MARKETS.

COTTON.—Ltvnaroot, ACOUST 12.—The sales to-day
are estimated at 7,000 bales-3,000 on export, 1,400 nn see.
culation. 730 Pernam and Maranham, at 31d. to 62d. ;
800 Egyptian, at 6d. to 103 d. ; 400 Bunts, at 44. to 414.
The market closed dimly. All kinds are without change,
except Americana, which appear to be creeping up.
MANCHISTWR, AUGUST 12.—The market is not brisk,
hat still there is rather a healthy tone, and prices are well
sustained. The home trade are large buyers of shirting',
and are increasing their purchases of domestics, whilst
printers continue to take off the production of all widths in
the better qualities of printing cloths. The weather is
' rather discouraging, and has made itself felt both in the
home and foreign trade this week, but the fair business
doing on the one band and the stringency of the cotton
market no the other, keep prices well up. The thinning
houses are not doing much business in cloth, compared with
what was expected flora them. In the yarn trade there is
a good demand for medium warp and weft suitable for
home consumption, at Meetly and slightly hardening Wes;
and for eon Mental consumption rather more business is
doing. The houses in the German trade bane taken rather
more yarn during the last frw days, and prices are creeping
un. Stocks are in general very light both in yarn and
cloth, and prices generally appear at present more likely to
advance than to recede.

HOSIERY AND LACE TRADES. Norrcsnitass.
August 12.—There is very little alteration In the state of
the c dton hoeiory manufactures since our last, most
branches, whether made by the new. or old mseltinery,heing
in reth• r a flourishing condition. The silk trade is, on the
contrary, in a most lamentshle 'tete, and many of the glove
bonds are suffering meat in ensely. A new manufacture of
Inilia•rubber stockings has arisen in Detby and Notting-
ham ; they have lung been mode and imported from France
to London ; though very ewe ly, they are recommended by
the French surgeons as a relief in rheumatism, and weak-
ness of the feet and ankles. The bobhin-net trade is gra-
dually improving, but only in some quarters; it is gene-
rally considered that the worst Protein is past. The plain
trade, which is principally for Germany, though dull, is
Ceder than it was some time since.—Neff, Beriew.

WOOL—BIaDVORD, August 12.—The transactions this
week, es in several previous 0n.., have been very inactive,
the spinners being unwilling to Rive the prices sought, and
there is an equal firmness among the loildcrs, oh se pur-
-1 cl.asts have been made at p. Wes that will not admit of •
concession, to induce the consumers to operate—loom the
conflict. Nails and blokes are ready sale, without change
in pricey.—Bradford Observer.

MANUFACTUllllB.—Bitsuroan, August 12.—Yarns.
There are not any better doings for the spinners, the price
of Wool s too high, and completely cuts out all chant* of
profit. The .111 hands hays bon seeking advanced wags',

and a circular is now before the spinners from the wool-
comber* dated the 9th, asking fur an advance on sorts under
4d. of 41. per lb.; from 4d. to 6J., Id. per lb. ; above 6J., 2d.
per lb., to commence from the 1(1:h. An advance of from
121 to 20 per cent, we leer will not, in the present depressed
state of the trade, when the spinners cannot. realise cst, he
fully conteiled. What is to be the upshot all 6, ern at a loss
to know ; fur the shipping houses are debarred (rim buying,
on account of their limits not admitting of the present prices,
and if further additions to the cost of ad. to 6d. per gross
fur advanced labour be added, the spinners' position will be
made much worse, and the chances are, a further stoppage
of machinery will be inevitable, unless a corresponding
advance on Yarns ean be had.—Pieces : There is a full ave-
rage business ditinz, but chiefly confined to the goods of this
district. The circumstance of supplies frum Lancashire
being very meagre (iu consequence of the the very ruin-
ously low prices at which Cobourgs are selling) has de-
terred parties from making their usual supplies, and the
stocks on hand may be considered light, with no propectof
any additonal loom, being added till the prices aurae
nearly eside+,le, east of pi dlitlli.9l in 19,!.sistarel
there is a great demand ; finer kinds are not so wive ; but
for all this class of goods the prices have been, and still are,
very unromunerating. In heavy goods suitable for winter,
all wool, the business is even worse than other cla,ses; the
weight of material hying considerable, the recent advance
in wool ham cut off all margin in the manufactured article.

--11Utirroc, AUGUST 12.-Since our last we have had much
heavy rain, and which still continuos, causing unquestion-
ably serious injury to all grain sod potato crops. We quote
a further advance on English and foreign wheats of 3s. pt r
quarter, and of 2s. to 3s. per sack and 2a. per barrel on
flour. As yet bat little effect has been felt in the value of
spring corn. Barley is about 6d. psi quarter dearer, and
oats in better demand. The following were the prices .-

Divtzus, August 12.-We had a moderate supply of
Wheat for the time of year, and in consequence of the con-
tinued rain of the last few days, and the further reports of
blight and mildew, great excitement prevailed, and much
higher prices were asked ; the result was that a good trade
was done, and a clearance made at from 54 to 61. per qr.
labove the prices of last week; in some instances a greater
advance was obtained, but that was the general rise. 21s.
per sack was currently given for the best red. In Barley
nothing doing. Beans were in better demand, and worth
more money. Oats and Feu no alteration to note. ','heat,

NEWBURY, August 12.—We have had twenty-four hours
of rather heavy rain, which for the present totally susiends
harvest operations. We have had only a moderate supply'
of Wheat, which met a steady sale at 3s. per qr advance.
Spring corn only iu retail demand, but priers remain firm.
Uxnatnoa, August 12.—The prices of Wheat have ad-
vanced 4s. to ifis. per qr., with a brisk demand. The best
price gives is 68s. per qr. new; 61s. light and la rough con-
dition. New winter Oats, 21s. per qr.
WArassfroau, Augut 11.—Our arrivals of foreign corn
continue light, which, added to the improved tone of. the
English intrketa has induced holders of Wheat to demand
an advent', of Sri. to ls. per brl. ; but we have not yet
heard of any sales being made at this improvement. Indian
Corn and Oats sell freely at last week's prem.

