MARKETS.

COTTON.—LIVEII.POOL, SEPT. 3.—The market closed
very heavily, although prices have not changed since yes-
terday. The sales amounted to 6,000 bailee, chiefly Awe
rican, 1,500 of which have been taken for export ; 400 bales
Surat sold to the trade at 31 to 1i per lb.
MANCHISTIR, SEPT. 3.—The business in yarns has been
very moderate, and prices of counts below 60's are now
fully id. per lb. on the average below the highest ratesl
lately current. These include warps, cops, and bundled
yarn : pin cops for domestics are in some cages id. per lb
below the rates lately current. Mr. Handley, in his
monthly price current of this mouth, attributes this decline
in some measure to the resumption of labour at Stockport,
by the strike at which place, he says, these yarns had been
rendered scarce, and had been unduly enhanced in value.
Ile says, " The demand for Germany has been continuous
during he whole month : for Italy and the Levant business
is assuming a livelier aspect," and " for Russia a fair
amount of orders has been placed." But " the home trade
has been the most active during the month; and of
line numbers, and medio-twist, the Scotch tomato
are still baying largely" We may add that mast
kinds of yarn of the better qualities are firmer than those
made from commoner cotton, and fine multi, including
doubled yarns, are scarce, with spinners well engagtd to
order. The prices of cloth have been rather better main-
tained than those of yarn—the descriptions in which a
weakness has manifested itself being chiefly confined to
thine for India, China, and the United States markets, la-
coding the better makes of shirting, for the former, and
na.row muslins (printed) for the latter. Printing cloths
generally are very firm in vale*, more especially the better
qualities. Domestics retain their late values, but are unre-
munerative at that ; and, whilst some thousands of looms
are idle, others ere likely to become so, if the operatives
persist in the demand they hays revived for increased
wages. Messrs. Du Fay and .30., after noticing the influ-
ence which the increased demand for money and its conse-
quent increased dearness has had in bringing
about the present restriction of business, sod
the surprise which the present state of things
must cause amongst those who imagined that the
gold discoveries would insure its cheapness, observe :
" Our market here is in an anomalous state ; the producers
of yarns and goods are paying an alliance of about 10 per
cent. on wages, while they will have to meet with great
difficulties to maintain present prices. The accumulation
of stocks has so far been prevented, partly by au active
demand in the earlier months of this year, and partly by •
reduction in the production of textile fabrics, caused by the
' turn-outs ' and strikes, and abort-time working. Even
where the advance of wages is granted, and the masters
show a disposition to meet the workpeople fairly, the quail.
titles got from the looms and spindles are not as large as
formerly. The emigration of able•bod ed men to Australia
and California has improved the position of the working
men greatly, by enhancing wages throughout the labour
market ; which acts as a boon to our foreign competitors,
who for the present are able to employ workpeople at much
lower rates. The export trade to nearer markets is, by this
state of things,interfered with, which is to be regretted, par-
ticularly as the remittances in return far our exports are
received with greater promptitude than from our more dis-
tant easterners. While our imports of food and of number-
less other artic'es have been very large this year, our ex-
port trade has not been proportionately as great; whether
this is owing to higher prices of yarns and goods, or to the
production not exceeding that of last year, is difficult to
say." The price of cotton at Liverpool has given way
very little during the week, though the purchases from the
trade have been limited. The first bale of the new crop
had been received at Mobile on the 7th ult., arid nee•
Texas cotton had reached New Orleans on the 9th, but the
estimates of the crop are not of a character yet to have
much effect on prices.

WOOLLEN CLOTIL—Lzahs, Sert. 3.—We have no
change to report in the state of the woollen cloth market.
There has been a good business done in the cloth halls to-
day at firm prices. Stocks are exceedingly low. Several
buyers from London and other parts of the country have
been in the town during the week, which has caused great
activity in the warehouses. There is also rather more
doing in the shipping trade ; recent arrivals from Australia
have brought some respectable orders into the town from
that colony. The trade generally continues steady and
good.

HARDWARE.—BIIIMINGUAK, Serf. 3.—There has
bees no alteration of any kind in the state of trade hens
since our lest report. The manufacturers are all very full
of orders, we are informed. It may be interesting to notice
another addition, and one of a novel character, to Bir-
mingham manufactures Mr. William Potts, whose pro-
ductions, um quailed in his line, occupied so prominent a
place in the Exhibition of 1851, has just introduced a new
application of the electro deposit cystitis it is associated with

