OOTTON.—Livatroot., MAT 3.—The tendency of the
American accounts has again been to strengthen the feeling
of holders, and had it not been that the Manchester market
continued rather unsatisfactory there would have been a
sharp rise in the value of the article. The disposition of
holders has consequently been to realise at the advance,
which is Id. to id. per lb. upon the current qualities of
American. Brasil is steady, and Eforptian has again bees
freely offered at previous prices. The business in Burst has
continued very extensive, both on the spot and for arrival,
at id. per lb. higher rata'. It must be remarked that the
fiewginned has attracted considerable attention at Id. per
lb. advance. Speculators have taken 18,850 American, 80
Egyptian, and 4,440 Surat ; and there are reported for ex-
port 5,080 American and 11,380 Surat. The demand con-
tinues active this morning ; the sales may probably reach
15,000 bales, including 6,000 on speculation and for export,
at full rates.

COTTON GOODS.—Materkten, MAT 3.—The market
continues very much as IS was an Tuesday, but if there be
say change at all it is in the direction of greater quietness
or weakness. In piece-goods there is an absence of demand
from any quarter and quotations remain unaltered. The
excitement at Liverpool seems to have ao effect whatever
in giving an upward impulse here. Neither can the market
be said to have suffered from the receipt of unfavourable
telegrams from Calcutta and Bombay yesterday. In the
face of those adverse accounts, DO one is disposed to operate
for India, bat the market hare was previously inactive, and
simply remains as it was. In the market for yarns there
is scarcely any business going on, and spinners are
evidently disappointed at their ill success in attempting to
raise quotations somewhat in proportion to the &demos of
cotton. Rather than go sway quite without orders, some
sellers bare accepted them to-day at slightly lower rotes
than they would have agreed to on Tuesday. It is b
however, that the demand will revive as it usualljd
towards Whitsuntide, in anticipation of the autumn trade.

CORN.—CaruesroaD, MAT 3.—There was a moderate
supply of wheat at market today, but a very slow demand
for beet descriptions at former rates, secondary quality 2s.
lower ; best white, 625. to 655. ; Talavera, 66e. to
extra, 70s. Beans warty, and ls. dearer ; Meagan, 40s. to
42e ; ticks, 435. to 465. Barley without change.
. .

Lincour, M& 3.—A moderate supply of wheat; the
demand, however, was exceedingly limited, and the prioes
of last market day were with difficulty maintained for beet
samples, whilst snytbiog inferior was quite unsaleable.
Malting barley sold readily at la. advance. Oats and beaux
were in good requeet, at a alight advance. Wheat, red,
48a. to 60s. ; white, Me. to Ms. Barley, 325. to 38e.
Besse. 49a. to Ns. Oda; 265. to Ws. per 11 stones.

Liens Pooh, N•l3.—The probable effect the American rap-
tare will have oil the shipments from that country has at-
tended more attention toffy and although there is no great
improvement in the demand for wheat, Rill previous quota-
tions are more readily obtainable than on this day annight.
Flour has had a decidedly better inquiry, and cannot sow be
bought under the extreme rates of last Friday. Indian corn
is in little favour and main the turn lower, making the re-
duction on the week nearly ls. per quarter. Bata and oat-
meal steady, and the fanner somewhat scarce. Beans, peas,
and barley are without alteration in value, the latter very
difficult to move. The market closes with much firmness,
more particularly for flour.
WIJOIPIIILD. MAT 3. —The trade in wheat was slow.
last Friday's prices were generally maintained. The de-
mand for barley oontinuee very sparing. Beans are fully
as dear as before. Oata are in better request, and prices are
in favour of sellers. Shelling without change. Average
week ending April 29 :—Wheat, 747 qrs. at 60a. 4d. ; barley,
70 qrs., 38s. 70.; oats, 20 qrs., 2Ss. ; beans 70qrs., 45e. 3}d.
