in Rosin at 56 per cwt for common. For 2,765 bales of Jute
offered by auction, there was but a moderate demand, and holden;
being firm, nearly the whole was taken in, but subsequently 600
bales were sold at previous, prices. The. Manilla and. Bombay
Hemp was withdrawn. In Seeds, we have only to notice 800 bags
Bombay Linseed at 53s to 54s per 'quarter. 50 tons Kooria
Mooria Guano have been sold at £4 59 per ton. .
LIVERPOOL COTTON.-With a fair demand, the cotton market
rules very steady, but without animation. The sales—including
100 Maranham, 'lid to BAd ; 300 Egyptian, 7ad to 9d ; 1,000
Surat, lid to 6d--are reported 7,000 bales, of which 1,500 are
on speculation and for export.
LIVERPOOL CORN.--At this period of the year a practically
correct estimate of our wheat crop of the previous harvest may
be generally arrived at, and judKing from the experience of the
past four months, we may safely' pronounce that the last crop
,realised in this kingdom has not only been abundant, but has
exceeded in quantity the liberal estimates formed at the time of
gathering; this, combined with good old stocks left over, has all
along kept us in a position comparatively independent of foreign
aid, and thus the almost total cessation of imports from America
has had little greater effect than to prevent a further reduction
from previously low prices, while the business done with the near
. continental ports has in few cases been attended-with profit, and
generally resulted in moderate loss. The markets of the country
at the close of the past week were somewhat more firm, but in a
very few instances could any improvement be obtained, the con-
tinued mildness of the season still prejudicing the condition; and
Mark-lane yesterday ruled quite dull. Here we have had a mo-
derate enquiry for wheat since Friday, at full prices, but flour
has moved slowly. .Indian corn and beans firmly supported.
We have no arrivals from America, and the week's imports are
below the average extent. Notwithstanding a better attendance
at our market to-day, the actual business in wheat of any descrip-
tion has proved upon a limited scale, holders generally requiring
previous rates, which we repeat as on this day week, though to
sell in quantity some decline would be necessary. The flour trade
is without alteration, with little business passing. Beans bring
extreme prices. Oats are in very limited request ; but there is
an improved enquiry for oatmeal, and the value of the latter has
improved 2d to 3d per cental on the week. Indian corn does not
go freely into consumption to-day, being generally held for 2d to
3d per cental advance, which serves to check the demand,

THE MANCHESTER Goons.—There was a very buoyant feeling
in the Manchester goods market this morning, produced chiefly
by the favourable advices received from the eastern markets, but
the unsettled state of European politics, tended to check in a
material degree the improvement which other Wise would have
taken place. The amount of business done was moderate, and
the rates were about,the same as last week. _

without showing any material alteration in prices. Refined
lump, quoted 52s 6d to 545. Coffee : The public sales are pro-
gressing steadily. Tek: The public sales have commenced

qmet. Saltpetre has a firm appearance.

transactions :lave been principally Zonfined to shares in Piovi-
dence Mines, Wheal Kitty (Lelant), Wheal Mary Ann, South
Tolgus, Cook's Kitchen, and Cam Brea. The market generally
presents no feature of striking interest. Foreign and colonial
mining securities are steady, with very little business.
LEEDS CORN.-With small arrivals from the coast, our show of
wheat was but moderate. The trade ruled slow, and the busi-
ness done was at Friday's rates. To get on freely in sales rather
lower prices had to be taken. • Barley was very firm at late rates.
Beans and oats as before. Other articles unaltered.

HULT CORN:—Fair supply English wheat, slow sale•at last
weeks prices, except fine' dry wheats which were readily taken
by millers. Barley, beans, and peas, unaltered in value. Oats
for seed Is per quar:er dearer.
NEWCASTLE Coax.—Very thin attendance of buyers, and the

bulkiness done was rather lielow the prices of Saturday.
HALIFAX WORSTED, :Feb.. s.—The wool trade continues in-
active, and altogether about the same condition of things
pre+ails which we reported a week ago. Holders of the raw
material are generally much easier to deal with, and the re-
duCtion which we spoke of last week at id per lb has now got
to id.
BELFAST Poax.—The supply to-day comprised 1,059 pigs, and
the quotations were from 45s to 50s:
DrBLIN Coax.—The supply of home wheat was short, but the
demand, being good, prices were sustained. There was very
little barley in the market, and prices were rather higher in
consequence. There was very little inquiry for foreign wheat.

Coit c 13CrrEn.—The folloN'ving were to-day's quotations :
Firsts, 130 s ; seconds, 130 s ; thirds, 105 s ; fourths, 88s ; fifths,
64s per cwt. 200 in market.

business has been done to-day. The shipments this week
amodnt to 6,585 tons against 8,689 for the corresponding week of
last year. The quotations to-day were—No. 1, Ms 3d to Ms 6d ;

51s to 51s 3d.

very good business done in the Coloured Cloth Hall this morning
in all kinds of light serviceable goods;: in fact, any quantity
meets with ready sale at present.
