MARKETS.

SUGAR.—The activity which prevailed during the
whole of August has continued during thrpast month, and
we have again to notice a most rapid advance in prices. Of
this the palsy and good and fine grocery qualities, from their
relative cheapness, have partaken more particularly ; but
all descriptions have sold very readily, and quotations are
4e. to to. higher than on the let ultimo ; at the close of the
month there is not gait* too much spirit, but holders exhibit
great Argonne. The advance in the value of sugar has been
from the lowest point nearly 10e. per cwt. on brown sorts,
and it now becomes important to inquire whether the pre-
sent high prWal will se maintained ; whether, in fact, the
causes w have given rise to them have the elements of
perwoeaa or are gaudy exceptional in their character,
hf.T question necessarily resolves itself into one of supply
and demand, sad that the latter is at present in este* of
the former, admits of no doubt. Can the supply then be
speedily learesaed ? We believe not to any important
extent during the coming season, as the advance in prices
has *me too to in the year to stimulate production ; and
in those countries in which the latter is dependent on slave
labour it calm* for a considerable period be ineresod at all.
There is, at the game time, a marked falling off in the pro-
duction of beetroot sugar in France; the lionitna• recently
published the returns of the " produce and consumption of
beetroot sugar sin* the commencement of the season,"
from which it applies that there were 208 mann-
['stories in activity ou the let of September lest,
or 96 lass than at the corresponding date of 1864.
The auger manufactured, including 7,870,605 kilogrammes
lying over sines last year, amounted to 62,902,878
kilogrammes, showing a diminution of 32,922,449
kilogrammes, sad that NM for coosomption or deposited in
the gintesaaset tag sterns to 46,467,189, or 676,122 less
this se the let tine, 1854. It seems to be the policy
of the pelmet dare* Miester and encourage the peodue-
tion of wheat retest Ohne of sugar, and we may therefore
look for kgrastual reeessins of the differential duties now
levied la ifeille en Maw eats sugar, which will load te a
much target esesse=e side latter in that country. The
deliveries* the II Weeds= continue to be most satis-
factory, although the appereat increase, as exhibited by the
quantities" duty paid," is much less than it was; then
hes, however, bees a most excellent trait season. In Wor-
cestershire the plum crop has been larger than in arty year
sin* 1838, and we may therefore expect that, in spite of the
enhanced value, the eouneoption will at least keep folly up
to that of last year, and probably slightly exceed it. In
Continental steuatries, it may be somewhat checked by the
existing high prices, but so far this year it 0111 been going en
steadily. la the Ilalted Stator, where the soasumptios of
sugar is VI large as in this country, we do not anticipate any
felling off, as the rise of Id. per lb. is not calculated to
prods* nob an effect among • population so well paid es,
are their labouriagtlasses. On the whole, then, we think
that it would be sea to reckon upon the maintenance of the
new goals of prices which has been **bashed, although
some few month hence, when the bulk of the Mauritius
crop soma to band, there may be a slight decline from the
present rates. The course of the market in the interim
must, se we remarked last month, mainly depend upon the
tenacity of boldest, who with so small a stock on band are in
a position to troatrol it —From Messrs. Trams. and

COTTON GOODS.

li•xcnsavan. our. 2 —The diecouragiog accounts re-
ceived from India and from most other foreign lb sr k eta,
together with vi des. unfavourable rumours respecting the
mousy market, have mused a very depressed market -here
to-day. Tlhe eashillty of the Bank of Freese sod the Credit

tima Y oast so to the probability of our own national es.
tahliabsaest, is the esigencies which may follow upon me-
setary diantlties in the neighbouring country, bevies to
empesd sash payments. Them rumours and tpreulatione
have met with more or less consideration in different circles,
bet the general taw oldie market, from whatever cause. is

