COTTON GOODS.—liithcitharth, JOLT 4.—lt does not
often recut that we have such an entire absence of business
as we have had during the past week. In the early part of
it rumours of Earl Runell's resignation and of renewed
overtures from the Emperor of the French in favour of in-
tervention entirely killed the market, and sent down the
prices of yarn jd. per lb. ; but even at this decline, so much
was confidence shaken, that nobody bad courage to buy. To
a great extent by yesterday the impression created by these
rumours had been dissipated, and both spinners and menu-
lecturers had gone back to previous rates ; but the distur-
bance of confidence to nth an extent is not easily repaired,
and buyen are still holding back. There have been good
advioee from Bombay and Calcutta of rising prices in yarn
and cloth, which have tended more than anything else to
restore the tone of the market, bringing in buyers of yarn
fcr the Glasgow and Bradford trades, and from our own
manufacturers, but at prices which spinners could not se-
cant. There has been a considerable business done, bow-
ever, in yarns in the aggregate for various markets yester-
day and this morniog, at nearly the prime of last week. In
the cloth market there is some inquiry, but it he led to very
little businen, though an impression prevails that the India
'drive must bring buyers forward for cloths suitable to
that quarter. The market for yarns and cloths closes firm
at about last week's rates.

WOOLLEN CLOTH.—Line, JOLT 4.—The markets
this morning were well attended, and a fair business was
transacted, chiefly in the Coloured-hall, where a good many
autumn fabrics changed heeds, also • sprinkling of light
make' in the way of job lots. Plain cloths were not much
in demand, and the Whitehall wore a quiet aspect. Milled
diagonals were again in request and sold freely. Rates
remain firm. The fine seasonable weather appears to be
exercising • beneficial influence upon trade.

HARDWARE.— Britiersoassr, JULY 4.—The trade of
this town has steadily improved daring the lastifortaight,
and although it is still anything but brisk, there in a fair
amount of business doing. Not only have the country
orders improved, but there is more doing in connexion with
the foreign trade ; the result is that all the manufactories
have been working full time, except at such establishment,
as they have been taking dock. In the gun trade more
activi prevails, consequent on a recent order for Turkey. In
the adjoining district business is quiet, but, with the excep-
tion off, the puddler, and the milers who are on strike,
there is comparatively little of unemployed labour. On
the Dudley side there is evidence of increasing trade. Lord
Dudley's fine works at Round Oak are about to be increased ;
a day or two ago the foundation stone was laid of two new
forges; such is the increasing demand for iron produced
at these works, that the extension now in course hea become
indispensable. The coal trade in this district is dull, chiefly
in consequence of the diminished consumption at the works
by reason of the paddlers' strike, which is now in the four-
teenth week.

