LACE AND HOSIERY.
Tke.lsoe trigs remains set Oahe pm. 1 hers le literally no
business doing this week, but hopes are noofidently enter-
tained of a risomption to tome extent during the nest. We
regret to hear that considerable dissatisfaction has occurred
wonget the chief lace exhibitors from Nottingham in re.
fcrence to the arrangement if their articles at the Paris
Exhibition. We cannot at present enter into particulate,
but have been assured that the arrangement is partial,
disordered, and incomplete to a meet injurious and
apparentl invidious extent, for whilst ft was agreed
that • joist representation should be made of the
Nottingham lam trade at the Paris Universal Ex-
positien, matters have so fallen out that the
goods of one firm have been made to occupy the
whole of one side of • ease and the greater part of another,
whereas as many as ninety articles emanating front a eon-
pods' firm &really to be band dispersed here and them,soma
lof them indeed not put forward toe exhibition at all, and
others plated where they cannot be seen. There is a went
lof fairness in this, to which we direct attention, because
we cannot help thinking that it would do this class of the
Exposition no berm to, see its arrangement still re-modelled ;
the more especially es we learn that decisions have just been
some to by the jury, before whom the whole goods of each
competitor have passed in detail, which will put the pre-
sent arrangements rather to the blush. A great deal ta to
be learned nevertheless from a visit to the Exposition.
We learn that the black leen alone would demand
four whole days' quiet study; and that even from the
dresses of the fair Parkiennes, hints are abundantly
famished to our enterprising manufacturers, who see
cushion-asede laces which they are capable of imitating
with the utmost exactness, of from 6 to 12 inches deep, now
generally worn by the bell. monde of Pali,, to the exclusion
eves of fringes, which last mama, and to • less extent also
this, had made some inroads on the use of lam.
The Hosiery Trade, without having much to bort, has
nothing to complain of, being eertaioly better than it ha.
been for the last few week.. The animation is due to the
recent good news from the asst of war, to the h t
prospeete new is process of realisation, particularly the
abundant Canadian harvest, and to the relaxation in money
matters slam last week. There is no alteration in the price
of materials. Yarns probably were never stiffer.—N aging.

COTTON GOODS.—MarrOwnavin. ADOIIIIT
There is a fair business by shippen to India and the Con-
tinent, and the fine weather exercises a good influence on
the market, though so long as the present high rates for
corn are maintained we are not likely to @aperient* much
improvement la home demand for cloths. Prices an firm,
but aot higher.

WOOL.--BLOPORD, AUGUST 30.—We have had a very
good maudlin.* at market this morning, and an animated
business is doing. Wool is steady, at former prime. There
is decidedly more buinees doing in yams, and prices are
rather higher. The piece trade is pretty brisk, both for
home orders and America.

CORN.—Yam:maims, Auonst 20.—We had a con-
Unmans of the unfavourable weather noted in oar last
report up to Tsesday morning, since which period ‘t has'
been floe, and there is now every appearance of suitable
weather for harvest operation& The reports from other
Imarkets have had their influent* on the brads here, and
freak descriptions of flour, being scarce, sold freely is the
early part of the week at an advance of 3s. per sack ; the
demand, however, having subsequently moderated. Other
articles have also met a better sale, with a tendency to im-
prove is value. The arrivals from abroad into Liverpool
are large of Indian corn, and fair of wheat, beans, and flour.
From other sources the supplies are trifling. There was a
moderate attendance at this morning's market. Wheat
advanced 6d. to 9d. per 70th.., but the demand was not
active. Flour wee only in limited request, and the extreme
prices of the beginning of the week were scarcely obtain•
able. Oats and oatmeal were more inquired for, and the
former realised Id. to 2d. per 45th.. mere than on this day
se'nnight. Beene, both English and foreign, met • fns sale
at Is. to 2s. per quarter advance.
BIRMINGHAM, AuGusT 30.—At Gloucester market, on
the 26th, Bsgtish and foreign wheat met a free sale, at an
advance of Es. per quarter: at Worcester, the same day, a
similar improvement was realised, with a lees active demand.
Barley 1.. per quarter dearer; oats and betas unaltered.
During the present week the return of fine weather has
checked the speculative feeling in the wheat trade, and al-
though 4s. per quarter more has been paid, it was only to a
moderate @meat. Oats rather higher. No change in barley
or beans. At Wolverhampton yesterday the attendance of
farmers and supply of wheat were both small: the high
prices asked prevented business, and very little wheat we•
sold, at a rise of 3s. to 4s. per quarter. The millers advanced
the retail price of flour 3s. 4d. per sack. At this day's
market there was a fair supply of both sew and old wheat,
and the trade closed dull, at ..s. to fie. per quarter over the
currency of this day se'nnight. The millers have not risen
the retail pries of flour. Barley tending upwards. Oats
and beans held for rather more money.

