COTTON GOODS.

liagOrtnallth, 00r. O.—Basins,' is dun, both In are
and *loth, and the entire transactions of the week have been
on a small scale. Prices have still a downward tendency,
and but for many rather considerable contracts obtained by
manufacturers and spinners in the earlier part of the last
month, and which extend over weeks and in some cases
longer periods, the prints of goods must have thirsted more
seriously. At present the value of fine 27-inch printing
cloths, suited to the American market, his scarcely under-
gone a change, and T cloths end long cloths, though much
neglected by buyers, have not declined more than might be
eff irded at the lower prices now asking for cotton. The
cloths which have felt the depression ninth market most are
India shirting' and jacconets, and the value of the tomer may
be stated at about 3d. per piece under the prices ruing a
few weeks ego. Offers have been made, however, at much
lower rates. In yarns, the low counts of mule and water
twist have maintained their value best, being only about id.
per lb. lower from the point attained last month, while'
medium counts of mole ye.rn for India, such as 40's and
501 i, are 11. per lb. lower. Water twist from 16's to 30's
are about id. per lb. cheaper. The high rate of discounts
adopted by the Bank of England is exercising considerable
influence on business transactions in this market, by com-
pelling mercantile men and manufacturers to narrow credits.
None tut short-dated paper meets acceptance at the high
discounts demanded, and restrictions tending to narrow the
means of trade are being adopted in all directions. Writing
upon this subject yesterasy, Messrs. Stay rt, Z:frOnlall, and
Cu., the American house, in their trade circular addressed to
foreign correspondents, " per Atlantic," remark that the
restriction on long, dated paper may probably have a whole-
some effect in limiting epeeist i ins for distant markets, which
have been somewhat over.upplted through the facilities
afforded by long-dated and renewed acceptances. They add,
however, " Whilst writing, it is offically announced that the
directors of the Bank of Minims!, at thou board meeting
yesterday, again railed their minimum rate of discount,
which now stands at 61 per cent. per annum. It is at the
same time rumoured that, in the lace of a nonhuman, rising
money market, it is arranged that bills having more than
two months to run win not for the present be convirtible,
however unquestionable, unless at rates which will folly
anticipate any probable future advance. If this should
prove to be correct, the commerce of the country cannot fail
to be materially impeded ; and it is said that the bankers and
others do not approve of this last act of the Bank, consider-
ing it uncalled for by the general circumstances of the
country, or scarcity of floating capital."

COTTON.—LivxatooL, Oct. o.—The market closed
very heavily, end prime of ell kir.de are unchanged. The
Wee are 6,000 bales-1,600 for export, and the remainder
to the trade. Comorifong 40 Pernam and Matanham, at
61d. to 61d. ; 200 Egyptian st 614. to 61d.; 1,000 Surat,

I bales.

WOOLLEN.-I,suna, Ocr. 6.—Thera was no noticeable
alteration in the state of our market this morning, as xm•
pared with that of Tuesday. The basine•s done in both
the coloured and white cloth halls was about an ge at
this season—heavy goods being principally in demand

HARD WARE. —Bunt trio AY, OCT. 6.—The trade of
this town continues in a tolerably healthy state, though
it is not what may be considered brisk; the factors still
report the improvement of the home trade; the country
shopkeepers are ordering with more freedom, especially,
articles in general domestic use, which is some evidence that
the condition of the country is healthier. The military gun
trade is of course brisk ; the contract fur MiniEs for the
Canadian volunteers will be very soon completed, but the
execution of it has not in the slights% degree interfered
with the fulfilment of the contract with the department of
Ordnance, entered into some time since, and which it is
expected will remain in force for a considerable period. The
quarterly meetings of the ironniesters take place this week,
and it is understood that an attempt will be made to raise
the price of bus to IW. a ton. Staffordshire pigs of the beat
quality are in demand, at 51. per ton.

