MARKETS.

COTTON.—ImarooL, Ocr. 15.—We have had rather
mare inquiry to-day without change in prices. Saks to-day,
6,000 bales, including 3,000 speenktion sad eaport. 200
American, 22d. to 24d. • 20 horns, 25d. ; 210 Moak

ooTroN GOODS.—ltanonforran, Ocr.ls.—The market
for cotton yarns and cloths has continued to droop through-
out the week. Most of the inferior kinds of cotton can be
purchased at tea. to 2d. per lb. cheaper than last week, and
for this reason the sellers of manufactured goods are com-
pelled to take lower prices. Oa Tuesday the sellers of yarn
toned it impossible to do business without submitting to •
decline of Id. per lb. There has bees rather more hominess
the last two days, at desffialog dims, but still at rates which
show more dispodtion on the part of spinners to resist •
further reduction than they manifested earlier in the week.
Yesterday there was certainly less poseurs to sell home
trade yarns than on Tuesday. Misdeals. in Efpyptian cotton
217t0 have been checked this week, and consequently
.. made out of this description of material are held
with more firmness by 'piano's than other descriptions. In
the cloth market there is but little change sums lad week.
Stooks have been • good deal reduced to first hands, and
manufacturers will not make suck great sacrifices as they
would • week ego to realists Still very little badmen can
be effected without some cooessdoo, sad prices are sonar
moistly drooping. The pejo:eclat thirsind are • little steadier,
but pesetas, domestics tad other clothe, are difficult of sale,
sad lower prices have been taken. In some of the lower
kinds of yarns and cloths boyars are soaking airs at Id.
decline on faraday's rates, which, in some Madames, have
been sates, though by no meant generally.

WOOLLEN.—Lime, Ocr. 15.—The coloured hall thls
morning has shown little animation; beyond the transfer
of • few dark tweeds nothing of importance has tresepired.
A few small parcels of witneys and similar makes have con-
stituted the chief demand in the White-hall. Bait lists
have not met with mach encouragement. Bates an rather
easier.

HARDWARE.—Butiitsoaan, Our. 15.—The state of
trade in this town fa, upon the whole, satisfactory : the
factors are giving out a moderate supply of orders, and
manufacturers are for the most part working full time, the
exceptions to that being unimportant. In the metal trades
there is a lack of animation, and the rolling mills are not so
wel I eopged se 'suet The platers are doing avery fair amount
of buiiness, and the edge tool and hollow-were manufactu•
refs report favourably as to the condition of trade in those
branches. Amongst the pafitters and Lamp and chandelier
manufacturers also there is more business stirring. The
button trade is dull, and amongst the jewellers and others
engaged in the fancy trades slackness is reported. In the
adjoining district there is full employment in all the most
important trades; the foundries are well engaged, as are also
the manufacturers of railway fittings. On the Walser-
lisarptoa and &Won side of the county the men are work-
leg full time at most of the isanufactories, and at Walsall
the saddlers' ironmongers have suiliciett orders in to keep
them going full time. The iroornasters' meetings for the
quarter were brought to a close at Dudley to-day; the
attendance was small, and very little bueinesa was done.
As to the colliers' strike, a meeting was held at Basica
to-day, and it seems now to be more than ever probable that
the man will go in.

NOILICIOR, Our. is.-The supply of wheat was fair at this
market to-day, and for all good qualities the prices of this
day se'nnight were about maintained ; other sorts met a
&N sale. The demand for barley was seamely equal to the
supply, but the best malting descriptions were taken off at
last week's terms. Al!

01&01D. Oct. IL—This corn exchange today was not so
well attended ea it has been for the laat few Saturdays, and
that result may be attribstable to the downward tendencies,
not only of wheat, but other kinds of grain, so that
farmers, finding not much chance of prices being higher,
and the present one* hardly maintainable, have purposely
refraised from attending market. Those present had im
Wbed the same opinion, and coesequently but few samples
changed hands, although wheat plurally was in very good
=edition. These remarks may be applied to all kinds of
pain ; and it may be further remarked with regard to bar.
ley, that although the malting season has commenced there
was but little inquiry for it to-day. Prices were as follows :
old wheat, 38e. to 425. per quarter ; new, Ms. to 420.
barley, 28s. to 34e. ; oats, 18s. to 275.

Warearoan, Oar. 15.—We cannot report any arrival,
of firings grain sin= this day sinaight, and coastwise only
• few sacks of Sour and wheat have been received.
liveries from fumes% have somewhat increased, but by boat
very little can come to hand, owing to the shallow-nem of
the rivers in the interior from costumed want of rain. The
water power of the cannily is now very low, most of the
mills being nearly totally idle, end this of counts curtails the
inquiry. We cannot report much change in our market.
Oats are rather dearer, but some descriptions of maize met
be purchased at lem money. Wheat.—Without much de-
mand, previous prices are naked for all sorts. Barley firm
at late rates. Oats.—ln some indiums 3d. to 4d. per

be made on ex ship sales. Flour =altered. Imports this