. . .
"Our tables," they observe," which embrace the exports
of the first also months of the present year, compared with
1864 ere satisfactory, for they show that exports of cotton
fabrics have not been much interfered with by them. In
most articles as increase will be perceived, In which, besides
Turkey, Egypt and Sicily bays partaken. Chili and Peru
also show an increase over the same period of 1854. In
.the decrease part of our statemeat the United States of
America end British North America figure prominently,
and the falling off in woollen and worsted fabrics is particle.
larly large. Our exports to Australia also show a large
falling off. India figures this time in the decrease.
"It may appear strange that ear exports to the United
States show so large • falling off, while the imports from
that country have been extenrive, and will be henceforth
still more considerable. The feet is that the uncertainty
bow the harvest would turn out at the time when ship-
ments were required prevented purchases being effected as
usual. It must be borne in mind that last year's harvest
in the United States was deficient, and the country suffered
in consequence. The large imports of 1854 sold with diffi-
culty, and in nosy instances to • loss. This year the
reverse is the case, the moderate shipments found buyers,
and the spring trade will in all probability turn out highly
satisfactory. The recent accounts from Australia are also
better, so that the present falling off in our exports to that
country will somewhat be made up during this and the
next year. The revision of the commercial code of France,
and the ameliorations which have already taken place, lead
to the hope that • mutually beneficial trade will hereafter
be carried on between the allies, thus cementing the union
still more, and rendering it the interest of both nations not
to allow any thing to disturb the relation now happily sub-
listing between them.
" The Greek houses, and the buyers for the home trade
(amongst whom we number printers who have to supply
themselves with grey cloths) have been the chief operators
during the past mouth. The fact is incoatrovertible, that our
stocks, with the exception of goods suitable for laths, are
light, and that firm prices ate maintained for articles which
have to be manufactured expressly for verticals, purposes.
Our market is therefore a healthy one ; it has been little
influenced by the position of the Liverpool c loon market,
upon which the measures of the Bank of Haploid
exerted an instantaneous general, though slight, effect,
while at Manchester it was only partially felt,
notwithstanding the caution exercised by the larger buyers,
under an impression that the giving way of cotton of id. to
id. per lb. in Liverpool would cause a similar reduction in
goods and yarns here, which in some measure has proved
correct; but we found during the last day or two muck
more firmness in the quotations of good* g lly than we
could have expected. Our manufacturen have thus im-
proved their polities in some respects, while spinners find
more diMoalty in maintaining former prices; but it must
he recollected that yarns roes more is proportion than goods
in the previous months.
" Notwithstanding the pronto which the sudden rise
in the rats of discouats has ceased in Liverpool, middling
New Orleans sottos did not, or only momentarily, fall below
6d. per lb., and we find it quoted today 6 1.16 d. per lb.,
with very little choice as to quality, for it is notorious that
good cotton is at present scares in Liverpool."

COTTON.—LivutrooL, Ocr. 2.—The market (dosed very
heavily, and prices of Americans are 1 16d. per lb. is fa-
vour of the purchaser. Burets are without change. Com-
mon Maesio is 111 per lb. cheaper, but all other descriptions
are unchanged. The sales are 6,000 bales, 4,900 of which
are Americans (600 for export), 80 Percent and Moran-
ham, 61d. to 7 ; 100 Bahia, 614. ;30 Egyptian, 81d. to
9d. ; and 2,000 Bunt, 31d. to 41d. per lb.

LINEN TRADE.—The demand for white and finished
goods during the current week has not been by any means
of a brisk or Beal character. Stock., however, are not
heavy, and priors rule firm. Favourable anticipations con-
tinue to be entertained about the American trade in the
coming spring. With refereed to the brown markers—in
Armagh, on Tuesday lest, there was a fair &mend for
goods. which free changed hands at previously current
figures. On Thursday, in Lurgan, &open were in consi-
derable request, and exhibited a -slight tendency towards
advance; damasks and lawns were without any alteration
worthy of note. Friday's market in Ballymena was rather
an excited one. A good deal doing in both yarns and linens
—the supply of the latter not equal to the requirements of
the trade. One party wanting 700 to 800 pieces only got
about 250 pieces. Under these circumstances, coupled with
the state of the labour market at home, and 'he wants at
present of the United States, it is at least possil4e that both
yard and limbs may go higher.—Be yawl Paper.

MANUFACTURES.—Bununtermo, Orr. 2.—There
has been no alteration in the state of the market today,
with the exception of a rather better demoted for low goods
for shipping, the trade in which for some time has been dull.
We also hear of a few orders having heeti given out for re-
versible clothe of good quality for ladies winter wear.

WOOLS.—ffIIDDIRMILD, Oar. 2.—There is evidently
a falling off in the demsnd for almost ell descriptions of
colonial wools, but stocks having become considerably re-
dead, prices continue to be well maintained.

WOOLLENS.—Lszne, OCT. 2 —Tbe attendant., of
merchants and clothiers in the Cloth belle this morning was
by no means large, sad the transactions were of limited
extent. As compared with Saturday last the market was
dull. This dulness, however, nay be accounted for. In
the flat place, the increase in the Bank of England rate of
discount tends in a slight degree to make persons caution,.
Next, the state of the war renders it judicious to speculate
with care. Bat the most forcible reason for the flatness of
the market is the extreme fioenete of the weather. This
dispense merchants and dealers to hold beet in their per
chases of heavy geode until a change in the weather shall
bring bnyers into the town in march of fabrics suitable for
winter wear. Therefore, although the market may be re-
ported ea quiet, or even flat, it presents no iadication what-
ever of an approaching stagnation; but merely shows that a
wise and timely caution is being exercised by our merchants
and clothiers.
iIVDDIIIII7III.D. OCT. 2.—The attendar es at the Hell
was larger than usual, and there was more than an average
amount of
business transacted. Fancies mid mixtues were
in pretty general request; and unions were oleo in good
demand.

