MARKETS.

TALLOW.—SATURDAT A riERNOON.—The market wag
firm to-day. Priam dosed es follows :—A.pril to June. MM.
3d. to 595. 6d. ; Oat. to Dec., 555. Bd. to 56.. Odium
asap, .55a. ; ditto beef, 53a. 6d. asked; old Y.C., is.
weighed, 53a. 6d. Deliveries to last evening, 885 casks ;
arrivals, 686 casks.

COTTON.—LrveszooL, Apan,2o.—We have had a fair
amount of business to-day at previous prices. The salon are
8,000 bales, including 6,600 American, 40. to tqcl., ; 500
tturnt, 511- to 6d. • 500 apt n, 84d. to 90.; 4OO Pernam,
did. to N., of which 1.000 are for speculation and export.
The day's import is 16,849 bales.

COTTON GOODS.—ltanceinerra, Ann. 20.—Although
the higher prices of yarn have led buyers to restrict their
operations rather more during the last few days than earlier
in the week, the aggregate of transactions since Saturday
last oompspretV well with the business of the weekbefore. A deal has been done I6's to 24's water
in the bun ,of good qualities, and 40's to 60's mule far
the East. The market, however, is sensibly quieter than
on Tuesday, owing to the stiff prime asked! and while
there is more disposition to purchase for India, there is
lam inquiry for the continent. Prices remain pretty much
as they were at the end of last week, but sellers are firmer
in their quotations. The more cheerful feeling in the cloth
market has mulled a fair amount of business this week in
some fabrics. Shirtinp for India have been sold at very
full rates. In 40-inches, of above 81bs., stocks have bean
• little reduced during the last few weeks. There is but al
sluggish demand for 36-inches. In T cloths from 511 n. to
6115., especially the latter, the sales during the week have
been moderate, and sufficient to relieve stocks a little.
Long cloths of Blbs. to have also changed hands in
some cases, and prices are steadier, though not higher.
In one or two important districts the production is now
lessened.

WOOLLEN CLOTH.—Laps, Arum 20.—We had •
better market this morning. There was a good attendance
of buyers in the balls, and a fair business was transacted
in summer far* as wall as plain cloths.
HARDWARE. —Snug reou.te, APIUL 20.—A partial re-
action has taken plane in connexion with the trade of this
town. A few more orders have come in on account of the
country trade, sad the tone at the commencement of the
week was indicative of improvement, but for the last three
or four days this has not been fully sustained, and in many
branches the sluggish action of trade is apparent. It is a
few only of the manufacturers who participated in the in-
creased number of orders, and many of the men are still
upon short time. In the jewellery trades the depression
has bean very much felt. The reports as to the state of
trade in the adjoining district of South Staffordshire and
East Worcestershire are all more or leis unfavourable, and
there area greater numberof men out of employment than for
• long time past. The iron trade is in the same state as at
the close of the quarterly meetings ; at many of the mills
they are very short of orders, and the prices at which some
producers are selling are such that the works had better he
standing.

OPEN. —OAXIMEDGI, Aram 20.--Our market Irma very
dull again today, with no alteration in pi ices. Malting
barley scarce.

eoLcassraa, Ana.2o.—A good supply of wheat and
fair of other grain. The condition of the wheat is much
improved, and it was in fair demand at late rates, except a
few inferior and ill•ooaditioned samples, which were difficult
to sell. Barley a dull ado. Beans la dearer, and peas un-
altered.

GUILDFORD, APIILL 20.—There was a large show of wheat
and • heavy trade. Fine samples were without variation
in price, but other sorts could not be sold except on terms
which sellers reaisted. Barley in much better demand.
Wheat, 44a. to 735. Barley, M. to 44a. Oat., 235. to 295.
Beans, 34a. to 44a.

HERTPORD, APRIL 20.—We had a good supply of wheat
again to-day the beat sample* made rather better prices,
but inferior end -damp samples were lower. Barley in fair
offer ; tine qualities fully support last week's prices, mane
samples a dull trade. Oats were sold at fully as much
money. Beaus mid pose ruled dull at rather km mosey.
Wheat, 255. to 435. Barley, 25e. to 435.. Oats, 20a. to
30s. Peas, 245. to 30s._ Beaus, 255. to 335.

