MARKETS.

COTTON.—Livatroob, Auovirr 26.—The sales at our
market to-day consisted of 8,000 bales, of which speculators
took 2,000. The sides comprise 6.000 American; 7.50
Egyptian, at ed. to 9jd.; 400 Surat, 31d. to 4fd. ,• and 40
Sea Islands, 1941. to 21d. The sales since this day week
amount to 40,000 bales-4,000 for export, and 9,000 on
speculation. Thera has been 26,000 bales imported during
the week. Our market closed with much demand on spe-
culation. Prices of American are extreme. Egyptians
are id. per lb. lower. All other sorts remain unchanged.
id A N cm zerns. A v o oar 26.—The check put upon business
by the largo orders given out reeintly still continues, as
spinners need not recede from the petrel they ask when
they have such orders on hand, and buyers for the present
seem inclined to wait until they can effect purchases on
terms more favourable to themselves. There is conse-
quently inaction in the market from wont of stocks to till
back upon. The home trade have been the main purchasers
today, bat not at higher prices. In the goods market there
is not anything new to report; printing cloths are still in
demand for home use, but for export the amount of busi-
ness dune is limited.

WOOL—BA/km.OlW. August 2G. —There is the Fame
lethargy apparent in this branch of the trade that we have
noticed for some time hack, and the prices sought are too
high to effect sales. The staplers complain that they cannot
its many instances cover costs on their limited transactions.
Noils and broken arc vet" firm, and no stocks on hand.—
Bradford Observer.

MANUFACTURES.--ERADPORD, August 2fi.—Yarne :
From all classes of spinners, whether engaged in spinning
English, colonial, alpaca, or goats' wool, there is the same
uniform answer, that there never was so little margin be-
tween the coat of raw material and yarns. The very high
price of alpaca and mohair, and the comparatively high
price of colonial and English wools, completely abut out
every tittle of profit, and the whole trade is engaged in
doing a largo business, and that too at the very basiest part
of the season, without any remuneration. The con-
sumers fur the home manufacture complain and ray they
are in no position to pay higher prices. The shipping
houses state they arc daily returning orders unexecuted,
their limits being such that they cannot place them, except
in some instances when large sacrifices are made on ready
spun lots. These, we are glad to say, are comparatively
few, and only small quantities, nor are they of regular
spinning, being generally made of bought tops, which are
not so well approved. Fleece : The business doing in the
warehouses continues active, and the manufacturers are to-
lerably well employed, but the prices are very unsatis-
factory.—Bradford Observer.

HOSIERY AND LACE TRADES. NOTTINGHAM,
August''.—Then has been some considerable pnrchases
of plain nets recently made by teeters on speculation, in
consequeoca of the increased and still increasing price of
yarn, but most branches of business are very dull, espe-
cially fancy machine-made goods. Silk laces are meeting
rather better sale. The hosiery trade is quiet just now,
but with a fair prospect of a good business for the coming
season. The price of hosiery yarn is not altered.—Notts
.Journal.

CORM.-Blitumottast, AVOVST 26.-At Gloucester and
Worcester markets on the 21st the wheat trade ruled dull,
at the currency of that day st'nnight, for all except finest
red and white English wheats, which were Is. to 2s. per
quarter dearer. Barley in more demand, but unaltered in
value. Oats maintained their value. Beans and peas Is. per
quarter dearer. During the present week, the weather
having (with the exception of a few light shower.) been
fine, the few transactions reported in wheat are at a decline
of Is. to 2s. per quarter. Barley only taken in retail. Con.
siderable parcels of oats have changed hands, at fully pre-
vious rates. Beans and peas both a good deal inquired for,
and tending upwards. At this day's market there was a
large supply of English wheat, and no progress could be
made in sales without submitting to a reduction of 2s. per
quarter. Barley unaltered in value, with less doing. On
oats the turn was in favour of the buyer. Beans and peas
scarce, and higher. The millers lowered the retail price of
Flour, 31. 4d. per sack. The following arc thequotations :
Wheat, English, white, per bushel of 62 lbs.. Ss. 9d. to

