MARKETS.

9d. ; 50 Pernam, Sid., of which 4,000 are for speculation
and export. The week's import is 47,597 Wee.

BILK.—We have to report a changed market for silk.
All was going on well to the close of April—unusually large
deliveries, diminished arrivals, and comparative ease m the
money market, all tending to a restoration of confidence and
general purchases at gradually stiffening prices—but with the
firstted news fronameriea the demand began to slacken and
is now reduced to a very moderate scale. The deliveries,
too, appear to be relapsing to about an average rate. The
improved prisms are at present fairly maintained. Jape,n
silk shared in the general currency of demand while it lasted,
and now shares in the general slackness, except for quite the
highest classes, of which some few small parcels have lately
been landed. Chinese thrown milk bs continued through.
out entirely unnoticed. Bengal silk had but a small sham
in the improved doings of March and April, and now forme
no exception to the general quiet, although the deliveries
show a considerable increase upon previous months. la
Italian, Brutia, mad Fenian silk,,nothing of moment.—(From
the circular of Masan. Durant and Co.)

CORN.—Boaros, MAT B.—There was a better demand
for wheat at our market, and prices were la. higher than
last week. Beans were very firm, and in some cases Ia
more money was given. Oats same as last week. Wheat,
red, 445. to 55e. ; white, Si.. to 60s. Beans, 49a. to 525.
Oahe, 245. to 26e, for 11 stone.
STOCKTON-On-TEES, MAT B.—The supply of grain at our
market this morning was moderate ; there being a large at.
tendance of buyers, wheat met a free sale at the extreme
prices of last Wednesday. Oats in pod demand, at full
prices. Barley, dull sale. Beane, ls. dearer. Pees un-
altered. Imports during the past week :—Wheat, coast.
WWI, 60 qrs. Oats, foreign, 1,000.

GLASGOW, MAY B.—This day's market was rather thinly
attended, and previous rates could not be exceeded for
wheat, although there was more inquiry than of late.
Flour sold more readily at about former prices. In oat' or
barley no change. Beans, for feeding, more saleable. Pen
unaltered. Indian corn offered at a decline of 6d. per boll,
without attracting much attention.

HIDES AND LRATHER.—Although we are able to
report some increase is the isles of leather during the yea
month, we cannot give • more estrafacta7 soonest of the
position of the market generally. Prices of most article'
are rather lower, while there is so concession at present es
the leading article of the raw material for sole leather,
South American bides ; and as the prospects of trod, do not
lead us to anticipate an increased consumption of leather,
we cannot see any immediate remedy for the existing dis-
crepancy between the prices of leather and hides. The
only hope is, that the caution which has for some time
pest marked the operation of tanners will be maintained,
end that thus lower prices of hides will eventually be the
result. There is no doubt that although the stocks of
loather held by futon are considerable, they are generally
small in the hands of the dealers and consumers, sod we
therefore look for steady, if not an extensive, future de-
mand. Raw goods, with the exception of South American
hides, have generally shows a downward tendency. The
imports have been moderate. The public sake h►ve been
very dull, the demand having fallen off for exportation,
while for the home trade it has been restricted to the im-
mediate wants of tanners. At Leadenhall yesterdailhwerr
was vet little change from the previous week.
more business was done at former • —(From the at.
