WOOL AND WOBSTED.—BiuDrow, Frs. L—Tbere
has been a rather steady business do-Mg in wool during the
past week far immediate consumption. The finer qualities
of lustre wool especially continue in fair demand, and
upon some particular sorts, which are scarce, an advance
has been obtained on the rates realised at the sales of
Messrs. Turner a fortnight ago. The quotations then este.
blished are on the whole very firm, though generally they
cannot be said to be dearer. Some choice and rare lots
may command prime a shade better, but otherwise the
seeking of higher rates tends to check business. The
stocks of the wools moat in request are light in the market,
and growers seek higher rates than can be obtained here.
The worsted yarn trade hardly shares the improve-
ment apparent in wool. Export yarns have been
in somewhat better request. Some stocks of two-
folds and low 30's have been reduced to some extent
at fair prices. The lustre yarn trade is very fiat.
Spinners are obliged—in consequence of the higher rates
demanded for wool—to seek better prices, but this circum-
stance tends to repel customers and to prevent business.
The improvement is even less appreciable in the goods
market. Low offers have been made by merchant. for
some special classes of goods, including cansleta, eargo-de-
berris, Ac., and slightly more business has been the result.
The other departments of trade, including home, conti-
nental, and American, exhibit little or no change. Prices
are more steady than they were, and there is more dispo-
sition to do business, but generally no advance can be ob.

WOOLLEN.—Legns. Fen. I.—The cloth halls this
morning have not been numerously attended either by
manufacturers or merchants. The attendance of out.town
buyers has been amall ; one or two Bradford and Hudders-
field buyers in connexion with the shipping trade have
been present, but upon the whole the business operations
of the morning have been conducted with great care, and
the parcels which have changed bands bare been limited
in amount. There has not been much alteration in the
demand. Tweeds continue to be mostly inquired after,
and form the staple article in the market. The transactions
which have taken place have been chiefly in unions, in low
and medium qualities. Coatings have changed hands only
to a moderate extent, but as many of this class are now
being made to order, the amount of business done in the
cloth halls is not so large as it otherwise would have been.
Other departments have been quiet, and not worthy of
special notioe. There has perhaps been a little more anima-
tion in the White Market amongst the hair-lists, which, in
• few instances, hare been moderately well transferred,
though the business done in these goods cannot yet be said
to be brisk.

HARDWABL—BianteGnen, FEB. I.—The trade of
this town remains in a very sluggish condition ; in fact
such has been the tenor of the reports within the last day
or twothat the only inference is that business is worse than
ever this week ; the bulk of the manufacturers are very
moderately engaged ; comparatively few are working full
time. The elecuo-platers have seldom found trade so dull
as it has been daring the lass three months ' • the best
houses CAM warmly be mid to be in an exceptional position
in that respect; a sirnilarremark is applicable as to the state
of many other important branches. In the foreign depart-
ment trade improves, but it is slowly. With South America
business is, upon the whole, steady ; with regard to the
Brazilian branch of it an improvement is reported ; the
continental trade generally is quiet ; a little more is being
done to Spain. The American trade has not been in such •
depressed state for many years, and all the accounts from
that quarter, public as well as private, concur in represent•
ins that the prospects of improvement are distant.

COLCHIVITZIL, FIB. 1.-The supply of wheat was mode-
rate, and transactions were steady at last week's quota-
tions. A fair show of barley, and prices were in favour of
the seller, with a good demand. The supply of beans and
peas small, and value unchanged.
Grii.drosn, Fre. 1.-The supply of wheat to-day was
moderate, the chief portion being in poor condition. Sales
were not readily made, but no change took place in values.
A large supply of barley, for which the demand was
at fully late prices. Other spring corn unchanged.

