MARKETS.

MARKETS FOR MANUFACTURES.

MANCHESTER.—The market has been quiet throughout
the week, and considerable caution has been exercised
by manufacturers, buyers for the borne trade, and the
export houses. Prices have, for the most part, been steady,
with not more than the turn in favour of the buyer; in yarns
of some descriptions, however, rather better terms have been
obtained by purchasers. The change is attributable to a feeling
that prices are fully as high as they are likely to go, and that
cotton has reached a price which renders circumspection ne-
cessary where safety from loss is sought. Under these cir-
cumstances, the yarn market has been very generally dull.
Warps and cops for the home trade are also dull, and may be
had id. to id. below the prices previously asked. In cloth of
all kinds a fair demand continues. Printing cloths are still
in good request; also 36in. shirtings, whilst 40in. are rather
less so. Offers at a decline for any description of goods are
not accepted.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET,
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 11.
This morning's market was tolerably well attended by
country as well as local millers—the tone of the trade was in
all respects more healthy, and we experienced rather an active
sale for Wheats as well to consumers of our own district and
the interior, as for shipment to Ireland and coastwise, in addi-
tion to a tolerably large quantity taken for investment, prices
rating Id. to 2d. Der bushel over the currency of Tuesday last
Flour was also in good request, Western Canal at an improve-
ment of 6d., and choice Baltimore, &c., 9d. per barrel ; some
parcels were taken for Ireland and on speculation, and the
transactions would have been more extensive, but for the
limited quantity of suitable descriptions offering for sale,
Barleys, Malt, and Beans fully support late value; but Pease
are rather cheaper. Oats in limited demand, but Oatmeal in
improved sale, and held for 3d. advance. Indian Corn, ex
warehouse, met a moderate inquiry, and several floating cargoes
changed hands. Annexed are Tuesday's quotations :

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 11

At steady prices the inquiry for beef continues moderately
active; and the sales for the week reach to fully an average
extent. Pork is again dearer Is to 2s per barrel, with a good
demand, and the stock here light. There is an active inquiry
for Irish and English Bacon and Hams, at the late advance.
Lard has again declined is per cwt., without leading to in-
creased business : the sales for the week do not reach 20 tons.
The demand for Cheese is brisk, at full rates.

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 14

The Butter Market was languid last week, the few sales made
were chiefly confined to middling and low qualities at from
72s to 80s. Fine descriptions were quite neglected, and holders
would have submitted to a reduction of Is per cwt. to have met
buyers. To-day rather better feeling existed, and should the
present severe weather continue, a better demand is expected.
Belfast may be quoted 80s to 88s; fine Waterford, SBs to 90s ;
Clonmel and Wexford, 85s to S7s ; Coleraine and Ballymoney,
848 to 85s ; Limerick, 80s to 84s ; Sligo. 82s to 84s ; and pickled
Cnrk, seconds, SSs tos 90s per cwt., landed. Imported from
Ireland from the 7th to the 12th instant, both inclusive, 2830
firkins, 25 kegs, 353 crocks, 251 boxes, 195 barrels Butter;
143 bales Bacon ; 44 hhds., 12 tces. Hams, and 92 kegs Lard.
