The large arrivals of foreign Wheat tend to check any up.
ward movement; but holders were firm, and showed more dis.
position to raise than lower prices, and the market was sterdy
without any alteration in the currency. Beans and Barley the
turn in favour of the seller. Oats and other articles the same
as last week.

Aided by a few further arrivals of Irish and foreign produce
since Friday, the entries collectively into this port during the
week afford a moderate increase of Wheat, Oats, Beans, and
Pease, including a tolerably large suppply of Indian Corn and
Oatmeal, with a fair quantity of Flour, but of anything coast-
wise we have very little fresh in for to-day.
The reports from many of the provincial markets, both in this
country and Ireland, towards the close of last week. repre-
sented the trade to exhibit an inclination upwards ; but the
fine settled weather here for several days past, combined with
the slight reaction in London yesterday, caused a dull sale for
Wheat of all descriptions, which, losing the amendment noted
on Friday, reverted to prices scarcely equal to those of this day
week.

Indian Corn, although in some cases slightly depressed in
value, was in brisk demand for Ireland, and a large proportion
of the stock was disposed of. In Corn Meal we have no change
to note.

STATE OF

TRADE

MANCHESTER.—The more cheerful tone observable in our
market at the commencement of the present week has conti-
nued, although.the actual amount of business resulting has
been moderate. There has, hcwever, been considerable in-
quiry going on, and it is understood there are many' orders
ready to be given out, whenever general confidence is a little
more restored. Indeed, the operations during the week have
been exceedingly small, as compared with the extent of in-
quiry. Prices as•yet show no improvement. From some de-
scriptions of goods prices have been accepted this week fully as
low as any quoted during the last month. The news of a pros•
pect of a friendly settlemeat of the dispute between Denmark
and Prussia, by an acceptance on the part of those powers of
the mediation of Great Britain, produced a general feeling of

LEEDS.—We are glad to say that the indiCations of ithprove-
ment in the woollen trade which we have had lately to nr,tice
still continue, and this week a fair seasonable average business
has been done both at the public Cloth Halls and at the mer-
chants' warehouses. Several orders for the American market
have been received; and if we, as a nation, but keep at peace

HALI FA x.—Trade is still rather dull here, but, if anything,
it has improved this week, the demand for both Wain and
fancy goods being better than it was last week. Yarns and
wools are without alteration.

BRADFOP.D.—WOOI.—There is no change to report for the
as the spinners are buying as little as they possibly can
ao ; the supply is very limited, yet fully equal to the wants of
the consumers. The sales of Colonial wools, which commenced
on Thursday in London. are expected to go off heavily, as there
will not be the usual attendance of buyers for export, who, for
some time past, have been spirited in their purchases. boils
and brokes are now produced in limited quantity, and there is
ready sale for such kinds as are adapted to the present de-
mand. Yarns.—This branch of the trade continues in a most
depressed condition ; the total absence of the continental
buyers, and the great falling off in the tnousseline-de-laine
trade, leaves the entire demand for home consumption, which
is not so active as a month ago. Piece.--The manufacturing
department has, and still continues to be, better supported
than the spinning. The home trade has continued very lively
for fancy goods, and there are orders now giving out for any-
thing particularly cheap and tasteful for the autumn.
HUDDERSFIELD.—The staple trade of this town and neigh-
bourhood is rather dull. The trade with the continent is nearly
closed at present; but there are some orders for the United
States on hand, which keep the mills going, but not to a full
extent, and there are many operatives but partially employed.
ROCHDALE.—We have had a better attendance in the Flan-
nel market, but trade is dull, and there has been no improve-
ment either in demand or prices. Wool remains same as our
last, both in demand and prices. The handloom Flannel
weavers have not half work, but power-loom workers are
better employed.

CORN

THE CARPET TRADE.—There is, we understand, a slight
improvement noticeable in the staple trade of this town, and it
is to be hoped that the change may assume a more marked and
decided character. Some houses are described as doing more
business than formerly, but the trade of others is stated to be
still depressed. The newly-invented description of manufac-
ture termed tapestry carpeting, which has been introduced into
the town, appears to be progressing favourably, as. in addition
to the large establishment of a noted firm here, two other ma-
nufacturers, we understand, intend pitting Oon a considerable
number of these looms, with more in contemplation. The men
employed at the first named firm have latterly been working
short time, but have now resumed full work.—Kidderminster
Paper. •
GLAsoow.—The stoppage of the old and highly-respectable
firms of W. and J. Eccles, and Eccles' Burnley, and Co., was
announeed last week, and it is stated the amount of liabilities
will exceed X 300,000. This long-established and highly-
esteemed concern was connected with the West India trade,
and the great depreciation of property in that quarter is the
cause; assigned for the failure. The banks are the principal
sufferers, and it. is thought that the amount of engagements to
manufacturers, will be comparatively trivial. It is also re-
ported that the Messrs. Halden, of Aberdeen, the most exten-
sive spinners and manufacturers in that place, have stopped
payments. The letters from the United States have naturally
given some disappointment ; • but, with this exception, and the
momentary depression produced by the failures reported here
and in England, a much more hopeful feeling has begun to
prevail. A number of buyers from the English home trade
houses are at present in town. Our market is still without any
visible alteration.

