TALLOW. —.SATURDAY AFTERNOGN.— The market is
without change, prices &deg the same u yesterday. De-
liveries to lest useiag, I,l24easlu ; arrivals, 94 mks.

COTTON.—Lmaroor., NAT 11.—Our market to-day is
quiet, with a moderate Mullion doing. The aides are 6,000
hales, including 6,300 American, 44d. to Std. ; 1,500
Surat, 54.1. to 611-16 d. ; 200 Egyptian, std. to 1.23 a
of which 2,000 are fur speculation and export. To-day's
import is 3,881 bales.

COTTON GOODS. —MANCHESTER, MAT 11.—There is
little to add to our previous reports of the market this
week. In both the yarn and the cloth department there
has been a moreconfirmed inaction, generally speaking, but
occasional slight exceptions. In • few very smell transac-
tions the advanced rates demanded since Tuesday by manu-
facturers have been obtained ; but in most cases the higher
quotations have prevented business altogether. Domestics
have been in very limited request, except one or two
favotu ite makes of the heavier sorts, in which there is a
nominal rise of 1-16 d. per yard. Light printing cloths have
been somewhat more inquired for, and though the
week's business has been very small, • little improvement
on previous rates has is a few instances been realised. The
market is much quieter through the cessation of
the business for the Emit. India shirting' are at present
without any movement at all, and quotations have been
rather stiffly maintained, owing to the increased value of
cotton. In 3d-inch shirting' there has been an attempt to
raise prices, but there is no practical change in value or in-
crease of business. Yams are without material variation
since yesterday week, the business done having been very
contracted is amount, owing to higher rates asked a few
days ago, which are no longer in all cases firmly adhered to
by producers.

WOOLLEN CLOT/I.—Laos, MAY 11.—The markethas
presented no feature of importance this morning ; it was
moderately attended, and a fair basica:a was transacted.

HARDWARE—Maxim:max, Mar 11. —There has been
no change whatever in the general state of trade in this
town ; with two or three eximptioes slackness is felt in
every branch, and that to an extent which hes not been
experienced for many years. An impetus has been im-
partedto the military gun trade this week by the arrival
America of the Yersia,with commiasioners from the States
of New York, Massachusetts, and Ohio, their object being to
purchase rifles, and to enter into three mouths' contracts
with the gunnaken here to supply as many of the deem' p-
Sion of arm they require as can be set up. AU the stooks
on hand were purchased, and are to be shipped by the
Perna ; contracts for the term stated were also mitered into,
no difficedty occurring as to money considerations, the can.
miesioners having letters of credit for an ample amount on
one of the moat noted Loudon firma. Agents have also
been in town from the Southern Confederacy, for
a similar purpose. The military gun trade had been
bad hem for the last six weeks, and the reaction
now imparted to it will be very ble. In one or
two other trades only is there the Jargrtist variation; on
the contrary, everything connected with business concerns
bens is ea duh as possible. In the adjoining district matters
are in much the same state, and labour is suffering much in
consequence of the bad state of trade generally. The iron
trade continues fiat ; a few only of the works are in full
operation. In the coal trade there is more doing, in mew
queues of the large consumption for domestic) purposes.
The bad state of trade in the town is still shown in the
parish returns ; the increase in the number of in-door poor,
as compared with last year, is 30.1, and of pauperism in the
elope of out-door applicante, 1,304.

CORN.—Caniztnoz, MAY ll.—Wbeat and beans were
each la. dearer, and cats scarce and in request. Wheat,
40s. to 64e. • barley, Ms. to 425.; beans, 38e. to 45e. ;

GUILDTORD, MAT 1L —With s fair supply the wheat

an advance of la. to 2a. was generally obtained ; inferior
samples being in much better demand. Wheat, 40a. to
73e. Barley, Ws. to 40s. Oats, 736. to 295. Beans, 40s.
to 456.