Bntrerot, Avovar 26.-We have experienced a beneficial
change in the weather in this district, and, instead of the
heavy rains which for some time prevailed, we have now
uninterruptedly dry days, during which goodly progress
cut be made in getting in the harvest. This state of things
has had the effect of checking the upward tendency for a
short time observed, and the market has become more quiet
and inactive. Foreign wheat has experienced a decline to
the extent of Is. per quarter upon the currencies of this
day se'nnight. In flour there is not much business doing,
and, following the effect upon wheat, prices are lower' by
about le. per sack for English, and proportionately upon
foreign. For barley there is a more active demand, and a
fair amount of business has been done at our quotations ;
and the same remark will apply to eats. There were seve-
ral samples of the wheat of this year's growth produced
during the day ; some samples were of an inferior kind,
and there was much variation between the qualities of those
exhibited. The print' were:-English wheat, 465. to 525.
per imperial quarter ; foreign, white, 465. to 525. per
4801bs. ; ditto, red, extra fine qualities, 445. to 48a. per
ditto; ditto, fine qualities, 40s. to 435. per ditto; ordi-
nary qualities, 38s. to 40s. per ditto; ditto, hard, 37a. 6d.
to 40s. per ditto. English seconds flour, 325. to 345. per
seek ; United States, &c., sweet, 22e. to 235. per bet.
English and foreign grinding barley, 25a. to 26e. per
4001bs. Devon and Welsh feed oats, 17s. to 18s. per
imperial quarter; Irish white ditto, 17s. Gd. to 18s. 6d.
per 3201b5.; Irish black ditto, 16s. 6d. to 17s. per impe-
rial quarter. English beans, 345. to 38s. per imperial
quarter; foreign ditto, 28s. to 345. per 4801 b. The
arrivals on shipboard for the week have been :-Wheat,
1,044 qrs.; oats, 592 brls. 461 qrs. ; barley, 627 brls.
4 qn.; flour, 4,120 brie. The official return of the corn
inspector gives the following averages :-Wheat, 475. 5,1.;
oats, 17a. Id. ; barley, 255.
Devizes, August 26.-We had a very small supply of
Wheat, of which about one third part was new the old
Wheat was inferior in quality to that pitched lest week.
The new war very indifferent, both in condition and qua-
lity ; indeed, there were only two or three samples of it fit
for millers' use : of these the best belonged to Mr. William
Fowle, of Lavington ; it was nursery Wheat, weighing
12 score 101bc, and was sold at 245. per sack. The next hest
new was gold by Mr. Butler, of Urchfont, at 235.; the infe-
rior new Wheats were offered at 17s. and 18s. per sack.
The trade was very dull; the farmers would not give way
in price, and, as the millers would not buy at the figures
asked, scarcely any business was dose, but what was done
was generally, quality considered,at a trifle less money than
last week ; 10s. per sack for old red was, we believe, the
highest price given. There was nothing doing in Barley ;
and Oats, Beans, and Peas were dull, at lust week's prices.
Wheat, white, per qr., 641, ; best red, 30s. to 635. ;
middling, 455. to bOi. ; inferior, 40s. to 455. Barley,
265. to 321. Oats, 19s. to 2.55. Beau, 325. to 40e. I'eas,
31.. to 365. Flour, fine, 365. to 395. per sack; seconds,
345. to 365.

NIMBI:UT, August 26.—Although we hail today a small
supply of Wheat, the fine weather for the last few days
being favourable to harvest operation., caused the trade to
rule dull, bat old Wheat realised late prices, others dull.
There were several lots of new Wheat on sale, the quality
and condition middling. Barley only in retail demand, one
parcel of middling new fetched Wis. per gr. Oats, Beans,
and Peas stationary.

Uinatuou, August 28.—The supply of Wheat at to-day's
market is *mall; several parcels of new in bad condition,
consequently old is in more demand, and sold readily at last
week's prices. The best price given is 5Ss., the average
price 62a. per qr. New winter Oats, 21s. Rye, 325.

WATERFORD, August 25.—We haus had no arrival of
Wheat since Saturday, but of Indian Corn there has been
a fair impart. Our market continues tolerably firm for
*very article in the trade, at the currency of last week.

EDINBV Rau, August 25.—For the season, we bad rather
a large supply of grain. Wheat was dull at the beginning
of the market, from the high prices asked. Although the
average is less than last week by Ls. 6d. per qr., this may
be accounted for from the quantity of low priced parcels
brought in, as well as from 41 quarters being new ; the top
price of which was 455. per qr., weighing 63S1bs. ; the
lowest only realised 335. 6d., weighing 5911Ess. ; good par-
cels of old may be quoted, therefore, at fully last week's
quotations. There was a read] sale for Barley at higher
prices. Oats about last week a prices. Beans nominal.
Wheat, 335. to 475. Barley, 20s. to 303. 61 Oats, 17s. 4d.
to 245. Deans, 33e. 3d.

GLAsoow, August 25.—At this day's market good qua-
lities of Wheat were held very firmly, but there was little
activity in the demand ; and although there was rather
more general inquiry it did not lead to much business.
American Flour (Sr from plentiful, still buyers sought to
supply themselves rather under the rates current last week.
Oats were offerel 3d. to 6.1. per boll under previous prices,
at which reduction they seemed to attract a little more at-
tention. Barley, Beans, and Peas ruled steady.

CATTLE.—LEena, AUOVST 26.—There were 630 head
of cattle at the fair yesterday, generally of good quality.
Of sheep and lambs there were 2,400. There were nume-
rous buyers and • good market. Beasts sold at frost 6e. 4d.
to 7s. per stone of l6lbs. Sheep realised bid. to 6d., and
lambs 6d. to bid. per lb.
N TWA HE, August 25.—A ♦ery small market to-day ; both
buyers and sellers few in number. I'rirea about the same;
market fiat. There were 183 Sheep, 20 Boasts, and 100
rigs penned.

SALFORD, Auguot 25.—The allow of stock to-day was
good ; but, as there were many buyers, a brisk market was
the consequence, and Beasts were 10a. per head higher, and
Sheep te. to 2. dearer. Very little unsold at the close of
the market.

Eultruuno it, August 2.s.—The supply:of Cattle was large,
there being 261, or 84 less than last week. Bales were made
rather readily. Top price of Beef, Ts. 6d.; current price,
from 6.. ed. to Is.; middling and inferior sorts, from

55. 6d. to foi. per Dutch stone. At the close or the market
a number remained unsold. The supply of Sheep sud
ILambs this morning was 1,593, being 821 fewer than last
week. Sales were very dull, particularly for Sheep, but
last week's prices were maintained. Top price of the hest
Mutton, 51d.; current price, from did. to ; middling
and inferior sorts, from per lb. downwards. Top price
of Lambs, 21s. 61.; current, 15s. to 16s. fur good quality ;
blsekfaced, from Bs. to 121. per head. A good clearance was
effected.
