MARKETS.

COTTON.—Lrvirunuor., Feu. 9. —Our market is quiet,
with • limited business at yeeterday's prices. The
Wee are 6,000 bells, including 5,600 Ameticea, 51d. to
; 300 Surat, 40. to sd. ; .100 Pernam, 80. to fild.
Of which 1,500 are for speculation and export. The week's
import is 24,054 bales.

COTTON GOODS. —MANCHESTER, FEB. 9. —Discou raging
&dailies from almost all of our foreign markets continue
seriously to cripple the demand for yarn and cloth. There
is a little business for the home trade, but the demand from
all quarters is insufficient to arrest the downward tendency
of prices which has prevailed for some weeks past. During
the month of January yarns declined id. to id. per lb. ;
in some instances rather more. ludia shirting. gave
way 3d. to 4id. per piece for 711,5. and Nibs., and lid.
on rather lighter makes ; India madspollams, jacconets,
mulls, long cloths, T cloths, and printers, were mostly re-
duced about Id. or lid. per piece; figured shirting' 3d. per
Lie:During the past week the symptoms of weakness
been more evident, especially in the yarn market, and
partly owing to the owner state of cotton, the decline in
some kinde of yarn being id. per lb., and in others fully id.
per lb. since Tuesday. The decline from the commence.
merit of the present year is estimated to average id. per lb.,
some descriptions being as much as Id. per lb. cheaper.
The decline affects more or less all counts of water twist
and warps, and mule twist and weft up to Ws ; and in
mule some rather higher counts are easier. Cloths bane
also further declined during the week, and many of our
manufacturers, now bolding large stocks, are anxious
'ellen. Low as prices are, however, they do not tempt
buyers into the market, though an opinion prevails that
they will not recede much further without inducing some
speculation.

WOOLLEN CLOTS.—Lagna, FEB. 9.—Notwithstand-
ing the very disagreeable weather this morning, the market
was moderately attended, and a fair business was trans-
acted, chiefly in Nahum and spring goods.

HARDWARE—MarIin%An, FEB. 9.—There is in-
creased animation in connexion with the trade of this town.
In the course of the last week the home trade has revived,
a good sprinkling of orders has come in, and in all the
most important staple branches a reaction is visible,
though at present it is on &moderate scale ; but the artisans
generally have been working more time this week. The
fancy trades are still for the most part slack. The orders
in on account of the export trade are still comparatively
small. In the Continental department of it there is more
life ; and the South American merchants report a revival
in that branch of the export trade. In the adjoining dis-
trict business is still dull. At a meeting of the coal.
masters at Wolverhampton, a day or two ago, it was re-
solved to postpone any reduction of the miners' wages ; but
to increase the " dents " (that is the amount of work done
by the men) immediately.

CORN.—CANDIUDOZ, Firm. 9.—Our market was firm for
all corn, at last week's prices. Wheat, red, 36e. to 525. ;
whit*, 56e. to 58a. Barley, 28s. to 445. Beans, 32e. to
40s. Oats. 20a. to 28e. per qr.
- - - -

Canna.; FEB. 9. —We had a fair supply of all
kinds of grain at oar market this morning. For wheat
there was a good demand at fully 6d. per bushel dearer.
Oats good demand, and prices much the same as last week.
Wbest,white, new, 21a. 6d. to 245. 6d. ; red, new, 19s. 6d.

Barleymeal, per stone, le. Bd.—Carlisle Journal.
COLCHESTER, Fn. 9.—A fair supply of wheat and bar-
ley, and moderate of other grain. Barley L.lower. Beans
and peas as last market day.

GUILDPOILD, Frs. 9.—There was not so large • supply
al wheat. It was again difficult to make much progress
with the cold samples, values of which are irregular, but
a
trade was quite as good, and, in some instances, better for
.suseful qualities. Beans and
in great request, and
rather higher. Wheat, o 60 to Ns.; new, 44a. to
; barley, 28e. to 45e.; oats, to 31a.; loans, 40s. to
50a; peas, 40a. to 48a.

ilzatroan, FM 9.—We had a good supply of wheat
today, the greatest quantity being very damp sod inferior ;
the best samples only supported last week's prices ; damp
samples almost unsaleable at less money. Barley
in fair
offer ; the best descriptions made last week's prices ; come
parcels very dull, at barely last week's prices. Oats sold at
former rates. Yeas and beans ruled dull, still not lower.
Wheat, 25e. to 445. per load ; barley, 255. to 445. per
qr. , • oats, 21s. to 30s. per qr. ; peas, Ms. to 30s. per load ;
beam, 26e. to 325. per load.

