MARKET&

OOTTo2.l.—Lmiarom, JAL 24.—The sales of cotton
to-day are estimated at 8,000 balm. A quiet market at
yesterday's prices.

WOOL AND WORSTED.—iIitADFORD, Jar. 24.—The
languor noticed the last week or two still continues, without
aia4hange for the better. Though prices have been sus-
t with remarkable firmness, still some staplers manifest
today a willingness to make slight concessions in the price
of some sorts of wool rather than hold longer ; nevertheless
buyers as. seldom tempted to purchase what they do not
immediately require. There is no improvement, either, in
the demand for house consumption. Spinners are from week
to week curtailing their production, which is now telling
largely upon the operatives. There is no appreciable deluge
in price. There is again very little doing in goods ; fancy
and plain fabrics are alike dull for the time of the year, and
the production is greatly diminished. Among the home
merchants there is a little more inquiry for spring gall,
The American branch of our trade is quite stagnant. The
foreigners, though cautious, are still the most actin buyers.
Some orders have been given out for Italy, and a few small
ones for Germany, but these an very inconsiderable. The
Orleans makers have met with a few speculative orders for
the French market. As a whole, however, the continental
trade is quiet. The probability of hostilities between Den-
mark and Prussia induces caution. Thus the shadow of war
nannies its baleful influence here.

CORN.—Bzemieon ex, JAN. 24. —At Gloucester and Wor-
cester markets, on the 19th, there were very large supplies
from the farmers, and the sales made were at a reduction
of fully Is. per quarter. Barley dull, but not cheaper.
Oats quite as dear. Beans and peas less in request. During
the present week few transactions are reported in wheat,
and prices tending downwards. Barley also rather lower.
Oat, firm. Beans and peas only taken in retail. At Wel.
rerhampton. yesterday, there was a large quantity of wheat
offering, and a decline of Is. to 2.. per quarter had to be
submitted to. At this day's market there was again a large
supply of wheat from the farmers, and fine qualities were
Is. and other kinds 2.. per quarter lower. Barley Is. per
quarter cheaper. Oats nominally unaltered. Beans and
peas only taken in retail.
Div=4, Jam. 24.—We had • fair supply of wheat,
dry picked samples haviug maintained last week's prices ;
but all other qualities of which the bulk of the supply
consisted, and which, owing to the thaw and the damp
atmosphere, were in the most wretched condition, were alto-
gather unsaleable. Barley was in fair supply and was firm at
last week's prices. Wheat, best, 60s. to 405.; middling, 475.
to 665.; inferior, 40a. to 475. Burley, 30s. to 4:e. Oat., Zia. is
335. Beans, 465. to 53. Peas, 43. to 465. Flour, fine,
49a. to 53. per sack ; seconds, 445. to 475.

MANCHEVITH, J.tN. 24. Our market this morning was
well attended, but the demand for wheat ass limited. In
the value of the best descriptions of either English or
foreign, however, scarcely any change was apparent, but
secondary sorts were obtainable at a reduction of Is. to 2s.
per quarter. In flour there was very little doing, but
French and Spanish were not quotably tower, while English
declined Is. per sack, and American 6d. per barrel. Oats
and oatmeal- receded Id. per 4.31b5. nod 6d. per load re-
spectively. Beans ruled firm, but Indian corn was the turn
cheaper.

NEWARK, J.tN. 23.—The condition of wheat at today's
market was wretched, and business was principally confined
to the better samples, at about the rates of last week.
Thera was a poor show of barley ; fine qualities of malting
only found buyers, inferior were again lower. More in-
gairy oats at full rates. In beans no alteration. Prices :
—Wheat, white, 545. to 765. ; red, 50s. to 70a. per 36
stone. Barley, malting, 38e. to 455. per qr.; grinding, Ms.
to 345. per 30 stone. Oats, old, 325. to 37e.; new, 265.
to 32a. per 34 stone. Beans, old, 51s. to 585.; new, 38e.
to 435. per 38 stone.
NIIVIIVIT, JAN. 24.—We had • very large supply of
wheat, for which the trade was exceedingly slow, the
majority being rough ; • decline of 21. per qr. was sub-
mitted to on what was disposed of. A large quantity of
barley on offer, and very little doing, at • reduction of Is.
per qr. Oats, beans, sod peas dull, at late rates.

UXBRIDGE, J. 24.-11 e break up of the frost has
made samples of grain come in had omehtion, and the trade
is consequently heavy. Wheat is 2s. per qr. lower. No
quotable change in the value of spring corn.
WATERFORD, JAN. 23.—We have no foreign arrivals to
report since Saturday, and our supplies of homegrown
grain are moderate. Our market is quiet but firm, and for
moat articles of the trade we experience a moderate iuquiry
at about previous rates. Weather mild.
