THE COTTN TR.Y MARKETS.

LIVERPOOL, MAY 22.—Not much passing in the trade to-
day. Indian corn a shade dearer.
.llpwcx I STER. MAy 22.—A rather firmer feeling has pre-
vailed in the flour bade during the week, choice fresh-made
parcels, particularly of household quality, having moved off
steadily on Prrival at full, and in some instances for favourable
marks, at slightly enhanced rates. In other articles no mate-
rial variation has occurred. With the exception of tolerably
fair quantities of oats and oatmeal from Ireland, the arrivals
thence and coastwise are extremely light; and from abroad
the supplies are on a much less extensive sca!e than for some
weeks past. At our market this morning wheat fully sup-
ported the currency of this day se'nnight. whilst flour was
generally held for a little more money. Oats, except of the
finest quality, were the turn cheaper; but oatmeal was firm at
late rates.

NOTTINGHAM, MAY 23. —At our Market to-day we had a
better supply of wheat, and the prices of last week were im-
proved upon, in some instances an advance'of Is per quarter
being given. Grinding barley was rather dearer. Oats and
beans maintained their value. The average prices of grain
and flour in Nottingham are as follow:—wheat, old white, 45s
to 48s per 36 stone new ditto, 42s and 48s; old red, 34s to
425. Barley, for malting, 28s to 31s ; for grinding, 27s to 28s.
Oats, 20s to 235. Beans, old, 34s to 36s per 31 stone ; new
ditto, 31s to 31s; Egypt'an, 30s to 3:s. Flour, super, 30s to
35s per 20 stone; fine, 28s to 295.
At Woodbridge the supply was not large, and some business
was done for shipping at fully late rates; for good freshly-
thrashed samples is more money was given.
At Stowmarket wheat was about the same as last week.
There was scarcely a sample of spring corn in the market.
On Thursday, at Bishop's Stortford, wheat was 6d to Is
dearer ; spring cons was firm in price.
WoRCESTER, MAY 22.—The market is steady, and a fair
amount of business was transacted to-day. English white
wheat ranges from 15s 6d to 16s 6d per bag, and red 14s 6d to
15s 6d. halting barley 3s 6d per bushel, and distilling quali-
ties 33 to 3s 4d. English beans 4s 2d to 4s 6d per bushel, and
foreign 4s to 4s 4d, with a limited business. New English oats
3s to 3s '2d per 391 b. and old 3s 6d to 3s 9d, Irish, 2s 6d to 31.
White peas 3s 10d, and gray 3s 8d per bushel. Spring vetches
4s 6d to 4s 10d per bushel.
At Stratford-on-Avon market on Friday there was an aver-
age amount of business transacted at our last quotations.
At Stourbridge market en Friday there was a fair supply of
wheat, which sold freely at fully the rates of last market•day
Bariey maintained last week's quotations. Beans were also
held firmly at former rates. In peas and oats the business
was exceedingly limited, but there was no actual reduction in
price.
At Wolverhampton market the supply of wheat from the
farmers and dealers was moderate, and as millers were willing
to purchase at former rates, the market ruled firm, and for
fine qualities of wheat some little advance was realized. Eng-
lish white fetched from 5s 4d to 5s 6d per 621 b, and red 5s to
5s 3d. Good malting barley steady in price, the run being
from 28s to 30s per quarter. New English beans quite as
dear, say 12s 3d to 12s 9d per 9 ilb, old about 13s to I3s 6d.
There was a dull sale for oats, which were rather in favour of
buyers. English oats 22s to 23s per imperial quarter, Irish
20s to 225. No black on sale.
DALKILITH, MAY 20.—The relative weight per four bushels
of the three prices of wheat were lest 121 b, 18st 71b, and 17st
21b. Oats, 12st 71b, 12st 41b, and 1 Ist 01b. Barley, 16st 51b,
15st 91b, and 14st 101 b. Peas and beans, l9st 01b, 18st 4114
and 17st 121bs.

DUBLIN, MAT 21.—We have again to report an extremely
dull market at our Corn Exchange to-day. Our quotations
represent scarcely more than retail transactions, and the general
tendency of the trade was to low rates. Wheat, white, 23'1

CORK, MAY 21.
The supply of home grain dwindles away daily. The re-
ceipts for the last six days are only t—Wheat 41 brls, at 19s to
22s ; barley 136 brls at 12s 3d to 13s; oats 6'6 brls, at lOs 3ct
to ifs per brl. The quantity of native grain coming
.iet°
market is so trifling as to make quotations altogether nominal.
The stocks of the primer descriptions of foreign wheat are
narrowed to a small compass, and as holders on this account
are firm in their pretensions, but little business has been dOe
in the article. In the other descriptions the sales being male
are only to a moderate extent at late prices. There is litt
barley held in this market. We have not heard of any trans'
actions in oats, which are rather dull at our late quotations'
The trade in prime flour is very languid, and the busine-a
passing is confined entirely to the supply of the more pressinbge
wants of bakers. Inferior descriptions also partake .10 press`
which at the close of last week and during the early part
dulness, and are less free of sale than of late. Indian corm
of Oil
present, manifested a tendency to decline, has partially resumes
a firm tone, and with a fair consumptive demand for t'_
article, we believe our late quotations will pretty fairly state the
position of the market. A sale of foreign flour, by auction, has
not been without its effect upon that branch of the trade.

firmness in the wool market, and the apprehension that vir°_,
may advance in price in consequence of the accounts Vre
Australia, have to a small extent induced speculation. 1„d
stocks are by no means large in the manufacturers' hand!, t.
they still continue to act with the greatest caution. BusinT
has also been pretty brisk in the warehouses since this day Wee
and a little more is doing in the shipping houses.
BRADFORD WORSTED, MAT 20.—The spring trade having
closed, there is great depression in business ; but the cor.
dente in prices continues, which makes them stiffer, and,'„
some cases higher. Those who are going to the wool Oleg
hardly know how to decide with regard to their purchwes. The
most notable feature in the market is the advance upon cotton
warps. We have heard of 4d more per lb being obtained flf
them. Lustres, wools, nolls, and brokes are most in demon,'

TO TAKE INK OUT Or LINEN.--Take a piece Ot
tallow, melt it, and dip the spotted part of the linen into tb°
melted tallow; the linen may then be washed, and the spots
will disappear without injuring the linen.
