MARKETS.

CO fTON.—LIVERPOOL, Nov. 15.—The market closed
tamely, without change in prices. The sales have amounted
to 4,000 bales—including 500 for export and 500 on specu-
lation ; and, in addition to Americans, comprised 90 Per-
mian and Maranhems, bid. to 71d.; 60 Bahia, ; 200
Entities, 61d. to 84. ; and 500 burst, 3d. to 414. per lb.
MANCH/MUIR, Nov. 15.—There has helm a steady
market as regards prices, the hands of the producers having
been slightly strengthened by the advices of the Asia mail
steamer from the United States, which confirm the accounts
of a killing (root having damaged the cotton in the southern
states during the picking semen. Except among German
buyen of yarn, and them not g lly, however, it had
not much effect in stimulating to business. Some lew
descriptions of yarn required for this branch of trade were
rather scarce through the turn-outs, and there was an
anxiety to complete orders before the weather placed •
barrier to shipping, but prices were not affected beyond a
Hub) additional steadiness. In cloth there was • languid
market, a fair business only being done in light 39-inch
ahirtings, of Vbs. to 21bs. weight for India, whilst other
descriptions were taken in small quantities. The mills are
still closed in I'reston, Wigan, Burnley, Bacup, and Bury.
and there is so prospect at present of an arrangement which
will lead to the resumption of business there.

WOOLLEN CLOTH.—Lasys, Nov. 15.—We have had
very considerable improvement in our market to-day; there
has been an excellent business done in both the cloth-halls.
It is the opinion of most persons attending the market
that there has not been more cloth sold en any one day dur-
ing the last three months.

W00L14.-11twrinnerimn, lvov. 16.--As it it now
thought that prices of wools will not be lower than at pre.
sent for some time, we have more doing, but from the ap.

'romance of Ur's generally, manufacturers are not induced
ti purchase Wpm.' what is requital for prevent consutni.•
Lion.

MANUFACTURES. —Ht ootsssvtst a, Nov. 15.
There has been a better attendance in the Cloth-hall to-day,
but as is usual in slack times, the inquiries are fur lsa-
priCetl classes of goods, and in these, where business is trans
acted, a reduction must be submitted to. General business
is Bat.

CORN.—Heat, Nov. 15.—The import of wheat is
chiefly from Russia, the barley from A!exandria, and the
beans Anew) from Hamburg and the near ports. The
weather has been tine and seasonable during the week, aid
very favourable for seed operations, in which considerable
progreu has now been made throughout this distrie.. The
trade has been quiet, with daily-increasing firmness, and
Urge orders at the decline quoted last Tuesday could
not be mewed; the bulk of the Russian wheat goes to
granary, the present consumptive demand not being
on that class ; fresh red has been in good re-
quest, and quite recovered the decline lately noted.
There was a lair supply of farmers' wheat at this day's mar-
ket, the condition various; beat runs were ready sale at 2..
over the rates current last Tuesday ; foreign of best quality
goad to sell at ls. to 2s. advance. Barley of all kinds rather
depressed, and Is. to 21. less money taken. Beans Is. to
dearer. We note no alteration in either oats or pees. The
linseed market quiet, but cakes may be bought on easier
terms. We hear of no transactions in Rapeseed, and the
high price of cakes makes the sale slow. Bores support our
currency. Imports from Nov. 5 to Nov. 11: wheat, 6,370
qrs.; barley, 2,086; beans, 1,566; peas, 371 ; tires, 4; lin-
seed, 9,569; rapeseed, 2,640 ; oil cakes, 123 tons ; bones, 74.
Juane, Nov. 15.—The supply of wheat to day is too
small in the agricultural districts to effect any reduction is
prices, and our arrivals being so moderate here, we have
today experieneed an improved demand, and the decline
of last week is fully recovered, and we quote prices 2s.
higher than on Friday. Maltsters try to buy barley at a
decline, which restric a business, as holders are no: disposed
to take below Friday's rates. Beans steady. Oats and
other articles as before. Arrivals this week:—Wheat, 2,015
qrs.; oats, 48; barley, 816; beans, 422 ; rapeseed, 607 ;
linseed, 596.

LIVERPOOL, NOV. 16.—At this day's market there was a
good attendance of town and c4untry millers and dealers,
and a fair consumptive demand was experienced for wheat,
which, however, being met by bol 'ere, the extreme rates
current on this day week could not be exceeded. Flour met
with a good inquiry, and sweet American, being compara-
tively scarce, was 6.1. per barrel dearer. Fine oats, with a
moderate sale, maintained their value, but inferior were Id.
per 46th.. cheaper. Oatmeal, being plentiful, declined Is.
to ls. 6d. per load for both old and new. Grinding barley
(Irish) must be quoted 3d. to 44. per 60Ibs. cheaper, with •
good deal offering. Egyptian beam however, and Indian
corn were taken to retail for feeding purposes, at late rates.
Arrivals into Liverpool from the Bth to the 14th Nov., in-
clusive:—Wheat, 25,922 qrs. ; barley, 3,724; malt, 697 ;
oats, 3,808 ; bean•, 747 ; peas, 21 ; Indian corn, 6,512 ; In-
dian corn meal, 81 barrels; oatmeal, 14,593 sacks; it.ur,
175 sacks ; 17,416 harrels. Exports to Ireland :—Wheat,
1,644 qrs. ; beans, 37 ; Indian corn, 91 ; flour, 1,079 sacks ;
825 barrels.

LYNN, Nov. 15.—Oar supply of wheat to-day was rather
small, and sotd freely at last week's prices. Barley in !sager
supply and Is. to 2s. per qr. lower. Wheat, old, red, 59161.
to 601 be., 645. to 724.; best new, 601 b.. to 631b5., 735. to 775. ;
ditto, 57lbs. to 691b5.,661. to 711. Barley, best runs, 531 b..

to the grower. Oats, new, Is. 2d. to Is. 3d. per stone.

• - -
NEWCASTLII, Nov. 15 —The weather still continues as
fine as can be for seeding' operations, which occupy the
attention of our farmers, to the exclusion of other work. Ai
our market this morning we had a moderate show of wheat
from the country, and baring a fair quantity r &ring from
the coast as well as from abroad, the trade ruled exceed-
ingly firm, but with the exception of choice Scotch white
wheat, which sold at an improvement of Is. per qu
ail other sorts remain unchanged, and upon the
whole, our millers acted upon the reserve. For flour there
was a fair inquiry ; still, however, to sell in quantity, 665.
cannot be exceeded iu a general way, although here and
there 571. is required for approved marks. In rye little
stirring. Choice malting barley sustains its value, but the
ordinary sorts are most difficult to move. Grinding without
change. Malt steadily maintains its value, and the same
remark will apply to beans, peas, and oats.