LZICEISTRIL, APRIL 20.-There was • fair quantity of
wheat on offer from the growers at our corn market today,
consisting of a sprinkling of old and • moderate show of new
sorts. The dry atmosphere of the past week has had a
favourable effect upon new soapier, and their crudities is
much improved. There was abetter feeling in the trade, wheat
being L. per enactor dearer ; old white desert were
disposed of at 70a. to 785.; new, 655. to 72a.; old red, 68s. to
745. ; new, 58s. to 645. per 36 stone. The inquiry for fine
barley (which was in small supply) ruled steady ; present
rates were generally maintained, but secondary and ordinary
kinds were • dull sale, and buyers had the advantage with
respect to prices ; malting, 36a. to 425. per qr. ;
30s. to 345. per 30 noun The supply of oats was limited,
and the demand ruling firm, • tolerable amount of business
was transacted at recent prices ; old, 32a. to Ms. ; sew, 245.
to 30e. per 24 atone. Beans were only • middling show, and
buyers operated to a fair extent at prices fully as high as
those realised on the previous market day, old selling at
58a. to 60s. ; new, 40s. to 48s. per qr. Fine old flour, We. ;
new ditto, 475. ; seconds, 43e. to 445. ; thirds, 41s. per sack.
Newcurrutormir-Trwo, APRIL 20.-At our market this
morning we had • good supply of wheat from the growers,
and, the arrivals from the coast as well as from abroad
being moderate, fresh-thrashed ample ware taken off
pretty readily at the full rates of this day se'unight, choice
qualities in some instances commanding a slight advance.
In south country descriptions few transactions occurred,
but there was rather more passing in fine new dry form"
extra new Rostock, vie Hamburg, weighing naturally 611bs.
per bushel, touching 65i., and fins Seal 635., all per 50411 e.;
the market upon the whole closing with more tone. Some
quantity of old wheat changed hands, but the exact prices
Obtained were not permitted to transpire. Flour, unless
first-rate, in slow request, whilst anything choice co:nomads
attention. Malting barley rather lower, and in limitd
dermiod,most of our maltsten being supplied fur the season ;
grinding unchanged, and the same remarks will applct:
malt, beans, and pow. Oats looking up in pries. h
arrivals this week er•:-Wheat, oceatwise, 1,311 qrs. ;

NORWICH, AP/AIL 20.-There was • faller attendance of
fanners at market to-day, and more wheat offering. For
die beet and driest samples last week's rates were sup-
ratdbut sales of damp and inferior sorts were made in
.of the buyer. There was but little barley offering,
sad led week's rates were supported. White wheat, 39e.
to 635. ; red ditto, 56e. to 595. ; damp and inferior ditto,
48e. to 545. best chevalier malting barley, CM to 445. ;
rues chevalier ditto, 38a. to 40a. ; distilling ditto, 31s. to
33a. per qr. Flour, 425. to 425. 611. per sack. The weather
during the week has been cold mid dry, and vegetation
makes comparatively slow program.
NOTTINGHAM, APRIL 90. -At our corn market there
was • fair attendance of Lamers and factors for the
time of the year, and the show of wheat was tolerably
good. During the past week the weather has been very
line, with a rising barometer, and wheat comes to hand is
better condition. Agricultural operations as respects seed
sowing are pretty nearly concluded in this neighbourhood,
sad the wheat plant ia making steady progress. Wheat was
firm, last week's rata being rather exceeded. ()Id white,
GM. to 80a. ; old red, fels. to 73e. ; new white, 52.. to 695. ;
sew red, 46a. to 64e. per 36 stone. There was ouly • mode-
rate show of barley, the quality of which was varied, and

dull sale. 31altleg, 35e. to 43e. . • Seale, 4th. to 44a. per
quarter ; old gring, 31s. to Ms.; new, 291. to 325. per

much change in inferior kinds. Old, 325. to 395. ; new,
265. to 325. ; foreign, Ns. to 325. per 24 atone. Beans mine
to bard sparingly and met a tolerable sale at high rates,
and for the best samples rather more money was made.
Old, 575. to 61s. ; new, 44a. to 150 s. per 38 stone. Super
flour, 46e. to 5'3. ; ftw4 40a. to 455. per 20 stone.
OXPORD, APE!. 20.-The twined transactions at this
market today WWII by no means numerous ; for although
there were plenty of samples representing large quantities,
there seemed an apathy on the part of both buyers and
sellers ; the former expecting to buy cheaper, and the latter
determined not to submit to • reduction. Prices ruled for
white wheat from fibs. to 70s. per or. • red, from 4Ps. to
60s. ; barley, (grinding) very plentiful, ind sold from 295. to
345. ; oats, . fine quality, commanded as high as 35e. per
qr., whilst the very infei:or were • drag at 26e. ; beaus
made from 40s. to 565., being • rise on the very prime ones

