COTTON.—LivairooL, Ocr. 23.—Our market is quiet
again to-day at yesterday's prices. The sales Sr. 4.0C3 bales,
including 70 American, 23d. to 28d. ; 3,740 Surat, 144 d.
to 18141. ; 120 Egyptian, 130. to 27d. ; 70 Maranbam,
25d., of which 3,000 are for speculation and export. The
week's import is 53,787 bales.

WOOL AND WORSTED.—BRADFORD, Ocr. 23.—The
business doing in wool is very limited indeed. The high
price', which are exceedingly firm, prevent operations
beyond a very limited extent indeed. In yarn, there is a
steady demand for home consumption, and spinners con-
tinue remarkably busy upon old contract.. Export mer-
chants are pushing for the delivery of orders previously
placed, but are doing little in the shape of new business.
This is owing to a certain extent to the necessary closing of
the Russian trade, but also in consequence of the high prices
checking all speculation, and compelling the merchants
to buy only to order. The piece market is exceedingly
quiet. Little or nothing is now doing in plain goods, as
both merchants and drapers at home and abroad are well
stocked with goods at old rates, and the orders hitherto
given in fancies for the spring are very small. The orders
taken by manufacturers before the advance will still require
• few months for completion, and it is to be hoped that
by that time the Confederate government of America may
have succeeded in finding means to carry out their recent
proposition to supply us with cotton, and that a more
general demand for our fabrics may then set in. At pre-
sent, everyone abstains from fresh business.

LACE AND HOSlERY.—Nomxonau, Ocr. 23.
Trade has been exceedingly dull during the past week, sod
we are yet unable to speak hopefully of any branch either
of the kw or hosiery businesses. Notwithstanding a recent
temporary giving way in the price of cotton, it did not exer-
cise the least intiueuce on the quotations for yarns ; in fact,
many splinters declare that they will not re-open their mill■
until they see ► reasonable expectation of profit. Consider.
able depression prevails on all sides ; but it must be remem-
bered that this is the time of the year when the shipments
to America have usually made good the lack of the demand
from other quarters, ►nd that many circumstances have
supervened just now to make it probable that for • few
weeks the trade will be worse than at any subsequent part
of the winter.—Roftinghas Journal.

CORN.—B/RMINGHAII, Ocr. V.—At this day's market
there was a short supply of wheat from the farmers, which
sold at rather over previous currency. Fine barley dearer ;

peas declined Is. per quarter.
BRISTOL, Ocr. 23.—Our market to-day was moderately
supplied with English wheat, which met a fair wile at hut
week's prices. In foreign rather more doing, without alters-
tine in value. Fine malting barleys in request, and la. per
qr. dearer. Grinding qualities sok( freely at a decline of lid.
per qr. Oats slow of sale, and previous values nominally
supported. In Indian corn very little doing.

while other sorts were quite as dear. Flour was in slow
request, without alteration in value. In other articles there
was no variation to notice.

NEWARK, OCT. 22.-At this market there was more dis-
position to purchase dry wheat at the full priors of last

rate supply of wheatfor which there was a steady demand,

trximmxix, OCT. 23.—The moderate supply of wheat at
