LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MARCH 3.
The late heavy import, coincident with the political intelli-
gence from the Continent, produced a sudden decline in prices

at a general recuction of fully *d. per lb. from the quotations
of last week. Speculators have taken 1000 American, and ex-
porters 400 American and 50 Surat ; and there have been for-
warded into the country unsold during the fast month 1250

THE WOOL MARKET.

We have to report a fair extent of iWsiiris;
the month, and, although without any chant
there is a firmer tone, and, for such descriptio
rather higher prices are demanded, and, in soi
certain qualities of East India, which are in gc

advance has been obtained. A public sale of about 300 bales of
this description was held here the early part of the month, all
of which sold at full prices. There has been a fair demand
for Mogadore, principally for middling to good qualities, both
for the home trade and export : prices are held rather firmer.
We have had more doing in Buenos Ayres, the demand being
principally for better qualities Mestizo's, but we cannot quote
any improvement in prices. Common qualities are very much
depressed, and difficult of sale. A little has been done in Cor-
dova, both washed and in the grease, at former rates. Several
sales have beer, made in Russia Donskoi, but without a change
in price. A fair business has been done in l'eruvian, washed
and in the grease, but the demand is confined to better quali-
ties of both kinds ; other kinds are quite neglected the stock
of this description has been accumulating for some time, and
is now becoming considerable. Several large sales of Alpaca
have been made during the last week, but without auy change
in prices either for white or colours. Public sales have been
going forward in London since the 10th instant, consisting
principally of fine Colonial, and are now about closing; the re-

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE. FEB. 29.
Although during several days past we have had a stroni
from the west, very few vessels have entered this nort

stated, are consequently light.
Notwithstanding the duties on foreign Grain will be resumed
to. morrow, this circumstance has not produced any material
effect upon the corn trade at our market this day.
Wheat, however, has been rather more firm, at the full prices
of this day week, for all kinds of foreign.; and fine Irish new,
which was scarce, was the turn dearer.

of Tuesday last.

WISBECH CORN MARKET, MARCH 4.
We have again a small supply of Wheat, which sells readily
at an advance of full Is. per quarter. Beans and Oats no al-
teration. Prices to the growers .—Wheat, new white, 60 lbs. to
63 lbs., 445. to 465.; extra, 51s. per quarter. Wheat, new red,

NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE CORN MARKET,

MARCH 4

There have been numerous arrivals during the week of
Wheat, Oats, and Flour, from the coast ; and at to-day's mar-
ket there was a fair show of Wheat from the farmers. Although
the trade ruled decidedly firmer, prices must be quoted about
the same as last week, except for choice samples, which were
dearer. The re-imposition of duty on grain from abroad has
caused the holders of foreign Wheat to raise their pretentions,
but there were very few sales effected. Malting Barley conti-
nues very dull sale. In Rye and Pease scarcely anything doing.
Oats met little inquiry, except for seed. Northumberland red
Wheat, 48s. to 535. per qr. ; ditto, white, 50s. to 545.; Norfolk
household Flour, 375. to 38s. per sack.

MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, MARCH 4.
Supplies have diminished in all our principal markets ; and
this, with the resumption of duties of 6s. per qr. upon Wheat,
2s. 6d. upon all otter grain, and 3s. Bd. per barrel, or ss. 3d.
per wick on Flour, induces more steadiness and less desire to
sell.—A fair business has been doing here during the week, at
full prices for every article.—At both Liverpool and Wakefield
yesterday a tendency to improvement was observable.—Our
market to-day assumes a more cheerful aspect; there is a fair
sale for each article, at prices rather tending upwards, with the
exception of Beans and Malt.—Any advance, however, which is
obtained upon last week's prices is not sufficiently general and
decided to warrant our altering the quotations of our last.

WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, MARCH 4.
At our market to-day there was a fair Supply of Wheat, for
which the demand is good at fully last week's prices. Barley
in limited request, and barely maintains its late value. Oats
are quite as dear, and Shelling meets a readier sale. Beans
are offered Is. per qr. lower.

LEEDS CORN MARKET. FEB. 29.
We have to report only a moderate supply of grain to-day.
The best samples of Wheat met a pretty good demand at late
rates, but those out of condition were difficult to sell. To make
progress in sales of Barley lower prices have been submitted to.
Beans fully Is. per yr. cheaper. Oats were not plentiful, and
fully as dear.

HULL CORN MARKET, FEB. 29.
The great weight of rain which has fallen during the week
has prevented any improvement in the condition of Wheat, and
must prove unfavourable to the growing crops. No alteration
in the value or demand for Wheat. Barley, or Oats. Beans are
not yet wanted for sowing, and they are rather easier to pur-
chase. Linseed Cakes have a downward tendency. A few
steamers have arrived from abroad with Wheat in time to save
the duty; but most of the sailing vessels have been prevented
owing to contrary winds.

BIRMINGHAM CORN MARKET. MARCH 2.
During the present week little Wheat has changed hands, but
prices are fully maintained for all descriptions, and not much
Polish Odessa offered. Barley but little inquired for. In Oats,
there is a fair sale, at the reduced currency of last week. Beans
also are quite as dear. At this day's market there was a fair
supply of Wheat, which sold at about the rates of this day
se'nnight. Barley Gd. to Is. per quarter lower. Oats fully as
dear, with an improved demand. Beans maintained their a-

DUBLIN CORN MARKET, MARCH 3.
There was a very moderate supply at our market to-day.
The market generally was dull, and Wheat was in some in-
stances 6d. cheaper, and Oats and Barley scarcely supported

DUBLIN CATTLE MARKET. MARCH 2.
We had a full heavy market of cattle, but rather small in
sheep. Last week's prices of Beef were barely supported, from
the large market on Monday in Liverpool. Sheep were fewer
than usual, and id. to fd. upwards. Beef, 445. to 525. and 535.
