MARKETS.

WOOL AM) WORSTED.—BIADenaI), MAT 30.—The
wool market is remarkably quiet to-day, and has manifested
no sign of life during the past week. There is undoubtedly
a giving way in price, consequent upon the absence of
demand, and buyer. are induced on this account to hold
off, even more than they would otherwise do, judging from
the little that has already been bought. There is likely to
be a good yield this year, and it is thought the stapler', with
the experience of last yea, will not show more caution in
buying. There is no new faiture to report in yarns. There
is just a "mall quantity of yarn selling both for borne and
export. Instances are not wanting were spinners will take
rather leas, though there is no general giving way in price.
There is nodieposition to speculate. The foreign merchants
try to induce spinoers here to make offers, which they send
abroad for approval, thus selling before they actually buy,
' and removing risk from themselves. More frnmes are
stopped to curtail production. There has been rather more
doing in pieces for the home trade. Merchants are in the
market, and give small orders for both fancy and plain goods
suitable for the fall tnole. Spring goods are moving off
pretty well. The foreign buyer's hove also bought a few
rarity goods for autumn. Some of the German merehanta
have reserved some good orders for future delivery. Manu-
facturers, however, loudly complain of the unsatisfactory
character of their ;malaria. Curtailment of production is
general. Umbrella cloth is the only article that meets with
• ready sale. Prices of goods are nominally the same ea last
week, though some irregularity exists.

hale*.

CORN.—Bilmintnnn, MAT 30.—At Clonender and
Worcester markets the wheat trade ruled dull, and to effect
males a reduction of L. per quarter had to he submitted to.
Barley unaltered. Oats quite as dear. Beans firm. Peas
neglected. During the present week, the continuance of
splendid weather has caused tramaactioos in the trade to be
on • most limited scale, and the value of all kinds of corn is
nominally unaltered. At Wolverhampton, yesterday, wheat
was again rather lower. At this day's market there was a
very short supply of wheat from the farmers, but all quail
ties sold slowly at • decline of fully Is. per quarter.
Barley firmly held for quite as much money, Oats, beans,
and peas tending upwards.

there wee a better demand, and the best quality sold more
readily, but without any advance in price. In barley

MANCHEaTEII, MAT 30. A very fair attendance at
our market this morning. The best descriptions of English
wheat were not obtainable on lower terms, while common
sorts were unsaleable ; foreign must he noted Id. to 2d.
per 70 lbs. lower, with, however, • firmer tone at the de.
dine. English dour was offering at a reduction of 13. per
sack ; in extra qualities of foreign there was no Di:atrial
change, but secondary sorts were Gd. to Is. per wick and
barrel cheaper. In oats or oatmeal no alteration was
observable. English beans were steady, but Egyptian
receded Is. per quarter. On Indian corn we reduce our
quotations :a per quarter.

NEWARK, MA% ?J.—Then] Wag an improved demand for
beet English wheat at market to-dav, at last week's price+.
The weather having become warm, malting barley was ls.
per qr. lower. Oats barely supported previous rates. Beans
also a dull sale.

NUM:MT, MAY 30.—The supply of wheat for this day's
market was mostly of inferior goslity for which there WWI
no demand. For wheat tit for consumption there was a fair
demand at nearly the prices of last week.
trIDRIDGX, Mar 30.—The weather continues fine and as
the grain trade is consequently dull the maniples on offer
are not many and but few of them change hands. Only the
best parcels of wheat are saleable. Spring corn is a slow
sale without change in value.
