18N. 3,240 Burst, 1244, to 1.501. ; 600 Egyptian, 17id. to

are
is tors, and export 1,000. The week's import
10,140 bake.

COTTON GOODS.—Maitcnearm JOLT 12. This
market cautioned moderately active, both for cloth
yam, up to Thursday, but since then • rather
change has taken place. The receipt of news from Amtp-
rim implying • reverse to the Federal forces before Rich-
mond, and Dews from Bombay of heavier shipments a/
cotton for this country than had been anticipated, have
caused • pause in the Liverpool cotton market, with a de-
cline in Ourata, and this change in the cotton market has to
some extent reacted upon the Manchester market. In yarns
a rather considerable business was done here in the earlier
part of the week, at an advance on the previous Tuesday of
ld. to 2d. per lb., mostly for the home, continental, sod
Bombay markets; and on cloths manufacturers wends-
mending • rise of Gd. per piece, which resulted
in • moderate business. There is still some
business doing in yarns, chiefly for Germany, at rather full
rates, but generally speaking the markets very quiet to.
day Yarns are rather Name, however, so that prices are
tolerably steady. For cloth there is very little dalm, sad
it should be borne in mind that • very large pa:porta= of
what has been done during the last fortnight has bees oa
specolatioo, • very small proportion of the sales having
been for consumption. Prices are firm, but speculators is
cloth (amongst whom are earns Liverpool cotton merchants
as well as Leoceabire manufacturers) appear unwilling for
the present to operate further, though they are disposed to
hold rather firmly what they have. Some large mansdac-
toren and spinners in Manchester and in other parts of the
district are clewing their mills this week, discouraged by the
perplexing state of the market during the late considerable
rhea/ cotton, and the losses involved to all who have to
supply themselves with the raw material at its present high
rates.

WOOLLEN CLOTH.—Lxina, JULY 12.—There was a
fair attendance of buyers in the market to-day, and fully an
average amount of business transacted. In the coloured
hall several lots of tweeds and fancy ecetiegs met with a
ready sale. There was also more doing iu the white market ;
we noticed a better demand for plain cloths, and a few leas
of witneys and elysiens also changed hands. There is so
alteration in rates to speak of. There have been one or two
Canadians in the town to-day, and we understand one of
them has operated somewhat extensively. Several of them
gentlemen are expected in Leeds in the course of a day or
two.

BAlLDWARE.—Briumituti, JULY 12.—The general
trade of this town is quiet. Such is the character of the iv
ports given by all the leading manufacturers, but notwith-
standing this there is a good amount of business do*,
though it is not altogether of a satidactory character. The
home trade is fiat, and likly to remain 'Quail after harvest ;
in the foreign department there is rather more animation.
The new American tariff will operate as • further check
upon trade in this town and the district. The new scale of
duties will embrace all the leading articles exported than
this quarter, but those upon which the effect will be most
serious are chains, anvils, vices, edge-tools, wood-screws,
and other articles in heavy hardware. It is most likely that
for a time the export of these articles will cease, bat whoa
stocks are exhausted the demand will be resumed,
there being certain articles which the American masa
make to compete with the English manufacturer. lately
the American orders have been larger than for many
months previously ; with the shipment of these the trade
will no doubt be stopped for • time, and the immediate
1 result will be au advance in the prim of all hardware goods
in the American markets. It is the opinion of the mar-
chanta here that as soon as the war is over the additional
duties imposed by the new tariff will be repealed. mad the
fade left at least not higher than was fixed by the Month
fus,
tariff. Tho ironnmaters' meeting forfthe current tarter
concludedat Dudley to-day. The attendance 11/111
and not much business transacted, but the ini
'noticeable at the Birmingham meeting was y maim-
tainsd.

effect of drabs sales ; but on last week's prices being

holders were willing to accept previous prices, but whet,
any advance was demanded millers declined to operm,
Floor in steady request, at about previous quotation..
Grinding barley being held above the views of buyers LA

OXFORD, JOLT 12.—The supply of wheat was rather

prima ; this the latter would not accede to, and in conse-
quence but few odes were effected at prices much the saes
as the week previous. Nothing doing in malting barley,
and very little of any other on offer. Good beans were
wares, and fully realised former quotations. Gets were is
request, and but few samples showing. Hog peas about the
