MARKET&

ppTrox 13001)8.--idaionnernn, LP= IL—To-day
wa amve had abrupt an entire absence of business, meet
a( awe eoniaserelel awn having left town for the holidays.
The asulre bushier et the week has been much under an
image% Up to Thursday the ezebeasent is the LiVllt-
tutigegiViga market, with as &dimes in prism, kept
rw yarns and cloths at a low ebb, producers
Wag Obliged -sa advance their quotations ao se cover
the rise In eoth'n- Oa Thursday it was expected
the cotton is Liam/wool would le shown by the
quarterly stock-*eking of that day to be numb in Graeae
of previous estimates, and there was peat disappoint-
ment that the anticipation had preyed antra,. There
were attempts to account for the result by reports that
large holders of cotton bad declined to make returns,
but these have not been traced to say reliable result.
However prices had been lower on Tuesday for yarn in
this market by to ed. per lb, and on Thursday it
was found impossible to obtain any advance. The mar-
ket was quiet and inanimate both in yarn end cloth,
with offers only at lower rates, and there is little or no
change to-day.

WOOLLEN.—Lane, Aram 11.—There has been little
business deist this morning either in the Coloured or
White Cloth Halia, and the markets have presented a
holiday appearance. The attendance of buyers bee been
small ; few out-town houses have been represented, and
the business tnumactions which have taken plane have
been of a very limited character. The transfer of goods in
both halls has been confined entirely to present require-
ment', consequently the parcel' which have been made
have in all eases been amaM White diagonal, and plain
=ltem have been mostly inquired after, though the
total amount of business done haa been unimportant.
Tweeds and milings have not been in much request, and
plain cloths bare been sparingly transferred. There hal
not been any alteration in the demand for baldish'. In
some cases a few medium-sized panels have changed
hands, but upon the whole business has been quiet.
Prime are without alteration.

WOOL AND WORSTED.—HELDFOID, Aram 11.—In
=trhy with the quieter e in Liverpool and Yon-
, there was a egree of apathy in the wool
market during the early
changedfi the week, and the
quantity of wool whichwas very limited
indeed. A turn for the better, however, followed the im-
provement apparent in Liverpool at the latter part of the
week, and though the result was manifested more in the
change of feeling than in an actual increase in business,
there was rather more inquiry and some slight
transactions were effected. The finest classes of
weol continue most in demand, and as these
are scarce, the amount of business done has been
more limited than it otherwise would be. Quotations ell
round are extremely firm, those of last week being well
sustained. The wonted yarn trade continues active,
though not to the same extent as recently, The export
merchants have latterly supplied themselves pretty
freely and have shown no disposition, under the higher 1
range of prices, to operate to any great extent at present.
There has also, from the same cause, been leas doing on
home account Mast spinners, however, arii well cm- 1
ployed, and are exceedingly stiff in their quotations.
There is leas doing in pieces. Home merchants seem un-
willing to yield the price, required by manufacturers, and
the orders placed are very small. The American houses
have made some inquiry, but done little business. The
continental houses are doing a steady business, but they
endeavour as far as possible to supply their wants from
stook and to avoid placing orders. Prices are very firm.

ILULDWAAR.—Biansousr, Aran 11.—The reports
relative to the state of trade in this town are still unfavour-
able ; a little flush of orders distributed two or three
weeks since have most of them been got out of hand, and
the new ones since the commencement of this quarter have
been small ; the manufacturers generally are complaining;
as to the discouraging prospects of the season trade, not-
withstanding the unusually protracted period of depres-
sion. In the metal trades generally there are no indica-
tions of vitaliand as regards fancy goods of every de-
scription the ordjs are on an extremely moderate scale.
The factors' travellers report a disposition on the part of
the country shopkeepers to order sparingly, making their
stocks adequate to no more than immediate requirements.
As a rule, onr manufacturers are so closely worked up
that the Estates holidays will be a relief. In the foreign
department the only change to notice is a few more orders
on account of the hirer Plate.

qr. ; grinding, 40e. to 42e. per 30 stone. Osta were mode-
rately represented, and a tolerable amount of business was

Nzercurrii-ON-Tveit, Aram 11.-The weather thisweek
has been for the most part cold and unsound, but it was
especially a) on Wednesday and Thursday, when we ex-
perienced falls of snow, with north-east winds. To the
westward the hills are capped with mow. At our market
this morning we had • fair show of wheat from the
growers, and the arrivals from the coast as well as from
abroad, being trifling, fresh threshed samples being
wanted, sold briskly at the extreme rates of this day
ee'anight, whilst at the same time we experienced a fair
inquiry for south country and foreign, at prices slightly
in favour of the seller. Flour was held firmly, and there
was decidedly • disposition evinced on all hand, to adhere
more firmly to the rates required than has been the case
of Lk. Barley was la limited request. Beane and peas
without change. Oats rather cheaper.
NORWICH, dram 11.-But little wheat was offered at
this market to-lay, and prices for the bent deeorip-
thins were abont maintains& although the trade was
somewhat slow. Extreme rates are still demanded for
the few samples of barley offered. During the week
the weather has been cold, with north-east winds, and
there have been frequent showers of hail and sleet.