LIICZOTEB, MAT 11.-The cold bleak winds of the past
week have done much to check vegetation, and the wheat
plant is coming on very slowly in moat districts. Warm
weather is now much required to bring forward the young
crop, and • few genial showers would be of great benefit.
At our corn market to-day there was a moderate quantity
of wheat from the farmer., the quality and coalition of
which on the whole were tolerably good, the cold weather
having to some extent hardened the samples. The trade
ruled firm at an advance of le. OD last week's prices: old
red moved off at 665. to 70s. ; new 50s. to 60s. ; old white,
665. to 725. ; new, ditto, 60a. to 66.. per qr. of 36
stone. Of barley the show was somewhat small, and
samples were of variable quality. The demand although
slow Was healthy, and the currencies of the week previous
Were full supported • malting, 36e. to 40s. ; secondary,
Mk. to 3' . per qr. There was a scanty supplof oats, for
which the demand was tolerably active, and buyers had in
some cases to pay Is. per quarter more money, old making
32e. to 35e. ;new, 2es. to per 24 stone. The show of
beans was by no means abundant, and the tone of the trade
gemmed a buoyant aspect, all good samples being taken off
readily at extreme terms : old made 565. to 58s. ; new, 455.
to 50s. per 38 stone. Fins flour, 45e. to 47e. ; seconds,
425. ; thirds, 40s. per auk.
Nsercarrthreuroe•Tew, Mar 11.-At our market this
warning we bad a good supply of wheat from the growers,
and, the best descriptions being wanted for mixing, such
csalitles wen sold quickly at an amendment of la. to 2s.
per qr., whilst at the same time a fair business transpired
is now foreign, at an advance of Is. per qr. Flour sold
more readily, and may be written the turn dearer. Melt-
nibs:ley sold slowly at about previous rates; for grinding
no Inquiry. Choice malt quite as dear, interim dull sale.
Beans and boiling peas unaltered. Oats rather dearer, and
in fair request. The arrivals this week are:-What,
'entwine, 1,651 tire. ; forage,. 2,164. Barley, coastwise,
30. Oats. coaster 512; foreign, 2,140. Peas, foreign,
M. Flour, 896 aab. Indian corn flour, 80 sacks.
Nommen, KAY 11.-Here today wheat was in short
supply, and as the millers evinced more disposition to pur-
chase, prices advanced la per quarter upon all descriptions.
There we. little barley offering, and bite prices were sup.
Flour Is. per sack dearer. White wheat, 61s. to
&471
; red ditto, 575. to 61e. • damp and inferior ditto, 50s.
to 655. • best chevalier malting barley, 425. to 441. ; runs
chevalier ditto, 38s. to 40s. ; distilling ditto, 31s. to 33e.
per quarter. The weather this week has been dry and cold,
with very little sun. Vegetation momenta slowly from the
absence of warmth, which is now very desirable. To-day it
is very coons, with a strung wind from E.N.E., and rain.
Norrmonas, Mee 11. -At our corn market this
morning there wee a pretty tolerable show of wheat,
there being a few samples of old, and a moderate eprinisliog
of new descriptions. The weather dining the peat week
ham been cold, with north-east winds, and the young wheat
plant has progressed slowly; in some places it looks thin
and patchy, while is othen it is more promising. The
frosty night. have also bad an injurious effect upon the
fruit trees, much of the blossom being entirely destroyed.
Millers and factors bid last week's prices for when, but an
advance of ls. to 2e. was obtained. Old white samples were
disposed of at 68e. to 80s. • old red, 64e. to 71s. ; new
white, Mk. to 69a. ; new 4,d, 46e. to 63e. per 36 stone.
There wage limited show of barley, the demand for which
was quite as active as last week, and holders succeeded in
obtaining extreme currencies ; malting made 3.5 e. to 43e. ;
Seale, 40s. to 44a. per quarter; old grinding, 31e. to 33e. ;
new, 20s. to 31a. per 30 stone The supply of oats was mid-
dling, and the inquiry ruled healthy, the best sorts moving
off at a slight advance on recent rates. and other kinds at
full terms ; old, 324. to 30s, ' • new, 26e. to 345. ; foreign,
28s. to 325. per 24 stone. Beans came to band sparingly,
and the amount of business transacted was fair at an ad-
vance oils. perquarter ; old /*Magas. to 61s. ; new, 445. to
53e. per 38 stone. Super flour, 465. to 525. ; fine, 40s. to
45e. per 90 stone.
0110$D, MAT 11.-A good trade WY date ID this market
to-day; more especially in wheate of prime quality, which
commanded more money. White was worth from 60s. to
70.. per quarter, and barley realised from 1.. to 2a. per
quarter more than this day seenight. Oats made from 20s.
to 35a ; fine qualities were in request. Beans, for which
there was a good trade, *old from 48s. to 56a. Flour
was worth 46e. per seek.
PrTILEDDROUOII, MAT 11.-At ow market to-day we
bad a enroll supply of wheat, which met • good sale at
Is. to 2s. per qr. over the prices of this day week. Barley
as last week. Oata without alteration. Beans rather
easier to buy. Best red wheat, Ws. per quarter of 5011 M. •
common ditto, 46e. to the. per qr. of 48irlbs. • oats, la. 24.:
to la 4d. per done ; beans, the. per qr. of 53211 e.
READING, MAT 11.-There was a very short supply of
wheat at our market this morning, and for the most part
in wretched condition. Prices remain unaltered, and say-
thing good was readily bought up. The attendance was not
imp. In other articles very little doing.
Rocesierrs, Mae 11.-The supply of both foreign and
grinding kinds was tolerably plentiful, but sales were only
effected to a moderate extent, at about previous quotations.
Holder, however, appeared more firm in demanding the
full prices of last week, which millers and buyers reluc-
tantly acceded to. Secondary dmmiptions were offered a
trifle lower without leading to many transactions. The de-
mand for barley was somewhat improved, and recent quota.
time were well supported for malting sampler ; but for other '
kinds the tendency was downward. There is still a steady
trade doing in oats, which are the turn dearer. Beans con-
tinue to be inquired after, and may be noticed as about
6d. per qr. dearer. Peas in little demand, at previous rates.
Flours are about the same as before, with only a min-
, aumptive dimmed.
WIBBICH, MAT 11.-We have had a week of very cold
weather, with frost at night. At this day's market there
has been a fair supply of wheat and moderate of other
Wet. The wheat trade hasbeen excited, and 20. to 3a.
than this day week. Spring corn of all kinds reedy
ado at former prices. Prices to the grower :-Wheat,

