MARKETS.

COTTON.—LivaapooL, MAT YS.—We bays had a good
business, at very full prices. The sales are 12,000 bales,
iucludiog 9,200 American, at 41d. to Sid. ; 2,000 Surat, at
sd. to fitd. ; 800 Egyptian, at ad. to 9ad. ; of which 4,000
are for speculation and export. The week's import t.
87,361 balm.

WOOL AND WORSTED.--BIATWORD, MAT 23.—The
indiapneition to buy wool continues, and becomes every
week more apparent. The present prices almost entirely
preclude business, and while sales are fumed some cocoas.
lion must be made. The supply of wool held by the trade
is an average one for the time of the year, and a larger
quantity is left over in the country than was to be found
last year. It is thought that this, coupled with the probable
heavy clip this year, must cause a degree of caution on the
part of buyers, until there ia an amendment in the depart-
ment of yarns. Noils and broke* are without change,
either in demand and price. There has been a partial mesa-
tion of business during this weak of holiday. The supply
of yarns greatly exceeds the demand. Hales are effected
at ruinous prices. This time last year yarns were
12; per cent. dearer than now, and the fall in
wool ia comparatively very slight. The demand for
pieces has been of the most retail character, and
as usual in Whit week, the attendance of merchants only
small. The only orders given out are for fancy goods and
figured linings, for which some rather good orders have
been issued. The principal topics of conversation has been
the failure of Mr. R. Haigreaves, with cousiderable liabili.
ties. Inquiries are made about the autumn trade, but they
are quite of a preliminary character.

CORN.—BIPMINGHAM, MAY 23.—At Gloucester market,
on the 18th, wheat was unaltered in value ; at Worcester,
the same day. rather lower prices were submitted to. Barley
dull, but not cheaper. Oats, beans, and peas, all quite se
dear. During the present week, the splendid weather has
caused tnunactions to be on the most limited scale ; price@
of all articles of the trade nominally the same. At Wol-
verhampton, yesterday, the supply being very abort, no
quotable alteration took place in any kind of grain. At
tins dey's market there was a very short supply of English
wheat, and fine qualities were not much cheaper ; but all
others, both English and foreign, quite unsaleable. Barley
only takeu in retail. Oat, beaus, and peas firmly held for
previous rake.

Divan', MAT 23.—At our market thia day there was
• moderate supply of wheat, which met with a dull sale,
at • reduction of from Is. to 2s. per qr. In barley we can

floe, 47e. to 50.. per sack ; seoonds. 425. to 45a.

MANCIIIBIII2, MAT 2.l.—This being our annual holiday
week the attendance at this day's market was very meagre,
and the buainess pawing of the most trifling character.
Rums of wheat and flour had the turn of pncee in their
favour.

NEWARK. MAY 22.—The show of wheat at our market
to-day was below the average, and without change in value
from last week. Barley a dull sale. Oate and beans
