done to the grain.
| CoMMERcIAL.-The cotton market has been In
quiescent state. In the manufacturing districts bu
siness the of satisfactory, and of the
mills In Blackburn have already commenced working
short time. The news which arrived recently from
the United Statea with respect to the Tariff having
passed the Senate, will, there is to believe,
give new life to trade.
The proceedings in the market are tolerably &C
tive both for the home trade and for the exports.
This money market Is easy, and for legitimate bu-

1t is singular that prices of the value of flour and
grain are given.
| CONTINENTAL MARKEr.-The latest accounts from
the north of Europe of similar character to those
last published The trade in wheat appears to have
been dull at the leading ports of the Baltic. At
Hamburger brisk trade is going on, which is in fair
