MARKETS.

~-

COTTON. Livezroot, JAN. =—The sales of cotton
to-day are estimated at 10,000 hales. The market closes
steadily, at yesterday's prices.

OOTTON 0001/11.—MANCHESTER, JAN. 22. —ln yarns
we have bad • steady market, but nothing doing for any
quarter. Prices are partly kept up by the continued increase
of oat for cotton, and partly by the contracts still running
in the hands of spinners. We have a much quieter market
for cloth, and where there is any change in prices it is in
favour of the buyer—soy to the extent in some cases of
led. per piece. This remark applies to all goods suitable
for India. and printing cloths, T-cloths, and long cloths ; in
fact to the bulk of production. Letters are to hand from
India to the nth Dec., and a telegram from Calcutta to the
26th bringing worse accounts than the letters. Altogether
it is the gloomiest market we hare had for some time.

WOOLLEN.—Lreps, JAN. 22.—We had a flat market
this morning. There wee an indifferent attendance of buyers
in the halls, and the business was limited.

MANUFACTURES. RUDDZILIMILD, JAN. 22.—The
market has been flat although an avenge number of buyers
have attended. Purchase; have been made in almost all
branches, but they are only ►ight and what is required for
immediate wants. Trade prospects are considered uncer-
tain, which causes great caution to be used in all business
transactions.

WOOLS.-11UDDIRSFIELD, JAN. V.—Colonial. are
moving off slowly but steadily. and prices are pretty
well maintained. The demand for low foreign is rather
improving.

CORN.—Hct.t.., J 1111.72.— At to-thy.' er.arket less wheat
offering than of late, and mostly in wretched condition,
which sells slowly, at 2s. per yr. below buet Tuesday's
currency. Foreign meets only retail demand, at prices in
favour of buyers. Barley fully as dear, but inactive. Beans
and peas unaltered. Otte slow sale at barely late sates.
The foreign importa last week are as under :—Wheat, 17,112$
qrs. ; barley, 1,217 ; oats, 53D; beans, 1141 ; peas, 914 ; tares,
335 ; linseed and rapeseed, 3,771 ; oil cam 2 tons.

Luce, JAN. 22.—The change in the weather has had
such an effect upon the condition of new English wheat,
that, although offered at a decline of 3s. to 41. per quarter,
it does not lead to business. On the other hand flue quali-
ties of foreign are in request, and make near upon the late
rates. Barley unaltered. Beans quite as dear. Other
articles as before. Average prices for the week ending Jan.
19th, 1861:—Wheat, 1,447 qrs., 80a 24d. ; rats, 20G) qm„
275. 8 jd. ; barley, 1,423 qrs., 41s. 1U d ; beaus, tt qrs.,
46e. Sid.

LivIIPOOL, JAN. 22. There was a fair attendance
of millers and dealers at this mornino market, and
wheat met a better consumptive inquiry tban might hare
been anticipated from the dull market iu London yesterday,
whilst previous quotations were in most io•tances main-
tained, and even exceeded for American white. Flour bad
only • slow sale, and was Gd. per barrel cheaper ex ship.
Indian corn was little inquired after, and American mixed
declined :Id. per quarter. Oats and oatmeal sluggish.
Pease a shade dearer. Beans and barley without alteration.
The market closed with a quiet tone, but holders are in no
degree anxious to press sales.

LYNN, JAN. 22.—Since Sunday we have had a higher
temperature, and our navigation is again open. At to-day's
market we have a good supply of wheat from the growers,
a good portion of which was out of condition. Good dry
milling samples supported last Tuesday's currency. Damp
qualities dull sale, although offered at 2s. per qr. decline.
Barley, both malting and grinding, prices without altera-
tion. Beans were more inquired for, awl prices in favour
of sellers. Wheat, white, 611 b. to 631 b., 62.. to 655.
ditto, red, 581 b. to 6216., 45e. to 565. Darley, best
Chevalier malting, 52i1b. to 5316.. 44.. to 46,. ; ditto,
runs Chevalier, ditto, 52.1,1 h. to 44.15. to 425. : ditto,
distilling 5016. to 511 b., Its. to .1(e. Beans, old, 631 b. to
6516., Mc to 565. per quarter imperial to the grower.

NZWCAWILL JAN. —The weather still continues open,
but the temperature to-day is somewhat lower. At our
market this morning wo had a good supply of new wheat
from the country, and on account of its moderate condition,
seduction of Is. per qr. had to be conceded to effect a
clearance. In south country or foreign few transac•
Hoes transpired, but at a similar reduction there
seemed a disposition to operate, which few holders
seem unwilling to submit to, the decline only being
made where vessels require clearing. Flour sold upon much
the same Jenne as heretofore, with rather an improvedgin-
quiry for extra qualities, choice Hamburg realising:SON. per
seek. Jo malting barley or any other article we have little
variation to note.

SALISBURY, JAN. 22.—Our market today W3I held on
the old site, the square in front of the Council Chamber,
which was numerously attended, and there was a large
4upply of grain, which came to hand in rather indifferent
condition. A moderate business was done in wheat at •
decline of Is. to 2s. per qr., whilst dour sold at a propor-
tionate reduction of le. per sack. Ihere was not a
heavy demand for barley, but best samples were not
cheaper, whilst grinding samples declined Is. per qr. Malt
trade wee slack, and prices were the turn lower. In all
other descriptions of grain prices had • downward ten-
dency, and not much business doing. New wheat, Ma.
to silt ; old ditto, 6s. to 70.. ; barley, 32e. to 44.. ; cuts,
245. to 30e. ; bean., 455. to sers. ; peas, 14M. to 49e. ; rye,
SlCts. to 35e. per qr. Flour, 475. to Ms. per sack. Milt.
tie. 9d. to 9e. :Id. per bushel

CATTLE —SALISBURY. JAB. 22.—At our market to-day
we had a large supply of besets, whilst good animals were
scarce. There waa a very good atteodatice, consequently
best animals were a good eale,at Lod markets pricer. Though
poorer beasts were plentiful a great many changed hands,
and, in some instances, less money was accepted to effect
sales. There was • very limited supply of sheep, all of
which were quickly disposed of, at the full terms
of last market. In calves, as of late, little busi-
ness was transacted. In the pig market there was •
capital supply of all descriptionA, in which • good business
was transacted. and former terms were fully aupported.