LIDCZAITZE, Fen. 9.—There was hardly an average quart.
tity of wheat exhibited at our corn market to-day, the
quality of which we. varied. The weather is now very
damp, which has the effect of deteriorating the condition of
wheat, many sample. of which were very poor. For these
mete low pnces were taken ; superior sorts sold at ls. &d-
-unce, old white descriptions were disposed of at 70e. to
NIA ; new 545. to 665. ; old red, 04s. to 68s. ; new, 58s. to
06s. per 3l stone. Of barley the supply was moderate, and
malting samples met a study sale, holders fully maintain-
ing the currencies of the previous market day— 365. to 425.
per quarter. Grinding moved off slowly, and late rates
were not in all instances realised, maniples making 31s. to
Me. per 30 stone. The supply of oats was by no means
abundant, and, with a quiet tone in the trade, the rates of
last week were for the most part supported—old, 325. to
365. ; new, 245. to 28e. per 24 stone. The demand for beans
(the show of which was small) ruled tolerably healthy, and
sales were effected at fully former quotations, old sorts
making 56m. to 58s. ' • new, 345. to 38e. per 38 stone. Fine
flour, 48s. ; seconds, 46e. ; thirds, 445. per 20 stone.
NurcAnets-iron-Trnx, Fns. 9.—At our market this
morning we had a moderate show of wheat from the
growers, condition rather better than of late, and for such a
fair sale was experienced, whilst ill-conditioned lots sold at
low irregular rates. For extra new south country yellow
665. per 5041b5. was paid in retail. Foreign was held very
firmly, Samar new red, with a slight chamber
realising am. per qr. 5041ba. ; in other aorta few transac-
tions occurred. Flour was not largely dealt in, but is
the business passing the full terms of this day atineight
were acquired. Malting barley, unless very choice, most
difficult of disposal ; grinding ler inquired for. Beans and
peas stationary. New oats in good request ; sweet Scotch,
of a good colour, being saleable at 285., weighing naturally
about 40Ibs. per bushel. The arrivals this week are :
Wheat, coastwise, 3,927 qrs. • foreign, 890; lerley, coast-
wise 78 ; foreign, 1,617 ; lilts, coastwise, 2,491 ; flour,
1,800 Backs.

Noitancti, FEB. 9.—Wheat was in fair supply here to-
day ; the condition of some samples was moderate,
aad these met a slow male but for dry parcels last week's
retie were fully supported. Barley was in comparatively
limited supply—although the deliveries of this grain here
are larger than at any other exchange in the provinces, the
last weekly official average extending to 5,667 qrs.—and in
some instances Is. per qr. more money was given for the
beet malting qualities. White wheat is quoted this evening,
565. to 60a ; red ditto, 545. to 58e. ; damp and inferior ditto,
50a. to 545. ; best chevalier malting barley, 435. to 45e. ;
runs chevalier ditto, 41a. to 435. ; distilling ditto, 31s. to
31e. ; oats, 26r. to 30s. ; beans, 4` ' . to 48e. • peas (mapel),
42a to 46e. per qr. Flour, 41s. to 42a per sack, from the
Mine!.

