MARKETS.

COTTON.—LITIRPOOL, SEPT. 25.—At OUT Market
this day the ales were estimated at 7,000 bales, 600 of
which were for export sad 1,000 on speculation. The
gales comprise 2.50 Egyptian, at Gia. to 7id. ; 500 Surat,
at 3ld. to ad. Imports since Thursday, 12,000 bales. The
market clam firmly, and, compared with Friday's rata,
all kinds remain unchanged.

MANCHE/Tilt, Beer. 23.—We have had • rather quieter
market for yarns, but the I trip business already placed for
future delivery icier prices quite Linn, except in warps and
wefts under No. 30 a. These last descriptions of twist are
rather easier in consequence of the continued depression in
the heavier kinds of domestics, which at the comparatively
high price of the yarns from which they are made, must
soon have led to a positive discouragement of their mane.
facture, and a stoppage of looms. The higher numbers of
twist, and especially those made from the best chines of
cotton continue very firm, and India mule yarn also retain*
the advance of 14. per lb. generally sought at the com-
mencement of the week, on the arrival of the Overland
Mail. There is less doing for yarn for Germany, Italy, and
the Levant. In cloth there is still a brisk demand, and for
36-inch shirtinp it has increased to an exam upon the pro-
duction. A good deal of the orders recently placed for
printers are also for fabrics which have Jet to come from
the loom. For 40.ineh shirting, of good quality there is
still a large business for printers, whilst the lighter fabrics
of this description have rather improved in value since the
arrival of the Overland Mail. The market on the whole,
therefore, may be regarded as brisk and healthy, with
prices generally very steady.

WOOL.—Losnovt, Barr. 25.—The foreign wool market
is in a very inactive state. The stock on hand is very small,
and the importations from Oermany are getting leu and
less every week. The stock of colonial wools, including
Cape, amount to about 33,000 bales, and at the October
sales it is expected that about 40,000 will be offered.
Prices are very firm, snd if any demand were to spring up
must improve.

WOOLLEN CLOTH.—Lerns, SEPT. 25.—We have no
change to report in the staple trade of this town. There
has been a good business done in tbe markets to-day, and a
fair trade is doing in the warehouses.

HARDWABE.—B t trionan,Seer. 2;.—The general
trade of the town continues to improve, and fewer com-
plaints are heard from the manufacturers, although there
is no good reason for supposing thst the orders arc at all
accumulating in hand. On the contrary, they seem to be
just sufficient to keep the manufacturers working tolerably
fall time, and very few atechanice are out of employ. The
last issue of the Board of Trade returns present (as their
three predecessors have done) corroborative evidence of that
depression in the hardware trade which has been reported
in the Express for several months. The decreased
value of the exported hardware end cutlery for the month
ending August 5, is no less than 19,4321., very nearly
ten per cent. of the entire amount of the ex-
ports under this bead. In metals generally the exports
have greatly increased, especially as regards iron and copper :
in the former the Increase has been about 20 per cent., the
gross sum in esters of the month, in 18.51, being no less
than 117,5954, and in copper the excess is 16,1521. ; bat in
estimating this latter item, regard must be isaid to the
advance which his taken place in the price. The foreign
demand for tin-plates appears to be greatly increasing, the
value of the exports for the month exceeding that of last
year by upwards of 4,0001. There are, at the present time,
very large orders in the hands of the manufacturers of tin-
plates,' the demand for which is very rapidly increasing,
but the present price is said to be unremunera-
tire to the producer, and an advance will, before
very long, take place. Notwithstanding the very recent
rise in the price of iron, which may scarcely even yet be
regarded as a fait accompli, we learn with surprise and
regret that another advance of no less than 20s. per ton is
talked of amongst the magnates of the trade; we have no
hesitation in saying, that anything more mischievous than
such a proceeding, or one more calculated to injure the
prospects of the iron trade, could not be conceived. Heartily
glad to see the trade emerge from that depression which
ha so long hung over it, we should sincerely regret if a
return to something like a healthful state of things were
jeopardised by any such ill-judged proceeding as that
of an attempt to further screw up prices, be-
fore thus has been sufficient time to ascertain whether
the prices consequent on the first advance are firmly
maintained. A second advance before ChriAmas would
moat seriously injure, if it did not absolutely cripple, some
of the most important trades of the district. The demand
for bar-iron continues very large, and stocks are small.
For pigs, rods, and hoops the orders are daily pouring in ;
for bars especially, for the American and Indian railways.
The largest ironmasten are said to be cautious in accepting
orders,.even at the advanced price already agreed upon.
The decree of the Spanish government, by which the duties
on hardwares, manufactures, and other articles are re-
duced, will, so far as regards the first, be a very great boon
to the manufacturing interest of this town, the'
Spanish trade having been for • long period
most valuable, and for the last few years especially
it has materially improved. In hardware and miscellaneous
articles the following changes are made:—Plain buttons,
metal, horn, pasteboard, covered, and the materials for co-
vering, paid 6.25 and 7.60 reale per lb., according to the
flag ; they are henceforth to pay 2 and 2.40 reals. Tor-
toiseshell, ivory, mother-o'-pearl, and all other buttons not
included in the preceding, and those with letters, arms
&c., which were previously included in the same elm;
with plain buttons, are to pay 4 and 4.80 reals per lb. in-
stead of 6.25 and 7.60. Watch chains of steel iron, var-
nished metals, So., duty reduced from 12 and 14.40 reale per
dozen to 6 and 7 20 reale per down ; ditto, gilt nr plated,
from 24 and 28.80 reels to 12.20 and 15.25. Gilt articles of
all kinds (plague de ore lahrado), duty reduced from 7.60
and 9 reale too and 4.80 teals. Clasps, plated or unplated,
with their wrappers or card boxes, duty reduced from 6 and
7.20 reale per lb. to 3 and 3.60 reals. In the article of
knives and forks of all kinds—steel, brass, ivory, or plated,
there is • proportionate reduction. Bram, in common hard-
ware, not varnished or gilt, reduced from 6 and 6 reale to
4 and 4.90 real per lb ; ditto, gilt or varnished, in such
articles as basins or hisser°. (a new class in the tariff), 6
and 1.20 reals per lb. Gun barrels, double, reduced from
7,5 and 90 reale each to 40 and 48 reels; pistol barrels,
double, from 45 and 64 to 24 and 28.80 real each. In gun
barrels, single, there is a like reduction; and pistol bar-
ngs, single, are reduced from 30 to 18 and 21.60 reels
earth. In all kinds of pistols and fowling-pieces there is a
esnesponding redaction, such as will give a very great ins-
tito the trade. This revision in its commercial tariff
e Spanish government ia an example which will, it I.
, be speedily followed by other states, tor un-
btedly move made in that direction has led
to the most advantageous results.

