WOOL AND WORSTUA—Bnanvonn. AMR. 11.—
The beautiful weather for seeding and the reduced rate of
amount tend to produce a cheerful feeling to-day in every
department of our trade, and there is far more cou6dence.
Wool is vary firm in price. There is a fair inquiry, but
staplers are not heavily stocked, and are not very anxious
to sell. There is very little doing in abort wools for this
district, and still lees for the clothing districts. There has
been considerable inquiry for worsted yarns this morning,
but the prices offered are very low. Orden might be
accepted at low prices, but the high price of wool forbids
this. The accounts from Leipsic are not encouraging.
Many of the largest buyers were " conspicuous by
their &heelers." A few orders not material is
extent have been given out for. Russia. There is a slight
improvement in the home trade. The general condition of
the piece trade is unaltered. Then is no movement on the
pert of home buyers ; the weather does not appear to sti-
mulate busieens on their part. There is a little more doing
on the part of the American merchants ; a little is also
doing in fancies for the Continent. There is no demand for
plaie goods for export. The uncertain state of Continental
polities prevents operations, and it is not expected that an
improvement will take place till the news is more satratao-
tory than at present.

THE IRON TRADE.—ThelmonAir, Aran 11.—The
ironmasters' meeting was held In this town to-day, the
attendance being very large. A good feeling was created
early io the day by the announcement that the rate of dis-
eonat had been reduced to five per cent. The business trans-
acted was not large, but it was greater than had been anti-
cipated; and papas wore firmer for all description' of
finished iron ; it may be noted however that sales have been
effected at so low a rate recently that quotations could
neareely reeede further. There was a considerable quantity
of pig yea sold, but prices did not improve, unless free-
florally ; the tone of the meeting was, however, more cheer-
ful than at the Wolverhampton assembly.

CORN. —Brairmin SU, Aram 11. —At Gloucester market,
an the 6th, English wheat was Is., at Worcester, the same
day, ls. to 2s. luwer ; on foreign the turn was hi favoar of the
buyer. Barley and pease gave way Is. to 2s. Oats and
beans unaltered. During the present week scarcely any
sales of wheat are reported ; the radian, having reduced
the retail price of flour ls. Bd. per sack, will not pay the
rates demanded for wheat. Barley nominal in price. Oats
taken in retail at the quotations. Beans firm. Bather
more doing in pease, owing to their being so much below
the price of beans. At Wolverhampton, yesterday, very
little wheat changed bands, owing to the firmness of holders. '
At this duy's market there was a abort supply of wheat, but
the trade ruled very dull, and to effect saw • reductiva of
Is. to 2s. per quarter had to be submitted to. Rather
move doing in fine barley. Oats, beans, and pease taken in
retail at former currency.
DIMAS, Aram 11.—We had a small supply of wheat ;
the very best qualities realised last week's prices, but
middling and interior sorts were in favour of the buyer.
The malting season being nearly over, there was not much
doing in barley, except for seed,whicliWlA in demand; a fair
business was done at last week's prices. In the seed trade
there was more life. Clover, 465. to 60s. per cwt ; trefoil,
to Zia Wheat, beat, 665. to 645. ; muddling, 43a. to
56..; inferior, 36e. to 435. Barley, 30a. to 445. Oats. Zia

MANCHENTER, APRIL 11.—Our market this morning was
slenderly attended, and the proceedings were of a lifeless
character. English wheat was le. tots. per quarter lower,
except for the finest qualities, and foreign was the turn
cheaper. In French flour there was no change, but Ame-
rican and English were offering at less money, without in-
ducing buyers to operate. Oats and oatmeal sold slowly
at late rates. Beans and Indian corn were Om.

NENARE, Aram 10.—At today's market we had •
rather better attendance, with a fair show of farmers
wheat ; the sales made were principally of the hest
samples, at rather less money than last week's quotations.
Barley a dull sale. Oats and beans had more inquiry,
without change ie grim
Ntn►SUar, AMYL U.—We bad • moderate supply of
wheat, for which the trade ruled exceedingly slow, at a
decline of 2s. per qr. Nothing doing in either Mirky, oats,
beans, or peas. -
