COTTON GOODS.—MANCH Sxrr. 9.—So for as
yarn' ere concerned we have • dead pause in this market
today, and there has been no indication manifested either
on the part of speculators or the buyers for legitimate trade
to operate. The market is remarkably firm. Neither
spinners nor holders of yarn show any dispaeitioa to make
the slightest concession in prices, or if they do it is to such
• slight extent as utterly to fail in tempting either specu-
lators or the trade to purchase. Both buyers and sellers
seem equally disposed to rest for awhile, and perhaps after
operations of such magnitude as those of the last few'
weeks this wastooly to be expected. The question as to
the stock of cotton in Liverpool naturally engages •
good deal of attention, some people estimating the
quantity still on hand at 100,000 to 150,000 bales; but the
question is one which does not much affect this market,
though it may to some extent be accountable for the very
quiet state of the trade as compared with last week. For
cloth as well as yarn the demand his fallen off almost en-
tirely. Merchants are doing nothing at all. The business
continues as last week to be entirely in the hands of specu-
lators, but even they have paused. They are Wiles lota
wherever they can find them at lower prices, tad the market
for most kinds of cloth is at least 6d. per piece under the
rates of last Tuesday, in some oases probably rather more,
for persons desirous of willies. Few, however, mseifest
anxiety to sell. The stocks of cloth in first band
are so light, and the production is so limited, that
sellers generally are much firmer than might be
expected from the amount of business doing.
The master spinnen and manufacturers have been accused,
rightly or wrongly, of apathy as to our future supply of
cotton, and of holding aloof too much from the various
schemes which have been set afloat for glowing and procur-
ing cotton from new fields of cultivation. It is therefore
gratifying to find that the working classes are directing
their attention to this question. A Working Men's Cotton
Supply Association is in course of formation, with its head-
quarters in Manchester. and committees are being organised
in the various manufacturing towns of Lancashire. Se
soon as this organisation is in a sufficient state of forward-

nen, probably about the end of October, it is proposed to
hare • great demonstration in Manchester, with a view to
fairly enlisting the sympathies of the factory owiatives sari
the public generally in the movement. A part of their
peogramnie is to mounde and encourage to the utmost
of their power joint stock companies both for cottou•
growing and for procuring sod forwarding cotton from
countries share it is at present grown, but where the
facilities are supposed to be inadequate. In these
companies not only working men themaelvee are to be
invited to take shares, but their employers, and the small
retail tradesmen of the venous manufacturing towns, alums
welfare is so intimately connected and linked with that of
the operatives in the cotton trade. A deputation of work-
ing men have already had an interview with 31r. Batter,
M.P., on this subject, and that gentleman is said to have
presented them with • donation of ri/. to aid them in organ-
ising their scheme. Among the schemes already before the
public with a view to increasing the supply of cotton, there
are seven whose shares have already been fixed on a suffi-
ciently low scale to admit of means even so humble as
those working men can afford to aid in their object.
The first of these in the field was the 'intuit
Cotton Company, who propose to direct their energies to the
growth of cotton in JAPlllel, Natal. and Queensland. and
whose shares are only I/. each. The next was the Man-
chester Cotton Company, who issued their shares at
but subsequently reduced them to 201., and then to RC
This company have already taken "taps for procuring and
packing cotton in India, as would be men by the proceedings
at a recent meeting. Another company—the Jamaica Cot.
ton Company—with 10/. shares, have also commenced ope-
ratio's. Another is the East India Cotton Agency, with
101. shares. And besides these there are the Western Aus-
tralia, with 51. shares, the Queensland, with 10/. shares, sod
the Algerian Cotton Company with 51. shares. The. as.
aociations alone, if their shares were all taken, ought to
give • considerable impetus to the future supply
of the staple of our manufacture', without going
further. lint no doubt the working clasees will work out
their object in their own way, and their efforts will be
looked to with c-onsiderable interest, whatever may be the
malt.

MANUFACTURES. HODDIERBITICLD. Sass. 9. The
market opened with activity, and motioned vo for a abort
time, in low goods for shipping and fancy mixtures for the
home trade. Afterwards, it assumed • more quiet ap-
pearance, but as a moderate demand still exists for black
doeskin and winter coat cloths, the day's business can be
reported above an average.

WOOLS.—}IUDDEFISITELD, SEPT. 9.—ln colonial wools
there is good choice, sod, as prospects are considered to be
brighteniog • little, it is an inducement for buyers to
operate and they ere now laying in stocks freely at e eta-
Malted prices.

small supply of English wheat, and both new end old sup-
port last week's correnry. Foreign held firmly at the full
prioss of last week. Barley for feeding supporta late rates;

wretched condition; millers take best samples at fully last

VIRPOOL, Sari. 9.—With • very good attendaace
of millers and dealers at this morning's market wheat in
good 000dition met a fair consumptive demaad at prices of
last week, whilst inferior grades were little dealt in. Flour

in slight request at previous rates. No change in oats and
oatmeal. Beans not quite so steady. Pins and barley hell
firmly at full prices. Market closes steady, but without
activity.
Vrms. Barr. 9.—The weather upon the whole has been
favourable for harvest work. Wheat and barley crops may
be considered secured in West Norfolk. The wheat crop is
much complained of, and will prove deficient both in
quality as well as yield. At our Corn Exchange this day
the attendance of growers was good, and a fair supply of
wheat ; best samples maintained fully last Tuesday's rates ;
common qualities la. per qr. lower. Spring corn fully as
dear. Prices per imperial quarter to the grower : Wheat,

fully last Saturday's rates. Flour steady. No change in
other grain.