unaltered. Oats held for a rise of Gd. per qr. Beans and
peas quite as dear.
YORK, MAY 11. —The show of wlamt at our corn market
to-day was about an average for the time of the year, and
the attendance of fanners and factors has been tolerably
good. The north-easterly windy which prevailed derieg the
past week have iutettsrad with the growth of the young
wheat plant and the young crops in general. Snow lap
fallen in some parte of the county within the past few days,
and on the whole agricultural prospects are not as yet very
encouraging ; in some places the apple blossom is almost de.
strayed, and many other fruitdiees have sustained severe
injuries from the freed. At to-day's market the demand foe
wheat wee firm, at an advance of la. per quarter ; white
samples found purchasers at 565. to 640. ; red ditto, 443 e. to
56e. per 36 stone. The supply of barley was again limited,
and the tone of the trade ruled firm, at similar to
those of the week previous ; malting ised 36e. to 38s.
per quarter ; grinding. 30s. to 348. per 30 stone. There was
only a small show of oats, the trade in which was good. aed
the beat sort, were taken off at an improvement in prices ;
savedary sorts met a fair sale at late terms ; the former
made 30e., the latter 25a. to tic per 24 stone. Beans were
in very short supply, and a fair consumptive demand was
experienced at rather better prices ; old, Ws. to 545. ; new,
44a to 48a. per 3.4 stone. Malt, 70s. to 735. ; rye, 37a par
quarter. Flour, 475. to 503. per 20 stem.

KIELCALLT, MAY 11.—We have had another week of dry
barren weather, with frost every night—occasionally alight
snow showers—so that the appearance of the gran and
young braird is worse than it was a week ago. All early
that were showing above ,round have been cut
potatoest Many complain of want of rain, but rain with such
frosty weather would be much worse for the country. At
our country markets this week we have still to report very
small supplies of grain, even wheat only offering in trilling
quantites—uot nearly sufficient for the wants of local con-
sumers. We hardly see a sample of either barley or oats.
Here, to-day, we had very small supplies of wheat, barley,
and oats. Sales were ready. Wheat and oats brought
rather more money than last week. Barley much as before.
Wheat, 365. to na. per qr. ; barley, 34e. to 425. ; oats,
24e. to 32e.

WATSRFORD, ILia IL—We have had scarcely • sample
of grain from the country this week, and by boat very mo-
derate supplies have come to hand. Our import list is
almost a bleak, only a few hundred quarters of maise and
wheat having ruieNd us. There has beep rather more
business passing than of late, but no improvement in prices
can be reported. Wheat—lrish and foreign fully as clear,
with more inquiry for the latter. Barley firm, particularly
malting qualities, which are very scarce. Oats sold freely
to the early part of the week it full rates ; to-day purchases
can be made on slightly more favourable terms. Indian
corn has had a better vale, but owing to the decline in
London and Liverpool, holders have had to give way about
fa per barrel on the week. Flour more easily disposed of.
Imports this week :—Wheat, 20 qrs. • Indian corn, 890.
Flour, 115 each. Exports this week :—Oats, 3,985 barrels;
flour, 302 auks ; oatmeal, 34 sacks.
