corTom 00005.—MANcerrnit, Malice 16.—We commenced
the week with a gat and depressed market, but after Tuesday
some improvement was caused by the greater activity in the
Liverpool cotton market, cotton Improving to the extent of
about id. per lb. It has not affected this market generally.
The change has brought a good many buyers of yarn into the
market, both for home consumption and export, and a fair busi-
ness was done from Wedaesday to yesterday, some moderately
heavy stocks being moved off. Sellers put in a slight advance of
quotations yesterday, which had the effect of checking opera-
tions to some extent. The cloth market has not followed the
lead of the cotton market to the mine extent as that for yarns.
There have been some extra sales, but chiefly of small lots, where
buyem would acmpt Tuesday's quotations. There is no change
in the market to-day.

WOOLLEN.—Lane, Wizen 16.—The markets this morning
have been at ; the attendance of buyers has been small, and
they who were present did not show any desire to purchase be-
yond their actual wants. consequently the parmts which have
left the cloth halls were limited both in amount and number.
The chief demand in the coloured market bas been for tweeds
and coatings, the darker shades having the preference, but the
amount of business done has been very restricted. The
inquiries for plain cloths have been merely nominal. The busi-
ness transacted in the white hall has been very restricted, and
has been confined to a few parcels of hair-lists, bey nd which
nothing further, worthy of special notice, has transpired.
Rates may in some instances be said to be rather easier.

WOOL AND WORSTED.—Beccroan. ]firm la.—There has
been a somewhat improved feeling la the wool market during
some part of the week and more inquiry, though the business
done was not appreciably greater than during many past weeks.
The classes of wool meet Ls request keep up In price, but in other
sorts, such as haltbreds, which are neglected, there Is a drooping
tendency. In worsted yarns, spinners are fast running out of
contracts, and And It difficult to get a renewal of orders.
Shipping merchants meek In some Instances to place orders on
easier terms, but find at difficult to induce spinners, who have
already reduced prices to the lowest point, to yield to their
offers. Though there has thus been an appearance of more doing,
the actual business dor.e is not large. Prices ou the whole are
maintained with considerAhle firmness. In pieces there has
been little business done. The reported new tariff puts a com-
plete stoppage to the American trade. Some small transactions
have been effected by foreign buyers. The home trade, which
has of late been more active, is again quiet The late cold
weather has greatly checked the sale of spring goods in the ware-
houses. Manufacturers are doing a very !United trade, and are
far from being fully employed. Sonic are not Indisposed to
make a (*neuron, though generally prices are unchanged.

HARDWACK—ltininsontte. MARCH It —The trade of this
town remains In the same unsatisfactory state in which it has
been for many weeks at the close of last week several batches
of reign orders wars distributed amongst the manufacturers;
many of thaw have already been executed. and the whole will
be got out of hand with mat unusual promptitude as to show
how closely they are u orked up. We are now within a few days
of the end of the quarter. a period when it almost Invariably
happens that manufacturers are actively engaged In getting their
orders executed and delivered before quarter-day: nothing of
that kind is now experienced. In the metal trades, with
one or two exceptions, dulnesa prevails. The Brammastess'
Amoclation held • meeting a day or two since, and
decided not to wake any change to the price of wire and other
rolled metal, the present rates being quite in accordance with
the nominal reduction of SS per ten in the price of copper. In
the foreign department but litUe change has occurred of late.
The rely feature is the prospect of improvement in business con.
terns with the East Indies The course of exchange is steadily
improving, and as some descriptions of hardware goods are
much wanted in that market, the return of trade to • healthy
condition seems to be dependent only on the restoration of
credit and confidence. The principal merchants here who do
bashiess with that quarter have met their customers half-way
the financial troubles; by that course muck disaster has been
prevented or mitigated.

Prritanotoran, MARCH 16.—We had a large show of wheat
here to-day, and it found buyers at flab It per qr. over the
prices of last week. A fair 'apply of spring corn, and the rases

Mumma, MARCH IC—There was a fair attendance at our
Corn Ea to-day, but the quantity of wbeat was short.
Holders asked r prices. which millers seem rather Indisposed
to give at present, but still we must quote a rise of Is. per yr.
on last week's rates. Best qualities sell at GU. to 73a per qr.
No change to note in other corn.