COMM.-Causal:oar, JULY 4.-The very fine weather
which we have had during the week made wheat unsaleable.
except at lower prices, little else offering. Wheat, 42a. to
46e. Beans, 38s. to 40s. Oats, 20a. to .Za.
CARLISLE., JULY 4.-Very small supply of all kinds of
grain at oar market to-day, which met with a quick sale at
fully last week's rates. Wheat, white, 18s. to 20a. ; red,
16a. 6d. to 18e. ; barley, 12a. to 13e. • cats, potato, 10a. to
Ils. 6d. ; ditto common, 9s. to 10s. id.
Couttiffirrn, JULY 4.-A short supply of wheat, which
met a slow sale, at generally last weeks prices, and in some
instances Is. per qr. cheaper. But little doing in beans and
peas at full prices.
GUILDFOW, JULY 4.-The supply of wheat at market
to-day was again very short. All descriptions realised late
values, but the continuance of fine weather, and in general
the favourable accounts of the crops, prevented millers
from being anxious purchaser. Wheat, 40s. to 57a. ; bar-
ley, 30e. to 345. ; oats, ais. to 265. ; beans, 38s. to 43a.
per qr.
LEICESTER, JULY 4.-There was only a moderate
show of wheat to-day, the supply consisting of a
sprioktiog of red and white sorts. Business was quiet, and
prices favoured buyers. Old red sorts were quoted at
Ain. to 50e. ; new, 41s. to 48s. ; new white, 45e. to 525.
per 36 stone. Grinding barley was a moderate sale, and
commanded the prices of hut week-viz., 275. to 30s. per
30 stone ; malting was quoted at 34a. to 38a. per quarter.
There was not much activity in the demand for oats, and
prices were similar to those of last week ; new, 26e. to 30a. ;
fine, 325. per 24 stone. In the value of beans no important
alteration occurred ; samples made 38a. to 425. per quarter.
Flour, 30s. to 365. per 20 stone.
NEwCASTLR•UPON-TYNE, JULY 4.-At our market this
morning, owing to a large stock fair being held in the neigh-
bourhood, we had an extremely scanty show of wheat from
growers, and an equally thin attendance of buyers, but
fresh-thrashed parcels being wanted for mixing, a clearance
was effected at little variation from the rates of this day
se'nnight. South country descriptions held firmly, but, to
have effected sales, it would have been necesssry to have
accepted a reduction of Is. per qr. In foreign the !remo-
tions were confined to tine mixed Dantric for which 52a.
per 5041b5. was paid, the natural weight being 611Ibs. per
bushel. Flour in slow request, but can scarcely be written
cheaper. Grinding barley inquired for, and extreme
quotations are made without difficulty. Malt firm. Beans
and peas comparatively neglected. Oats in limited de-
mand, and to effect sales rather lower prices had to be sub-
mitted to. The arrivals this week are :-Wheat, coastwise,
3,036 qrs.; foreign, 537; oats, coastwise, 1,009; foreign, 740;
flour, coastwise, 593 nicks.
Nonwicii. JULY 4. - There was • much shorter
supply of wheat at this market today than for some time
past. Prices ruled nominally the same as last Saturday, but
there was little demand. White wheat (weighing 59Ihe.
to 011ie.), 465. to 49e. ; red ditto (weighing 591 be. Gilts'),
43e. to 48s. ; oats, 24a to 28e. ; beans, 375. to 385.; peas, 365.
to :17s. per quarter ; flour, 32a. 6d. to Ma. per sack.
Averages :--W heat, 2,412 gra, 46e. 2d. ; barley, 29 qrs.,
30s. Id.

NOTTINGHAM, JULY 4.-There was hardly an average
show of wheat for the time of the year, the condition and
quality of the samples being ,fair. The demand was slow,
and late rata were hardly supported. New white made
43e. to 535. ; new red, 42g. to 50s. per 36 stone. There
was very little barley on offer, and with a quiet feeling us
the trade price* were the same as in the week previous ;
grinding, 275. to 29a. per 30 atone. Oats were in limited
show, and the demand was moderate, at no material change
in prices, old making Me. to 31s. ; new, 225. to 2911. per 24
stone. Beans were a meagre show, and moved off at
former terms ; old, 41a. to 45e. ; new, 37e. to 42a. per 38
stone. Flour, 31s. to 40s. per sack.
Perranonouon, JULY 4.-We had • very small market
here to-day, the trade ruled dull, and barely last week's
prices could be obtained for either wheat or oats. Beans
were held for higher prices.
nockasran, JULY 4.-For the best descriptions of wheat
barely last week's quotation could be realised, and other
descriptions were ls. to 2s. per quarter cheaper. Best white
wheat made 48a. to 545., and red, 445. to 48.. per quarter ;
inferior and secondary whits, 44e. to 48s. ; and red, 40s. to
445. per quarter. The flour trade was of • drooping cha-
racter, and the operations were restricted to beat kinds.
Only • moderate supply of barley was brought forward, and
all beet panels maintained previous figures. Best malting
kinds made 365. to 39a., and grinding 265. to 30a. There
was only • small supply of oats, and the demand was ex-
eeedingly restricted ; beet foreign loth were done at 24• to
275., and others at 20s. to 245. per quarter.
WISBICH, JULY 4.-We continue to be very sparingly
supplied with grain of all kinds, and this will be the case
until we get new corn. The weather is all that eau be
wished, and the country looking very beautiful ; all now de-
pends on the weather. The wheat trade today is dull and