various coloured inatbles—tesglioli, or artificial stone,for the
purposes of tablets. mommtents, and other form of mural
commemoration. The examples exhibited, and sent a day
or two since to the Dublin Esnibittun tell very favourably,
being chaste, t 1.-gent, and appropriate In 6. sign ; carefully
deposited, and the colour good : an attempt lies been made
to depart from the .id use and wont in such ulatten, and a
very sum raid attempt it is. As it appvars to us, the great
merit of the invent on will be this—thin when the produc-
tion is bison systematically, the inventor would be able
to produce really artistic work at • eumparstively small
cost; fur that reason alone monuments of this character
will be likely to come into general use especially as
bring better and more suitable remembrances than those
now adopted. To convey an idea of these new specimens we
, may state that the back, sl►b, and brackets are formed of
meta.. In some instances these ar• I warble, and the figures platy/NI thereon are deposited in
in complete relief; in
others a basso relievo treatment has been adopted and
artistically tarried out ; • nice proportion having been
observed in the projection of the several figures (Ws true
secret of succew in this style of art) ; in short, a.together
this new idea and the specimens produced are so nottel, so
unique, and such as advance in a sadly neglected branch,
that the ingenious inventor deserves to meet success in his
attempt to remodel what has up to this time been unworthy
of a nation pretending to the civilisation and enlightenment
of England.

CORN —C•wnittnoz,Sept. 3.—Several samples of new
Wheat were offered to-day anti sold at improved rates. We

COLCHESTER, Sept. 3.—An increased supply of new and
old Wheat, the sale slow at Is. advance. Barley much
enquired after, with but very little offering. Beans and
Peas short, the former Is. to 2s. d and the latter ob-
tained full prices.

Gummi:lran., Sept. 3.—To-day is fine, but much rain has
Fallon in the week. Farmers supplied us freely with English
Wheat, which sold readily at about last week's prices, and
no advance could be established en foreign. Grinding
Barley as before ; some inquiry for malting. Beans and
Oats unchanged. Imports of the week : Wheat, 1,364 qn. ;
Barley, 2,166; Oats, 5,717 ; Beaus, 174.

GUILDFORD, Sept. 3.—We continue to receive plentiful
supplies of old, but little new Wheat. That sorts were in-
panted fur, and a further improvement of 2s. per qr. we,
realised. Some Sue new made 719. and 725. NVheat, eld,

11111TPOILD, Sept. 3.—The market to-day was well sup-
plied with both old and new Wheat, trade not brisk, still
last week's prices were well supported. Barley made fully
as much money. Oats, Peas, and Beans, net brisk, still
prices were well supported. Wheat, 30.. to 41s. per load.

20s. to 25e. per load. Beans, 2'2a. to 275. Tares, 255. to
30s. Rye, 18s. to 21s.
NEWCASTLE•CPON-TTNE, Sept. 3.—The weather this
week has been of a very unsettled character ; a good deal of
rain has fallen, but, as the temperature has been low, no
injury has been sustained, the only inconvenience being the
protrsction of harvest operations, which have been at a
comparative stand-still since our last. The trade during
the present week has maintained a steady aspect, and we
have to note a further advance or Is. per qr. upon Wheat,
and 2s. per seek upon Flour, at which improvem-nt a steady
business has been done, the demand being at the same time
exclusively of a consumptive character. For the best runs
of Norfolk red, weighing 6911)4. per bushel, 60s. to 61s. was
acquired ; extra, 63r. ; while sweet Danish eummivatleil 565.
to o7s. . • chambered parcels, not quite fresh, 545. ; Stral-
sund, 625. ; and Rostock, 641. per qr., weighing 631ba. per
bushel. Grinding Barley has sold slowly, hut the better
descriptions of tourists have met attention from our maltsters,
choice Danish being taken at 324.,weighing 53:bs. to 54Ibs
bushel naturally. Malt has sold at an enhancement of 2s.
per qr., extra qualities being readily saleable at 61.. per qr.
In other articles little change has occurred. At our market
this morning ;owing to the Duke of Northumberland's audit
being close at hand, we had a very large delivery of Wheat
from the growers, in fact such a supply as we never recol-
lect to have witnessed so late in the season, and thus fur-
nishing incontestable evidence of the extraordinary produce
of last year, but from the coast as well as from abroad the
arrival, are much more moderate than of late. Our farmers
commenced by asking meet extravagant rates, which caused
the market to open sluggishly, but eventually they slack-
ened in their pretensions, when a clearance was ef-
fected at the full terms of this day se'nnight.
In south country or foreign.but few transactions occurred,
holders being unwilling to part with their stocks excepting
at a further advance; for some fine Danteic 655. was ob•
taMed. Flour was held with considerable firmness, but
only a limited business resulted. New Rye was isquired
fir. Grinding Barley without alteration. Malting qua-
lities are wanted, but it is too early yet to give quotations.
Fine old Malt still pointing upwards ; fer a very choice lot
of Suffolk 65.. was procured to day. In Beans or Peas little
stirring. With Oats we were scantily supplied by our
growers, and, although the arrivals coastwise show au irn•
portant initial( off, the trade was no better than on this day
se'nsight, chambered parcels with a slight smell being most
difficult to quit. The arrivals this week are : Wheat, coast-
wise, 708 qrs. ; foreign, 40; Itve, coastwise, 70; Barley,
foreign, 400; Malt, coastwise, 60 ; Oats, coastwise, 1,248 ;
foreign, 25 ; Flour, 1,307 sacks.
Nuawiett, Sept. 3.—During the past week the weather
has been unfavourable for securing the Corn, and with the
exception of Wednesday nothing has been carted in good
order. The accounts of the yield are various but from
what we can learn there will be a fair average produce, but
the acreage beiug small a short supply must inevitably be
felt before the year is gone. To-day our market commenced
by farmers asking 2s. to 3s. per qr. advance on the prices
of this day se'imight, and in some instance- succeeded, but
such an abundant supply as we had soon turned the *male,
and at the dose the price was a trifle in favour of the buyer.
We do not alter eyepiece. Flour was in slow request at
last week's rates. Barley trade not begun at present—a
• few samples of new shown, which are much interior to
what was anticipated, and with this fickle weather there
! will be a great deal stained and grown. Beans and Peas
maintained their previous prices. Oats were a very small
supply, but the eemand being small, no change in prices.