ItocßitTßit MARCH Pt —With a return of wintry weather the
wheat trade in this city has been cliaracterimed by increased firm-
neuand prieesuince our last report, have taken • furher upward
movement. For extra Rue lots of both white and red kinds od
wheat prices advanced about Is. per quarter., while secondary
and inferior parcels were mostly neglected. A fair clearance of
most of the samples wan effected, and the trade was decidedly
more active. For best kinds of white wheat our present pnces
are Gil. to Odle • sec-eatery, 62e. to die.: and inferior, Ma. to Ida
per quarter: best red wheat, 60a to fits.; secondary, Ns. to cos.;
and damp and inferior, AM, to Ms., per quarter. There was very
little doing in foreign kinds of wheat, and with a small demand
prices were the turn dearer. Flour was held for rather more
money, and best town-made samples advanced ed. to ia per
sack. Barley was in slightly better demand, and the turn
dearer: best malting kinds. 445. to 4ds. .• and others 40s. to 44a
per quarter ; best grinding wheat Me. to 33e ; and secondary,
eta. to rs.. per qnorter. Only a quiet demand was experienced
for malt, and the prices were about the same as before. Ostia
Erin, and about ed per quarter dearer. hest fetching 2.5 a. to lea,;

Tonic, 11 Mica 10. —The supply of wheat at our corn market
to-day was again only moderate, and there was • fair attendance.
Sales were made to a tolerable extent, and higher rates were
realised Prices for white sorts were from rd., to 60s. ; for red,
Ma. to 681, per 30 atone. The demand for barley was by so
means active. There was about an average supply for the season,
and prices for the tined sorts were quite as easy as heretofore;
ordinary kinds were la, per quarter cheaper; malting, Sba. to
40s. per quarter ; grinding, 325. to 345. per SO stone. The supply

STRIKE or Aonicuvrussa, Lasorms.—A novel
strike, namely, amongst the agricultural labourers, has
just occurred in the north-west portion of Buckingham-
shire. During the past winter, it appears, this class of
people have been in receipt of wages amounting to only
9s. and 10a. per week, which, with bread at lid. per 4 lb.
loaf, coals Is. ld. per hundredweight, and other neces-
saries of life proportionately high, they considered to be
very insufficient. The fact that the farm-labourers at
Brackley have just enjoyed an advance of is., and in some
cases of 25., per week, seems to have increased the dis-
content of their brethren in Buckinghamshire ; and accord.
ingly a movement was instituted, the initiative being
taken at • village named Gawcott, near Buckingham,
and • formal demand was made for an advance of 2a.
per week, and le. for Sunday, in all eases where
their services were required on that day. The farmers
generally refused to give this rate of wages, and in
one or two oases, it is stated, the labourers were summa-
rily dismissed. Be this as it may, it is a fact that in that
village alone labourers to the number of 211, a few days
ago, " struck," refusing to return to their work for lessthan
the above-mentioned sum. The movement appears to
have even taken en organised form, for a strike committee
and • fund have been formed, from which assistance has
already been rendered to the men who were dismissed and
a secretary and treasurer appointed. The committee have
issued a manifesto explaining the circumstances ; and the
treasurer, Mr. Thomas Baker, jun., of Bridgettreet, Buck-
ingham, has appealed to the public for subscriptions to
keep on the movement, " or; that," as he says, " the men
may not starve while endeavouring to obtain the modest
sum of 2s. a day for their labour." A similar advance of
wages is intended to be demanded in other villages in the
district.

TUZ CARLTON MURDER.—EXTRAORDINARY PRO-
CPRDIRtie.—After the verdict of acquittal of the two
Watson, on Friday night had been announced by the
foreman of the jury there was a partial cheer in court,
which was soon checked, but when his lordship gave the
order to discharge the prisoners there nunieshately arose
s loud shout in court, which was taken up by the crowd
outside numbering about 10,000 people. The excitement
was extraordinary, the mob being frantic with joy. When
his lordship was conveyed in his carriage to his lodgings he
I was vociferously cheered. The Watson were taken to
' a relative's in Great Alfred-egret, Nottingham. The male
prisoner attempted to address the immense crowd which
ha l assembled outside from one of the windows. He said,
" I thank you all for the kindness you have shown towards
us," but beyond this he could get no further, but burst
into a flood of tears, and then left the window. His father
afterwards addressed the crowd. A committee is being
formed for the purpose of raising subscriptions to reim-
burse the Watson for the pecuniary loss they bare sum
Mined.
