WAKEFIELD, FEs. It—We have a fair supply of wheat,
and our demand continuing of the most limited character, sales
proceed slowly at a decline of Is per quarter. The arrival of
barley is large, principally foreigi,; good qualities of English
sell at late prices; other sorts somewhat cheaper. Oats and
shelling very little inquired for, and rather lower. No altera-
tion in the value of beans or other articks.

continues very dull.—Bristol Mercury.

and prices are firm, with an upward tendency, particularly in
low qualities. Business has also been brisker in the ware-
houses this week than for some time past, and the shipping
houses are getting busier.
BRADFORD, FEB. 13.—Wools—There has been nothing
very worthy of comment during the week. Spinners are
shy buyers at present prices, and the:staplers offer no induce-
ment for increased operations. Noilcand brokes are taken off
the market as they are made at firm prices. Yarns—There is
no new feature for the better in the-yarn market ; the trade
is as bad as it can be, the cost of the Materials and yarn being
so, nearly alike leaves little margin for labour, and the result is
ruinous. Pieces—There is no improvement in the demand for
orleans and cobourgs, and fancy goods are only in limited
quantity.
TRADE OF MANCHESTER, FEB. 13.—The continued de-
cline of cotton places our spinners and manufacturers in a
very awkward awl critical position. The market appears to
have lost all confidence for the preseut in the maintenance and
stability of prises, and heaviness and gloom are its prevailing
characteristics. There has scarcely been business enough to-
day to determine what rates would be acceded to; but there
can be no doubt that for any considerable order a modification
of prices equal to 3d per piece on cloth, on the nominal rates,
vvhich are already from 3d to 4d below the quotations of this
day last week, would be accepted. The decline on yarns is in
the same proportion.
