MARKETS.

ME lALS —Mr. 3foate's C.reular *tares: Rails con-
tinue in demand. Messrs. Guests' men are still on
strike. The estimated produeti. nof this firm being 2,509
ton, weekly, or about 12.5,000 tow. per anauro, the with•
driawal of this supply is already beginning to tell upon the
market. Bar Iron is very firm ; the last accounts from
New York, Calcutta, and Bombay show a handsome profit
bit pnatt.nt qtwtaquite. Pigs.—A very large bu-inrss
has been doe during the pass week f r shipment, nut with-
stanuing the present high rate of freights. In New York
it is leaving a large profit, and, with the prospect of lower
freights as the season draws to 4 close, the shipments must
be enormous. The quotations are :—For mixed numbers,
67s ; No. 1, Oartsherrie, 745.; No. 1, Glengarnock, 73r.
The receipts into Connal's store are estimated at 1,000 tons,
and deliveries from same at 7,000 tons per week, which may
account for the increasing scarcity of storekeepers' warrants.
Copper is very firm, and an advance M not improbable.
English Tin.—The smelters are withholding from selling,
as an advance is daily expected to be announced. Banca
and Straits Tin.—ln Banes the quotation is 73 florins at
Amsterdam, equal to 125/. in London, and the last business
done here was 119/. In Straits there are few parcels in
the market; these, however, are very fine, and held st
118/. Till Plates.—A good business doing. This article
is well worth the attention of the dealers and. speculators,
as with tin advancing they cannot be made at present rates.
Three manufacturers in Staffordshire alone havo abandoned
the trade, ci.n..equently t :e productions and stocks are both
rapidly decreasing.

SUGAR.—The average price of Sugar, the produce of
the British possessions in America, computed from the re-
turns made in the week ending the 23rd August, 1853, is
235. ltd. Sugar, the produce of the Mauritius, 255. 4td.
Sugar, the produce of the East Indies, 27.. ol 1. The
average price of the three foregoing descriptions of Sugar,
jointly, is 255. 60.

BItISTOL, AI:0178T 26.
SI:CAW—The offices being still but poorly supplied with
samples of West India, the sales of the week are necessarily
unimportant; the demand however continues good both
for pan and scale purposes, and nearly every lot offered has
teen disposed of, at fully former prices. In Mauritius we
are without sides to report, holders not being disposed to
sell at the present rates. Floating cargoes of foreign have
been offered less freely, and these being mostly held for
prices in advance of the present currency, the transactions
are trivial. In refiners' produce of all descriptions there is a
large business doing, and former quotations ere well sup-
ported. Rum is much wanted, hat holders generally
refuse to make prices. A parcel of proof Leewards has
been disposed of at 2s. 3d. per gallon from ship's side.

COTTON.—LivEltrocii., Ato. 26.—We have passed
another quiet and dull week in the cotton market, but still
without producing any quotable change in the scale of
pri-es. No doubt, the inferior qualities of American,
should buyers turn up, would be found pu,chasable at easy
rates, and perhaps at a turn of advantage, while all other
kinds and qualities are perfectly steady. The unsettled
state of the Turkish question leaves that subject still
weighing upon us, and acting as a check not only upon our
cotton market, but upon all commercial enterprise throuiAi-
out the country. And again, the season of the year natu-
rally prey, nts any estimate being formed of the coming
crop in the United States, other than what may be re-
garded as a mere conjecture. These two important matters
connect theravilyes so immediate:y with the rate of con-
gumption and the supply, that the present inactivity of our
market may be pretty well accounted for, without enume-
rating any other reasons. The state of Manchester, and
the minufacturing interest generally, though very similar
to our own, cannot upon the whole be regarded as ens itiv
factary ; the most serious consideration is what we alluded
to last week, namely, the labour and rate of wages' ques-
tion. The committee of brokers place fair Uplands at 61d ,
Mobile 6/d., and Orleans at 7d., being the same as last week
4,020 American, 30 Surat, 80 Eg; ptian, and 110 Bahia, are
reported to have been taken on speculation ; and 3,3 41
American, 680 Surat, 60 Madras, 730 Maranliam, acid 110
Peruarn, for export. Saks for the week, 31,710 baba.

WOOL—LEEDS, AVGUtiT, 26.—There has *ue( n a mode-
rate amount of sales effected in wool this week and prices
remain fins at the quotations of last weeks-but arc not yet
in English woal in proportion to the prices asked by the
farmers.

CORN.—CHELM3FORD, Aug. 2G.—The weather being
again wet, and a large demand fur French account, our
market to day was very animated, and much higher prices
were mad.2-53a. to 58.. fur red, and 60.. to 655. for old
white; new, 635. to 6Gs. ; new red, 565. to GOs. No Spring
Corn offering.
LivEuroot, Atoesr 2G.—At this day's market there
was a good attendance of buyers, and a bri,k demand was
experienced far wheat and fl •ur, at an advance since rue,—
' day of 3d. to 4d. per 70Ibs. fin the former and 6.1. to ls.
per barrel for the latter article; prime white American
wheat being saleable at Bs. Bd. per 701b5., and Beltiruage
and Philadelphia Flour at 30-. per barrel. Inferior whip
and sack flour were also he d at an advance, hut at racted
comparatively little attention. Otto and oatmeal were
without alteration in value or demand : ca were also barley
and peas, while beans were Gd. per quarter dearer. Indian
curn on the spot met with inure attention than for some
lime past, and may be quoted 6d. per quarter dearer, prime
flat yellow American bringing 325. per quarter. In Rutting
cargoes kw transactions to. k place, buyers generally re-
quiring a guarantee of the vessels having passed Constan-
tinople, owing to the reported obstruction of the navigation
of the Danube. Arrivals into Liverpool and Runcorn from
the 23rd to the 25th Auk.: Wheat, 8.209 qrs. ; B uley, 34 ;
Malt, 677; Oats, 1,834 ; Beans, 3,345 ; Peas, 15; Indian
Corn, 2,913; Oatmeal, 761 sacks; Flour, 1,322 sacks, and
6,722 brio. Exports to Ireland: Wheat, 137 qrs. ; Indian
Corn, 1,277 ; Indian Corn Meal, 8.5 brls. ; Flour, 275 sacks,
and 938 brls.

WAKEFIELD, Aug. 2G.—The defective state of the Wheat
crop is so generahy admitted, that the weather becomes a
poiat of increased anxiety. The early part of the week was
fine is this district, but iu sr.me other localities heavy rains
are reported; yesterday we had wet so as to put a stop to
harvest operations, and to-day the weather is still onset-
tied, though finer. The prices in the agricultural districts
have risen most rapidly the past ten days, and excitement
has taken the place of precious panic. For spring corn the
demand is slow; the produce of this class is likely to prove
abundant, consequently Oats, Barley, and other articles are
steady, and the rates of all descriptions remain as before
noted. Imports durirg the week: Wheat, 13,170 qrs. ;
Beans, 388; Molt, 20 loads.
