MARKETS.

COTTON. —LIVERPOOL, FED. 20.—A firm market at
cattrday's prices. The sales to-clay ire estimated at 10,000

COTTON OOOD.9.—M.tNCH F.MITR, FEB. N.—The market
continues in much the same state of depression aa last
weak, and the prices of India shirting, and nuulapol-
lams are about 10. per piece down since then. Lighter
fabrics for the same market are cheaper iu proportion.
Printing cloths are even more depram. ; and long cloths
and T clothe have at length begun to feel the weight of the
depression more severely. A very small business has been
done, and manufacturers generally are becoming very
anxious sellers. It aware that only a portion of the Black-
burn weavers resumed work yesterday, and a telegram re-
ceived here to-day states that it is feared even these will go
out again to-night, from a misunderstanding amongst them-
selves. The yarn market has greatly disappointed expecta-
tions. From the better feeling of the last few days it was
thought we should have had prices id. per pound higher;
but buyers would not give it, and spinners have been rather
free sellers at Friday's rates. A Bur business has been done
on these terms both for home consumption and export. A
larger business would have been done, it is thought, but for
the feu• that money will be dearer. German and Dutch
shippers have been amongst the buyers of water twist ; but
India buyers of yarn are only operating where they can do
so on easier terra's. Telegrams from Calcutta to the 29th
January report very little business, and shirting's ltd. lower
than on the 25th, and 44d. lower than on the 17th January.
Trade bad in China, and prin.* nominaL

WOOLLEN CLOTH.—LrEus, FEB. 26.—Our market
has presented no feature of any importance this morning.
There was only a moderate attendance, and the tow was
quiet. The transactions were pnncirelly in milieus and
summer goods, bat only a moderate bushier waa damp in
them.

MANCTFACTURE3.—HUDDER/171ILD, Pan. 26.—There
has been little more doing to-day than last week, but busi-
ness generally still continues flat, and stacks of nearly all
description, are accumulating. The fancy trowsering trade,
which is usually very brisk at this season, in now much
depressed.

WOOLS. Fn. 26. —As the quantity
to be brought forwayl at the approaching sales is greater
by far than was anticipated, the wool trade is almost at a
standstill, and manufacturers are expecting lower prices
when males commence.

CORN.—HuLt, Frs. 26.—At today's market a fair
"apply of Recta* wheat. qu day appeem to come worse
than heretofore. It is difficult to quote the value prices
mg* tuna dota to 595. for red per 5041b0., the latter

figure being the extreme for best descriptions. Foreign of
fine quality meets with more general inquiry, and the trade
on the whole has a mire healthy appearance, although ex-
treme caution still prevails. liarluy dull, but holden do not
press sales at say reduction. Beaut and peas very dull.
Oats, scarcely any demand, and in the few Wes made late
prices barely maintained. The foreign importa last week
are as under:—Wheat, 24,0110 qrs. ; barley, 8,573; beaux,
701; peas, 595 ; tares, 113 ; linseed and rapeseed, 6,280 ;
oil rakes, 114 tons ; bones, 185.

LLEDN, FEB. 26.—The wheat trade shows increased
health, and all farther decline appears to be arrested, but
the demand is entirely confined to the best and driest
samples. A fair business has taken place in fine qualities at
the full rates of last week. Barley goes off slowly, without
material alteration in the value of dry and heavy deserip.
Lions. Beans inquired for; fine hard lots sell readily at full
rates. Oats and other articles as before.

LIVIRPOOL, Fix 26. There was a fair attendance
of millers and dealers at this morninp market, and
rather a more general inquiry was expenenced for wheat
than of late, the quotations of Friday being fully maintained.
Flour was held firmly at previous rates. Indian men
commanded a fair share of attention, and, being offered aaly
sparingly, holders had an advantage of from 3d: to Gd. Put
quarter. Oats and oatmeal were moderately dealt in. Beans,
peas, and barley, each brought previous rates in retail. The
market wore a firm aspect throughout.

Newcawri.x, Fn. 26. —The weather looks more settled,
and, with a continuance, seeding operations, which have
been some time in abeyance, will be resumed. At
our market this morning we had a moderate show of wheat
from the growers, but having • goal quantity offering from
the stands, the trade opened languidly, but finished rather
better than it commenced ; still, however, the amount of
business pealing was trifling. For fair runs of south coun-
try red 5&. could not be exceeded. For foreign the demand
was confined chiefly to new Seal yellow at 645. per 50416.,
the natural weight being 60114. per busheL Flour without
change ; and the same remarks will apply to other articles.
