COTTON GOODS.—lLa:veiterorEs, Jar:. 19.—The mar-
ket, during the few hours which warehouses have been
open this morning (this being a half-holiday), has been of
the same languid character described yesterday. Business
was difficult enough at the depressed rates of last Tuesday,
and the attempts of sellers during the last few days, con-
sequent on a more buoyant cotton market, to get better
prices has been a check on the little business previously
offering. Business has been done during the week at a
..d.
per lb. advance. Some other counts and qualities of yarn
have been steadier in price, but buyers are indisposed to
give any better rates at the Close of the week, and the
market is flat. Cloths of nearly cell descriptions arc slow
of sale, and the principal sales made have been by mann-
facturens showing a disposition to meet the views of buyers
as to prices. Shirtings, printers, domestice, twills, and
jaconets are only dealt in on a retail scale.

WOOLLEN.—Le ;es, JAN. 19.—The inclemency of the
weather continues to have a prejudicial elect upon the
transfer of goods suitable to the spring trade ; neverthe-
less there has been a better attendance of buyers, and a
more animated appearance has characterise,' both markets..
There has been a moderate demand in the Coloured Hall
for plain cloths ; some tolerably good parcels of wool.
black and blue cloths have changed hands ; the inquiries
for light tweeds and meltona have also shown more signs
of improvement, and tl.is clans of goods has in some
instance@ been transferred to a fair extent in light steel
and grey mixtures. There has also been a better demand
in the white market for hairnets; medium and high-priced
goods have been pretty well sought after, and have met
with purchasers to a moderate amount. Prices are with-
out any noticeable alteration in all departments.

WOOL AND WORSTEU—DRADFORD, JAN. W.—As
compared with the moderate business which characterised
the worsted trade during the first fortnight of the new
bear, there has been a subdued tone pervading every
ranch of the trade during the past week, and especially
since Thursday. The new orders for yarns have been ex•
ceedingly few, and the transactions in wool have been
chiefly to supply the wants of spinners who had not
covered the contracts they had already in hand. The price
of deep-grown wools, which are most in request, me still
maintained with great firmness, and those sorts which are
inferior in quality and in greater abundance are held with
nearly the same firmness. The scarcity of wool in the
market especially of lustre sorts, and the high rates de-
manded by growers, tend to create dearness and to pro-
duce an unwillingness on the part of the stapler to increase
his stock. In worsted yarns there is little or no change in
the home demand, bufinneb less doing for export. Many of
the leading spinners are still busy, and firm in their quo-
tations. Business, however, could be done wherever there
was a disposition to make a slight consession from the cur-
rent rates, though this was very seldom the case. The
piece trade is almost in a state of torpor. An almost in-
appreciably small increase on foreign account has taken
place, and rather more activity, arising from the cold
wintry weather, was visible in the home warehouses. The
market generally has not improved, and the dearness of
the raw material serves to keep up prices.

FLARDWARE.—EIRNINGH•II, Jae. 19.—The reports
relative to the state of trade in this town are far from
satisfactory ; in the middle of last week a few orders were
given out by the factors, but this week there has been •
falling off in that respect, and the reports received through
the factors' travellers are by no means encouraging ; the
country shopkeepers whose stocks are low abstain from
making theni up, except so far as is n to meet
immediate requirements ; the consequenecceeTzt manu-
facturers in every branch arc looking very sharp after
order*. In the foreign department the symptoms of re-
action are very slight; the merchants are keeping back
orders, and will probably do so more or less until much of
the indebtedness of long standing by various foreign mar-
kets is removed. A little more business is being done by
the houses which are connected with the German trade ;
that with the United asks is steady ; but with respect
to the East Indian and South American business quietude
still prerails.

at last week's prices. Wheat, 60s. to 645.; barley, 40s. to

which wet a fair 'lceland at last week's quotations. A
good supply of barley, which fully realised late rates.

Gu I L DEORD. JAY. 19.—A short supply of wheat for the

Ilnutrours, JAN. 19.—A small market, and wheat scarce.
Prices the same as before, and trade dull. The same may
be said of barley and other grain also. Limited supplies,
not much demand, but prices fully supported. Wheat,
red, per load, 365. to 40s. ; fine, ; white, 40s. to 425. ;
fine, His. Parley, malting, 40s. to ; grinding, 21;s.