CORN.—CANDZIDOT, Sept. 2.B.—Wis have had a very
dull nuke to-day, and priors were tither lower for all

CAILLIBLZ, Sept. 25.—There was a liberal supply of grain
at our market to-day, particularly Wheat, the quality of
which is very good. The demand lively, at prices much the
ease u last week.

COLCHESTER. Sept. 25.—A good supply of Wheat, Bar-
ley, Peas and Beaus. The former met with a slow sale, at
barely late prime, except for picked samples. Malting
Barley maintained its value ; inferior could be bought on
rather easier terms. Beans and Peas la. cheaper.
OLOTICIIITBI, Sept. 25.—The attendance at our market
this day was moderate, our largest annual fair being held
' next week. The Wheat trade was steady at last week's
prices, both for English and foreign, with a moderate
amount of business. Barley without change, in either
malting or grindiug sorts. The supply of Beans does not
increase. Good Oats maintain their value. Imports of the
week ending Sept. 23:—Oat., 1,871 qrs.
- ---•- • • • •

GUILDFORD, Sept. 25-Wheat was in large supply, and
met with a much more extensive demand than of late. The
inferior runs gold at from 28s. to 355., picked wimples real-
ising 445. to 50s. ; old brought 60s. to 565., which prices are
fully equal to those current last market day. Rye and
Tares in demand ; the latter, Bd. to Is. per bush. cheaper.
RERTFUED, Sept. 26.-The supply of bole old and new
Wheat weh quite equal to the demand, and all descriptions
ruled dull, at barely so good prices. Of Barley there was
more offering, last week's prices being fully supported.
Oats Peas, and Beans sold at fully as much money. Wheat,
from 20s. to 234. per load. Barley, 245. to 335. per qr. Oats,
17s. to 245. Peas, 20e. to 23a. per load. Beans, 17e. to 2L.
Tares, 225. to 265. Rye, 18s. to 21s.
SIAXCHESTER, SEPT. 26. - The trade, although not
active, has continued generally steady throughout the
week, and the demand for choice English flour and new
oatmeal being quite equal to the supply, previous prices
were maintained for both articles. The imports from Ire-
land into Liverpool consist only of moderate quantities of
oats and oatmeal, and the supplies coastwise are extremely
light. Front abroad, however, the arrivals of wheat and
flour are liberal, and tolerably fair of oats, beans, and In-
dian corn. At our market this morning the best descrip-
tions of wheat supported the currency of this day se.anight
but inferior kinds were rather lower. In flour no materiel
range was apparent. Oats ruled firm et late rates, whilst
ew oatmeal, being in scanty supply, brought full prices.
NORWICH, Sept. 25.-There was a fair supply of Wheat
at our market the day, both old and new ; of the former,
a larger quantity thus is usual for the season, proving that
harvest of 1861 must have been a productive one. The
condition of the now is very inferior, but a few fine tots
that were offered commanded extreme prices, while new
were dull sale at late rates. Old was easier tl purchase ;
some large lots changed hands at 435. for 83Ibs. per bushel.
Flour trade arm, and no change in value. Barley trade
=all at present; condition poor, and only middling
in quality. A great many samples are sprouted
more or less. Beans and Peas command very little netice,
and former rates are difficult to obtain. Oats were • large
offer, fair demand; price the turn lower. Wheat,
old, white, 465. 48e per qr. ; new, 40s. to 44*.; old, red,
425. to 431. ; new, 30s. to 38s. Barley, malting, 28a. t 0315.;

ports& rod, XL to No. ; Da. to ;

flat, 831b5., up to 39e. and 40a. per qr. Barley fully le.:per
qr. lower. No alteration in the velue of (lets or Beane.

