MARKETS.

COTTON —LIVERPOOL, Om. 2.s.—The market con-
tinues tame but steady in feeling, without change in the
currency of last week. The sales have amounted to 6,000
bales, comprising 3,500 American (400 fur export), 100
Pernams and llaranhatne, Nd. to 7}d.; 700 Egyptians,
Std. to 91d. 000 for speculation at 61d.) ; and 700 Surat.,
3d.to 41d.

Itaxcuzsrms, OCT. 25.—We have bad less business both
in yarn and cloth than en Tuesday hut, but it has not made
• difference in prices. For No. 40's mule, India qualities,
there is a fair inquiry; and 20'e, water, is becoming scarce,
in consequence of the stoppages at Wigan. The latter kind
of yarn is inquired after by German buyers, and is rather
firm in price. The demand for cloth is rather more
limited than that for yam, and the market has
been very quiet. The light low qualities of tlkirty-nine-
inch shirtings, suitable to the India nvrkets, continue
in request, but it is believed that the demand arises as
much from a desire to guard against future wants, in con-
sequence of the cessation of production at Preston, as from
any demand there may be for shipping. The anticipation
of turn-outs is also affecting other goods, as printing cloths,
such as are largely produced at Burnley, where all the
mills (59 in number) ere expected to be closed at the end of
this week. The lower qualities of =deponents are in de-
mand for ladle, but lung cloths and T cloths are in very
limited request. Red and long cloths, such as are largely
exported by the Greek houses here, are still much depressed
by the unsettled state of the Turkish question. The state
of the market is likely to be still further affected by strikes,
for in addition to the ii 9 mills about to stop at Burnley, a
great number will probably be closed at Bacup, Accrington,
and the neighbourhood. At Bacup, it was stated this
morning on the Exchage, that 20 mills had already closed,
and a manufacturer from Wigan says the strike appears
farther from a termination there than ever. At Manchester
a meeting of amtociated masters is to be held to consider
whether they shall continue the advances already given.

MANUFACTURES. —HUDDERSFIELD, Ocz. 25.—The
market has chosen no symptoms of improvement to-day,
although there has been a better attendance of merchants,
who would have extended their purchases had manufac-
turers been willing to accept from 2d. to 3d. per yard leas ;
but, as this would involve a greater sacrifice than present
pricts of wools in London would warrant, those offers were
declined, and consequently but a small amount of business
has been done.

WOOLS.—IItDDERSFIELD, OCT. 25.—There is scarcely
any demand for wools ; although holders are disposed to
sell at reduced prices, it has not bad the effect of bringing
buyers into the market, they being of opinion that prices
will rule still lower before the conclusion of the present
sales.

WOOLLEN CLOTH.—LtEns, Ocr. have had
a very indifferent ntarket to-day. Although there has been
a fair attendance of merchants in the cloth balls, yet the
prices that have been offered were such as the needy in cir-
cumstances only could accept: hence the transactions have
been restricted, and almost altogether confined to a few
Kelton's, in brown, and other coloured mixtures.
CORN.—IIPLL, OCT. 25.—During the put week there
bas been a good daily business in every article of the trade,
and entirely confined to consumers; for fine Danzig, 80a.,
601P5., hos been paid, and two or three lots of fine old
English red have made the same price, 631 u.; common red
Hamburg, 70s. up to 75e. for good ; Polish Odessa, 655. ;
and Egyptian, 60,, alt 601 b.. At this day's market, we
had a very small supply of English wheat, and nothing at
all of fresh foreign ; farmers were much excited, and gave
very bad accounts of the yield of their late thrashings; very
irregular pricer were inked and paid, but, on the whole, we
write the market 3s. to 4s. per qr. d than last week,
75e. to 78s. being the general rates for best samples of new
red; and in one instance 84s. was paid for fine old white.
In foreign several transactions have taken place, with exten-
sive inquiries fur distant parts, and we raise out quotations
3s. to ss. per qr. We are without any arrivals to meet the
demand for barley, and our currency is consequently quite
nominal. Oats are le. dearer, Beans support the late ad-1
vanes, and are in good demand. Peas much inquired for,
but none in stock. Indian corn 2.., and Dari Is. dearer.
Linseed is rather dull, but cakes meet • large consumptive
demand. No rapeseed on the market, and rape cakes sell
at 1265. as they wive. Bones in great request, chiefly by
speculators ; 105 s. is the last sale reported.
LIEDB, OCT 2.5.—0ur suppling of grain are small.
There is a fair trade passing in new wheat at 1.. per qr.
advance on Friday's rates. Old held very firmly, but
prices are un dtered. Barley fully as dear. Beans cow
tiaue very scarce, and fetch high rates. Oats and other
articles steady. Arrivals this week :—Wheat,:3,s34 qrs. ;
oata,9o; barley, 200 ; beans, 63; peas, 10 ; rapeseed, 1,835 ;
linseed, 1,805.