DIANCHESTSH, SEPT. 3.—The weather during this week
has been unsettled, Thursday being wet throughout. During
the same period the trade has ruled rather less active than
previously, the dealers and bakers continuing to purchase
flour very cautiously for their present use only, but sellers
have exhibited unabated firmness and in the business trans.
acted a further improvement in prices has been obtained.
Oats and oatme•il have been in moderate requrst at fully
the previous currency. The imports of foreign wheat sod
flour into Liverpool are again on a liberal scale, and fair of
beans and Indian Cora: but the arrivals from ether sources
continue light. At our market this morning, the weather
being finer, there was only a limited amount of business
transacted in wheat and flour. In accordance with the ad-
vance established during the week, however, we raise our
quotation on th se articles Id. and 2,1. per 701ba., and 6,1.
to Is. per sack and 6d. per barrel respectively. Oats and
oatmeal met a steady consumptive demand at full rates.
Beans must be noted Is. to 2s. per qr. higher.

PETERPOKOUGH. Sept. 3.—There was a good supply of
old and new Wheat here today, and both descriptions
could be bought from Is. to 2s. per qr. lower than last week ;
tine new yellow Wheat, weighing 63 lbs. to 64 lbs. per
bushel, making from 595. to 61s. per qr. Several samples
of new Barley sold at prices ♦arcing from 345. to 38m. per
qr. New o.ds, 10;d. to ltd. per atone.

RZADIIIO, Sept. 3.—We bad a very large supply of W heat,
with several lot, of new ; one parcel of the latter made 751
per qr. First rate quitlities sold readily at laid week's prices,
in some instances 2s. to 3s per qr. more; a considerable
portion of middling samples not sold. Towards the latter
end o: the market lower prices were accepted than were bid
at the beginning. Barley very short, as was all other sum-
mer corn, mind the turn dearer.
WISSIIICH, Sept. 3.—We had a good supply of old Wheat
to•day, with a tow samples of new. Good fresh old is a
ready sale at. s. per qr. over last we, k's prices, whilst the
new (where in condition) is readily taken ',flat more money.
Oats, Beans, and Barley all sell at former rates, with a good
demand. Thu weather very unsetthd, with much rain.
l'rices to the growers : Wheat, red, 48s. to 60s. per qr. ;
white, 545. to 60s. 'Jan., 10d. tv Ild. per stone. Beans,
38s. to 40s. per qr.

WoucnevEn, Sept. 3.—There was again a large supply
of old Wheat trom the farmers, which sold slowly at an ad-
vance of Is. Inr or. Good Barley, Is. per qt. higher. Ocher
kinds unaltered. Beans held for rather more money. Very
little doing in Peas. In Oats the turn wu in favour of the
buyer.
YORK, Sept. 3.—We have ti good show of Wheat from
our haulers at this day's, mirket, whisk has met a ei"w
sale at about heit week's price*. The weather during Thurs-
day and yesterday was very wet. 7b day it is fair and
(lowly. Hareem is making slow prooese, and but little
Wheat is yet hteured. We note no Alt, r,,tion in other arti-
cles. Wheat, white, 61s. to 63.. per. qr. imperial; rid,
Ms. to 61. b. ; Malt, 484. to 60s. ; Oats, Ild. to Is. per stone
of Whs.; Flour, 465. to 48s. per sack of 2Solbs.

WATEltrultD, Scpt. 3.—With the exception of one or two
fine days in the early part of the week, the weath, r until
this mmiing has beeß wet and cold; harvest operations, i■
con,equence, proceed very slowly. The upward tendency
of the trade noted in our last has continued throughout the
week, and price. of all artoles are again dearer. Wheat
