CORN EXCHANGE, FEB. 2.

The arrivals of all kinds of Grain this week are tolerably
good, and there is also a large quantity of Flour. There is not
much trade for Wheat to-day, and none hut fine samples meet
a free sale. Barley is rather dearer, as it is a general opinion
ports will not open. Beans are full as dull as last market day.
Pease are dull and lower. Oats find a slow trade at 3londay's
prices.
ARRI VA LS—English Wheat, 4,500; Barley, 5,500; Oats,
11,100 ; Irish Wheat, 70 ; Oats, 2,1300 qrs. ; Flour, 0,300
sacks.

The dispute between the proprietors of cotton
works and their spinners is at last terminated, with the un-
conditional acceptance of the master's terms. It has lasted
twenty weeks, and has occasioned a deficiency in the quantity
of yarn to the value of 200,000/. The spinners, in whose cause
the dispute was maintained, amount to about 650, whose weekly
wages when employed would reach nearly 1,0001. Their total
loss is therefore about 20,000/. But along with these there
were unemployed piercers, preparers of cotton, smiths, *rights,
land other tradesmen, to the number of nearly 6,000, whose loss
cannot be set down at much less than 45,000/. Here therefore
is a defalcation in wages of 65,000/. ; and if it be supposed that
the persons who incurred this part of the loss contrived to live
upon half their usual income, there will still hang over them
debts exceeding 30,0001.—( Glasgow Chronicle. )
