MARKETS.

COTTON.—Livaaroor, Jzcz 24.—The sales of cotton
at our market to day are estimated at 20,01.10 bales, of
which 2,000 are taken for expert, and 6,000 on speculation.
They include 800 Egyptian, at 6ld. to 7.1.; 2,000 Surat,
at 30. to 411. ; and 60 Sea Islands at 171 d. to 20d. The
market closes with increased excitement ; prices of all short
stapled are dearer than yesterday. Egyptian and Brazilian
are unchanged. American at and under aid. are Id. up in
the last eight days. Surat also ill. per lb. advanced.
MANCHESTER, AMY 24.—There is very little change in
our market since Thursday. The prices of j printing cloths
are firm, owing to a well sustained demand, and for some
of the middle and better qualities of Madapollann very full
rates are obtained, the makers being generally well en-
gaged. The same remark applies to good qualities of
3 4 shirting., but India qualities of 41)-inch shirting*
are still at a reduction of lid., and the demand for T
cloths is slow, with irregular prices. Grey jacconets
aintain their position steadily, and the lively de-
, !nand in which printed goods are held keeps up their
value—especially of the lighter fabrics suitable to the
season, which are selling remarkably well. Printers in
almost all directions are active, and some are doing a very
fair business. Yarns are rather steadier than they were •
few days ago, owing to the hardening and active state of the
Liverpool cotton market, though the trade here aro unwil-
ling to be led by anything which bears the appearance of a
mere speculative movement.
WOOLLEN CLOTll—Lzanis, JOLT 24.—We have had
a good market to-day: goods suitable for the fall trade, and
other cloths of a good and marketable description, were
readily sold. Business has been rather brisk in the ware-
houses during the week: quite an average trade is doing.

HARDWARE.—Dtamixotrau, JVLT 24.—There bas
been little to report respecting the condition of trade
here during the last fortnight; generally it is rather dull,
the home trade hiving been rather unfavourably affected by
the elections ; in some branches the foreign orders are rather
large, and perhaps, upon the whole, the manufacturers
have leas cause fur complaint than at any previous period
in the current year. Humours of an advance in the price
of iron gather strength and confirmation daily, so that
there seems to be little doubt but that this will take place
before long ; not only for bars are the orders good, but fur
rails the demand for foreign lines is enormous, espe•
cially fur Russia j all the works are in full operation, and
new furnaces are said to be on the eve of being put in blast.
Trade in the district is in a tolerably satisfactory condition;
the demand fur tin-plates is good, but prices are said to be
still unremunerative.

CORN.—Eoseog, July 24.—We have had a slender sup-
ply of Wheat at market during the week, and, the demand
being very limited, sales were effected at about ls. per qr.
under huit week's rates. The weather still continues la-
',curable to the growing crepe, and we are expecting an
abundant harvest. Nothing doing in spring corn. Wheat,
red, 36.. to 38s. ; white, eos. to ets.

Crotitatiion, July 21.—The tine weather had a very de-
pressing effect upon the Wheat market to-day, and prices

COLCIIRSTii, July 24.—A fair supply of Wheat ; the
sale slow, at la. decline. Beans, Peas, and Oats barely
maintain late rates; an average quantity 'offered. Some
new Pemi and Oats on sale, the quality of each good, also
the condition of the former; the Oat. not quite hard.
OutLurono, July 24. Our market continues to be
thinly supplied with Wheat, nevertheless it is sufficient for
the demand, which to-day was again heave, but former
prices were realised. Wheat, 3tle. to 2.ja. to
325. Oats, 20e. to 235. Beans, 344. to 3tts.
