MARKETS.

COTTON.—laysarooL, Oar. 20.—The sales of cotton
to-day are estimated a, 6,000 bales, of which 1,600 for es•
port, and include 400 Perinea and Maranham, at 6jl. to,
616. • 40 Bahia, at std.; 400 Egyptian, at did. to Bd.; and
1,000 Surat, at 314. to 41d. The market closed heavily,
and with irregularity of prices. Compared with Friday's
rates, prices of all kinds are leaning still in the buyer's favour.

COTTON GOODS.-'

Oar. 20.—We can

hardly say that we bays had a market to•day, and the bud-
new done since Thursday has been of the most limited
character. Such orders, indeed, as could he withdrawn
were countermanded by some of our foreign houses imme-
diately it was known that the Bank of England had further
advanced the rates of discount. The dewnwerd course of
prices continues, and the competition for such orders as are
to be had is of a ruinous character. Of course the manu-
facturers with most capital are absorbing the largest share
of such business as may be had, in the prevent state of the
money market. To the producer with only moderate means
the merchant stye " Your offer is very low, I admit, but
your neighbour will supply me with goods at the same
rate, or even lower, and will not trouble me for money."
The demand for Oermaoy will soon be closed by frost, and
the business lately doing on so large a scale for Alexandria
and the Danubian principalities has fallen off very greatly
under the influence of the existing money pressure. Fabrics
suited to India are in large supply, whilst the demand con-
, Snots restricted. In price they are 6d. and 9d. per piece
below the rates current at the beginning of September, and
unless the manufacturers adopt short time and curtail the
'supply, their value must suffer still more seriously. In
both yarn and cloth tLe constant tendency of prices is still
in favour of the buyer.

WOOLLENS.—Liras, OCT. 20.—We have bad a dull
and inanimate market in both the cloth halls this morning.
Thee has been only an indifferent attendance of merchant',
and the tiuns have been principally confined To
mil:tures, beavers, and other winter goods, evidently town
up with. The stock of cloth in the markets is on the in-
crease, but as the manufacturers are generally exercising
considerable prudence, and talk of curtailing their operations,
we do not aspect the supply will long be much in excessof
the demand. Considerable surprise is felt at the little
influence the advance in the rates of discount by the Bank
of England bee bad on the price of wool at the sales now
proceeding in London. An impression was prevaler t among
the tannutecturere that it would recede from 2d. to 3d. per
lb. While the price of the raw material maintains such
comparatively firm rateo,it is pretty certain no very important
alteration can take place in the price of cloth, as we believe
the manufacturers have for some time had difficulty in
obtaining remunerative rates for their goods.
HALIFAX, OCT. 20.—W00l : Last week's prices scarcely
maintained. Wonted and yens are very dull.

EARDWARE.--BIRMSOHAM, Oct. 20.—Trade here is
a shade better than it was tea days ago; the American
orders continue Rood, but the home trade in some branches
his slightly declined, and the foreign orders generally are
somewhat smell. The military gun and sword trades are
both brisk; of bayonets the contractors are supplying the
government with nearly 16,000 monthly. From the district
the reports are that trade is tolerably healthy; the coal
trade is remarkably good; and as respects iron there has
not been any material change; common bars have been
offered at 81. 10c, bat for all good brands primes are firm.
