MARKETS.
MARKETS FOR MANUFACTURES.

MANCHESTER.—On Tuesday, the gloom which had come
over the market was a good deal relieved by the greater proba-
bility which had arisen that the differences between Russia and'
Turkey would be settled without a resort to war; amd, although•
business continued dull, rather more disposition to, purchase
showed itself than at the latter end of last week. On Thursday
and Friday, however, the apprehension of hostilities, was re-
vived; and a renewed feeling of depression came over the
market; so that hardly any operations have been ventured
upon. The agitation, now going on for an advance of wages in
spinning and weaving, and for a restriction of the hours of
work, for all bands, to the legal limit for women anti children,
tend to render producers more indifferent than they otherwise
would be about entering into contracts. We hear of various
instances in which employers have yielded to their workpeople.
At Stockport, the miilowners are willing to raise the spinning
departments fully as much as, on inquiry, they find that they
are under the average of the district, viz. five per cent in,mule
and eight per cent in throstle ; leaving the wages for weaving,.
which are one to two per cent above the average. untouched.
But the hands reject these terms, and persist in their demand.
of ten per cent all round. The consequence is, that nearly all
the mills in the town. are at a stand.

LEEDS.—The rumours of war betwixt Turkey and Russia, at
this usually dull season, has, to some extent, operated in our
Cloth markets. Stocks, however, are low in the manufacturers'
hands, and prices are firm, the mills continuing in full opera-
tion. Business has been dull in the warehouses, in the home
trade, during the past week ; and the foreign houses-are doing
less in goods of a. general description. There is, however, a
brisk business still doing in the heavier description of goods
for the fall trade.

BRADFORD.—WOOI : The new clips of English Wool continue
to be sold as brought to market, at prices wholly out of the
reach of the consumer; and it is to be feared, ere tong, either
a great loss must be occasioned to the stapler, or a stoppage of
machinery will be inevitable. Yarns: The position of the
spinners, owing to the high price of Wool, is very embarrassing;
and the chief consideration now seems to be, what course they
shall adopt to shield themselves from loss, as the price for
Yarn bears no proportion to its cost. Pieces: There is nothing
but what is cheerless. Goods cannot be made to cover cost,
from the high prices of material and labour. The offers made
by merchants are too low for the manufacturers' acceptance,
and higher prices, especially for all Wool goods, as well as
mixed, must follow, or the supplies will be diminished.

HALIFAX.—Scarcely any goods of any description have
changed hands. In Yarns there is no alteration, either as to
demand or price; and the lull in the Wool trade continues,
without any change in the quotations.
HUDDERSFIELD.—For at least a month to come we may ex-
pect a stillness fn the Woollen trade. Merchants only buy for
immediate demand, to complete or fit up orders on hand.
Manufacturers continue to be well employed throughout the
district. If anything, rather more has been done in fancies,
manufacturers of which are generally busy. especially in plush
vestings, for which there is a good demand.
NormNon...rt.—We cannot report any great improvement
in either branch of our staple manufactures. The Lace trade
seems rather feeble, but the manufacturers are acting with
caution and prudence, and seem to regulate their supply en.
tirely by the demand, which being slack, tends to check pro-
duction. The Hosiery hands are pretty well employed, except
in the coarser departments, in which less work has been done,
as the demand has not been so brisk. The high price of the
raw material compels the manufacturer to be very careful.

CORN

MARKETS.

LIVERPOOL, JUNE 10.—This morning's market was but
slenderly attended ; in the absence of speculative disposition to
purchase Wheat, and most of the millers having of late sup-
plied themselves rather freely, the sales of that grain to-day
are, in the aggregate, to a moderate extent only, but at the
extreme currency of Tuesday ; fine and fresh Wheats are by no
means plentiful, and holders of such generally tenacious at our
full quotations. Several cargoes afloat, mostly of Danube
descriptions, have found buyers these few days. Flour con-
tinues to be taken freely, chiefly for investment, at very full
rates, and for choice lots of Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Ohio,
3d advance is paid. Egyptian Beans are again is per quarter
dearer; several caigoes have been sold to arrive at 30s, c. f.
and i. In Oats a fair business is doing, at an improvement of
id per 45 lbs. on fine, but ordinary sorts cannot be quoted
higher; and Oatmeal is dull at previous rates. Indian Corn,
on the spot, meets a slow demand at scarcely late prices; there
is rather more inquiry for Mediterranean cargoes near at hand,
but no transactions are closed to-day.

MANCHESTER, JUNE 11.—Our market this morning was
moderately attended, but holders of Wheat and Flour requiring
an advance of 2d to 3d per 70 lbs. on the former, and is per
sack and barrel on the latter. but the trade was not brisk.
Beans were again fully Is per quarter, and Oats Id per 45 lbs.
dearer. Other articles were unaltered.
WAKEFIELD, JUNE 10.-The supply of Wheat still con-
tinues moderate ; there is a firm demand for all fresh qualities,
at an advance of 28 per qr.; the chambered sorts are sold at a
similar improvement, which check sales; holders, however,
show great firmness. Barley as before. Oats and shelling
rather creep up. Beans and other articles are unaltered.

NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, JUNE 11.—We had only a
small supply of 'Wheat from the farmers this morning, which
was quickly taken off at an advance of 26 per quarter over the
prices 'of this day se'nnight. In South Country and Foreign
only a limited business was effected, at a similar advance,
buyers being unwilling to give the increased price asked, and
factors remaining firm. Oats in fair demand at late prices.
Malt finds buyers at our quotations. A fair amount of business
done in Flour at an advance of fully is per sack.
WISBECU, JUNE 11.—We have had a small quantity of
Wheat offering here to-day. The farmers asked a great ad-
vance, but ultimately submitted to is to 2s per quarter snore
than last week, and the trade is not fast. No Beans shown,
and only a few samples of Oats, which made higher prices.

CORK, J UNE 11.—Flour has an improved sale, and for select
brands a small advance was obtained. Wheats are held too
high to induce business; there seemed less confidence in it the
last two days. Indian Corn is dull, and cheaper for all but
best samples.
DUBLIN, JUNE 10.—Since Tuesday we have experienced a
most favourable change in the weather; there have been fre-
quent showers of warm and genial rain. Our Corn market
to-day was, on the whole, dull, though we do not note any
alteration in the general currencies.