Pwreneottounn, APRIL 10. -At our market today we
had a large supply of wheat, which met a dull sale at
Is. to b. per qr. under the prime of this day week. Barley
fully an dear as last week. Oats make Is. per quarter more
mosey. Beans is. to 3s. per quarter dearer. Best red
wheat, 58a. to 60s. per quarter if 5041ba. ; common ditto,
44a. to 46a. per qr. of 4801bo. ; oda, Is. Id. to Is. 3d. per
close; beans, 445. to 465. per qr. imperial.
READING, Apart. 20.-There was • moderate supply of
wheat at our market this morning, and the condition gene-
rally of • better character. The attendance was not larger.
Trade was somewhat inactive, and must be quoted mine as
last week, if anything • shade worse. In other articles there
was but little doing. Wheat, old, 561. to 78s. ; new, 46e.
to Ms. ; barley, 265. to 46e. ; oats, 18s. to 325. ; beans, 42a.
to 591. ; peas, 38s. to 46e.
ROCHE/STU, APRIL 20.-The fine dry weather of the peat
fortnight has led to • reaction in the cone trade, which re-
main, in • very languid state. At the corn-exchange
English wheat was in rather moderate supply, most of it
being of rather better quality. The finest lots were quoted
at full rates, but seconds and admire kinds were about tid.
to Is. per quarter. On the whole the teed* end very heavy,
buyers being iedisponed to speculate to say extent. There
was a moderate amount of forOgu wheat on the Awe,
which was quoted at about Is. per quarter lees mosey.
Barley was Dot much in demand, sad the trade was very
dull, prices being seminally la. per quarter cheaper. Oats
were taken slowly in retail quantities at about previous rates,
although good samples are in request at • slight advance.
Beans were• trifle dearer, but in pee. there wee no altera-
tion. The pries of flour is unaltered.

Arm 20.—There is a fair supply of grain of
all kinds at taday's market ; anything fresh and good
makes Is. per queries weer last week's prices, whilst the in-
ferior is still &loft to sell. Spring corn of all kinds as

last week, with a better feeling for beans and oats at rather
more money. Weather Sae in the day, but frost at night.
Prices to the grower :—Whest, white, new, 4AG. to !AL,
63Ibs. per bushel ; red, new, 445. to ras., 63Ibs. ; Date,
new, Is. to Is. Id. per stone.

WoI,CISTEN, Aram 20.—At this day's market there war
• short supply of wheat from the farmers and the trade
ruled dull fir all kinds, but lower prices were not, submitted
to for any kind. Barley nominally unaltered. Oats quite
as dear. Beans rather higher. Very little inquiry for
per.

Yoan, APRIL 20.—At today's corn market the supply
of wheat was by no moans abundant, the show consisting
for the most pert of new descriptiems, which were in better
condition, owing to the improved elate of the weather.
The wheat plant slowly around here, and in
some places looks thin and sickly, while in others it has •
healthy appearance, and is miming on favourably. The de-
mand for wheat was limited, at the full praise of the
previous week. The best white wimples moved off at 645. ;
secondary and ordinary, 565. to 60a. ; the finest red made
545. ; other kinds, 42.. to 52a. per 36 storm. Barley was
hardly an average show, and the amount of busbies. trans-
acted was only moderate, all but the choicest parcels Lein
dispeeedof ate slight redaction on recent currencies. Malting,
36.. to 40.. per quarter ; grinding, 325. to 345. per 30 stone.
There was only a small supply of oats, for which the inquiry
was tolerable, and good qualities were quite as deer as last
week. The beet sorts made ; ordinary, 265, per 24 stone.
The demand for been. was firm, and the show being short,
holders readily obtained extreme rates, which varied from
411 s. to 565. per 38 stone. Malt sold at 70e. to 725. ; rye,
375. per qr. Flour, 47.. to 49a. per 20 stone.
KIRKCALDY, APRIL 20.—We have bad another week of
fine dry weather for all outdoor agricultural operations,
and the sowing of oats and barley is fast drawing to a
close. We have bed the wind from E., with • chilly
atmosphere ; but today it is from the W., and milder.
Potato planting is now being proceeded with, and we anti-
eipate a full breadth will be put in. At our country mar-
ket., this week, we had very little grain of any sort offering,
and farmers being reluctant sellers even at lad week's
ratell, very little changed bands. During the latter part of
the week we hardly saw a sample. Flare to-day we had
very small supplies of all kinds of grain. Sala reedy for
all, at prime in favour of sellers. Wheat, 342. to 645. per
qr. ; barley Ms. to 435. ; oats, 255. to 32a.
,

_ .
WATERFORD, APRIL 20.—Our supplies of grain from
all soul es are very limited this week, but the trade still
continues devoid of animation ; prices, however, are well
maintained, and for some articles more money is obtainable.
In the value of beet samples of farmers' wheat we note an
improvement of 6d. per barrel, but anything not really
sound and sweet is most difficult to move. Foreign in
better request at a trifle lees money. Barley not quite so
active as of late, but holders are enabled to get full prices.
Oats sell slowly at an advance of 2d. to 3d. per barrel.
Indian corn—We have had a considerable bazar passing
in this article the last few days at extreme rates for Black
Bea qualities, but American we note 2d. to 3d. per barrel
cheaper. Flour more sully disposed of at previous ota-
tions. Importe this week i—Whest, 2,125 qrs.; four,
60 sack,. Exports this week:—Oats, 6,295 brls.; dour,
869 mocks ; Indian corn, 10 barrels.