LEK:EATER, JAN. 19.--Oar market was pretty well sup-
plied with wheat to-day for the time of the year. The
tone of the demand was steady, at an advance of Is. per
qr. on late prices. Old red, 665. to 705. • old white, 704.
to 765. ; new white, 67.. to 72a. ; new red, 61s. to 68.., per
36 stone. Of barley the supply was by 110 means abun-
dant, and some pretty good ninnies were shown. The
trade was fair, and buyers could only supply their wants at
an advance of is. per qr. on late rates. Malting, 40s. to
Am. per qr. ; grinding, 31s. to 345. per 30 stone. Oats
were a tolerable sale, and there being a limited show sellers
were enabled to make rather over previous rates : old, 3.1 e.
to :18.. ; new, thts. to 345.. per 24 stone. For beans the
inquiry was iniproved, and late rates were fully supported :
old, s:is. to sss. ; new, 414. to per 38 stone. Fine
sour, 525. ; seconds, 475. to 495., per 20 stone.

Nawesstbc-rrorr•Trar, JAN. I9.—At our market this
morning we bad a good supply of wheat from the growers,
but short from the coast ; from abroad the arrivals to a
fair extent. Fresh thrashed samples, being wanted, sold
freely, at rather over the rates of this day se'nnight ; extra
reds making Os. to C. 35., white (us., whilst superior
Suffolk yellow did not command over i>s., nor choice
Essex white 745., all per 7.041b5. respectively. In foreign
few trans.ictions transpiml, but Tuesday's price of 70s.
for new Wolgast red w.,s again realised in retail. Flour
held firmly, hut without much stirring. South country
malting barley being held beyond the views of our buyers,
had the effect of checking sales: but there was a fair
business in foreign at our quotations ; grinding not touch
inquired for. Beans and peas, owing to the severity of
the weather, held more firmly, and the 'tame may be said
of oats. The arrivals thilr week pre : —Wheat, cosatwise,

NORWRH, JAN. 19.—There was only a thin atten-
dance at this market to-day, and but a limited sup-
ply of wheat, for which growers demanded more money.
the extreme rates of last week were about supported. The
supply of barley was about equal to the demand, and quo-
tations ruled the same as on this day sclunight. The

SINGULAR ACCIDENT. —At the Clapham-r,..i
station of the London, Chatham, and Dover Ext. IrsiuL
staircase is lighted by a window at the font of ..
below the platform, ant the top of the shaft is eIL
with thick glass, level with the platform. On the
of a train last evening a passenger on getting out :tem.!
upon this glass and fell through to the bottom .4
shaft, a depth of 17 feet. His sudden dilapp,U4l.!
caused quite a onusteniation. The railway panels ruii
to the staircase window and got him out. The Arcs:.
glass had not only torn his clothes, but had inflicted ts
very severe gashes on his right leg, between the knee
the foot. He was promptly conveyed to the house of a •1:,
dical man, who bound up the wounds, expressing the Loi:
that there was no glass in them, and hinting at the lsoa
bility of erysipelas being induced. The sufferer was Mr.
Young, of Dalston-terrace, Kingaland, and he was enabled
to return home, although suffering from the shark of thr
fall as well as from injuries. Not knowing the depth s:
the pit he put out his bands, and bruised them against t'.e
brick walls. The flooring glass, as it is called, was to
doubt made brittle by the frost.
THE WEATHER AT LIVERPOOL.—On Saturday
morning the weather was not so severe as on the previhns
d vie, but in the course of the evening it again co:amerced
to freeze hard. The ice in the ponds and sheets of sea
in the neighbourhood was crowded with skaters. In !la
river the scene was more arctic than English looking. 1
mense sheets of floating ice rendered the river difficult f
navigation from the landing stage up to Runcorn,
ferry steamers had sonic difficulty in paddling their v 4
up and down the river. Mary of them had their
damaged by contact with the blocks of ice. Numb, n
wild fowl, ducks, curlews, widgeon, Ac., were on the
and afforded plenty of sport to the who bad galls al
knew how to use them.

THE SNOW STORM IN YORINIIII:E. —By i.tr
heaviest downfall of snow in the North and Eam.... Ria.o
occurred on Thursday night, and the roads are all I.,ure.:
less impassable. The work effected towards cutt:n;
the imprisoned railway train, in the Speeton cut:n..;
been undone, and yesterday morning the line tr.hi,:h
been cleared was again blocked up. There are Jrl-.1
quite ten feet thick in places, and the good.
which first stuck fast is quite covered, only the top=
the engine funnel being sisible. The passengrrs
returned either to Scarborough or Driffield, and or,
them who wished to be at Scarborough were about tttl
hours on the journey, one whole night being spent a t.r
snow. A telegram states that the line was yest(nl,v.•
structed from Seamer Junction to Filey. Dam., of
were yesterday at work both from the Seamer awl
lington end, but, as snow continued to fall, it v...•
expected the traffic, even Olt a single line, v.,1!
resumed yesterday. The Melton and Driffield line
and the Hull traffic is all worked this way. The It..
line is also open, but the snow is so deep that the
steps cut through it. On the Think line there
great amount of snow. The storm is seriously
the coal traffic, and supplies are very short.