LIVERPOOL, Oct. 25.-The Corn Exchange this morning
was well attended by country millers and dealers, and we
had a healthy demand for wheat and flour for consump-
tion, at an advance of Id. to 2d. per bushel, and 6d. to Is.
per barrel on flour over Friday, making the improvement
Ana this day so'nnight 4d. to 6d. per bushel on wheat, 2s.
to 21. 6d. per barrel and sack on flour, and 2s. to 3s. pa
quarter on Indian cora. Beans and peas were each le. to
2s. per quarter, oats Id. per bushel, and Mensal Is. per
load higher.
LYNN, Ocr. 25.-Our supplies of grain continue small,
and at to-day's market wheat farther advanced be. to 61.,
and bales. 2s. per qr. Present quotations:-Wheat,
old, red, 551bs. to 601 be., 665. to 745. ; best new, 601 be. to
63tbe., 745. to 78s. ; ditto, 671bs. to 591b5., 665. to 72.. Bar-
ley, best runs, 631bs. to &bibs., 445. to 46e. • seconds, 521b5.,
40s. to 42.. Beans, old, 651 be. to 661b5., b6s. to bBs. per qr.
to the grower. Oats, new, 13d. to 14d. per stone. Flour,
fine, per sack of 2801ba., be.
NeWCASTLE, Oct. 26.-The weather still continues im-
proving although we have occasional showers. At our
market this morning we had a fair show of wheat from the
powers, chiefly in moderate condition, whilst some parcels
was quite unsound. The improved report from Mark-
le'se yesterday had the effect of imparting much confidence
M the trade, and a large business was done at the full rates
M Saturday, extra qualities, whether new or old, in
putial instances commanding an advance of ls. per qr.
For fine old south country 80s. was obtained, whilst
iv* years old Norfolk made 775.; Wiebech old,
48 lbs., 78e., and new, 81s. • extra Suffolk new,
82s. ; whereas lickerasarke red reached 795., and good
mixed Danube, 804. per qr., all weighing 63Ibe per bushel.
Flour must be written Is. per sack dearer, choice house-
holds making Us. readily, whilst for one very choice lot
Ms. 6d. to 695. was prusured, but this sale cannot be taken
as a criterion of the general market value. Rye unaltered.
Malting barley in fair request at full prices ; grinding,
however, on account of its scarcity, was placed at 41s. to
Us., weighed 561bs. per bnehel. Malt is pointing upwards,
mad the same remarks will apply to beans, peas, and oats.
For a lot of Archangel we made 275. to-day, weighed 401bs.
per bushel.
Saustirxtr, Oct. 25.-At this day's market we had a
nay full attendance, and a large supply of all descriptions
et grain. The bushier in wheat was brisk, and an advance
et is. to 4s. per quarter was realised. In barley and beans
ss advance of ls. per qr. MA place, and the trade was
brisk. In other articles of grain nothing transpired worthy
of note. Wheat averages 68s. lid. per qr. ; barley,
395. 4Zd. ; oats, 25e. 4d.; beans, 655. 2d.
CATTLE.-.-SALISSCRT, Oct. 25.-At our market this

morning we had an abundant supply of beasts, and better
in point of quality than we have seen for some weeks put.
There was a middling attendance of buyers, but notwith-
standing the trade ruled extremely heavy, particularly
towards the clue ; most of the beet Devon oxen found
purchasers at the quotations of last market, but a great
many inferior animals remained unsold although a slight
concession in prices was made. The number of sheep
penned was considerably less than has been shown for some
markets, and less buyers present, which caused the mutton
trade to be very sluggish, but, notwithstanding, there ie no
alteration of prices to note. In calves there was but very
little doing. In the pig market there was a very large
supply, but the demand was quite inadequate, and in many
instances sales were contracted at a decline of 2s. to 3s. per
head. Prices. Best ox beef, 10s. to 10s. 6d. per
score ; cow and heifer ditto, Os. to Os. 6d.; beet
Dawn Mutton, 7d. to Md. per lb.; long-woolled and
inferior, fid. to 6p. Lamb, Bd. to 9d.; Veal, 7d. to
70.; pork, fresh and salt, 7d. to 71d. per lb., and
10s. Od. to Its, per score; bacon, green, Bd. to 9d. per lb. ;
dry, 9d. to 104.; ditto, per score, 10s. 6d. to Ils. Small
store pigs, 25a. to 28s. per head.