ERE CORN TRADE.
(ham Procier's Limalar.)

Liraaeotri, Otis. 2.—The wheat crop is pretty g Ily
represented as various in quantity, and also in quality. The
more timetable reports of the actual yield come from two
or three of the Midland counties, from whence, we are
gives to saderstaad, a pod Lair ge produce of seasons
may be equestod. From nearly all the other core-growing
districesof the kingdom the reports make the " cast " per
acre el wheat deficient. In summing up oar information
sad pommel observation, we take it that slue on four
quarters per acre of marketable wheat will be about the
aggregate average yield this season ; that four-and-a-halt to
five quarters may be Akin as a fair go of years ; and
that last year would probably have given a result of from
Die to wives quarters. Farther, the average deficient
weight per baebel of this year's crop cannot be stated at less
than 21be. (it varies from 641 b.. to faiths.) At same time we
meat take into mount that we have for the last four or five
weeks been highly favoured in the weather, and
the farmer hm bad the good fortune of gather.
ing lovasr his later crops in saving condition,
asd the quality much better than was anticipated. Berl. y
is called a ladierop, and to have been secured in fair order,
but the yield is coarse, and much of it unsuitable for but
brewing parries& The set of parliament, however, which
tame into eguatiow yesterday, permitting malt to be used
by distills.UMW band, will very likely enhance the pries
of barley gessully. The crop of oats was at one time the
most pesesidwg sad bulky of any on the land, but all u-
sual mum representiag it as turning out sadly defi-
cient it weight end quality. T
hey,ht beau were • great
fellers; the wig, sown, howe u well as peas, ere well
podded, though neither article is understood to be grown to
the eaten% of former years. The first hay crop was small ;
the mend • good one, and satisfactorily mused ; and, to-
gether, only about two-thirds of an average el somas

CORN.—Ht OCT. 2.—We bad • good supply of
wheat from the farmers to-day, and which met free sale at
the full rates current lest week; the condition of the new
wheat was various, and weights irregular, in neith, tesp•Ot
improving upon last week. A very retaiebusiness in fordo
wheat, owing to the high pretensions of holders. A ge..o
deal of business done in barley during the week, at Is. to 25.,
per qr. more money. Linseed unaltered, but cakes hardly
maintain the late advice. Rape cakes continue scarce
Bones otter sparingly, and realise high rates, both here and
to arrive. Imports from Sept. 22 to Sept. 28: Wheat, 12
qn. • barley, 300 ; oats, 677 peas, 30 ; tares, 103; linseed,
3,006 ; rapeseed, 780 toil cakes, 190 tons; bones 80.
Liam, Ocr. 2.—We have a fair show of now wheat
to-day, and millers operate with great caution, taking
only the choicest lots, and prices scarcely so good se on
Friday; old is held with great firmness at previous rate,.
Barley inquired for, and the few lots offering sell readily
Oats, beans, and other articles, without variation. Average
price of grain :—Wheat, 1,550, 77a. 7d. ; barley, 30, 40, ;
beans, 13, 60e. 4d. Arrivals this week:—Wheat, 3,482;
oats, 176 ; barley, 129 ; beau, 22 ; rapeseed, 769 ; linseed,
336.

LYNN, Ocr 2.—Thers hes been a good supply of wheat
at market today (chiefly new); best quality and old the
turn d , but inferior samples dull at last week's rates.
The supply of barley increases, and it was taken at the quo-
tations of last week. Wheat, red, 591bs. to 631 b., 7'L. to
795. ; old and white, 80s. to &Is. Barley, 38.. to 40s. ;
extra, 424.
NiwcAsms, OCT. 2.—The weather tc day is dull and
showery, and much against the condition of new corn. At
our market this morning we had a good supply of new
wheat, mostly in poor condition, and it was taken ofl
readily at Is. under Saturday's rates, the prices obtained
ranging from les. to 20s. per qr. New south country being
in liberal supply. our millers operated cautiously, only
taking sufficient for their moat pressing wants, under the Stu
pression that before the vessels are cleared they will ►ave an
opportunity of purchasing upon more favourable terms,
which however, from the very moderate condition of our
can growth, we much doubt the practicability. Fine old
was held with such tenacity, that only few transactions ee
caned. Flour ec.rce, and fully as dear. Some few parcels
of new malting barley have arrived of various quality ;
moderate runs, weighing St lbs. to 12 lbs., have been sold
at 425. ; extra, 44a. ; but at these rates our mahatma pur-
chase sparingly. Malt is scarce, and still tending upward.
In beans and peas little change. Old oats rather dearer.