425. to 454. ; beans, 455. to 525. per qr.
HEITTOILD, Fea. 1.-A better supply of wheat to-day,
and • fair demand, at last week's rates, but trade was
not brisk. Barley is in good request, and prices rather in-
clined to advance. Oats and beans scanty supply. and
both sold freely at extreme rates. Although no higher
prices are quoted, the tendency of t he market is upward
for everything. Red wheat to 465., and white to Ws. per
load; gr.nding barley to 365.. and malting to 50e. per qr. ;
'beans to 32• per load; oats to 36e. per qr.
Letditieres, FIB. 1.-The supply of wheat at our market
to-day was tolerable for the time of the year. The weather
has been damp since last week, and a considerable proper-
, tion of the grain was out of condition. There was •
limited inquiry, and the rates of last week were barely
maintained. New white realised 78e. to 83..; new red, 71s.
to 77a. per 36 stone. There was a middling supply of Wird':
'but of due qualities the show was short. The tone of the
inquiry was inactive, and prices were la per quarter in
favour of the buyer. Malting sorts sold at 445. to 49e. per
quarter; grinding, 395. to 41s. per 30 stone. Oats were spar-
ingly represented, and the demand was firm. Higher rites
were asked than buyers were willing to pay ; but for the
finest samples rather more money was obtained : old, 35e.
to Xis. ; new, 275. to 34a. per 24 stone. Beans were by no
means plentiful, and sales were made steadily at a glade
more looney: old, 50s. to 5.5 a. ; new, 458. to 491. per 38
stone. Peas were quite as dear. Fine flour, 565. to 58a;
woods, 525. to 545. per 20 stone.
NEWCASTI.M.UPON-TTNI, Fee. 1.-The weather this
week has been open for the season, with scarcely any frost.
Yesterday it blew • perfect hurricane, which was followed
by • heavy rain fall during the night ; and to-day is equally
stormy, with westerly wind. At oar market this morning
we had a liberal show of wheat from the growers, and the
arrivals from the meat, as well as from abroad, being
trifling, fresh thrashed samples sold quickly, at rather
under the rates of this day se'ennight ; but the decline
was not sufficiently marked to justify any change in our
quotatious. From the stands few transactions occurred,
holders being unwilling to meet the views of buyers. Flour

NORWICH, FMB. 1.-The wheat trade at this market
today ruled very firm at the prices of last Saturday ; in

qualities ; the supply was only fair. The supply of the

THE SALE or Bros.—An influential deputatior
representing the Church of England and Ireland Ten e•

licensing of the sale of intoxicating liquors. The devote.

introduced by Archdeacon Coventry. A memorial woo
read by the Rev. Robert Maguire, and the purl oat
of the petition were further explained and supportol
by the Rev. Mr. Ellison, Archdeacon Coventry, an i
Captain Stileman. They stated that it was the wish
the memorialists to see a bill introduced into parlimeott
enacting that on and after a certain day no fresh liconns
should be jailed under the provisions of the Beer Act ti
1830, and that the act itself should be repeat,. The
distinguishing features of the bill proposed were .
That it would put an end to the further lilac.. of
beerhouses. 2. That it would provide for the gradual
complete extinction of those already existing; the mime
being a personal one, to the occupier, end nut to in-?
house; when a vacancy occurs from death or otore
crusts it would not be renewed. 3. That it would inter-
fere as little as possible, therefore, with vested inter,
a beeruhop being for the most part an ordinary hou.k,
adapted for the purposes of the trade, can have no
titioua value properly belonging to it, and is capable of
reconversion when the existing license comes to an or.l.
4. That while it would neutralise the opposition of
owners and occupants of licensed houses, who have al!
along complained of the system of vicious attraction nlikh
the unlimited competition of the beerbouaes has introdun.!
into the trade, it may fairly reckon on the active sui
of the magistrates and clerig throughout the country.,
the dissenting ministry, and of all persons Interested in the
well-being of the working clews. 5. That it would looe
the whole question of the licensing system still open for
the legislature to deal with as it might hereafter nee lit.
Mr. Hardy, in reply, acknowledged the importance of the
question, and stated that he thought acme remedy nr..s
wanting far the present unchecked sale of into:jolt:a;
liquors. Hi'herto there could be no doubt that p ritauto
had been in favour of the so-called free-trade systoa.
evidenced by the addition of a wine license to that already
existing for the sale of beer. He considered that the
question ought to be dealt with as a whole, and seemd
' inclined to favour the establishment of an excise mum.
