dew e'en by the fine and apparently settled harvest
imam., which has set in, and which has been all but oat
venal throughout the country. Prodncers have been de-
, I mending more money (in consequence of a trifling rise in
I the raw msterial), which was resisted at the ccmmencement
of the week, and is given reluctantly now. '1 as full rates
demanded last week, h , and which selers had then
home dilliculty in ,btaining, are uow resdi:y g:vec, and to this
latent me:utters have secured an advantage. For clotba
the principal tiemand has then in 4') lac') ihirticias,
to the India trade. At Calcutta, according to Lot advisee,l
there had been large 511,11, but without tee improved rates,
which exporters had been led to expect at preview dates.
At Bombay, values had taken an upward direction,
both in yarns and cloth, and though prices there
are still low, and would scarcely cover shipment.
at the rates now ruling in this -market, the
*deices have, on the whole, led to more activity among
shippers. The week's business has not been on a large
scale in shirting', but for favourite malc.s, under contract,
manufacturers have obtained rather better prices. There
has been more inquiry for domestics, also, and heavy makes
of these cloth., coarse T cloths, and some makes of long
iclotho, have gone off to a fair latent at list quotation,.
A little advance has been found practicable in Name elutes
of printing cloths, such as 27-inch 66-reed goads, and •
moderate business has been done in other descriptions
where last week's rates were acceptable. For yarns there
is an improved demand, both from home consumers and
exporters, particularly for mule twist of helm qualities,
which are j t. to V. per lb. hither, whilst warps and pin-
cops are reported at about id. advance on late quotation,.

WOOLLEN CLOTH.—Lzans, AUGUST 18.—We bays

there has been considerable animation; a good attendance
of buyers imparted much activity, and a full average busi
ness in nearly all kinds of goods that have lately been in
active demand has been transacted. Tweeds continue in
large request at higher prices. In the white cloth hall
there hes been a f.,ir ordinary market; medium cloths
and eight-quarter coatings have constituted the bulk of the
business.

GLOUCESTIR, An°. 18.—Wheat cutting is now general

Nowearrot-rPote-Tvxs, Avo. 18.—With the exception
of Tuesday, when we experienced a drizzling rain, the wea-
ther this week has been exceedingly favourable; and
although our harvest proxpects are improved, so far as this
locality a concerned, still it would be idle to suppose that
injury has not been sustained by the late inclement weather.
Our advice' from the south speak rather disenuragingly
upon the matter ; still let us hope that a merciful Providence
will give such weather from henceforth as may not injure
the crops to a greater extent then at present is the ease.
The trade during the present week has Leen characterised
by great inactivity, and to make progress in sales of wheat, it
has been unavoidable to accept a reduction of 1ct029. rer qr.;
at the same time, however, there has been no pressure, owing
to the little fresh wheat held here. In South Country qua
fides scarcely a transtetion has transpired, but in the early
part of the week a parcel of very superior Fifeshire yellow
was disposed of 775. per qr., 631 b,. per bushel, wh he

NORWICH, Avo. 18 —The past week has been ell that
could be desired for the maturing of the growing crops, and
in the early districts harvest has commenced. The reports
generally speak favourably of *he growing crops. There is
a small amount of defect, which every year is apparent, but
the beat informed men speak confidently of an aversge yield
The trade tencisy was languid, at Is. per qr. below the prices
of last week, and a fair quantity changed hands at the reduc-
tion. Flour tilde brisk at Is. per seek decline. Barley trade

RZADINO, Ana. 18.—The supply of wheat has been
short, the deluged for which was very slow, in consequence
of the depressed state of markets during the week in Lon-
don and elsewhere. Prices must be quoted from le. to 2..

weather throurhout the week has enabled our farmers to
make considerable progress with the h . Respieg is
now general, but it is too only to report on either quality
or yield of any crepe. A few samples of tawny eta. which

ked a goal inquiry, but, the quantity held being ry small,
few transactions have recurred; them were et former arias.
