COTTON.—LnimpooL, Avows? 12.—The cotton market
has again been unfavourably affected by the unsettled pre.
too at Ramey, and has bermes very irregular, with a decline
in semi Matinees of about id. per lb., although, on the
whole without preemie to sill, sod yesterday, when it was
known no further rise in the rate of discount had taken
place, there gnomes deposition I. bay, soda slightly firmer
tooe. American has been an fair deemed, but very freely
supplied, and prices have given way about id. per
.lb. In
Sea Island the business continues limited, but prams are
unchanged. The stock of this deicriptiou has slightly in-
creased. In Brasil, Bahia and Racer:oar* without change ;
other descrirtioes have fallen about id. per lb. For Egyp-
tian there bee been a fair loquiry, bat freely
met by holders, and last weeks quotatious are
barely maintained, particularly in the descriptions
between middling and fair. Boyne has bees in
limited request, at a reduction of id. to id. per lb., chiefly
in the medium and lower qualities. For Fest India the
demand has been on a limited scale, and with a better sup-
ply on the market a partial decline of id. per lb. has been
outimi&ted to. China has been dull, aod has declined id. to
id. per lb. Speculators have taken during the week 4,230
bales, exporters 8,830 bales, and the trade 21,960 bales of
all kinds. We have had • good demand to-day with a firm
market. The sales are 10,000 bales, of which 3,000 are for
export sod speculation. The following are the official quo-
tations :—Fair Orleans, 320. ; middling, 300.; fair Mobile,
310. ; middling, 300. ; Uplands, 310. ; mtldlmg.3od.

OCYTTON GOODS.—MAicevsrm AUGMIT 12. —The
fine remedy entertained at a dearer mosey market having
been to some extent dispelled we have bad a more cheerful
feeling, both in the yarn and cloth markets. Still, °sly a
very small amount of business has bean done in shipping
yarns. A good many offers have been made, but at prices
too low for acceptance. The substance of private telegrams
from hale were in circulation on the Rachasge, giving
rather more favourable accounts of business there. The
bites from Bombay were to the 24th July, when shirtinge
were 3d. per piece higher : cotton, 20 rupees lower. Ship-
ments of cotton for the fortnight, 56,000. Exchange,
2s. lid. The dates from Calcutta were to the Zhd, when
cloth had advanced 6d. per pace, mid yams were dull at
O'd. decline. An improvement bad been expected therein
response to the &driese from this side, and the news by these
telegrams is hardly go satisfactory as was especial. It had,
consequently, very little effect on the yarn market. Busi-
ness in yarns for shipping claw quiet, but with a better
(Whig. For home trade yarns there has been rather more
inquiry, and rather more business has been effected, but
there is not much improvement u prices. The same ins.
provemeet in feeling extends to the cloth market. but it
has not been accompanied with much disposition to an
increase of business. Buyers still abstain a good deal from
making offers, and the actual amount of business done to-
day has been small. There is no weakness among manu-
facturers, who adhere very firmly to their quotations, and
continue to bold their own pretty steadily. U anything,
they seem to have more eooficleear than for some time
past. The India advice@ bare not led to business, and
seem to have fallen as flatly on the cloth all on the yarn
market.

43ORN.—CifiLlIeVOID, AUGUST 12.—With the exception
of mem heavy showers on the 9th inst., the weather has
been very flee during the put week, sad a lugs breadth of
hod will be cleared of oom in • day or two. There was a
small attendance at to-day's market, sad • small supply of
wheat. A fair proportion of Dew ofieriog, the quality of
which was various, omelitioe generally good. High prices
were asked, which checked bushier. Wheat, white, 46a.
to 48a ; red, 425. to 44/. _ _ _

LINCOLN. Aram 12.—We bare bad • fair supply of
wheat offering, and • quiet trade at hat week's prior.
Very little doing in other articles. Wheat. red, 41s. to 43..;
white, 445. to 475. The farmer are now folly reared is
harvest operations; • good quantity has bees out and some
little carted. It is almost too soon to speak of the result.
but an average yield is expected as regards bath quality sod
quantity.
Lrrcuroot, Amities 12.—We bare bad only eery few
buyers of wheat at today's market, and holders not
being disposed to make • pester reduction than ld. per
ceotal on the week, business has hese quite retail. Flour
is only saleable in small parcels at • decline of 3d. to 13d.
per banel and sack. Indian cent is checked by the high
prices asked, mixed American being held for an advance
of la. 3d. per quarter, and other descriptioos fully 6.1. as
compared with Friday last. Oats slow of male at previous
rates. Oatmeal also in the same portion; some sew Irish
sold at 265., quality much below hut year's. &WM* piss.
and barley each command very full rates. Market doses
without animation.

WA.LIFEILD, AEOCIII 12.—W heat meets a Mandy con-
sumptive demand, and lost wook's prices are firmly main-
tained. Spring corn in fair reqmot, at lull rates. Average
