WOOL AND WORSTED.—BaanrOIO, APRIL 23.
Though cotton is again up, the wool market continues
very quiet. This is to be accounted for from the fact
that during the past few weeks an immense businea has
been done in wool, and moat spinners have supplied their
wants fur some time to come ; the transactions today an
ocosequently very restricted. Quotations, eapecially for
all good wools, are generally extremely firm, though
there are some holders who aro rather better to
deal with. There continues to be good business done in
worsted yarns. Two-fold yarns, foe which there has been.
an extraordinary demand of late, are actually dearer to-
day ; but some of the quotations are intended to be In-
hibitive, in oonsequence of spinners being fully employed
for some time to come. There is rather rues, business
doing in single yarns, but the operations are confined to
small lots. The German merchants seem to be waiting
the result of Leipsio fair, which has just commenced,
though the requirements for that quarter have been anti.
psted. In single yarns the extreme quotations are abated.
The spinnen of lustre yarns are busy. There is also a
good demand for carded yarns as well as for 40's single, for
the house trade. Some slight business has been done for
Russia, the season for which isjust opening. There is a
alight lull in the piece trade. With the exception that
the American merchants ere looking round and doing a
very traling business, there is no change of any moment
to report. The Americans operate with great caution, but
the fact of their being fn the market after so long an ab. '
sence tends to create confidence. Wherever manufactu-
rers bolding stocks are willing to accept recent rates, they
may realise. The present ls "between seasons." Some
massif/securers, however, are already showing their novel-
ties in Lucy goods. The horns trade Is sink. Owing to
the firintiedi in cotton warps and the high price of wool
goods are continually getting dearer, notwithstanding the
quieter tone prevailing.

CORN.—BIRICIIi G NAM, APRIL 23.—At this day's market
there was • fair supply of English wheat, which sold at
fully :Ist week's rater, but we do not alter our quotation•
Foreign rather higher. Barley of all kind■ fully as high.
More doing in oats. Beans inquired for. Peas only taken
in retail.

Bal.pot, Arun 21—At our market today there
was a very scanty of supply of English wheat ; the de-
mend was good, and an advance of la. to 2a. per qr. readily
paid ; foreign plentiful, und with a good consumptive
trade rather higher prices were generally obtainable. liar.
ley of all kinds iaquired for, and the turn dearer. tats
held for rather more money, which checked the trade.
Indian corn offered on rather easier terms.

ButT St. Snyt RD'S, APRIL 21—There was a fair show
of wheat offered at tine market to-day ; the trade WAS not

DEVIZES, APRIL 23.—We were fairly supplied with
wheat to-day ; but the demand wars not brisk, although
we can hardly say that it was slow. There seems at the
present moment a disposition to purchase only for imme-
diate use, which necessarily imports some degree of
languor to the trade. The business done was at last week's
prices, and at the close some quantity was left unsold. In
barley the trade must be reported as merely nominal ; the
supply being small, and the demand commensurate with
it. Beans are Is. a quarter dearer. Oats as last week.
Peas, from Vs. to 235. Best white wheat, 375. to 395. 6d. ;
best red ditto, 365. to 395. Oil, ; barley, 398. to 46e. ;
beano, 26e. 6d. to 298. 6d. •, eats, 245. to 308. ; peas, ?lc
to Ele. • vetches, 24a. to 295. • rye, 19a. to 21s. ; fine
flour, as. to 110 a. ; beat seconds. 345. to 34a.
Gruver -wren, APRIL 22.—The wheat trade since this
day se'nnight has been very firm in tone, with • steady
oonsrumptive sale. Supplies of English Wheat are small
at this and the neighbouring markets, for which the de.
mend is brisk, at Is. per qr. more money ; foreign is in
good request, and Gd. to la. per (kr. dearer. Malting barley
is sera ,and sells at extreme prices; grinding is held for
an advance of 6d. per qr., but the demand continues
limited. Oats 6d. per qr. dearer. Beans and peas firm.
Maize, 6d. per qr. cheaper.
MANCHESTER, APRIL SL—Our market was tolerably
well attended. The beet samples of English wheat
mast be quoted le.' per quarter dearer, while other
sorts brought fall prices. Foreign advanced 2d. to 3d. per
medal, but with only a moderate demand Flour in some
cases was held for an improvement of Gd. per sack, but
in the business done no quotable change was observable.
Oats and oatmeal brought fully late rates. Beane, both
English and foreign, were Is. per quarter higher. Indian
cons, on the contrary, receded Is. to Is. 6d. per quarter.
Newane, Arm. 22.—Wheat WA moderately repre-
sented for tho time of the year. The best samples were
disposed of ct an advance of about Is. per qr., and other
sorts were quite as deer as of late. No material alteration
in barley. There were small supplies of other kinds of
grain, and business was for the most part transacted at
enhanced terms.

►ll sold at last week's rates. Barley ♦ scarce, and

CATTLE.—Biannrontie, APRIL n—The supply of
beasts this day was good both in number and quality ; the

lities ; otherwise the top price was rid. The supply of
sheep was about en avenge number ; the imam trade by
no meana active ; late rates barely maintained. The num-
ber of lambs on offer was good ; the demand steady ; pries'
a shade lower. Calves a good time-of-year supply ; trade
slow at late prices.
BRISTOL, Aran 23.—We had the largest supply of beef
at our market to-day that we have seen here for the past
few months. The consignments from Ireland wore
limited, but acs received large supplies from Cornwall, in
addition to a good show of nevus and Hereford'. The
full supply canted trade to be rather dull and Inferior

the cattle, only two or three lob, assisting of Cheviot

demand was experienced for all kinds of stock, except kith
cattle, which were not much inquired after. For thu ire
