COTTON.—Linaroot., Ammar 16.—We have had •
good demand again to-day, and with large sales at dearer
prices. The Wee are 15,000 bales, hicioding 3,150 Maori•
aka, l&L to 90d. ; 8,000 Surat, 12id. to tOd. ; 2,000 fa p•
tian, 16411. to 21d. ; Yoram, 194 d. ; 1,300 Bahia, 18jkl.
to 194. ; of which 9,000 are for we:nation and export.

COTTON GOOD6.—Maitcgurreg, ACCOST 16.—The
yarn and cloth markets close this week with • decided
strengthenieg of prices. The gradual but continuous de-
crease of production, through the stoppage of more mills
every week in every part of the cotton district' is bringing
the supply mom to a level with the demand, whilst the
'dykes from Bombay and Calcutta of a more active busi-
ness and •• considerable advisee of prices give promise of
more business and more remunerative prices here. At Fs.
sent, however, buyers are rather shy. They seem un-
willing to follow the upward course of prices, and
have teen that u the cotton in transitu from
India arrives there will be • reaction. What busi-
DSO is doing, however, is quoted at higher prices.
Cotton Tarns are id. to id. per lb. higher than on Tuesday.
The burner for India is checked by these extreme prices,
but Blackburn 32's Dave been in some request from the
home trade at id. advance. Doubl: d yarns are dearer, but
the advance checks business. Yarns are repotted scarce,
and generally, though badness is quiet, spinners are firm
and the marketreported strong. For cloths manufacturers are
eking an advance of 3d. in shirting', and cu.) who are
willing to take rather less extreme prices have been able to
do burners, though the aggregate salesin cloth are reported
to have been very moderate during the week. The opera-
tions of the Manchester Cotton Company are not regarded as
very promising for an immediate supply of cotton. They do
not profess to grow it, but only to give facilities for cleaning,
pressing, packing, and shipping it. They have sent out two
ship loads of machinery, appointed agents, commenced
buildings at S dsahegur to bold presses which will press a
bale • minute, but unfortunately the road from this bey,
which is understood to be admirably adapted to their ob-
ject, to Dharwar (the best cotton district in India) over the
Kygah Ghent, made by government, having been inefficiently
and slovenly executed haa been to a great extent wastr.d
away during the monsoon, and will take two years tore-
construct in a proper manner. After an expenditure of
39,0001. this is disheartening, and so far as our immediate
wants are concerned it seems unlikely that the operations of
the company will have effected much good.

WOOLLEN.—Lane, AUGUST 16.—The parkas this
morning were well attended, and there was decidedly a
better feeling manifested. In the coloured hall, several
large loth of tweeds and fancy coatings (especially I the
former) met with a ready sale ; there was alio s. fair demand
for low melbas. Prices continue firm in all classes of goods.
In the white ball there was a spirited inquiry for witneys
in various styles, and far otter autumn fabrics. Not much
was done in white cloths. A few shawls are DOW clanging
hands, principally cheeks.

HARDWAAL—Biertheonsc, Avoca 16.—The trade
al this town has improved since our last report. The prin-
cipal branches in which the re-action has been most appa-
rent are the metal trades, in which there is said to be much
more doing, the rolling mills being in more active operation.
The same with regard to the edge-tool manufacture, some
of those engaged in it have at least a month's orders on
their books, a coosideralde portion of these being for the
foreign markets. In the plating trades there is also more
animation, after a very dull seamen in that brooch. The
tin-plate workers are moderately busy ; the button trade
continues somewhat depressed, some thooses are, how-
ever, kept steadily going to a 'great extent by
government work. As to the gam trade, there has been
DO change for a long time ; in every branch of it the nom
are fully employed. The number of 1111/141311 out of work in
the town is comparatively small, neither are there very
many on short time. In the stated the various staple trades
of the district there has not been much change of Woe.
In some of the most important branches, the saddles' kat-
moeriry trade of Wahatt for instance, there is a steady
amount of busioess doing. The foundries ere in tolerably
'Wilcock ; the same as to the hollowware trade : for railway
fittings the orders in are only moderate ; the chain trade is
&premed, am is also the nail trade all over the dist
except as regards csit-naile, for which thee is a pretty
demand. At Stoorbridge and the aeighbourhood bummer
is quiet, but there are not a groat number of pawn out of
employment. The out trade in the districts east and west
of Dudley is brisk ; the colliers are all in full work.

CORN.—Catontman, doom? 16.—We bad heavy rein
yesterday end all to-day, still the market was not (lc -me
for wheat ; the oondition of the new was wary indifferent.
Wheat, 56.. to 61s. Oats, 255. to 28a. Beans, 42.. Peas, 44..
CARLISLE, AUGUNT 16.—We had • small supply of
all kinds of pain at our market to-day. Wheat
met • slow tale, and last week's prices were
barely maintained. Oata were somewhat slow of sale,
at an advance of fully 6d. per Oaths'e bushel over
last week's zeta. Barley slow of isle, at last week's
prices. Wheat, white, new, 22.. 61. to 244. 6d.; old,

Coweeerza, Aucuer 16.—Bet few wimples of wheat
either new or old ; the prime desnandcd being very high,
the little business transacted woe at en &dramas of fully la.
Pees command frll prices. Weather very uotavourable for
harvest work.

