Batirrot, Jerre I.—We continue to experience a steady
demand for West India sorts, and the males since the holi-
days cousin of about 600 hhds., chiefly Demenuxs,
Jamaica', and Itarbadoes, at former prices. Only two
cargoes afloat are reported this week, the exact particulars
of which have not transpired, but the terms are believed to
be easier. Refiners' produce meets with a fair sale, at fully
former quotatioas. Plum dull, and lower.

COTTON.—Ln-samot., June I.—The demand has been
on a limited scale throughout the week, and the tone of
the market has been heavy and dull ; for the better claim of
American prices are without material change, but for the
lower qualities, which are very irregular and difficult of
sale, lower rates have again been submitted to. Brazil and
Fgyptian have been in moderate request, without change of
pros. Surat has been in fair demand, at rather lower
rates. Speculators have taken 1,000 American, and there
are reported for export 3,250 American, 100 Pernam, 144)
Fpptian, and 6,560 Surat. The market to-day opens
,• probable sales 7,000 bales, including 1,006 for ex-
port and speculation.

OOTTON GOODS.—MANCHPISTErt, Jusa I.—Sine Tues.
day there have been no transactions of any importance, the
Menehester races and other Whitsuntide recreations having
withdrawn nearly all attention from business.

WOOL.—Lrviaroot., JUNE I.—The attention of the
trade during the past month ham been chiefly occupied with
the large public sales of colonial wools still proceeding in
London; there has, however, been a fair inquiry for most
descriptions in this market, any arrivals of useful current
qualities being promptly taken up at high rates, and but for
the uncertain aspect of continental politics the general de-
mand would doubtless be even more active, and in the face
of unuanally light stocks of almost every description, the
probability is that we may see even a higher range of prices
rtilingbefore the close of the year, than at the present moment.
East India continues in good demand, but late arrivals
being held for our next auction sales, business is confined to
parcels in second hands at full prices. Turkey and Smyrna
has been in better reciihst, but for Egyptian there has been
lees inquiry and late rates barely maintained. Peru-
vian, both washed an unwashed, in good demand, and
eagerly bought up on arrival at extreme quotations.
Alpaca quiet and without change. Spanish and Portugal
in good request, particularly the finer qualities, which are
very scarce. Buenos Ayes and Entre Rios—in the fine
washed flocks, some considerable sale, have been made
at high rates; for inferior qualities less inquiry;
other aorta without change. English and Itvh in
good request without any material alteration from
last month's quotations. The public sales in London
commenced on the 3rd ult. and will terminate
to-morrow evening, when about 68,000 bales of Australian
and Cape wools will have passed the hammer. This series
has progressed very satisfactorily, continental buyers taking
an unusually large proportion, and creating a very active
competition for good, well-conditioned Hocks ; the vault
notwithstanding the large quantity brought forward, will
doubtless be the establishing of a alight inmates on the
clueing quotations of the previous series. Our next wool
sake will probably take place about the end of this month
or early in July.—(Prom W. Cireame and Co.'s Circular.)

CORN..

JUNE I.—The wet, cold, and

,
stormy weather we have had has not been favourable for
tho growing crops, which are not well spoken of. This,
coupled with a short supply, caused a good demand, at an
advance of L. per qr., and the market closed very thinly.
Beans in short supply, and rather dearer. Wheat, 545. 3d.;
barley, 30s. 74.; oats, 285.; beans, 395. 91.
Lticcomi, June I.—We have had a fair supply of wheat
at market today, which met with only a retail demand at
last week's rates: red, 545. to 565. ; white, 595. Very
little doing in other articles.
•

WAKEFIELD, JUNK I.—The arrivals of gr..in are mode-
rate. Wheat continues steady at last Friday's Wes ;
but there is no active demand. Barley is cheaper, being
less inquired for. Beans also dull of sale. Oats 4d. per
stone, and shelling ls. per load lower.
