MARKETS.

TALLOW.—SATURDAT ETC\ING.—The market WU
steady to-day. Spot, 435. ; September, 455. ; October to
December, 434. dd. Delivery to jut evade`, 918 make ;
arrivals ditto, 1,927.

corroN.—Livraroot, AUGUST B.—We bays had a

COTTON GOODS.—Mitemixieria, Avenel' a—The
bmineea of the week has not been inconsiderable. There
was sometmproventent in both cloth sod earn on Tuesday,
acd though the market was quiet for tire two following
days it baa again been moderately active yesterday, and this
morning. In yarns suited to India and Chin► an well as in
counts and qualities taken for the Mediterranean and for
the home trade buyers have operated to a fair extout at full
prices, and with a tendency to an advance. In cloths the
principeli buying has been for India, chiefly in 61b., 71b.
shirting' and the lighter fabrics (such as jaceopera, mulls,
and madapollams) ; but 81b. 4oz. shirting' (40-inch), and
better deacription" of fahrice, such as 43.iuch shirting', have
shared to some extent in the demand. It is reported that
some rather heavy purchases on India account have been
made in afew instances, and sellers have been able fully to
maintain Tuesday's rates. There has been some buying
for the home trade, and a good man• contracts in
the halide 'of manufacturers, offprioters, T cloths, domestics,
and other goods are in course of delivery. Manufacturers
complain that the prices offered for contracts are inadequate I
to cover the coat of yarn, and no doub► hail the :rotten
market supported them duriog the last few days they would
have been able to get bettrr prices. The Liverpool market,
however, has barely held its own, and consequently any
attempt to force up cloths has a tendency to check business.
The cause of wavering at Liverpool is evident enough. Last
week there were symptoms of a speedy exhaustion of stocks,
but during the preaeut week the arrivals have included the ICI
large quantity of I'o,loB bales of Surats, 7,453 American,
5, WA Brazilian, and 1,762 Egyptian; making a total of
more than 75,200, whilst the sales have been leap than
27,000. Thin has raised the stock of all descriptions in Li-
verpool to 306 030 toles, against 26:1,7r,0 at the same date
last year, whilst the cotton advised on its way to this
country from India is reported now as high u 37300 bales.

WOOLLEN C WTllS.—Laacs, A ccrwr 3.—The'markets
this morning were tolerably well attended, and a fair buai-
ness was transacted, particularly in the coloured hall, where
several good parcels changed hawls, chiefly in tweeds, heavy
ruinous, and milled diagonals. Plain cloths were not much
in request, and in the white market the main demand was
for witneys, prima, awl fabrics of that elate, a good many of
which were disposed of at fully sustained rates. Manufac-
turers of these goods are now very well employed, and are
anticipating a good season.

HARDWARE.—Binursonam, AUGUST R.—The trade of
this town continues satisfactory. In those branches which
constitute what are called the metal trades there is a good
amount of business doing; the brew-founders, edge-tool
makers, eleetro-platers, wire-drawers, hollow-ware manufac-
turers, and tin-plate workers, report business more than
up to the average as compared with the last two or three
years. The jewellers report business quiet b that branch,
sod in some other instances a scarcity of orders is felt, but
this is partial, and that business concerns here are upon the
whole in a healthy condition no better proof could be
afforded than the fact that at thii particular season there
should be orders enough in hand to enable manufacturers
to keep their usual complement of bands on at full time,
and that machinery should be in roll operation. in the
foreign trade the improvement which became visible ten
days ago has been maintained; in the continental depart-
ment more activity prevails; and there is • fair supply of
orders in from Australia; to China there has also been a
pretty good business doing of late; on account of Canada
there has not yet been much doiog for the fall shipment. In
the adjoining district of South Staffordshire and Worcester-
shire the manufacturing trades are in a healthy state, there
being very little of unemployed labour.

supply of wheat from our farmers this morning, which sold
slowly, at a decline of la. to 2a. qr. • Norfolk red also re-

though holders were disposed to submit to a similar redac-
tion. Flour slow sale. No change in beans or barley.

tan demand, and to effect sales it is necessary to submit to
a reduction of ls. per qr. both on Scotch and foreign. The

NORWICH, AVC CST 8.-Tliere was only a thin attendance

as last week for old samples. A sample or two of new
wheat appeared, and these were taken off at 48e. to 50e. per
quarter. In other articles little doing. lln Tuesday after-
noon mad again on Thursday there was a great deal of rain,
which while it proved of essential service to the barleys has
somewhat retarded the progress of the harvest. The
weather has since been very hot and forcing and farmers
are now folly engaged in cutting both wheat and barley.

Prrunoaooos, AUGUST B.—We had a fair quantity of
