COTTON.—Lmotroot., A uuctrr 21.—Stininlated partly
by the general character of the last American advice', and by
our reducing stocks—but more particularly by the large
transactious reported at Mauchester, where prices have re-
cently advanoed.'more decidedly—there has bee' an ustually
good demand throughout the week ; all classes of Mayers
have operated freely, and with great oon6deoee ; the whams
established can may be considered moderate under the
circumstances. American description. are fully id.; on some
of the mme saleable of the lower qualities id. to id. dearer.
A very large business has been done in Egyptisa, and price'
bare advanoed fully id. per lb. Brazils have also of.
Tamed about id. on the current qualities of hlsoeice,
I and id. to id. on the better qualities of Penning' and
Mannheim; the latter are very scarce. Borate have
beep is great request. and quotatioos are railed
variously from id. to id. per lb. Tionivelly Madre&
is also id. to id. dearer. A large busioese hoe been dose in
Muds and China; the former at slightly improved rake.
Bengal, are withoutany material alteration. Arrival cot-
ton has beau bought to a very large emetic, at as advance in
most immune' about equal to the rise for cotta' on the
spot. Speculators have taken 3,790 American, 5.30 Permian,
2.270 Maceio, 190 Peruvian. 1,940 Egyptian, 110 Binyrza,
6,350 Surat, 610 Madras, 000 Bengal, and 700 China ; total,
, 16,890 lodes. There are reported for export 19,530 bales,
I viz., 1,980 American, 710 Pernam. 870 Ilaosio, 570 Egyp-
tian, 30 Smyrna, 11:270 Surat. 400 Modus, 1,330 Bengal,
I end 2,279 China. The market to-day copses with • good
de mad, and an upward tendency; probable ad. about
10,000 bales, including 4,000 on speculation and for seport.

COTTON GOODS,— ?demote:6nm, Auctor 21.—We
have had a rather excited market, with a good busineas and
higher prime, both for cloth and yun. The excitement is to
a great extent owing to the rising cotton market, and the
'accessing difficulty there is is buying goods owing to the
mutant efforts of spinners and manufacturers to force up
prime so as to cover the increased oust of cotton. There has
been a good deal of business today in yarns, and the ad-
vance in price wines Tuesday is fully id. per lb. In some
oases (but these are exceptional, and where yarn is of pica.
liar and firet•rate makes) we bear of Id. advenue during the
week. The demand has been for India. China, the Medi-
terranean, and home Undo. Some business has also been
done by the Germans, but as usual they have exhibited •
good deelof caution or timidity, and their purchases have bees
comparatively small. On the other hand, the home trade have
been rather free buyers. In cloth • very large business has
been dune niece Tuesday, though the market his not been
quite so active to-day. The business bas evidently been,
too, for actual shipment, sod not for speculation. The
better acamete from India on Monday, and again yesterday
(brinegiag telegraphic dates to the 29th and 30th July), have
evidently given a farther impetus to the market, sod the
pries. et 31•iseh &Wags hie deemed 3d. per piece ea the

average. For 45-lack, Winch, and wider cloths the advance
has been Gk. per piece. On cloths of this description. of
first-rate make, and seam, a much larger advance Ma
been given, but the caware very exoeptiooal, and ought to
have very ittle Maumee in estimating the state of the
market. One good feature of the market We week has been
that the business has not been confined to a few large
homes, but has been more general than for some time part.
The home trade houses are buying, though not extensively,
but the trade is sound and healthy and more hopeful than it
has been. There has been more or lees demand for all
' markets, and the Greeks who ship to Egypt are buying
more freely ; a result probably of the more plentiful supply Of
' money to that part of the world through the increased man.
hty sent there and its greatly increased price. The influx
of wealth to some other countries through the stoppage of
I the American cotton supply is also gradually producing a
similar result in extending the market for our manufactures
much larger business, it is said, could be done in yarns if
stocks could be found to supply the demand. The market
closes with • cheerful feeling. though no one looks upon the
I present active demand as likely to continue for more than a
very short time.

