MARKETS.

COTTON. LIVERPOOL, Auotror 19. We have had
arin an excited market and a further adverb*. in prices-
-2.1. per lb. on American, Id. per lb. on Brasil, and
on Egyptian and Surat, exporters and spondatom buying
freely. The saes are 22,000 bales, of- which 16,000 are for
export and speculation.
COTTON GOODS.—Mcircßeares, Annum 19.—T1e
extraordinary activity at Liverpool in the cotton market this
week, and the consequent rise in prices, has naturally had •
stimulating effect on this market, so far as quotations are
concerned, but it checks business. The sales of cotton yd-
today were 30,000 bales, at an advance of id. per lb. on
Surds, to 2d. on American. To-day the telegrams report
the sales at 22,000 bales, with a further advance of Id. per
lb. The yarn market here has been very excited all day, in
fact almost wild, and prices have advanced 2d. per lb. upon
the rates of Friday. The advance has, in • mea-
sure, put • stop to beside., but there have been •
few buyers bold enough to purchase even at these
high rates, and are evidently willing to operate
still further. Spinners, however, are bolding back,
and in many cases are unwilling to sell at the advance.
The amount of business is reported to have been small. In
cloths' the effect bas been mach the same as in yarns.
Manufacturers and holders of stock instructed their agents
yesterday very geneially to withdraw their goods from the
market, or to offeethem only at • • considerable advance.
The further ries of cotton to-day has caused this policy to
be carried to a further extent. Generally speaking, where
sellers are willing to quote their prices, they ask 14 per lb.
advance, or 9d. to 12d. per piece. The market for cloth, as
well as that for yarn, ham bees very excited, but without
resulting is math business. Some little business, however.
bas been effected in shirtless, hinting cloths, and
long and T cloths, where sellers have been wil-
ling to take something under extreme rates-
One ei the sad effects of the cotton famine is that it will
throw bask late poverty a greet number of working men
who had invested the savings of a frugal and .reseal life in
the conpsnative storm and cotton mills, of whilltllo many
have ennui into *IMMO, in this district daring-the lad
few years. At Rochdale, end down the vale d the Calder,
beyond Todisordeo, sad up the vale of the Lime% 'mood
Rory, a number of these opeedatloas have keen started,
and some el them are reported to have paid good dividends.
There are also building • washer et very large mills in
lime sedikboldhoods on the primly's, some el width have
advanced far towards couipletioe. The Aden an mrelly
shoat 101. soak, and in some awe hell the mossy

hes been paid up. Many of these shares are
sow selling We. pee share, owing to the inability
of the holders to meet further malls, and they will probably
yet go lower. The result will be that many of the opera-
tives who ware thus in a fair way of providing for Milne,
Walsh bang now suddenly deprived of work, will be moo
better pomace than their thnftless fellow workmen who
have lived up to their weans, and made no attempt to save.
We already hear of espitaliate being in the &LI. who will
get a good portion of the property in their hands fora trifle,
and, being able to hold it till better times, may be able to
make a good thing of it. Captain Yalio's weekly returns of
the state of employment in the mills at Manchester, issued
to-day, show that there are 11,883 wholly out of employ,
against 11,593 last week. In other respects the return is
(avowable, the number in full employ being 32,121 against
21,993 last week, and the number on short time being
13,990 against 14,454 last week.

WOOLLEN CLOTIL—LionA, Auccor 19.—There wu
ito great amount of busiest, transacted in the markets this
moraiug ; the attendance both of buyers tad *idlers was
limited, especially in the coloured ball, and riot much dispo-
titian to operate wu maaifeated. Several fair parcels ut
tweeds changed beads, aid • few fancy coatings. Prices
remain very firm, sad are likely to do so with cotton at its
present advanced. quotation. Is the white hall, there was
somewhat more activity displayed. Autumn fabrics in
various styles were freely iaqured for.