NOTETEGIEME, FEB. 9.-At our can market to-day there
was a moderate attendance, and the show of wheat was
tolerably good. The bulk of the supply was of the new
crop, and samples were generally of indifferent quality. The
demand was heavy, at the rates of the previous week. Old
white sorts found purchasers at hfis. to 795. ; sew ditto,
52k to 6.4. ; old red, 64a. to 735, ; new, 475. to 635. per 36
stone. There was only • limited show of barley offered, the
quality of which was for the most part secondary, and
only suitable for grinding purposes. The tone of the trade
ruled quiet, and prices for all fine samples were quite as high
as on the week preceding, while inferior sold slowly-malt-
leg, 365. to 445. • foreign Seale, 445. to 475. per qr. ; old
grinding, 335. to As. ; new, 30s. to 335. pet 30 stone. The
supply of oats was tolerable, and the amount of business
transacted was middling, at no material change in prices-
old, 325. to 395. ; new, 245. to :10s.; foreign, 28s. to 32e. per
24 stone. Beans came to hand sparingly, and met • steady
sale at previous currencies--old, 56e. to 59e. ; new, :01. to
40s. per 38 stone. Superfine flour, 48e. to 525. ; fine, 43k
to 46e. per sack.
OXFORD, FEB. 9.-A large quantity of wheat offering at
market to-day ; a good deal of which was in such bad con-
dition that dealers and millers would hardly con-
deMeed to look at it • but fur all dry samples there was
an eagerness to purchase, and consequently • large bulk
was disposed of at a small advance on last week's quota-
tions. The same remarks will apply to all other kinds of
grain. With regard to beans, for which there was a great
cell for planting purposes, they were much dearer. It
is thought by many that there having been such a demand
for good corn of all descriptions-rick after rick disappear-
ing- better prices for the farmer are looming in the dis-
tance. Flour was worth 46e. per reek.
Perzasoftocce, Pas. 9. -At our market to-day we
had a good supply of wheat, which met a fair sale at
fully the prices of this day week. Barley again lower. Gate,
sample fur seed Is. dearer. Beans unaltered. Best
red wheat, 58e. per qr. of *Ube. • common ditto,
46e. to 48e. per qr. of 4801 be. ; oats, Is. ld. to is. W. per
stone ; beans, old, 555. pee qr. of 5321b5.

RIADING, Frs. 9.—There was an average attendance at
ear market this morning. The supply of wheat still con-
tinua to come scantily to hand, and foe the most part in
wretched condition. Business ruled heavy, and prices must
be quoted same as last week. There was a demand for the
finer sample., of malting barley. No alteration in other
articles.

ROCBEBttlt, Fee. 9.—At this corn exchange wheat, of
both home and foreign kinds, came to hand in rather liberal
quantities, but there was a great deal of inferior placed on
the stands. On the whole the trade was in a sluggish con-
dition, cod although prices were rather lower millers re-
trained from operating to any considerable extent. For the
old fine and dry samples the rates of last week were de-
manded sod given, but other kinds were difficult to dispose
of, and although most of the secondary and inferior lots
were offered at a decline of Is. to Its. per quarter, only a
very limited amount of business was tramacted. Some beet
eem plss of white were sold at Ms. to 705., sod red from 60s.
to 6‘ Tbe prime qualities of foreign sold slowly', at fully
fart week's rates, but little business was transacted in other
lOads. Barley, both malting and grinding kinds, is dull of
sale, end the Mrs cheaper. Some of the very best samples

for malting purposes were, however. taiseu at former quota.
Cons. Good-conditioned oats sell nt previous rake, but in•
ferior parcels could scarcely be got rid of even at a slight
reduction. Best, qualities of beans and peas made full
terms, but other kinds were easier to purchase. Flour a
rather firmer in price.

WISBECII, Fte. 9.—We hare a better supply of wheat
this week, with rather less of other vein. The beat dry
millers' wheat made 25., and all other kinds Is. per 'lr.
over the prices of last week. Oats and beans &hoist ea be.
fore. Prices to grower:—Wheat, white, new, 595. t.
60a, 65ibe. per bushel ; red. new, 455. to 565., falba ;
oats, new, is. to L. Id. per stone.
WOBCIBIII2, Fla 9.—At this day's market there was an
increased supply of wheat which sold slowly at about the
prices of this day week. Barley dull, and tending
downwards. Oats takes in retail at previous rates. Beans
held for quite as much loamy. Peas neglected.

- --
KIRKCALDY, FEB. 9.—At our country markets this
week we had lessened supplies of grain, sore partieultrly
of barley and eats. Sales ready, at prices in favour of
sellers. Here, to-day, we had only moderate supplies of
wheat and barley, but good of oats. Sales ready. Wheat,
Is. per qr. higher. Barley and oats the full prices of lest
week. Wheat, 345. to 61e. per yr. ; barley, 32e. to 43e. 6d.
oats, 22e. to S 2 a.