°beeper, whilst tpr. corn holds its pries : in fad there is
so little pais of say kid todo with that the fannies ►old
hard, and therefore the buyers are quite indifferent to do
busioesid Prices to the grower :—Wheat, white, 475.
535., 631bs. per bushel ; ditto red, 465. to 475. Om* lied.
to Is. per stone. Beam, 38e. to 40e. per qr. 19 stew

WORCISTIE, JIM! 4.—At this day's market there was a
small attendance and a short supply of wheat, ,whisk told
slowly at barely the Estee of this day weak. Barley held
quite so much money. Oats only taken in retail. Be",
unaltered. Peas rather cheaper. Weather very fine.
YORK, JULY 4.—The show of wheat was somesh4
limited, and the atanduace was by no MOO= 01103eIOU,
Bales ware made slowly to-day, and prices slightly gave way.
PllOO3 for white (new) ranged from 46e. to 52e. ; for red
(new), 445. to 48s. per 36 stone. Of barley the supply was
unusually small, and the sales made were at little or no
alteration from late rata • grinding, 29e. to 30r. per 30
stow. There was a irroalisupply of cats, and the demand
ruled slow at late quotations ; new, 22e. to 245. per 24
stone. There was not much doing in beans, and sales were
made at 40a. to 425. per 38 stone • malt, 6:k. to feta. ; rye,
325. per quarter ; flour, 345. to 35.. per sack of 280 lbe.
Kisuceamv, JOLT 4.—At our country market+, this
week, we had, as has been the ease for some weeks past, very
little home grain of any kind offering ; prices, excepting of
barley, which is rather darer, in favour of bra en. Here,
to-day, we had only oat parcel of barley, very few oata,
• small supply of wheat. Soles slow. Nevertheless prices
are not lower than last week. Wheat, 33e. to 47e. per qr.;
barley, 27e. 6d. ; oats, 235. to 275. 6d.

WATIIIFORD, JOLT 4.—Eupplies of home-grown grain to
our market oontinue on a most limited scale, and from abroad
we have oely to report the arrival of one cargo of maize,
while coastwise scarcely anything has reached us. For most
articles of the trade there has been a better inquiry. but
maws have again slightly reoeded. Wheat : Irish unaltered,
but foreign we note 3d. per barrel cheaper ; at the decline a
fair quantity has changed hands. Barley as last quoted.
Oats about 3d. per barrel lower, and not much doing at the
reduction. Indian corn goes largely into consumption at
present prices, which are about 3d. to 6d. per barrel below
the currency of last week. Flour quiet, but not cheaper.
Imports this week :—Wheat, Zit qn. • Indian corn, 3,168
rs q. ; flour, 150 barrels, 3H sub
s, this week :
—Oats, 1,450 barrels ; flour, 733 sacks.

CATTLE.—Casmscr., JOLT 4.—On account of the Stag.
shawbank fair, the supply of both beast* and sheep in our
market this week was very small. Few buyers were present,
and the market, even for the small stook on offer, was
dull. During the week heavy stocks of Irish cattle hare
passed through this city to Stagshawbank, and a large fair
was anticipated. The supply of young pigs in our market
to-day was a fair average, about tit ty csrtloarli being on
offer. Some capital ►ots were shown, the majority being
well-grown animals. Home buyers were scarce, and although
dealers bought freely, a clearance was not effected. Prim
varied from 18a. so 20a. sad Zia.