Efrixnunen, August 11.—We had rather a smaller mar-
ket to-day. Wheat went up in price about fid per quarter,
and selling much better than last week. Th'-re were 18
quarters of IlelY Barley sold to-day, brineing 295. per qr..

LASOOW, Anne,. 11.—The weather has been unsettled,
preventing much progress being redo with the cutting of
the crepe, which have ripened very rapidly, if not prema-
turely, end harvest is expected to be quite general next
week. At thi. day's market there was about the usual at-
tendance, I ut only a limited business transpired, sales being
checked by the advance required, which wee fully Gil. to Is.
per boll on the prices accepted for Danish What last week,
and as much per barrel and sacs upon Flour. There was
little passing iu Barley, and no alteration to note in its value
or in that of Oats or Beans.

CATTLE.—BRITIORD GREAT 81111 P AND HORAN FAIR,
August 12.—At this fair to-day the number of Sheep on
offer amounted to about 60,000, being about 6,000 to 6,000
low than lost year. The quality of the Shiep was on the
whole of a first•mte description, and, notwithstanding.the
weather was wet and very unfavourable for business, there
I was above an average attendance of buyers. The short
supply was attributable to the abundant supply of keep, and
the sellers present sonsequently demanded advanced terms,
which were readily acceded to on the part of the buyers,
and a good sale followed, at an advance of from Is. to 3s.
'pre head above late fairs, and a thorough elearanee was
effected. The following wore the average priori:—Lambs,
17s. to 335.; ewes, 20s. to 361. and withers from 28s. to lOs.
per head. There were several peas of very fine aid much
admired Ewes and Lambs, to which prises were awarded.
We du not remember a better show of Rams, as to quality,
at this fair, than was exhibited to-day, and a cynsidetohle
amount of business was transacted, both in in gelling and
letting, on terms satisfactory to both buyer and seller. The
supply of Cattle was short, and little business transacted,
but their lull value was obtained where sales transpired.
In the Horse fair there was, as usual, a fair sprinkling of
forest ponies and cart apits,but the show of hacks was of a
I very infeiior character ; and in the two former descriptions
lof animals a fair business was done, but, in the latter very
few salts took place, and prices were of a common-place
character.

Leans, AUOVRT 12.—The supply of horned Cattle
at market yesterday waa rather limited, and although
there was a g .01l attendance of buyers trade waa dull in the
early part of the day, but improved towards the close.
Beasts sold at 61. to 6d. per atone of 161 M.; sheep real-
ised sd. to old., and lambs 51d. to 6d. per lb.

NNWAHIC, AUriNt. 11.—There has been a fair show• of
stock in the market to-day, and a good deal of business
doing, and price* shout the same.—There were 274 Sheep,
29 Besets, and 102 Pigs penned. ..

SA4TI)1111, Augu.t 11.—We were on the whole well sup
plied with Sheep and Llmhs. Beef and Mutton, if prime,
without any quotable change in value. Lamb in fair re-
quoit, but difficult to quit, at former rates.
EDINO IROII, August 11.—The supply of Cattle was le..
this morning, there being 401, or 22 fewer than last week.
Sales dull, and prices rather lower. Top price of Ileef,
7e. 3d. ; current price, from 6.. 6.1. to 7.. ; middling anal in-
ferior sort., from 5.. Gil. to Ge. per Dutch stone. At the
claw of the market a number were unsold. The supply of
Sheep and Lamb. was 5,310, being 324 fewer than hut
week. Sales were very dull, particularly for Sheep. Top
lrice of Mutton, from Mil. to Md.; current price, 4d.;
owest, 3d. per lb. Top price of Lambs, 21a.; current, MA.
to 18e., and down to Bs. fur black faced hill-bred. A num-
ber unsold. _ _

FLLILIRL TM-ST.—The first tryst this season was held
on Tuesday, on S'.enhotis Muir, near to the Lartxrt sta-ion
of the Scottish Central Railway. This tryst is not generally
expected to bring out the largest attendance either on tire
part of buyers or sellers, or even of stock, yet, considering
the season, there was a toleral.le attendance, although the
market on the whole was considered rather an indifferent
• Farmers in some districts, perticulArly the Lothians,
being at the ores, nt time in the very bustle of the harvest,
peer, nte.l the presence of a large number of that class. At
the same time the re was a good display of cattle, and at the I
cornmeneement dealers askNl larger prices for the la tier
I descriptions; and although there was a tolerable demand,
sales we're slow at tint. Later in the day, however, a good
business was done at fair prices. There was a good number
of black cattle un the ground, all of which were sold off
e rly in the slay, and fetched good prices. A lot of mots,
ale,ut the hest in the market, was sold at 15 guineas each.'
we may also notice the following sales: A lot of queys at
11/. each, and a lot of 31 Angus polled rattle at 13/. per head.
