COTTON GOODS. —Wane mut, FR& 5. —The market
for shipping yarns has been very flat to-day, and it has
been impossible to make sales except at • reduction is
price. This branch of the market closes very quiet, with
a decided tendency to lower rates. Home trade yarns are
also very eat, prices being rather lower than they were
last week, and the business transacted has been of trilling
amount. The market for cotton cloths ia characterised xc
both dull and gloomy. The little excitement occasioned
by the recent operations of some magnitude having sub.
sided, is followed by great depression, which is very much
assisted by the downward tendency of values in the Liver-
pool cotton market. We have found buyers to-day almost
totally indisposed to do anything, or where they show any
interest in the market, offering only the most disas-
trously low prices. Such offers have not met with
anything like general acceptance, and very little
nes, has resulted. Amongst manufacturers there
is no particular pressure to sell ; some of them
are burthened with little or no stocks of goods, and
others are tolerably well engaged to order. lint it may
be noted that the quotations of sellers to-day are generally
lower than were submitted last week. Both ;spinners and
manufacturers are pretty well convinced that the produc.
tion is on too large a scale, considering the high prices still
consequent on dear cotton, and many of them have adopted
what is termed short time ; but it may be doubted
whether generally they appreciate the extent to which it
is necessary. Many people think that five days, and some
four days' production per week throughout the year would
supply goods sufficient for the market, if the producer is
to have remunerative prices ; and that the resort to short
time on this scale should be universal in the cotton
districts.

WOOLLEN.—Lame, FRB. s.—The attendance of
buyers in the cloth halls this morning has been below the
average, few out-town houses have been represented, and
they who were present have not manifested any dispou.
tion to purchase beyond what are actually required foe
immediate orders. There seems to be a general disposi.
tion to wait until the spring season is further advanced
and the weather has become more settled before any large
transactions take place in spring goods. The demand in
the coloured hall has been of a very miscellaneous chase.
ter, and has included a few small parcels of tweeds and
fancy coatings in the prevailing shades. A limited num-
ber of plain cloths have also changed hands, but the in.
quince have had the appearance entirely of "sorting up,"
and not in any way of largely increasing present stocks.
The white market has presented a similar aspect ; theqh
in a few instances some moderately good parcels have
been made in hairlista of medium and better class m.,km.
We have not to report any appreciable alteration in prices.

MANUFACTURES. —RUIMERSFIRLD, FEB. s.—The
market to-day has been very thinly attended, scarcely any
buyers from London or the provinces bring present.
Business transactions in mast departments have been
very quiet, purchasers making selections only in such
articles as are required to give variety to their stocks
The local merchants are doing some little in new goods
for the spring trade, but orders fur these come in very
sparingly, while stocks of other descriptions are accuse•

buyers preferring to wait the approach of neat sales the
arrivals for which are already tolerably heavy.

CORN.—Hcm, FEB. s.—At to-day's market a ma.
dente supply of English wheat—best qualities can scarcely
be quoted cheaper, but damp and inferior descriptions us
fully la. to 2s. per qr. lower ; the value of beat runs of
East Yorkshire red is 5.5.. per su4lbs. (net cash) to the
grower. Barley for malting neglected, but grinding de.
scriptions scarce and fully as dear. Beane, dull sal,: at ls.
per. qr. reduction. Peas and oats muse off in retail, at
prices rather in favour of buyers. Foreign arrivals for
the week :—Wheat, 1,323 ; barley, 944 ; oats, 30.1 ; beau,
29 ; peas, 350 ; tares, 775 qrs.

_ .
Imstmcn, Fins. s.—The supply of wheat was again
extremely limited, and the condition very indifferent. At
our market to-day prices were, taking quality into ac-
count, fully equal to late rates. Burley in fair supply,
and ls. to's. per qr. cheaper. Beans and peas slow.

Leer +, FEB: have no new feature in the trade
to remark upon ; the demand for wheat is very l►nguid.
but holders do not seek to se.iure an extended one by sub-
mitting to auy further decline from the currency of Fri-
day. Sales of other articles proceed slowly at unaltered
rates.

LYNN, na. s.—There was a short show of wheat at
tuarket to-day : choice samples maintained their value;
damp qualities dull sale and la. to 21. per qr. lower.
Malting barleys, unweathered samples in good request and
fully as dear ; stained qualities Is. per qr. cheaper.

Iftweasrte.-ors-Tvint, Felt s.—At our market this
morning we had a moderate show from the grower
well as from the coast, and, although price' cannot 1.5
called dearer, there was decidedly more tune, and a fair
amount of business transpired at fully Saturday's rrte, -