Dimas, Aro. 30.—The farmers being fully occupied
In harvest operations, we had, u usual at this season, a
small supply of wheat, for which a considerable advance
was asked ; this caused trade to be flat, and business pro-
ceeded slowly, 21. per qr. being the greatest advance that
could be obtained. There were five lots of new wheat; the
condition was generally bad ; one lot was, however, sold at
40s. per sack. Nothing doing in barley. For peas. oats,
and beaus the demand was good. Wheat, best red, 795. to
825.; middling, 681. to 795.; inferior, 675. to 681. Barley,
34e. to 38e. Oats, 28s. to 345. Beaus, 48s. to 521. Peas,
43.. to 48s. Flour, fine per sack, 661. to 615.; seconds, 635.
to 66,.

Nitscann, Auo. 29.—At our market to-day there was a
' liberal show of wheat, although but thinly attended. Basi-
-1 nese was proportionate in extent. New wheat was offering,
land for samples generally an advance of 51. per qr. was freely
' paid. Spring corn was more inquired for, and an advance
of Iv obtained. The weather has been highly favourable,
aad harvest operations are progressing rapidly. This appears
scarcely to accord with the advance in prices, hut rumours
of a d. ficiency probably affected the market. The following
are the present quotations of grain: Wheat (new white),
from 79e. to 80s.; old, 80s. to 81s.; new red, 75e. to 78s. ;
old, 755. to 781. Barley, 345. to 37e. Oats, 30s. to 355.
Beans, 455. to 60s. per quarter.

Nitwit:ay, Atm. 30.—We are only moderately supplied
with wheat this day, for which high prices were demanded,
which checked business, and an advance of from 29. to 39.
only could be established. We have very little new at
market, although we have had a fine week for ,harvest ope-
ration.. A retail trade only inswing corn.
trxmaiDos, Aro. 30.—The torn trade is active to d.y.
Wheat sells for 4s. to 69. per qr. higher than last week. The
samples of new are not of flee quality, but, stocks on hand
being slight, the demand is brisk. Barley, oats, and
beans are Is. per qr. higher in value.

W AAAAA 01D, AVO. 29.—We have had a fair arrival of
grain coastwise since Saturday, but only a limited supply
from abroad. From farmers the deliveries have been most
unimportant. The upward movement in the English
markets has been quickly mponded to here, and we note
wheat 2s. to 35., and ladian corn le. per barrel dearer than
cc Saturday last. Barley the turn higher, and oats saleable
at an advice* of 3d. to 6d. per barrel. Flour worth 2s. par
sack more money.
EDINBURGH, Acct. 29 —We had in the market to-day
346 qrs. wheat, 266 qrs. barley, 618 qrs. oats, and 70 qrs.
beans. There were sold—Wheat, 344 qrs. ; barley, 167 ;
oats, 6,52 ; ant. beans, 36. '1 he supply of grain to day was
small. With the exception of beans there was a good demand
for all sorts. Sales were ready in consequence, and prices
hotter, particularly for wheat, which was oonclderably up.
The sew barley to-day washed in oolour. As compared with
last week—Wheat, fia. up on top, sad 4.. 10d. up on the
average. Barley up le. 6d. ea the top, and 61. up on the
average. Oats up 4d. on the top, and 2d. up en the average.