XCIIANGE, MAY 5

Our supplies received Coastwise and from Ireland, since
Monday last, are small, and beyond 500 quarters of Wheat and
190 quarters of Pease, we have no fresh arrivals to report from
abroad ' • notwithstanding which, the uninterrupted continu-
ance of fine weather, which appears to be very general, is stated
to impart a depressing tendency in nearly every market of the
country, and leaves the trade here without animation : we
have, therefore, very few transactions to note during
i the inter-
val from Tuesday last, with little change, however, n the cur-
rency of that day.

We liaWacfvi'ces from New York to the 18th ultimo : Wheat
and Flour, though reduced in value, still rated too high for
shipment to England, the former being 445. to 48s. per 4801 b,
and the latter 265. 6d. to 275. Gd. per barrel sterling, free on
board,; and though freights continued low and the rate of ex-
change had risen to 11
in
the loss that would occur on transac-
tions those articles is evident, whilst Indian Corn showed a
margin for moderate profit upon our late improved quotations.
In accordance with the foregoing remarks, no lively symp-
toms were apparent in any department of the trade at our
Market to-day. Upon a very limited demand, Wheat of all
descriptions declined 2d. to 3d. per 701 b. from the current
rates of Tuesday last; and Flour, being equally difficult of sale,
American receded Gd. per barrel, and Irish, as well as home-
made, 6d. to Is. per sack.
Barley and Malt were held at late prices, at which little
business.—Beans and Pease, being in slow request, were ob-
tainable on rather easier terms. Oats, in the absence of coun-
try buyers, attracted much less attention than heretofore, and
were the turn lower in value; and Oatmeal, influenced by the
same cause, barely sustained our last quotations.
Indian Corwcommanded much less notice this morning than
for some time past, and although an abatement of 6d. to Is.
per 4801 b. was conceded, few parcels were sold.—Corn Meal
also met little inquiry, and declined 6th per barrel.

NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE CORN MARKET,
MAY 6.
We have had a week of very fine weather, and the country
looks well. The arrivals of Grain, both from the coasts and
from abroad, have been insignificant. At to-day's market,
there was a fair show of Wheat, which sold pretty freely at last
Saturday's rates. In Foreign, there was little passing, Malt-
ing Barley met more inquiry, at an advance of is. to 2s. per
quarter. In Rye and Pease, nothing doing. Oats were a dull
sale, at a trifling
.decline. Wheat—Northumberland, red,
445. to 50s. per quarter; Ditto, white, 4es. to 525. per quarter.
Flour—Norfolk Households, 345. to 365. per quarter.

WISBECH CORN MARKET, MAY 6.
There has been a fair quantity of Wheat offering to-day, and
in much finer condition; but the remarkably fine weather has
cause° the trade to become exceedingly dull, and at a reduc-
tion of 2s. per quarter the trade was slow, and but little busi-
ness was done in that article. Beans and Oats have got the
turn at last, have become animated, and at an advance of full
Is. per quarter, and in some cases rather more, all the samples
were freely taken. Prices to the grower :—Wheat, new, white,
60 lbs. to 63 lbs., 455. to 48s. ; Extra, 50s. per quarter. Wheat,
new, red, 60 lbs. to 63 1b5.,435. to 455.; Extra, 475. per quarter.
Oats, 10id. to ll4d. per stone. Beans, new, 65 lbs. to 66i lbs.,
365. to 378. ; Extra, 38s. per quarter.

A few chests of Indigo sold at steady prices.-30 chests of
Gum Arabic have been disposed of at a reduction ; 75 bags of
Cutch brought 21s. to 225. per cwt. ; Gambier dull, and offers
on lower terms ; 300 bags of Sago Flour sold at 19a. to 205.,
and 50 cases Castor Oil at 6d. per lb., also 300 slabs Banca Tin
at 80s. per cwt.—About 2500 1)&0 of Saltpetre have been dis-
posed of at 28s. to 31s. per cwt., but it has become dull, and
some sales attempted this week were withdrawn for want of
buyers.—ln Nitrate of Soda about 1500 bags sold at 12s. 6d. to
12s. 9d., and small lots at 13s. per cwt.
Guano : During the week there has been little demand, and --------- - -
the sales are confined to small retail lots. WARRINGTON CORN MARKET, MAY 2.

prices of American advanced fully id. per lb.,

lower qualities. Since the arrival of the American steamer on tiously, though offered 9s. per p. lower. Barley fully supports
the 3rd instant, rather more has been on show; the demand,
however, continues steady, but the full advance has not been late prices, and on Malt we have to note a further improve-
ment of Is. per load. Oats and Shelling rather lower, with a
maintained. In Brazil, Egyptian, and Surat, no decided

American and 200 Surats, and exporters 4210 American, 590

Fine weather has had its usual depressing influence during
the week, upon this an the neighbouring markets of Liverpool
and Wakefield ; and the business done has been upon a very
limited scale. At our Corn Exchange this morning, the trans-
actions are confined to retail sales for the supply of present
wants. We reduce our quotations for Wheat 3d. per bushel,
Flour Is. per sack, and Indian Corn Is. per quarter. For other
articles former rates are maintained pretty steadily.
