MARKETS.

COTTON.—Lter.RTOOL, AUGUST 17.—The Dalai of cot-
ton today are estimated at 8,000 bale, and include 1,600
en speculation. The market closes very firmly ; compared
with Friday's rates, prices of low American are J. to id.
per lb. dearer; other qualities Surat 1-16th, and every-
thing else unchanged. The imports since Thursday are
10,0_00 bales.
M•NCIIIISTER, AUGUST 17.—We have had an active
market, ;consequent partly on the hardening tone of the
colt rn market and partly on the better demand which has
sprung up for the foreigu trade. The Germans have teen
increasing their purchases during the last six or eight days,
and have this morning also been very active. Some con-
siderable contracts have consequently been placed in the
hands of spinners and prices have advanced about id. to
id. per lb. Good 20's second water are quoted hid. to
d. ; and 30's water, which have been selling at 90., is
now at an advance. For Bombay and China some large
orders in yarn have been given out, and several houses re-
port very large sales. The fine numbers from Sea Islands
cotton are produced in quantities inadequate to the demand,
more especially sines the Yorkshire houses have been com-
pelled, by the scarcity and dearness of good wools, to seek
the fine strong yarns of this description for mixture with
some of the finer fabrics of that district. The account, from
India have not been favourable to the sale of 40 inch shirt-
ing'', but there has been more demand for long-cloths and
T-cloths, and the prices of these goods are very firm. All
the mills are running full time, and there is as largo a
production at yarn and cloth as there ever was.

WOOLLEN CLOTH.—LEEns, AUGUST 17.—We have
had about an average Tuesday's business done to-day,
though, on the whole, we think the market is showing
symptoms of weakness: a strong impreadon prevails that
goods are getting dear.

WOOL.—HODDERSFIELD, August 17.—The wool trade
is more quiet to-day than last week , prevent prices are con-
sidered by manufacturers too high to warrant them in lay-
ing in heavy stocks.

MANUFACTURES.—HcpuefteriELD, August 17.
We have only • quiet business doing to-day, merchants
appearing to buy very cautiously at present, aml will pro-
bably continue their limited operations until the result of
the harvest is known.

CORN.-Hum., August 17.-Harvest ix now general, and
so far as we can learn, the Wheat in point of quantity " cuts
up" well, but quality will be various, and the yield, as well,
deficient to the very splendid crop of last year. There are
some few complaints of blight, mildew, and sprout, but
they are by no means general or serious. The trade during
the week has been characterised by increased firmness on
the part of holders, but by caution, almost amounting to
inaction, on the part of buyers; so that with a nominal ad-
vance of 2s. per qr. in price asked, the actual business since
Tuesday has been quite inconsiderable. To-day we had a
large supply of Wheat from our own farmers, and only a
small show of foreign samples, the late arrivals being
cleared 'off and less offering from granary ; the
market for both English and foreign must be
quitted Is. to 2s. per qr. dearer, hut very slow sale at the
advance. The late import of ilarley having got pretty well
disposed of, the market is firmer, and in some instances a
trifle dearer. Oats are the turn in favour of the buyer, but
Beans fetch Gd. more money. A good demand for Peas, but
none of fine quality on the market. Linseed main-
tains its value, with but a small supply for the
general market. Cakes still improve, and no fine
foreign remain unsold. No import of foreign Rape-
seed, and Rape Cakes continue scarce and dear. Any
arrivals of Bones would meet ready sale. Present prices:-