GUILDFORD, AUGUST 16.—The supply of wheat to-day
was more liberal, with one parcel of new Talavera, which
does not equal last year's quality. The uesetticd weather
canted buyers to pp...chase more freely at an advance of
from Is. to 2s. per qr. over the rates of L week.

money. Barley rather dearer for good samples. Oata and
beans firm at late rates. Wheat, mixed, 40s. • white, 42a.
per load. Barley, 26e. to 36e. per qr. Oata;2oe. to 28e. ;
fine, 30s. per qr.
LEICERTRR, AIGJST 16.—There was a small supply of
wheat on offer to•day.. Harvest has commenced in this
county, but the late rains have somewhat checked opera-
tions. Farmers to-day realised fully late rates for wheat ;
white made 60a. to 655.; red, 5.5 e. to 60s. per 36 stone. Of
barley the supply wee short, and late currencies were fully
realised ; grinding, 30e. to 32e. per 30 atone ; malting, 36e.
to 40e. per quarter. For oats the inquiry was brisk, sod
late rata were mostly exceeded ; new, 24a. to 301. per 24
stone. •

NSWCABTLI, AtICUST 16.—At our market this morning
we had a better supply of wheat from the growers, but,
such descriptions Wog wanted, • clearance wrs early
effected at rather over the rates of this day &insight, whilst
extra south country varieties, on account of their scarcity,
realised an advance of Is. per qr., extra south country
yellow reaching 625., sod Suffolk white 655. per 5041 b. In
foreign • large busioess was spin &me. Flour must be
written Is. per seek dearer, with rather more stirring.
Grinding barley wanted. In malt, beans, or peas little done.

---
NORWICH, AUGUNT 16.—From the very limited sup-
ply of wheat at market to-day, the farmers demanded
extravagant prices, which the millers were not disposed to
g.ve, and very little Muineas was consequently done.
Sairosly anything doing in any other grain, and no alte-
ration in the price of dour. White wheat (weighing 621bs.
to Ma.), 60a. to 63a. ; red ditto (weighing 621bs. to 6311 g.),
575. to 595. per qr. Flour, 395. 6d. to 40e. per rack.
NOTTINGHAM, AUGUST 16.—The supply of wheat W 24
moderate. Since last week the weather has been unsettled,
and the crops make slow program. The demand ruled
steady at an advance of ls. per quarter ; white samples made
58s. to 6.15. ; red, 58e. to 61s. per 36 stone. There was a
limited show of barley, which met a steady sae, and prices
were unaltered ; grinding, 30a. to 325. ; foreign. 32a. to 38a,
per quarter. The show of oats was meagre. sod the inquiry
proved healthy at extre ne quotations; old, 30s. to 35e.;

Ovroao, Avow? 17.—A thin market to-day, consequent
upon farmers being busy with harvest, and yet there were
many samples of good wheat offering. White wheat ruled
from 56.. tol3os. ; red wheat from 50s. to Ms. Barley
none, neither old nor new ; oats from 223. to 335. • Beene,
40e. to 445. ; peas, 40s. to 425. ; Flour (sscoads) .40s. per
sick.

ltitaturna, Auouwr 16.—There was only a short supply
of wheat at our market this morning and only a limited
attendance. Business was very dull in consequence of the
unfavourable reporta as to the harvest and the bad weather,
holders asked for an advance, but the market must be quoted
firm at last wock's rates. In other articles the trade was
purely of a nominal character.
ROCHILSTER, Auourr 16.—There wan • good show of
wheat, and several new samples have been brought to
market, all of which are in fine condition. For every thing
of a superior description an ad canoe of fully le. per quarter
was obtained, best white making figs. to Ws., and rid 54a.
to 68s. per quarter; inferior and secondary white was 50a.
to 584., and red 48s. to 54e. per quarter. In foreign there
was • rather improved trade at Is. to 2a. per quarter more
money. In consequence of the favourable reports of the
barley crop priors fell to 6d. to Is. per quarter, but this
concession did not lead to much business. The oat trade
was very quiet, and only best samples were 'noticed, those
bbe.eiongsdhoonewen,
atabout 6d. per quarter more money.
Wisaeca, AUGUST 16.—The last two or three days have
but with no great weight of rain and but
little sun, cousequendy not much progress made in harvest
work. Supply of old corn to-day very short and all in de-
mand. Wheat Ia per qr. dearer, and oats fetched rather
more money. A emplace two of new wheat and oats were
offering—condition of the wheat bad. Prices to the
grower :—Wheat, white, We. to Bh, 631 be. per bushel; red
