M•ECHESTER. SEPT. 29.—The market spaced very in-
active, and the transactions of the morning were exceed-
ingly limited. In the afternoon the depression wu
creased by the snivel of inteldgence, to some extent maid'
pated, that tke Bank bad increased discounts to 5 per cent•
Prices of all kinds of cotton goods are gradually sinking, but
the concessions do not tempt buyers to much business, an
impression prevailing that greater bargains will yet be met
with.

WOOL.—SBADFORD, SEPT. 29.—There I very little
doioa by the spinners in the purebue of wools, sod great
caution is manifested; on the other hand, the staplers gene-
rally sre not Urge holders, and with the difficulty they
have to buy, there is no disposition to press sales, conse-
quently prices are firm.—Bradford 05serror.

MANUFACTURES..—BRAMORD. SEPT. 29.—Yarns:
There is more ii.quiry for yarns suitable for Germany, but
for Russia, no doubt from the unsettled position, there is
not so much doing : to both countries the eaports are very
short of the usual average. In spools, somewhat lass has
been done, owing to the entire stoppage of some and the
partial working of other looms. In Lancashire, the demand
is irregular from turn-outs and other disputed points re-
garding wages. Pieces : The merchants are buying only to
assort stocks, and the manufacturen are unwilling to make
to stock, and the production is daily diminishing, for it is
impossible to make cost; aed the quantity of goods coming
to market is very far short of what it was at this period last
year.—Braoford Obserrer.

CORN.—BtituINOKAM, SP M. 29.—At this day's market
there was a good supply of English wheat, which found
buyers readily at an advance of 61. per qr. ; foreign held for
4s. per qr. more money, but sold slowly. Barley improved
in value 2s. to 4s. per qr., oats Is., beans 25., peas 3s. The
millers further advanced the retail price of flour 31. 4d. per
sack.

BRISTOL, SEPT. 29.-Our market has again been charae.l
terised by a good deal of excitement, the unfavourable state
of the weather, and the arms therein produced being ren-
dered still more pressing by the position of the Eastern
question, and the daily increasing probability of a war. The
tendency of things is again upward, and wheat most be
quoted from 4s. to 6.. per quarter above the currencies of
this day se'nnight. The season for malting is now opening,
and there has been a fair business in molting barley, at an
advance on last week's value of from 2s. to 3s. per quarter.
Grinding parcels also meet with purchasers at about the
same increase of prices. In oats there have been some con-
siderable sales effected at 2.. per quarter more money.

cheaply as they could a week since by from 2s. to 31. per qr.

Divans, Seer. 29.-We had a fair supply of wheat
to-day, and a very animated market, with a rise of from 8..
to 10s. per qr., at which advance a clearance was early
made. A small lot of white Talavera was sold at 42a.
a sack, for seed. Thor. were several lots of new
barley, of fair quality, which sold readily, the top
price ;realised being 435. per qr. There were no
peas offering. Oats and beans were in improved demand,
and sold freely at an advance, in beans to the extent of 2s.
per qr. Wheat, white, 6.4 s per qr. ; best red, 745. to 78s. ;
middling, 60s. to 745.; inferior, 461. to 60s. Barley, 365.

SZPT. 29.—Our 811111.110 t this morning WIZ
well attended, and holders in some instances commenced by
asking eatraragent prices, which had the effect of checking
sales; ultimately a fair extent of business occurred at the
following advance:—Wheat, 6d. to Bd. per 701bs. ; flour,
ss. to 6s. per sack, and 2s. to 3e. per barrel ; oats, 2d. to
3d. per 451b5.; oatmeal, 3e. per load ; and beans 2s. per
quarter.

Nl:went, Sept. 28.—At our market to-day a further
considerable advance was witnessed in the price of wheat.
The quantity shown for sale was only moderate, but the
demand appeared general ; the prices, therefore, required
by holders were submitted to, and an increase on last week
of fully ss. per qr. was obtained. Of barley there was a
fair display and a reasonable business done ; the prices re-
mained firm, but with an upward inclination. Of oats
scarcely any samples were offering, and those at former
rates. Old beans maintained their value, with a scarce
supply, and higher price 3 are not unlikely to be had for
1 them. Averages Wheat, white, old, from 70s. to 74e.;
new, 68e. to 73a.; red, old, &is. to 70e.; new, 65e. to 70s

stone. Beans, old, 465. to 495. per 38 stone.

NEWBURY, SEPT. 29.—We have this day a pretty good
supply of Wheat, for which extreme prices were demanded,
which checked the trade, although an advance of fully 41.
per qr. was established. The new samples are various in
quality, and much lighter than expected, and there was
rather an increased supply of barley, for which the prices of
last week were realised. No alteration in oats, beans, or
Peal.

EDINDIMON, Burr. 28 —We had in the market to-day
746 qrs. wheat, 1,997 qrs. barley, 840 qn. oats, and &5 qrs.

We had as average supply of grain la the market to-
day, with the exception of barley, which was very plentiful.
There was a fair demand for wheat, but which fell off
towards the end, from the extreme prices asked. Barley
was dull of sale, while oats and beans were exceedingly
quick. The market closed by no means firm. Wheat, 66e.

CATTLE.—Nzwante FORTNIGHTLY MARXET, SEPT.
27.—The market today was largely supplied with stock,
and the quality was generally good. A great deal of busi-
ness, as might be expected, was done. There was a larger
quantity of sheep penned than was ever known on one day
sines the establishment of the market; they numbered
3,195, and were making more messy, if anything, than the
week previous. Several tape, and 189 pigs were also
penned. As regards beasts, there was not room for many
in the market, end they, as usual, stood in the adjoining
street. Horses were also plentiful, and high prices were
made for three of good quality. _ _ _

THE GREAT MUNSTER FAIL-TAE HORSE FAIR.
—The Horse Fair commenced at eight o'clock yesterday
morning, and, like that of the preceding day-, was every
way calculated to grittily those who take an interest in the
success of this important provincial undertaking. The
number of horses on show was exceedingly large, and &con-
siderable proportion, of them were of a first-rate character.
The demand for hones was much greater than was antici•
patcd, and aeco•dingly a vast number were bought up at
go- d prices before they had been many hours upon the
fair green. Indeed, so greatly were horses in requisition,
that some of the very best animals were sold in the streets
of the city, on the day of the cattle fair, at sums frequently
above the average price of the general market. Auctions
took place on the fair-green, as well as at the several horse
repositories in the city ; and I have reason to believe that a
considerable amount of property changed hands in the
course of the afternoon. I was prevent at one of these
suctions for a abort time, during which I saw animals
knocked down at 701., 401., 301., and other prices, down to
101. or 151. Ou the whole, the horse fair was of a satisfactory
character, there being a very large demand for animals of a
serviceable description.