Liens, Auousv 17.-The weather since Friday in this
district has been pretty favourable, and to-day is very fine ;
the accounts from the south:are somewhat of a contrary
character, yet we are unable to follow the advance quoted
in Mark-lane ; fresh wheat is in moderate request, at Is.
per quarter over Friday's rates ; but holders are generally
firm at an improvement of Is. to 31. per quarter-thus the
business done is extremely limited. Barley nominally the
same. Beans fully as dear. Oats and other articles un-
altered. Arrivals this week :-Wheat, 4,442 qrs. ; Bar-
ley, 100; Beans, 160; Shelling, 48; Rapeseed, 951.
Livanrom., August 17. - The arrivals since Tues-
day from Ireland and coluitwise are liberal of oats but
light of other articles. From shroud the imports consist of
18,385 quarters of wheat, 5,050 quarters of oats, 7,379
quarters of Indian corn, 1,221 sacks, and 16,009 barrels of
flour. The exports of flour are to a fair extent, but of
other articles trifling. The weather having been fine
during the past three or four days, there has been much
less excitement in our trade, and little business has been
done in either wheat or flour, speculators having for the
moment impended their operations. The advance noted
'on Friday of 3d. to 4d. per 701bs. and 6d. to 9d. per barrel
must therefore be considered nominal. Oats and oatmeal
have met with more attention at late rates. Btani brought
3d. per quarter advance, but barley and peas arc unchanged
in value. Indian corn afloat has met with leis attention,
and the prices of the last week have been barely sup-
ported. This mooting is fine, and reaping is quite general
in this district. At this morning's market there was a fair
fair attendance of town and country dealers, and • good
demand was experienced for wheat and flour, at an advance
since Tuesday lot of 24. to 3d. per 701b5., and Gd. per sack
and barrel, a part of Friday's advance having been lost.
Oats and oatmeal brought fall prices, but the demand was
not active. Beans must be quoted 6d. per qr, higher; but
barley and peas met a slow sale, at late rates. Indian corn
was neglected, and floating cargoes were obtainable oa
rather easier terms. A considerable quantity of Irish new
oats were sold tawney at 2a. 4d, and white 2s. 6d.
to 2s. 6d. per 451 be. New oatmeal 235. Bd. to 21s. 6il. per
2401b5. Arrivals into Liverpool and Runcorn from the
10th to the 16th August, inclusive :-Wheat, 18,385 qrs. ;
Mirky, 810; Malt, 22; Oats, 14,859; Beans, 620; Indian
Corn, 7,379; Oatmeal, 1,836 sacks; Flour 2,109 sacks,
and 16,009 brie. Exports to Ireland :-Wheat, 672 qrs. ;
Indian Corn, 691; Flour, 30 sacks ; 2,440 barrels.
Lyme, August 17.-The weather during the past week
has been very %%favourable for the harvest, and the Corn
which has been carted is by no means in good condition. We
have had • small market to-day, and Wheat 2e. to 3s. per
qr. dearer. Wheat, 611bs. to 631 be., 41s. to 445.; fine, 455.;
white, 52a. Beaus, 335. to 365. per qr. to the growers.
NRWCASTLE, August 17.-With the exception of a slight
shower yesterday the weather has been favourable, and
with • continuance, harvest operation will be in full pro-
gress next week on the early soils. At our market this
morning we had a moderate show of Wheat from the
country, and although the arrivals coastwise were also
trifling, the flacon' of the day operated against large transac-
tions being entered into, bat in the business done an ad-
verse of Is. per qr. was fully established. Coarse brown
Lboalashire red, slightly mixed with Oats, making 41s. to
41s.Si.; fine runs, 445.; whereas superior Nor-
folk mot Suffolk commanded 45e. to 465. per qr.,
chaise Helligenhafen, 435. in retail quantities, and Dental
up to 4k., all weighed 631bs. per bushel. Fresh manes*
tarot nom may be written Is. per sack dearer, with rather
non howlem in the sale of warehoused parcels, in which
ems ridged= in our very limited stocks is being effected.
Ape without inquiry. Grinding Barley had more tone, but
eM Merody be called higher. Malt without change. Bears
sod Pim in slow request. Oats the tura dearer, with rather
ism iiikag.
duissvav, August 17.-The attendance to-day was R-
emind% though the weather was calculated to increase the
attendance, and the farmers' anticipations, and the gloomy
reports from nearly all the corn growers ia this district, u
to the blight end the grown state of the wheat and the
damage of the crop generally by the heavy rains, parti-
cularly the storm on Saturday last in this neighbourhood
induced them toask considerably higher rates for
samples of old Wheat than were
realised at Monday's soon
don market. Some samples fetched 525. per y., and higher
ones were demanded. No new Wheat on offer, and a good
clearance was effected, at an advance of 6s. per qr. Other
sorts of grain met with little attention. There are are also
great complaints with regard to the failure of bean crops
this season. Wheat, 495. to 521. ; Barley, 304. to 335. ;
Oats, 201. to 211. ; Beans, 335. to 405.; Peas, 32a. to 38s.
Per qr.

CATTLE.—SkLISBURT, August;l7.—The supply of cat-
tle thi‘ morning was large, though in number less than last
market, and the quality of the Beasts generally was first
rate ; and the abundance of buyers was also good. Not-
withstanding advanced rates were obtained at yesterday's
London markets, and the demand to-day being brisk, deal-
ers were unable to establish an advance on the terms of this
day se'nnight ; bat a good clearance was effected at late
rates. The supply of Sheep moderately good, but there
being a heavy demand, there was scarcely sufficient to sup-
ply the wants of buyers, and everything was readily dig
piped of at slightly increased rates. Lamb were in exceed-
'ugly short supply, and not equal to the demand, an advance
of 20. to 4d. per stone being readily acceded to. There
was a brisk demand for every description of Calves, and 1
an early clearance was effected. The supply was short.
Pigs were also scantily supplied, and everything was sold
readily at somewhat higher prices. Ox Beef, 9s. to 9s. 6d.
per score; cow and heifer, 7s. to Bs. Down Mutton, 6id.
to 7d. per lb. , teg, &c., fid. to 6}d. Lamb, 7d. Pork,
6td. to 6d. Veal, 6d. to 6d.; camas Veal, 7s. to 7s. Gd.
per wore. Bacon Pigs, 7s. N. to Bs, Porkers, 80. to
Bs. X Stole Pigs, 180. to 260. each.

FIIRTFORD (NORFOLK) FAIR, August 16.—This fair—
the feed in the pastures being so plentiful—was nume-
rously attended. Trade was brisk for every description of
stock, the supply of which was large. Wether Sheep for
fattening sold quickly at full prices. Ewi is hound in tooth
were soon bought up at advanced rates, and the same may
be said of Lambs, the best making Its. to Ms. each; and
owing to the general briskness both Sheep and Lamb. were
all sold by four o'clock. For store Beasts of every descrip-
tion the demand was good, and a very large amount of
business was done at satisfactory rates to the sellers. lo-
cal Cows and Heifers were easy to sell at improved prices.
Mil& Cows were difficult to sell, even at a sacrifice on the
part of the sellers. Good Hones in great demand, at high
prices; aged inferior animals hard to sell at low figures.
Pig trade was good, at former rates. Milk being plentiful,
suckling Calves made more money.