WATERFORD, Fes. 9. Our market has been very
sparingly supplied with home-grown grain this week, but
we have had considerable arrivals of wheat and Indian
corn from the Black Sea. There has been a greater degree
of firmness in the trade than for some weeks past, but there
is still an absence of activity, as buyers confine their opera•
tions to the supply of immediate wants. Irish wheat we
quote fully as dear as on this day se'unight, and for choice
samples rather more money would be given. Foreign in re.
tail demand at unaltered rates. Barley very strong, par.
Ocularly best malting qualities, which are scarce. Oats—
No improvement whatever on be noted in the condition,
and holders are obliged to take 3d. per barrel less money to
make sales prime samples wanted, and for such shippers
would pay fate rates. ladies corn in fair request at about
former prices ; some purchases ex ship have been made at
reduction of 3d. per barrel. Flour more inquired for,
but not dearer. Imports this week :—Whet, 7,33.5 qrs. ;
Indian corn, 12,980 qrs. ; flour, 50 sacks. &ports this
week :—Oate, 5,770 barrels ; flour, 1,419 sacks ; Indian
corn, 45 barrels ; oatmeal, 118 sacks.
YORK, FEB. P.—The attendance of farmers and factors
at our corn market to•day was pretty fair, but there was
ostL.lrroa somewhat limited supply of wheat, consisting of a
sprinkling of old sorts and the remainder of the new crop,
t letter being in wretched condition. The trade ruled
slow ; inferior sorts were neglected ; good conditioned tam.
*s made late prices ; for white qualities prices ranged
from 58e. to 645. ; for red ditto, 45e. to 565. per quarter of
36 stone. The barley trade assumed a rather quiet wed,
bat choke parcels were taken off at fully former terms,
wimples realising 38e. to 425. per quarter; coarse qualities
for feed purposes were in moderate supply and the demand
was slow at picas in some cases the turn easier, 335. to 355.
per 30 stone being the ruling terms. There was a limited
show of oats, principally of the new crop, and with a quiet
tone in the trade samples moved off at their former value;
the best sorts made 28s. • ordinary, 245. per 24 stone.
Beans tame to hand spariniy, and the demand was firm at
the extreme prices of lent turday ; old, 48s. to 56a.; new
40s. to 425. per 38 stone. Ilalt, 70s. to 725. ; rye, Us. per
quarter. Flour, 48s. to 50e. per 20 stone.

HIDES.—The hide market has felt the influence of the
high rates ruling for money, and the early promise of the
year has been affected by it ; independently of this, there
are the same causes existing for a steady and healthy trade,
as noticed in our Price Current of the Bth ult. Salted Hides:
The sales from the above came have been very limited, and
with the following results, via.: South American. Notwith.
standing the fair support given to these hides by the holders,
the sales, although limit• are made at prices in favour of
buyers, with the exception of a prime parcel of light ox
bides, for which 61d. par lb. was paid, and showing an id.
per lb. advance. The present maximum quotations are for
Buenos Ayres and Monte Video, heavy ex, 711. to 71d. ;
light ox, 6 Jd. toiSid; col!'" 61d. to 61d. ; Bin Grande, heavy
ox,
ox, about 7d. ; liglitox,fild. to 81d. ;rz4M. to 61d. per lb.
Australian have been in steady demand d the month, and
have, as we thought they would do, an advance, but
the market is for the moment quiet. Ist heavy,
have brought sd. to 51d.; tat 41d. Melbourne, lst
heavy, ad. ; first light, 41d. per lb. Caps, the quantity of
these hides brought forward has been limited, and present
prices are the same as those current at the close of the past
year. First heavy, Cape Town, were sold at 61d. ; first
light, bid. per lb. Horse Hides : South American have
been almost out of demand, theeales being very limited et
the following prices, viz., weighing 311 to 341 lbs., 10s. to
10a. fid. per hide. English market hides are reported as
being eff quality, but upon the wbolesteady in price. East
India : the quantity sold at the two sales held in the past
inooth was only moderate. Good qualities were sold at Id.
to Id. per lb. advance, but all other descriptions were, if
anything, in favour of buyers. The export demand was not
so good as had previously existed. At the sales held on the
7th instant, there was a better export demand, and heavy
averages and low to middling qualities were sold at an ad-
ranee of id. to id. per lb. The leather market is reported
to be steady with a fair businees doing, and a good demand,
but checked by the high rates of discount.—(From the
monthly circular of Messrs. Culverwell, Brooks, and Co.)
