MARKETS.

COTTON.—Ltvr-iroot., OCT. 21.—Sales of cotton to-
day are estimated at 10,000 bales, of which about 3,000 are
taken on speculation. The miles comprise 150 rernam and
Manahan, at Old. to 71d. ; 2,000 Egyptian, at Old. to
18d.; 1,601) Surat, at 51d. to Cid. Total sales since Thor,-
day, 78,000 bales-4,000 for export and 23,000 on specula-
tion. The imports since Thursday consisted of 12.000 bales.
The market clam % very firmly, and compared with Friday's
rates prices of American are nearly ad. per lb. dearer.
Other sorts light.
MANCIINSTEII, OCT. 21.—The advanced prices of Tues-
day have been fully maintained to-day as well as yesterday,
and prices have a oxidant tendency to hardening in all de-
scriptions of printing cloths, shirting. amidmadapollarns.
The coarser fabrics such as heavy 'domestics, also have
been more easily saleable. Yarns, both in warp awl cop,
arc in great requisition for manufacturer., the home con-
sumption continuing very large, whilst the demand for
India and China is brisk in the counts and qualities suitable
Inc the eastern markets. The Germans are doing a fair
business, though by no means a large one.

MANUFACTURES.—BRADFORD, Oct. 21.—Yarn are
held firm for higher prices, but the manuf.icturers' position
is not such as to enable them to comply with these terms,
and so old orders run out, new ones are not placed on terms
so advantageous to the buyer. Fieces.—The manufacturers
seem generally to be a body of murmurers. To buy cotton
warps and wonted weft, at the prices now demanded by
each producer, puts them into a bad position, for to realise
' prime cost is impossible, and there is no alternative but to
curtail the production, a course which is already begun to
a limited intent. The prices at which Cohourgs have been
sold will not enable oven the closest cutting Lancashire
manufacturers with all their advantages to cover cost, and
this accounts for the comparatively small quantity now
making by thorn for this market. The manufacturers of
Alpacas and tine Orleans are as bad as any, owing to the
immense advance on fine two fold cotton warps, and the
high prices of the raw material.—Bradford Observer.

WOOL.-.—ZELADPORD, Oct. 21.—Tho colonial sales now
progressing in London opened spiritedly, and each succes-
sive day's sale only trnds to confirm the activity of its pre-
decessor. English Wools have not presented any change
sines our last; the holders are firm, and the consumers eat-
barrused at the prices which it commands.-Bradford
Observer.

HOSIERY AND LACE TRADES.—NorrisoRAm,
Oct. 21.—The lace and hoeicry trades may each be now re-
ported in a fair condition, as the generality of manufac-
turers seem well occupied in their wavered businemce.
Yarns used M each trade sell well at full rates, and of spun
silk there appears a scarcity. All hands seem to hate full
employment—Naas Journal.

CORN.-Binfltflouaar, Ocr. 21.-At Gloucester and
Worcester markets, on the 16th, wheat sold slowly a
trifling advance in prier. Barley held for rather I.igher
prices. Fine oats inquired for, and there was more demand
for secondary parcels. Beans and peas unaltered. During
the present week, very few transactions are repotted in the
trade; higher prices are demanded for wheat, but cannot be
obtained. Barley less in request ; and the same remark
applies to oats, beans, and peas. At this day's market there
was a full supply of wheat, and the trade ruled dull, except
for floe new, at barely the currency of this day se'nnight.
Barley maintained its value. Not much doing in oats.

GOLD IN PARLY.—The following is an extract of a
private letter: " I bad almost forgotten to tell you of a
very important discovery of a rich gold mine within about
.50 miles of Lima, near a place called Salinas, four or fire
leagues from Holum, and only one league trom the sea
coast. For the last two or three weeks immense crowds have
been rushing there, both by sea and land, but now the rage
is passing easy, as it is found that the mines ran only be
worked by capitalists, as the gold is found imbedded in hard
quarts, and will hereto be extracted by means of machinery.
Several capitalists are going into the business extensively,
and I have no doubt will do well, for from rnanyos made
it is found that the metals produce somewhere about So
per cent. of gold, besides copper, bronze, and silver. The
mine is ealculatid to be of vast extent, and can be worked
at great silvan e, from its contiguity to the coast, whence
the ore can be ped to Callao, or direct to Europe, as the
Peruviancut have commenced lithe opening of a
small her our the immediate vicinity, which has been
named Port Echeniquo, after our president. It is, they
say, a very good sad safe tittle bay.
