MARKETS.

Corn Exchange, Mark Lane. Friday, Feb. 24.-There are but few vessels fresh up with Grain since Monday, owing to the contrary state of the wind. Wheat continues dull in sale at Monday's terms. In all other Grain the transactions have been so limited that the prices may be reported as at the beginning of the week, with a very heavy trade.

BUTTER.

Landed: Carlow, 90s. to 925.; Waterford, 82s. to 88s.; Dutch, 112s. These prices are for the best articles of the respective kinds : inferiors can be had at from 50s. to 70s.

CHEESE.

In this trade there have always been periodical fits of failing and ruin: it is no wonder, therefore, in this time of general distress, that this trade should have its share. It requires a good slice of the "Three Monday, Feb. 27.-During the Millions to restore it; but, unforprincipal part of last week the wind tunately, the stocks on hand having was contrary, the supplies therefore already fallen about 30 per cent. in were moderate; but towards the close value, two-thirds of the present value of the week the wind being more fa-would be a very inadequate relief.
