ENGLISH BUTTER MARKET, 

 LONDON, Monday, April 23.— Our Butter market is 

 firm, at full prices. The protraetid cold weather is telling 

 eadly against the produce.

CORK BUTTER EXCHANGE, (Saturday last.)— The 

 supplies in the market continue light, averagiug about 400 

 firkius daily. Owing to the coutinued dry and parching 

 weather, which limits the make of butter, prices have gone up 

 during the week, fourths having risen 4s., and fifths 8s. above 

 last week's price. The qualities are nearly all inferior, only 

 two seconds having been made during the week. All the 

 butter brought in bought up freely at quotations. If wet 

 weather set iu, prices would fall considerably. This day's 

 prices range from 783. to 130s.. 



CHIPPENHAM MARKET presented a very auimatel 

 appearance, in consequence of the great demand for cheese, 

 realizing a further advance on last market's prices. About 

 100 tons were pitched. Broad doubles, 66s. to 743.; prime 

 Cheddar, 703. to 80s.; Loaves, 72s. to 783.; Thin, 54s. to 

 603. ; Skim, 24a. to 32s. per cwt. 



GLOUCESTER.— The smallest supply we have had since the 

 fair has been established, owing to the supply of cheese being 

 nearly cleared out. High prices would have been willingly 

 paid if a good article coidd have been obtained ; as it was, 

 seconds and skim, of rather inferior quality, fetched from 50s. 

 to 63s. per cwt. 



CHESTER— About 70 tons were pitched. The demand 

 was good, and nearly all sold at prices from 70s. to 853. 



GLASGOW. — Few cheese coming forward, and scarcely a 

 buyer in the market. About three tons passed the weighhouse 

 scales, and only one cart in the Bazaar. We give former quo- 

 tations. Prime early made, 65s. 6d. to 67a.; late made and 

 inferior, 578. to 60s. ; skim, 26s. per cwt. 



WINES. 



LONDON, FaiDAT, April 20.— In Wines we observe a mode- 

 rate demand for most descriptions, wilh the exception of Capes, 

 in which business is actually suspended, although some holders 

 are offering on lower terras. At a public sale this week of 196 

 pipes Port wines, shipped by Jas. D. Harris, tlie bullc (upwards 

 of 150 pipes) described as superior, and superior old, fetched 

 from £34 to £37 ; a few went lower, and about 20 pipes at £38 

 to £39; 10 pipes at £14 to £46 10s.; and 3 pipes at £51 to 

 £56 10s.

WOOL MARKETS, 



ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, 

 liONDON, Monday, April 23. — Since our last report, 

 very little business haa been passing in home-grown wool, 

 and in most transactions the quotations have had a drooping 

 tendency. The quantity on offer was somewhat increased, 

 and there is scarcely any inquiry for export to the continent. 

 The decline in the value of Port Philip wool at the Liverpool 

 sales baa had some influence upon this market.

LEEDS (English and Foreign) WOOL MARKETS, 

 April 20. — The high price of English combing wool prevents 

 any large purchases being made, though there is still a fair 

 demand for some sorts, and prices arevety firm. Short wool 

 also continues high. In colonial the sales are uot numerous ;
