MARKETS.

COTTON.—Livaarout, Nov. t —The sales of cotton
to-day are estimated at 7,000 bales, inclusive of 600 for ex-
port and 1,600 on speculation. The salts comprise 60 Per-
nam and ?uranim, at 6pt. to 61.1. ; 501.1 Egyptian, at I
Old. to 15d.; 1,000 Sent, at 41. to Cied. The market
closes heavily, and, compared with Friday's rates, prices of
American under Bd. arc Id. lower, whist good stapled lots, '
6,01. to 6fd., see little changed. Burst is Id. down. °tear
torts are less affected.
MANCIIESTIIIt, Nov. 4.—The market continues quieter,
and a more moderate tone has succeeded the excitement
which prevailed during several previous weeks is cause-
queece of buyers being anxious to secure goods before the
speculation so rife in cotton at Liverpool had driven them
up to higher prices. The sales of cotton at Liverpool have
come down from 15,000 and 311,000 bales per Jay to 0,000 or
6,000, in consequence of rye, at advice, from the United
States, and we breathe again more freely ; at the same time
the large contract. into which spinners and manufacturers
have been led, will tie up their hands Mr some time to come,
rendering them independent of new business,and prices areas
yet by no means affected. Both y.aras and cloths are starer,
and buyers hare great oifliculty suiting themselves. For
the nearer markets of Europe, too, there is this difficulty,
that goods can scarcely now be bought here so as to sell in
them at a profit, so much more rapidly-have the prices gone
up in this market. There is considerable irregularity of
prices, however, as shown by the following extrsct from
the circular of Metiers. Du Fay and Co.:-14/ hill: yarns and
gray goods command th• advance readily, and are pre-en-
gaged for several week. to come, finithed goods, such us
pnnts and similar articles, are disposed of wall little alte-
ration. Our primers coinplain of unremuncrat i rag business,
whilst London and Liverpool letters din in our ears the un-
paralleled prosperity prevailing in all branches of thy Man-
chester trade. This anomalous state art thiarr. sun only be
thoroughly understood by thews who are eligaged in buci.
nem here. The working claws, f a whose benefit all re-
cent laws have been Premed—and that, we confess, with
justice—are rapidly improving their condition, and en.
deavouring to raise wages still higher, encouraged by
exaggerated accounts of the prelim mode by their
masters ; whilst the classes immediately above them
find it more and more difficult to get on, owing to increased
competition, and the facilities afforded by capitalists, in the
present abundance of money, to men uf small means and
little responsibility. It is a singular fact that the exports to
India and China—consisting chiefly of gray yarns soul un-
finished coolie, upon which little lalniur is bestowed, and
consequently leaving a smaller proportionate profit to this
country than all other articles—are exactly those which
more or less regulate prices on our Exchange, simply
because the demand from those quarters concentrates itse:f
upon two or three articles, which are ea-ily acted on by spe-
culation. The exports to the United States, which exceeded
for the year 1811 the entire shipments to India and China
by four millions etc ding, have comparativ, ly little influence
even the market, and are scarcely ever mention, d, because
the demand in spread over a variety of finished goods. which I
go through the hands of the dyer, printer, and finisher.
The trade now doing here for the markets which take
finished goods is by nn mem.. coma.' 'erre in I-r.fit to the
producer and shipper with that which now seems to be
doing in the eastern hemisphere."

HOSIERY AND LACE TRADES. NOTTINGHAM,
Nov. 4.—Tee demand for lace is about an average • or for
the wason, but, u production has teen increased this year
by a number of new wide machines, there does not seem to
be quite so great a call for goods as at corresponding periods,
nevertbelem, there is fully as great a quantity sold. The
hosiery trade continues good in all its hr.incires, and large
orders that will occupy a considerable tio.e td comp'.ite are
still coming to hand. The price of yarn is still hardening.
—.Notts Review.

MANUFACTURES.— Bueuror.n, Noy. 4. Yarn. :
There is now no mincing the matter: Wools are evidently
out of all bounds in proportion to the price of yarns, and
the perplexing candition of the spinners continues, and com-
pels them to relax nothing on the notices (or advance given
at the close of last month. Pieces: The manufacturers aver
that they ere doing worse now than they have done for
years, and speak loudly of the nccesaity of stopping looms
and working by daylight only.—llradjurd Obserrer.

WOOL—Bnanronn, Noy. 4.—Tha activity in the sales
by auction of Colonial Wool continues, and Rives a tone of
firmness in the market for all kinds of Eoglish, but the sales
here are materially retarded by the prices sought.—Crad-
ford Obscrrer.

DEVIZZO, Nov. 4.—Owing to Appleshaw fair being held
to-day we had rather a n.anity attendance at our marke; .
Wheat was in moderate supply, the condition was very
bad. but although the trade was heavy, a fair clearance was
made at last week's prices. Barley was in better supply.
the hest molting samples were in demand, and prices were
as good as last weeK, hat the trade was not so brisk; top
price 38s. a qr. Oats were in fair supply, and the best qua-
lity in good demand. Beans dull and rather lower.

Newel:ex, Nov. 4.—The supply of Wheat this day was
considerable, and, being much out et coudition,met a stead
sale, r.t barely the pricts of last week. There WIN a good
supply of Barley, for which high prices were demanded,
which checked the trade, and it closed dull, at late rates.

Uanutnoe, Nov. 4.—The trade for Wheat is rather slack
to-:ley, and, mnit parcels being in damp condition, the sale

and the price the turn lower, from 275. to &is. per qr. In
Oats, B, ans,.and Peas, no variation.
