MARKETS.

COTTON. LIVFRPOOL, JAN. 19.--The sales of cotton
to-day arc eatiroatal at 20.000 Isle,. A large demand at
an advance of nearly id. per lb. on yesterday's

oarroN GOODK—MAxemerrER, JAN. 12.—The mar-
ket has been dull and depressed throughout the week,
and the aggregate business in yarns and cloths together has
been very small. Yarns are firmer in price at the close of
the week, but it arises rather from the increasing cost of
cotton and the activity in the Liverpool cotton market for
the last day or two, than from improvement in demand for
goods. Spinners are asking from id. to id. per lb. more
than on Tuesday, and this has a tendency to check what
little business buyers were disposed to transact. In cloths
there is some improvement in demand for China 40-inch
ahirtinp of 7 to filth*. weight, and these goods are slightly
firmer ni price. Some inquiry has been made for fabrics
suited to the Calcutta market, but unfortunately there is
such a discrepancy between some of the advice' to hand by
telegram as to render them very unreliable.
WOOLLEN CLOTH.—L®B, JA N. 12.—We have bad
a brisk market this morning. There was a very large at-
tendance of merchants, and a considerable business was
transacted, but nearly altogether iu tweeds and mantle
cloths. Prices are firm, and the market has been malls-
factory.

HARDWARE.—ButrixonAst, dam. 12.—The general
trade of this town is worse than it was a week ago : the
orders in on account of the home trade are small, and in
the foreign department there is scarcely anything stirring.
The late advices from America have stopped the trade with
that quarter for a time ; and with the present high rate of
discount the merchants have sufficient inducement to
withhold any orders which they may have in hand. There
are a few of the trades here in which an average amount of
business is doing, amongst these are the brass-foundry and
the lamp and chandelier trades ; but these instances are the
exceptional ones, the bulk of the manufacturers are com-
plaining of the absence of animation in trade generally, and
of the insufficiency of orders to keep the men on more than
three or four days ; there is also an increasing amount of
unemployed labour, and unless trade rallies speedily a good
deal of distress will follow. The first meeting of the iron-
masters of this district for the current quarter was held at
Dudley this evening ; the attendance was so small that it
may be regarded as having been a formal meeting only.
There was little business done ; prices of best brands un-
altered.

Lsicorres, JAN. 12. —There was a fair attendance at our
owe market today, and the show of wheat was about an
average for the season. The supply consisted principally of
new sorts, which were of tolerable quality, but old samples
were spree. The latter maintained their value, whilst
secondary new sold at 2s. per qr. loss money. Old white
sorts moved of at 725. to 78a. • new ditto, 655. to 70e. ;

today
The inquiry for ay we. fair, but the supply was by no
means large, and choice parcels sold at rates fully as high
as those obtained on the week preview, while secondary
ditto were very little altered ; malting, 37e. to 43-% per (11% ;
grinding, 3d.. to 345. per 30 stone. The demand for oats
wee in excess of the supply, and the nest qualities sold at a
alight enhancement on late terms ' • old, 3411. to 38e. ; new,
245. to per 24 stone. For bans, which came to hand

NZIWCANTLE-urnsTYNTL, JAN. 12. —At our market this
morning we had a fair supply of wheat from the growers,
mostly in wretched condition, of which a clearance was
effected at the rates of this day se'enight. In south country
descriptions or foreign little was done, but at a reduction of
Is. under last week's prime on foreign there was ahspo-
'Rion to operate. For fine new Bordeaux red, weighing
naturally 62111 w. per bushel, 675. was refused, whereas
a lot of Sautes, represented to be in want of
condition, sold at 645, and Rostock rid Ham-
burg, 651., old high-mixed Dentric still being saleable
at 715., all per 540165. Flour was held firmly, but only few
transactions occurred, our dealers hoping by waiting they
may be enabled to purchase more to their mind. In malt-
ing barley there was less stirring ; grinding unchanged.
Malt lees sought after. In other articles we have little
variation to note, oats excepted, which may be written a
shade dearer. The arrivals this week are:—Wheat, caut-
erise 1W qrs. ; foreign, 2,520. Barley, coastwise, MO.
Oats, coastwise, 29. Flour, 549 sacks.

trade prices receded 6d. to 1.8. per quarter. At this reduc-
tion there was not much disposition to purchase. l'he sup.
ply of malting and distilling barley was fair, and last week's
rates, were maintained without alteration. White wheat
was quoted 655. to 67e. ' • red ditto, 56n. to 625. ; damp and

lower. Old white wheat moved off at 68s. to 76e. ; old red,
641. to 725. ; now white, 525. to 60s. ; new red, 475. to 66a.

prime old white wheat wan if anything rather dearer ' • one
trader alone purchased 300 quartet*, at 72e. per quarter ;
the lowest quotations for old white wheat was 641. ; red was
worth from 50a. to 645. In other kinds of grain there was
a fair demand for the beat samples, and about last week's
prices were obtained. Inferior aorta were a dull trade.

ing up with every prospect of ita continuing to do ect.
PRTRIBOROUOR, JAN. 12.—At our market to-day we had
• very large supply of wheat, which met a dull isle at Is. to

RAADING, JAM. 12.—The supply of wheat this morning
was only limited. The atte ace was about an average.
Owing to the dulness of the markets held at the Litter part
of the week trade was very inactive. Necesaitous bums
were compelled to purchase at last week's rates, but in
some instances a shade leas money was telailed. Any good
malting barley was readily purchased. The beat samples
realise 475. and 48..

R0CRK87734 JaN. 12.—The severe frost has considerably
checked the upcountry deliveries of wheat, and muse-
queetly the supply brought forward at this torn exchange
was very smelt The attendance of buyers, too, was con.
aiderably diminiabed, and the trade ruled exceedingly dulL
Millers, having satisfied their more immediate waste, pur-
chased but sparingly, but the best samples brought extreme
prices of last week, in some cases ls. to 2s. per quarter
more money being freely given. Secondary and Inferior
kinds were exceedingly dull, and the rates for that de.crip-
tion receded about Is. per quarter. Malting barley Lad an
upward tendency, good samples being now in con-iderable
request, and fetching about la per quarter more mosey.
There was little in grinding qualities, which appeared to be
mock neglected. The oat trade rulce very firm, but busi-
ness is that article was dull. Both beans and pees main-
tain their value, but the business passing in each wait
limited.

the front going. Supply fair of everything today. Wheat

tion, and fully Is. to 24. per qr. lower, whilst cats, bark'',
