COTTON GOODS.—Murceurria, AUGUST 12.—We
still find a moderate demand for sll kinds of good yarns.
The Germans end the shippers to Bombay are also in the
market giving good prices for Ws water twist and 40's mule
yare, but in consequence of the stoppage of so many mills
yarns are becoming much scarcer, and the few spinners who
hold stocks are able to command extreme prices for any-
thing that will WI. The demand, however, is
not as active u it was last week, which I. in some
measure attributable to buyers having lees choice from the
diminution of supply. In cloth we have not much business
to-day, slthoueh prices are quite ss firm, if not higher than
last week. Fidler., on the one hand, have great faith in
higher prices, believing that from the rapid decrease of pro-
duction they will shortly have a better command of the
market. The stoppage of mills is going on beyond prece-
dent, and it has been confidently reported on the exchange
today that of the vast number of factories in Blackburn
and its neighbourhood, where a great portion of the shirtinp
and other fabrics for India are produced, only three will
short) be at work. Messrs. Fieldeo, of Todmorden, are re.
to have only one out of seven mills at work,
ai7hey propose to give their workpeople three days
wages per week. Many others are following their ex.
ample in stopping, and most of them are making
some provision for their support in idleness. This, however,
, cannot be expected of many, from their limited mauls, and
because some are already on the brink of ruin themselves.
Whilst the few producers left are in good hopes of better
pries from diminished proluction, buyers on the other
hand are shy. They seem to have some fear that goods
dangerous at present rates, and whether their means of in-
formation is good or not, they are acting upon it in the
belief that it is wisest. The present season has been avail-
able for the holden of old stocks, and within the last few
days some large sales have taken plow of cloths which
are not likely for some time to be replaced.
A new material has been mixed with cotton to some ex-
tent by spinners and manufacturers, and with considerable
11410,110. This is a preparation of flax, the waste from what
is used in the linen manufacture. The chief difficulty is in
preparation, so as to give it a colour in harmony with grey
calico, and there is some difficulty in spinning it on cotton
machinery. Manufacturers have been found who have over-
come tbir difficulty, and domestics have been sold in this
market baying an appearance which gives it a preference
over ordinary cotton goods. In price it has been bought so
as to give the manufacturer a good profit as compared with
cotton ; but as the supply is limited, that difference will
soon be lost as it comes to be appreciated. Most people
know that for years past a mixture has heft sold for lima
cloth called " onion," which buyers had to guard against as
a fraud. By the change which has now taken place through
the cotton famine, calicoes will be in the market adulterated
with linen ; but, so far from being guarded against as a
fraud, it will be an advantage rather than otherwise to be
able to purchase such goods.

WOOLLEN CLOTIL—Lceps, Atmore 12.—The man
let this morning was sot characterised by any great anima-
tion. The transactions did not exceed the usual Tuesday's
average. la the colound-ball the demand was almost ea-
tirely for tweeds; in the whitebait witseys and ether
heavy fabrics had the preference. Rates remain unaltered.

MANUFACTURES. —III3DDIMUIFIELD. doom 12.
The brisk demand for low goods which bas prevailed foe
the last few weeks has not been sustained to-day, but a
moderate demand continues for middle-priced fancy's and
doeskins. In other branches lousiness is not quite so
active.

WOOL& —HUDDERSFIELD. Ammer 12.—There is not
much doing in oolocials, although there ia a moderate
choice in the market. From the quantity to be offered an
impreasion prevails that prices will be easier, which causes
manufacturen to hold off buying.

/wooer 12.—ht to-day's market
any English wheat olferiog ; the few parcels sold teal'
58a. to 60s. per 5041 b., being an advance of ls. to 2s. per

retail demand, at prices in favour of sellers. Barley scarce.

LIZEDS, Arionar 12.—The weather the last few days.
though not really unfavourable, has been sunless, and
the crops in the country have made but little
whilst cutting in the southern districts is now =
general, but from the samples of new wheat we are daily
rensiviug it is quite certain we are going to. have an ordinary
quality, and a very deficient yield. These circumstances com-
bined incline foams to hold the little remaining stock of
freak old wheat with great tenacity, and they are by no
means anxious stollen, eve° at an advance of Is. per quarter
from the rates of last Tuesday. No sew barley offering.
Berea, oats, sod other articles without material alteration
in demand or value.

Lirearoor.,Gun 12.—With a fair attendance of
millers and dealers at this day's market, wheat met Pat
moderate consumptive demand at about previous rate., or
in come instances Id. per coated reduction, az ship. Fl ar
is held for Friday's prima, but buyers set with caution.
Indian corn was sot so actively looked after as of late, aid
must be quoted 3d. per quarter cheaper. Oats are Id. per
bushel, and oatmeal rid. per load dearer. Beans are the turn
easier. Peas and barley bring full prime. The market
closes without saimation.

NIMCASTLE, AUGUKT 12.—The weather is gloomy but
warm. We had a good attendance to-day at our market
and ► considerable huainess was done in foreign wheat,
particularly in fine lantzic, at a trifle over last Saturday's
rate'. Fine fresh country and Norfolk wheats likewise the
turn dearer. Flour is held firmly Ifor a further advance.
which for the present our dealers resist ; but as stocks are
low, we look forward to being able to establish the advance
next week. Barley and beans inclining upward.. Malt
firm. Peas unaltered. Fine fresh oats, either Scotch or
foreign, in request.

CATTLE—BraltlliOlUill, Ana= 12.—Tbe number of
beast on offer this day was barges than the past few weeks,

rates. The supply of sheep and lambs sot so large as last
Tuesday, the trade fair at last week's prices. Ns a fair
seasonable supply, at a shade lower prism

BIUTTORD dIiAT Sane FAIL —itiALINISURT, Acorn 12.
—This great and important fair for the sale of sheep, cattle,
and hone', took place to-day. and was not ally well sup-
plied with all descriptions of sheep, but wee attended by a
large number of farmers and extensive dealers from this and
adjoining counties, including Sussex, Surrey, and more dis-
tant parts. Taken altogether, however, it was not a selling
fair, and prices ranged from la. to 3. per head below those
of last year, although when compered with figures obtain, d
at late fairs, there was little or no difference. A few pens
of fine ewes sold as high as 435. per head. There were
some very fine lambs on offer, the best selling at tee.
per has 4 the average being 3fie. The ram lambs
on the ground were much admired, and sold
and let at good prime. The public interest was
mainly comentruted on the animals shown for the different
prizes. Some splendid breeding ewes were exhibited which
c=ra prize, and were afterwards secured by a well-known
at &85. a head. A pen of 101) wetherlamba, which
have rarely been excelled at this fair, was sold for 50s.
per bead to the butcher. In the ram clue there was not
much competition, but there was one pen of beautiful
animals which obtained a prize. There was a good, though
not to say • large show of horses, and the best animals
appeared to meet with a ready sale, at remunerative prices.
Of cattle there was only a meagre supply. The show of
implements wu large. The arreagegoeuts of the fair were
highly satisfactory, sod reflected such credit on lie.
Attwater, the secretaz7 sad we bear it is intended to pro.
sent that gentleman with a piece of plate, in acknowleda.
' runt of the valuable services which be has rendered for
enema years.
