MARKET&

MANUFACTURES,—IirDDESAFISLD, APRIL 7. The
buyers attending to-day hate been few either from Lon-
don or the provinces, and business transactions have not
partaken of the usual character of a spring trade. Some
little has been dose in fancy coatings and troweling, of
different kinds and patterns, awl • few selections have
been made from the better claims of plain goods, but the
aggregate has not reached the average of last month.
Iddt-class fancy' are leas in demand, and the shipping
continues inactive.

WOOLS.—HUDDULSVICLD, APRIL 7.—The wool trade
keeps moderately steady, but not brisk. Some moderate
parcels of coiewials have changed hands daring the week at
current rates, and there is a little more inquiry for
German lambs.

COTTON GOODS.—Mairmuirtin, APRIL 7.—A quieter
market in cotton at Liverpool to-day, with a decline of Ad.
per lb. at the commencement of busnem had the effect of
lowering the tune here, and has produced a marked de-
pression. The market for shipping yarns has amumed a
quieter tone, but spinners are firm, and adhere rather
strongly to their quotations. They appear to have a good
deal of confidence in the vitality of high prices, and are in-
disposed at present to follow the depression reported at
LiverpooL In home trade yarns we have had only a
moderate trade to-day. Prices are from td. to Ad. per lb.
below the extreme quotations of Saturday, and are again
at about the level of Friday. A report from Liverpool, at
noon, of rather more doing in cotton, has not had much
'anomie. It has caused a little more inquiry, but not
much more business. In cloth there was a fair amount of
business effected last week, and especially in resale lots,
the prices of which were low enough to compete very sue.
ceedully with the lowest rates at which manufacturers
could afford to offer their cloth. Between Friday and the
close of yesterday prices had advanced comiderably, and
manufacturers had put up their quotations so as to cover
the advance in the values of cotton. To-day the quieter
tone of the Liverpool cotton market (noted above) appears
to have indnoed buyers to withdraw from purchasing for
the moment, and the business dons has been small. The
still high and well-sustained prices of yarn, however, corn.
pel manifsetnrers to adhere with a good deal of pertinacity
to the high rates for cloth now ruling. There are still some
resale lots of cloth in the market.

WOOLLEN.—Lime, APRIL 7.—There Lam not been
much badness done at the cloth halls this roornirg. The
attendance of buyers both from Leeds and out-town houses
has been below the average, and those who have been
present have been mostly on the alert for anything " job-
bish." Few panels why of special notice have been
transferred. In one or two instances union mittens have
hande to a moderate extent, but the general
transfer Minot been large. Tweeds are now only aaked
for to sort up stooks, or to execute present orders which
at this period are not large. Coador, plain cloths, and
other descriptions hare been quiet. White diagonals have
been only slightlp inquired after, and the Amount of Wai-
ner done in hair lists has been limited. In the latter
make a few transactions have taken place in better class
'- though only in small quantities. Prices retain a
Won.

CORN.—Hum,AYett.7.—Weather continues remarkably
fine for the season cf the year, and the spring sowing m-
amas under the most favourable auspices, if anything the
weather is too dry, and rain would now be rather banefielal
than °thornier,. At to-dies market a fair supply of Eng-
lish wheat, which moves off at about last week's currency
—best rens of red making 725. to 73• per qr. of 5041 b. to
the grower. Foreign meets with rather more attention
than of late, but no quotable alteration in value. Barley
of choice quality fully as dear, bat secondary descriptions
neglected. Beans and peal unaltered. Oats support late
currency, but demand only of a retail character. Indian
corn--• fine panel of Egyptian just arrived per steamer is
offering at 41s. per 480Ib. Foreign arrivals for the week :

tares, 40 ; Indian oorn, 928 qm.
Ironic's, Aram 7.—The supply of wheat was very
mall here to-day, and was freely taken by millers at the
I extreme prices of last week. Barley is nearly exhausted.
Beans and peas ream dearer and scarce.
Leine, APIO. 7.—Thare is decidedly more inquiry
for wheat to-day, bat the views of millers and holders
are too much at variance to allow of much business
being done • at late rates a large isle would take place.
Very little 'demand for barley, and prioes barely sustaind.
Beams, eats, and other articles as before.
Idvitsector., Arfin. 7.—We had a
fair retied-
son at our market *day, sad white wheat :as oaly

from the rates of this day week. Bad wheats were slow

NRWPAPPLI-OK-T APRIL 7.—We have bad some fius
rain dude; the sight Lad up to mid-day, which will prose
_.
cornetist service to the country. At our market this
awning. notwithstanding that we had a moderate show
of wheat from the growers as well u from the coast, the
trade, although firm, ruled exoeediegly quiet, sod so few
transactions costarred as to render Saturday's prices quite
nominal. In other articles little stirring, and with quo-
tations unchanged.
BALTRIWRT, APISH, 7.—Tbo supply of all descriptions of
path this morning was moderate, and the attendance of
bum, short. More money being asked rendered the trade
limited, and last market's priced were maintained. Flour
unaltered in value. The inquiry for barley was of a s err
limited nature, without any Microdots of prices. Malt
was a slow sale but held with firmness. In other descrip.
tions of grain little business was transacted, without any
change of vales. Wheat, ;.is. to 80s.: barley, :rio. to

CATTLE. s --ALl,llllll', APRIL 7. —At to-day's market we
had a abort supply of beasts, and the quantity generally
was of an infenor eharecttr. The attendance of buyers
was short. Good things met a fair demand, at full prices,
whilst rougher sorts were a slow sale and cheaper; a
clearance was not effected. Sheep were very limitedly
supplied, trade steady; best Downs realised full prices,
and other sorts a little cheaper. We had a good supply of
calves, trade dull, and iftlisesl prices according to their
relative value. There was a good supply of lean stock and
mikh cows, in which a very steady trade was doing.

good business was done, and small pigs were the