COLONIAL WOOL SALES.—The third and largest a-
lias of colonial wcol sales of the year commenced on the
16th of July. and was brought to a clout this day. The fresh
arrivals in the interim of last sales amounted to 101,x10
bales, and it was estimated that, in addition, about 5.000
bales of previous arrival@ were in the bands of importer,.
The quantity offered bag been 106,43 bales, but owing to
many wools being twice catalogued, and some sales compri.
dog mecood-hand wools to a very large extent, it is difficult
to define the quantity sold, and bow many are remaining in
first band for the next November sales. During so length-
ened a period it is hardly possible but some variation in
prim would occur ; moreover, u at one period of the series
the Polish-Russian question caused considerable apprehen-
sion, espeeally on the part of the foreigners, that the peace
of the ooutirent was likely to be disturbed, and this would
have had a much more serious effect on prices had not Pie
splendid harvest weather, in countemetioa, given English
buyers 'renamed confidence proapectively for the
home bade. Reviewing the whole of the sales,
we consider previous rates lwere, with some few ex-
ceptional days, mostly fully supported for the first three
weeks. Under the wools, hardly realising former prices,
we acuminate the Emit combing descriptions, as also the
scoured wools of Port PhPlip, of which latter desei:ption
there sem a large quantity. The subsequent progress of the
sales wee marked with increased animatloe on all sides, and
dodo( the last two weeks there was an upward tendency,
and Sydney wool in general advanced lid. ; Van Dianne,
Lend and New Zealand wools, and sound chatty Port Phillip,
were likewise Id. higher. Adelaide wools, in the grease,
for which there had been a good demised throughout at former
rates towards the clore, when but little remained for sale,
also improved somewhat; so that the present series ended
with mach spirit at improved rates, with the exception
of the Port Phillip and Sydney clothing wools in grease.
The system which has been 'looted on the part of some
milling broken to solicit speculative orders to have the
wools so bought, tore-offer in their subsequent sales, if con-
tinued, will bring the London enlonial wool sales (which
hitherto have justly gained the confidence of both the home
and foreign buyers) into dierepute, and will teed to injure, Dot
only the fair trader, but importers io general, as it most
already have done where importers' wools were mach inter.
mixed with those of second-hand. Home few years b.clr,
when the trade complained of the like practice, it was etio-
lated es a s ale that wools, once passed the hammer and sold,
should not be re-offered in the same series, and that all
second-band wools, when catalogued, should be distinctly
lotted apart from first-hand. This was acted op to for some
time and in the interest of importers, manufacturers aid
staplers, this regulation ought to be revived and carried out
strictly.—(From the Circular of Means. Richd. buttes sad
Son.)

OORN.—Cenuirme.D. AUGUST 21.—We had a Rood sap.
ply et wheat, new, ooedition and quality splendid. The
market wee at wt la. lower for red, Is. to 2s. on white—
rrd insides 43e. to 45e.; white, 46e. to 48s. Few samples
of barley offered, not very good. Beaus, no alteration.
LINCOLN, Ammer 21.—A goal supOy of what, prin.
*ally of the new crop, at market today, with a dull
trade, and paxe may be quoted 2a. peLlor;a,lower. Italy
little doing in other article:. Wheat, new, 44a. to
47a. ; old, 46a. ; white, new, 47a. to 50s. • 481
•

LirritroOL, Amusr 21.—We have bad few buyers at
to-day's market, and all eivisca of foreign wheat have been
excerdiegly unsaleable even at a decline of from 2d. to 3d.
per rental on the quotations of Friday last. Floor doll at
a reduction of 6d. per barrel and sack, Indian corn opened
quite strong, with an upward teecenry, but buyers fighting
st y, sellers were subsequently glad to sculpt Tuesday's
prices, which show an improvement of 3d. per quarter on
the intik. Oats are to Id. per bushel cheaper for
I. ish, sad fully as dear for fine Danish, which are cow
a...roe. Oatmeal is down 6d. per load. Beals have ad-
6d. per neuter. Pease and barley steady. The mar-
ket dome depressed.

WAKEFIELD, AUGUST 21.—Nwir wheat was ?a. to 3a.
cheerer thaa on Int Friday. with a steady consumptive
demand. Old wheat was rather lower. Other articles
wen unaltered.
