to those engaged with those mar-
' keen, inasmuch as the present shipments are moderate when
compared with what has been sent continuously for twelve
months, end the great bulk of which has found wady sale at
prior more then ordinarily remunerative. At the same
time It must be kept in view, that the void may be nearly
supplied which gave rho to such a state of things, and consi-
derable caution will be exercised as to quantity, except at
lower rates than are yet tubmittei to b 7 sellers. The fol-
lowing clarification shows the proportion shipped to the
various =rink of the world : - .

NOITINORAK, APRIL 2.-At our corn market to-day
wheat was by no means plentiful, and with a slow inquiry,
the rates of last week were for the most part sustained. Old
white simples sold at 445. to 485., and new ditto 44a. to 60e.;
old rod 38s. to 42e., new ditto 38s. to 455. per 36 stow" There
Willa limited supply of barl, and superior samples were
quits as dear as bere.ofore, mating selling at 38s. to 445. per
quarter, and grinding 28e. to 31s. per 30 stone. Inferior sorts
were almost neglected. The trade in oats ruled dull, and prices
had a &mama tendency, old samples selling at 30s. to 345,
and new 265. to 30s. per 24 stone. Beans cold at Wt week's
rates, namely, 445. to 61s. per 38 stone.

48e. per qr. for white, and from 39a. to 445. for red. A
fair trade for beans, with an adrendng tendency. No
alteration in the price of other grain. Barley ruled from

}teenier's, Aram 2.—The Mistnem dons at this market
was chiefly in the beet Mod,' the demands for which

freely at 445. to 48e., bet this wee for the beet sorts, inferior
befog purchasable et from 40.. to 44e. • but this kind, how-
ever, was aimed. eatirely neglected. 'The trade in red wee,
as usual, rather limited, but the lots that etimaged hands re-
shied the full rates of lest week, best kinds fetching up to
45e., but for other sorts 38e. to 424. wee the range. Then
wan a complete stagnation in the barley trade, and that
article war exceedingly heavy ; bolder", however refused to
make any reduction in mice, and the males reportedi were

to 34m. There was scarcely any briskness to the oat trade,
prime lots being offere4 at about dd. per quarter leas money
than at the last market. Beans and peas were without any
tutorial elteratit.n, and there was little business doing.

tolerable supply of wheat, sales for which were difficult to
effect, and prise were the tarn lower. White satoplas sold
at 40e. to 455., and red 375. to 40e. per 36 stone. There we.
•fair amount of badness transacted in barley, and recent
currencies maybe quoted, malting qualities selling at 345. to
38s. per quarter, and grinding 2Ss. to 325. per 30 Moue. Oats

20s. to 23a. per 24 state. Beans were about the NM price 64
last weak, beat samples a... Being 445. per 38 stone.
KIRKCALDY' APRIL 2.-The weather during the week
has been very changeable-early part ens; then front, rain,
snow, and galas of wind; so that since Wednesday nothing
his been dons to sowing of say kind of grain. At oar county
markets this week we had very little grain of any kind offer-
ing. The demand for ell middling qualities slow, and a dull
sale; chevalier Wiley and Sae parcels of oats in demand for
seed, end such bring caroms prices. here, to-day, wa had
a moderate supply of wheat, good of oats, but small of barley.
Seed demand for barley and oats influenced prices a little, so
that generally they are to-day is favour of tonere. Wheat,
35a. to 46a; barley, 251. to 345.; oats, 20e. to 26e.
Wariseroan, Aram 2.-Scarcely sup farmer's produce
has appeared at market this week, and oar supplies by boat
have been very moderate. From abroad we have had fsir
arrivals, consisting principally of wheat. With the excep-
tion of Irish wheat which from extreme mearolty hen brought
6d. to 9d. per barrel advance, we make noel:range in the value
of any article since Saturday last. Barley and oats tally
maintain late rates, and there has been more doing in the
latter than for come time past. For foreign wheat we have
bad a steady inquiry, and Indian corn hem been in rather
better demand, at the quotations of this day sennight.
Flour the turn dearer. Impacts this week:-Wheat,
3,770 qrs ; lodate corn. 3,500 ; tour, 100 mks. Exports :-
OR's, 4,200 barrels ; Sour, 1,533 sacks.
