COTTON 000D8.—blauccazavas, AtOUST I6.—We
have had a mod business in cloth, where sellers were
disposed to be not over enacting in putting on a price Dem-
mensurate with the fresh rise in cotton. This speculative
feeling in Liverpool sadly ioterrupts and perplezee both
buyers and sellers of goods here, in the present sensitive
state of our market. The chief demand for cloths is on
India account, and the 'deices by this mail from Calcutta,
whilst announcing he►vy sales, state that values were de•
pressed by the heaviness of stocks, and consequently enpor•
ten have great discouragement here in risking the most
trifling ad . Spinners are firm in seeking an advance,
and whae buyers have pressing orders they vs obliged I.
concede it ; but this necessarily restricts business, which is a
good deal confined to the absolute requirements of the
moment.

LACE AND HOSIERY.—The annual mimetic% of lace
business in August is for the preeeat about complete. There
is at all events no foreign business doing, and the attention
of our manufacturers ia occupied in devising new patterns
and combinations to snit the approaching meson. It will be
about the I:0th of September before activity is resumed.
' Hosiery is also still characterised by inactivity, but with
prospects of considerable encouragement, both from the fine
weather, the good news, and the relaxation of the pressure
on the American money market, where the prospects are
becoming more and more favourable as to the future
operations every mail. Materials have been for some time
very firm, and are now looking ap—merinos having
perienced an advance, and both raw and thrown silks like.

WOOL.—BaADFORD, AUGUST 16.—The beautiful we..

thee. coupled with the en' eouraging news. bag tended to give
an animated tome to business in the market to-day. Tkere

Beans unaltered During the present week this splendid

changed hand,. Barley maintains its value. Oats offering
61 to Is. under previous rates, without finding buyers

trifling. At this morning's market wheat declined 3d. t.