GLOVCIaTIR, Oor. 6.—We have had a large supply of
new English wheat at this day'. market—old may now be
considered; exhausted—farmers demand very tun prices,

GUILDFORD. OCT. 6.—The arrival of wheat to-day was
large. In consequence of demand for Feed, prices advanced

NEWCASTLE UPON-TYNE, Ocr 6.—The weather up to
Thursday was of a very unsettled character, and much
against our harvest prospects. hut nu have since had drying
winds, which are so tenurial far re-toting the bad condi-
tion of the grain. The ludo during the grunt week has
been enarecterised by leas activity, and, with lib. ral sr-
! rivals of new wheat, our millers have succeeded in beating
down prices of this description tabour ls. per qr , but there
has been no anxiety on the part of factors to force buainess,
from ,au impression; that the very moderate eondi.ion of
our own growt% must inevitably create a large demand for
south country qualities, fully egos!, in fact, to any quantity
that may be sent to this unmet; choice no yellow has
been parted with at 845., best rune, at 82s. to 83s , and
coarse down to 80a., all weighed 631b5., whereas old
Danish not sweet has been sold at Ms. ; extra
Fehmern, at 86, , and other sorts in proportion.
Flour being still short of pretest Irequiremeuts, has been
placid without difficulty at 696. to 60.., and whites up to
631. Eye worth 525. New malting barley has found
buyers at 40s. to 44r. according to quality, and fine old
Norfolk at 40a. Melt still tending upward, and the same
remarks will apply to other articles. At our market tt. is
morning we had a moderate stow of wheat from the growers,
and notwithstanding its various condition, sales were
quickly effected at the full tatre of this day ae'nnight. As
showing the great margin between the highest sod lowest
point, the price of red ranged from 48s to 80a ; seed samples
coramandiog from 84.. to 86a. For new south country we
experienced more enquiry, prime yellow making 84e., very
extra 85s whilst the coarser kinds sold trim 80s. to 82a.,
according to quality. In old Norfolk or foreign little vu
done, the bign figures demanded acting as • temporary
barrier to business. Daring the week a little from Music
was retailed out at 88-., bat to-day 90s. was required.
Floor eery scarce, and mush wanted, households being
worth 69 t. to 605., sod whites 62r. to 63e. In rye little
stirring. New malting barley in request, end, in the absence
of anything fine, bulbs. to 5210 e. qualities were taken at 40a.
to 425., whereas 631bs. to 641ba. would have readily brought
441. Malt still tending upward. Boiling pinshave been
gradually creeping up in value, and choice boilers are now
saleable at 634. to 445. 0.(1 beans s !sates and dearer. With
oats we were sparingly supplied, and, having an improved
inquiry, prime were rather higher; no old Scotch on sale;
a parcel of fine old sweet Holstein, weighing 401b5., sold at
33.. to-day. The arrivals this week are: Wheat, coastwise,
4,023; foreign, 310; barley, coastwise' 194; foreign, 110;
malt, coastwise, 90 ; oats, coastwise, 730; foreign, 450; peas,
foreign, 165 ; Boar, 790 sacks.

NOMPICII, Oct. 6.—Our market to-day wee well supplied
with wheat, condition scarcely so good as heretofore. There
wsa a fair oonenmptive demand, and prices did not change at
all. Flour was is slow demand, but lower prices would not
be accepted by the millers.AS Salty : trade firm for all fine
deseriptioas, but secondary soil inferior so-to were rather
easier to purchase. There wu a good supply, and a fair
quantity clamed hands. Beans and pees were iv gaited
atter, and sold freely at late rates. Oats were I. good sup-
ply, and demand quite equal to supply ; in pries no change.
We do not alter our quotation for any article.

FET3II/1011000H, OCT. 6.—llavifig only • moderate
supply of wheat here to-day, prices are somewhat higher ;

one sample superior fetched 94.. Quality of barley tore-
but the demand good, and prices firm. No alteration
in other corn.

WIbBZCIT. OCT. 6.—Wo aro fairly supplied with wheat
at to-day's market, sad it meets a free sale at lest week's

L. 3d. to 10. 4d. per stone. Beans, 481. to 61s.
WORCII3Tia, OCT. 6.—At this day's market there was a
fair supply of wheat, which was cleared off at Is. to 2s. per

Yostx, OCT. B.—We have had only a andante show of '
wheat at market today, and, the ennead befog slow, a

in August, followed by warm, brigbt weather, so 111
the ripening process, that about the 25th of Augur,