Mums°, Sept. 26.—We have bad a very large supply
of Wheat to-day, by far the greater portion new. and in
had condition ; it we, much neglected, although otf.red at
low prices. Old, and Bret•rate samples of new, sold readily,
at late prices. But little English Bailey was exhibited for
sale ;it made from 28e. to 32.. Beans, Peas, and Oats were
ia very scanty supply.

Wiaaaca,Sepi.2s.—We are well supplied with new
Wheat and Oats to day; the wheat is of various quality,
ruling is price from 275. to 42a. Of Oats the quality is
equally various, weighing from to 401 b.. a bushel,
much weathered, and in very bad condition. The best dry
Wheat is fully 1.. dearer, whilst the good useful runs are
in demand at last week's prices. For Oats the trade is very
dull, even for the best, and for the inferior hardly a price
can be named.

WOIiCTATZR, Sept. 25.—Our market to-day wu again
wall supplied with Wheat, and the currency of this day
u'unight was firmly maintained for all descriptions. Bar-
ley unaltered, but less in request. Old Oats found buyers
at preview rates, new, 6d. to Is. per qr. lower. Beans, Is.
per qr. higher, and l'eas very scarce.

Yonk, Sept. 25.—We are fairly supplied with grain at
our market this day. Wheat has met a dull sale, but we
make no alteration in our quotations. Bark), of fine
malting quality, is unaltered in value, but all other qualities
are Is. tots. per qr. lower. Oats Is. per qr. lower, but few
offering. In other articles no alteration. Prices : Wkeat,
white, 445. to 48s. per imperial qr. ' • red, 355. to 425. Barley,

335. per sack of 2.901b5.

Deattx, SEPT. 24.—There wan rather a better supply of
new grain at market to-day, except of rapeseed, which'
grain advanced Is. per barrel. Other articles met a steady 1
demand at fully the currencies of Tuesday, except the
lower qualities of wheat and oats, which were scarcely so
deer. Old foreign wheat and Indian corn aro held firmly.

COUIL, Sept. 24.—The foreign Wheat trade is quiet, but
holders are firm in their demands, the current rates being
for Marianople 245., Ohirka 235. 61., Polish Odessa 225. to
224. 32., Galata 225. 6d., Ibrail 20s. to 21c, and Eryptian
21s. per barrel. The latter is held at a disproportionately
high rate occasioned by the lag .deices from Alreandria,
stating that a rumour was very general that the Piths was
about to issue a prohibition to the exporter any more Wheat
from his territories. There have been large arrival.
since this day se'nnight at Queenstown of grain laden
Tenets for orders, say 22 with Wheat, and 43
with Indian Corn ; and at Falmouth 26, mostly
Wheat, have also arrived the great proportion of
this fleet has been sold already, and consequently priers
have not been affected by it here. During the week
8,930 qrs. Indian Corn, and 8,380 qrs. Wheat have been
entered at the custom-house—in the fanner article rather
more Manua* has been passing at previous rates, say
7/. 2s. 641. to 71. 51. fur Ibrail and Galatz. Flour steady,
with a fair consumptive demand. Potatoes fetch such a
high price that coarse Flour and Indian Corn are more
sought for.
WATERFORD, Sept. 2.5.—0ur market his been tolerably
supplied with Wheat and Oats during the week; but the
delivery of Barley coetinues very trifling. From abroad
we have had liberal arrivals both of Wheat and Indian
Corn. The trade has been steady for all articles, and the
prices of Saturday last have been fully maintained. At to•
day's market there was a large supply of Wheat, and the
condition being good, farmers readly obtained 2,1. to 3d.
per barrel over the currency of this day se'nnight for best
samples; secondary runs were also the turn dearer. Oats, of
which there was a fair quantity on offer, met a quick sole
at unaltered rates. The show of Barley was very small, and
we repeat our quotations for grinding, u well as malting
ualities. We have had a steady, but not active demand
for foreign Wheat and Indian Corn, without any variation
in prices. Flour very firm, Imports this week : Wheat,
3,700 qrs. • Indian Corn, 7,675. Exports this week
Wheat, 205 brit.; Barley, 151; Oats, 8,888; Flour, 180
sacks ; Oatmeal, 220 ewts.

CATTLE.—CIIIIITIMY (SURREY) F. Sept. 25.—We
bad but a short supply of grazing stock at this fair to-day,
with an unusually brisk demand ; conscluently, every
head was sold by two o'clock, at very full prices. The Pig
trade was active, at improved terms for good stores; small
porkers al-o sold readily, at es. per stone. Cart Horses in
good demand at high:prices ; Cart Colts scarce ; of those of-
fered, many of them made nearly 40/..euh. Sucking Calves,
24a. to 34e. each.
