MARKET isiEWS—(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY
The quantity of English Wheat received fresh up to this
morning's market, coastwise and by land carriage, was li-
mited ; nevertheless, it was fully equal to the demand. The
few buyers in attendance purchased only for immediate
wants, at prices barely equal to those paid on Idonday. For
forward delivery next to nothing was doing. The import
of foreign Wheat has amounted to 4,120 quarters, Selected
qualities were held firmly, at full quotations; but the value
of other kinds was almost nominal. We had a moderate
sale for Barley, at late currencies. The show of English was
unusually small. The Malt trade was very dull. Oats—the
show of which was by no means extensive—moved off
slowly, but no further decline took place in the quotations
Bothwßeans and Peas were quite as dear, but Indian Corn
and Flour meta very slow inquiry.

For all new Hops the demand is steady, at fully last week's
prices. In all other kinds very little business is doing.

STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian of this day.)
MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—The Canada's advices of the
26th ult. from New York, apprise us of a further rise of IA
to %c. per lb. in the price of cotton at all the ports of the
Union, although the total receipts were 2,820,205 bales
against 2,169,342 last year, while the accounts of the grow-
ing crop continued highly favourable. These accounts have
in some degree strengthened the upward tendency which the
market had previously manifested. In the great bulk of
mule and water yarns, from No. 40's or 50's downward,
the market is rather dearer than before ; for, if the
spinners are not requiring an advance, they at
least abide firmly by their quotations, and to the extent of
the business effected, those quotations are realised, This is
practically a gain of about %d. per lb., so far as the transac-
tions go : and, in some instances, this is carried beyond the
realisation of prices previously required to a demand for an
additional %d. But business is restricted by this require-
ment. The buyers distrust the continuance of a rise in
America, which is merely a consequence of improved ac-
counts from Liverpool, and which is outstripping the up-
ward course on this side. They therefore hold back from
business, and the transactions of the day are of no great
amount. It is evident, however, that, at the previous rates,
the home consumers of yarns would have supplied them-
selves to a fair extent, as would also some of the export
houses. In the finer spinning, there is, as before, a more
decided tendency upward than in the lower and medium
counts. In the department of goods ,there is a similar dis-
position amongst producers to raise their terms, though not
in an equal degree, nor so generally in the various descrip-
tions, as in yarns. The most backward makes are domes-
tics,:T cloths, and the lower qualities of printers.
ROCHDALE, MONDAY,—We have had a steady demand
for pieces to-day, at former prices. There have been a few
Londcn buyers in the market to-day, which has given a
greater stimulus to business. There has been a better de-
mand for wool, and former prices have been freely given.
MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY.—The position of this market, as
regards demand for silk manufactured goods,is now apparently
less active than we have had occasion to report for some weeks
past, in consequence of the spring trade being ended. A
good business continues doing in light descriptions of piece
goods; and this also applies to some black handkerchief
manufactures. The thrown silk market is becoming gloomy,
which is attributed to some extent to manufacturers waiting
to see what styles of goods are likely to take for the autumn ;
but the demand for fine descriptions for continental purposes
continues to a fair extent. The throwsters are now busier
than they have been for some time past. The raw silk
market may be quoted much firmer for Chinas and Bengals,
and the approaching public sales of the 231 inst. in London
have had a tendency to check business, although the amount
to be brought forward is very small. We are sorry to have
to report a failure of a silk broker of this town, whose
liabilities are variously stated from 1,5001. to 5.0001.
HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—Both in oar Piece-hall and in the
warehouses the demand for worsted goods, of all sorts is
exceedingly limited, and sales cannot be effected to any
extent, except at rates which are wholly unremunerative.
The yarn market also continues in a very languid
