MARKETS.

WOOLLEN.—Lap,, Max 22. —The market wit+ dull
and inanimate this morning. Few merchants were in the
hall, and only a very moderate bushier was transacted.

COTTON.—Lmnroo.,Lar 22.—Our market is ex.
*essay quiet, with • limited bashisse at previous prices.
The nlss an 5,000 bales includai 4,650 American, at 4fd.
to ihsol: Surat, at tcto 4 ;20 Pernsai, at fiftl.
30 at ?id. ;of w 1, are for speculation and
export. week's import is 59,017 bales.

COTTON 00006.—Mascamerm, MAT 22. —Our market
continues much affected in prices, and there is exceedingly
little business doing. The effect of the alterations in the
India tariff, and of the anomalies in the valuations of goods,
of wbish advises were received last week from Calcutta, has
been of • very serious and depressing character, and for the
present there is almost a panic, so far...pelf:mare concerned.
This of course may pass away before long, as business men
gradually accommodate themselves to the new state of things.
It is probable, however, that the change will lead to a re.
duetion of prices of • more permanent character, and
this result is tepidly taking place already. Last week
priors were a good deal supported by the contracts in hand.
but these are being considerably reduced by merchant*
taking advantage of every opportunity to cancel orders
where a delay of • single day occurs in delivery, from what-
ever accident or cause. Manufacturers not engaged are more
anxious sellers under these circumstances, at • heavy reduc.
tion on the rates current three weeks ago. The advices
from Calcutta to May 1 give the, reduction there at id. to
id. per lb. on yarn, and 6d. to nd. per piece on shirting',
and this of course has had a bad effect here. On business
for other markets the effect has been lee felt, but there
is • general disposition amongst buyers to withhold orders
which are not of the most pressing description, and prices
are weaker in nearly all classes of goods. The yarn market
has been very fiat, and India and China qualities are id. to
lower, other kinds being more or less unfavourably
affected.

MANUFACTURE9.—HUDDEIInaID, MAY 22.—The
market to-day bu been by no means brisk, only a moderato
quantity of buyers attending and their purchases have not
been very extensive; however, a steady trade is doing in
seasonable goods.

WOOLB.—HUDDEINFILLD, MAT 22.—A. there is now
good choice in the 'market, mannfaetaren are more die.
posed to operate, and on the whole a fair quantity of wool
ban changed hands.

COB/sr.—HULL, MAT 22.—At to-day's market there
was a rather better supply of wheat from the farmers, for
which they commenced asking a considerable advance,
which millers relined ; ultimately, however, a fair clear-
ance was effected, ►t ls. per qr. over the rates of this day
sennight Barley for malting but little inquired after, and
la to 2s. lower ; whereas grinding sells steadily at full
prices. Osta, beans, and peas unaltered. The foseign im-
ports last week are as under :—Wheat, 3,618 qrs.; barley,
3,764 ; oats, 6,527 ; beans, 2,151 ; peas, 1,550; tares. 463 ;
linseed and rapeseed, 8,055 ; oil cakes, 66 tons ; bones,
1,034 tons.
LEEDS, MAT 22.—The weather is all that can be desired
at this season of the year, in spite of which the trade is
remarkably strong. Our stocks of new wheat are all but
gone into consumption, sod vary little is on the way; this,
combined with the withdrawal of continental offers, tends
to the belief that unless our supplies increase to meet the
demand (and at present there is [no such pmapectl,
further improvement is inevitable, and spur millers will be
compelled to fall in with the general opinion entertained we
to the Ltte crop, which is, th►t it was one of the wont
in yield that has been known for many years. 110-day we
experienced a fair demand for wheat at an advance of ls.
over the rates of Friday, being 2s. above those of last Tues-
day. Barley as before. Rather more money asked foe
beans and oats. Other articles unaltered.

LYNN, MAT 22.—Weather since Saturday has been tine
and warm. At our Corn Exchange this day we had a ino..
dente show of wheat, the tine weather influences the trade,
and the market closed quiet at Is. per qr. advance. Spring
corn slow, at late rates. Wheat, white, old, 611bs. to 631b5.,
50s. to 565. ; ditto, new, 60Ibs. to Mho., 48s. to 545. ;
ditto, rod, old, Ribs. to 6315.., 475. to 525. ; ditto, new.
59155. to 61114., 48s. to 55.. Barley, Chevalier new, 5215.,
to 5415. a, 395. to 455. ; ditto, common, 5115.. to 5215...
30s. to 36.. Beans, old, 6515.. to 66415.., 45a. to 48s. ;
ditto, new, 6415.. to 6615.., 425. to 465. per qr. to the
grovrers.

Thescaarran. Mat 22. —The weather has been exceedingly
fine sines Saturday. Today is dull and like more wet. At
, our market this morning we had a moderate show of wheat
from the growers, and although there was no pressure from
1 any other quarter, the trade, owing to the less exciting ac-
count from Mark-lane, was more subdued in character, brat
in the business done full rates were realised, factors feeling
convinced that the present pause is quite of • temporary
nature. In mouth country qualities scarcely any-
thing was done, there being little of suitable
qualityoffering, the transactions passing, therefore, were
in foreign, fine mixed Danzig realising 595. per 50411 e..
whilst about 1,000 qrs. of red Danish are Raid to hare been
sold for arrival at 575. per sir. Flour was held firmly, with,
however, rather leas stirring. Grinding barley uuch:mged,
and the same remarks are applicable to malt, beaus, sad
peas. Oats less pressingly offered.
