that the proprietors of these consignments must suffer some pecuniary losses, unless a material alteration in value should occur either there or here. Like the American landholders and corn factors, the noblemen of Poland continue likewise to be loud in their complaints against the British corn laws. Reciprocity in commerce, they fancy to consist in selling their crops in Great Britain for money, and in purchasing in France the finest descriptions of wines, and in Italy all the luxuries of Southern climates, with the money received from England in exchange for Polish wheats. This system of trade is not free enough for the interests of commercial England. Her manufacturers know, or ought to know, that by smuggling is France compelled alone to use British manufactures, and the quantity thus consumed is immaterial, and throughout Germany the duties levied on their importation are in many instances nearly prohibitory, whilst we receive French wines, hemp, flax, tallow, &c., &c., on the terms of the most favoured nations. Some rain now and fine weather afterwards, however, will make the United Kingdom far more prosperous than a free corn trade can do, for in general seasons it would be attended by contrary effects.

LEEDS, April 24.-Prices continue nominally the same as our last report. Stock at market is rather light, the manufacturers buying only for present consumption, and it is with difficulty receat prices can be maintained.

EXETER.-Wool.-This market was dull, at a quotation for Yolk Wool, of 91. per lb. Washed Wools.Knott Wool, from 12d. to 13d.; Dorset Horn, 13d. to 14d.; and Marsh Wool, 13d. to 14d. per per lb. Sorts.Fell Wools-Coarse, 7d. to 8d.; Broad Head, 9d. per lb. In Kent Head, business is dull, but this description support its price at 10d. per lb.; as does Fine Head, at from 11d. to 114d. per lb. In Short Fell Combing, as well as Old Skin Combing, there is not at present much deing, but we are enabled to quote the first at from 11d. to 11d.; and the latter, at from 13d. to 13 d. per lb. Fleece Wools.-Of these descriptions, Short Coarse, must be quoted at from 8d. to 84d.; Red and Pinions, 8 d. to 9d.; Green, 101d to. 104d.; Cornish Stripe, 13d. to 134d.; North Devon Stripe, 13 d. to 13 d.; Tops, 16d. to 164d.; Matching Tops, 18 d. to 18 d.per lb.

CHESTERFIELD, April 21.-From the accounts given of the wool trade in this quarter, they are in strict uniformity. The statements are-that an unusual dulness pervades the market, and that the only quality in request are coarse wools; nor are the prices any better than what they have been for some time past. The staplers here have accumulated large stocks, under the impression that prospects would have brightened before this. The clipping has partially commenced in this part of the country, and bids fair to increase the already stocked chambers very materially, which, we are afraid, will tend in a great measure to keep the present rates stationary.

DUBLIN, THURSDAY.-A decided improvement in the demand for the French and English markets, the price 19s., with few sellers.

APRIL 27.

Several extensive purchases of colonial Wool have been concluded during the past week, at full prices; but in other kinds exceedingly little is doing. The im ports have amounted to about 1200 packages.

THE WOOL TRADE, LONDON, THURSDAY EVEN ING.-There continues to be a firm market for Colonial wools, and Spanish descriptions have been also in some request. Domestic fleeces are rather neglected. It is satisfactory to mention that the accounts received from our Australian colonies, relative to the growth of weel, continue of a highly favourable character; and that at the Cape of Good Hope, also, the agriculturists have effected great improvements in this staple. The imports of wool in the week ending to-day, have been only 717 bales, of which 406 were from Tangiers, in Africa; 303 from Germany, and the rest from North America.

POTATO MARKET.

SOUTHWARK WATER-SIDE, APRIL 27. The weather during the past week has been exceedingly fine and hot, and combined with the circumstance of being Easter week (holiday), has operated greatly against sales for Potatoes. We have also to report the arrivals of another liberal supply from all parts, which are as follows, viz,-from Yorkshire, 1478 tons; Scotland, 315; Jersey, 95; Kent, Essex, and Suffolk, 178; Wisbeach, 120, making a total of 2186 tons, a large supply at the present advanced season, and depressed state of the market. Prime fresh qualities being alone in request by the trade, much difficulty is experienced in disposing of inferior samples at reduced rates.
