MARKETS.

- • -

COTTON.—ldeunrooL, SEPT. 27.—The markst closed
heavily, without change in price.. The sale. mounted to
8,000 bales, enmprimg 5,500 Americans (2,000 on specu-
lation); 120 Prroams and Maranhema, 6!1. to 70.; .50
Bahia, Old. to sp. ; 300 Egyptians, 0.1. to 71d.; and 2,000
Surat, 3d. to 41d. per lb.

MaNcuirritn, Barr. 27.—The market has again
been exceedingly dull both for yarns and cloths, with
depressed rates, more especially for the former. It was
currently reported on the Exchange that thirteen mills at
Wigan were at a stand through the strikes of mill opera-
tives and colliers, in addition to the many mills closed at
Preston and other places, but this did not give a much
better tone to prices, though it would have done so in a
healthier state of business and with more confidence. The
prices of yarn were very irregular, and cloths could mostly
be bought on easier terms, but tho want of confidence and
the difficulty of obtaining discounts had a tendency to pre-
vent business altogether in many cues. The India letters
expected may bring orders that will improve business, but
not to any great extent most likely, as buyers will be
tempted to wait till prices have wen the bottom. Nothing
is doing for Chine, but very little for Germany, and the
warlike tendency of news from the gut this day has again
checked operations for the Mediterranean.

WOOLLEN CLOTH.—LzEns, Sire. 27.—We have had
a very fiat and dull market to-day. There was a very in-
different attendance of merchant. in the cloth balls, and
very little disposition wu shown to buy beyond immediate
requirements, while en the other hand the clothiers are
pressing sales and accepting lower priest; but notwith-
standing this, there is such a growing want of confidence in
the present state of attains that induces the utmost caution
on the part of buyers.

WOOL. Iit:DDIRSPIELD, SEPT. 27.—We have bad
very little doing in the wool trade both to-day and during
the week; and though wool merchants are anxious to
sell the manufacturers hang back, with an Idea that unless
we have very soon a favourable turn in trade prices will be
mutt. lower.

MANUFACTURES.—IIUDDERSPIELD, SEPT. 27.—The
present state of effairs generally has had a visible effect on
our market to-day, the activity which has hitherto prevailed
seeming now on the decline, and merchants who
formerly bought heavily are now confining their
purchases to a few patterns, in order to vary
their stock or complete their orders. We have more
goods left en hand at the close of the market than has been
the case for some time, but we de not yet hear any
giving way in prices.

CORN.—HULL, SEPT. 27.—With the exception of Sun-
day, (when we had heavy rain, and a perfect hurricane
from the north-west) the weather has been favourable during
the past week for securing what autumn-sown wheat was
out, but too cold for much of .the epnng.sown. With the
exception of linseed, our arrivals are very scanty, and we
believe there is next to nothing on passage, either from the
Baltic or Danish or ports; our stock in granary is
therefore our only resource for some considerable period,
aided probably by a few " waifs and strays" from the
Mediterranean. The business of the week has been limited,
not for want of buyers, but of stocks and sellers ; in the
transactions reported, we note an advance of fully 2.. per
quarter on wheat. Is. on best barley, Is. on oats, 2s. on
beans, and 3s. on Indian corn. We had a good attendance
of farmers at this day's market, and we regret to say their
reports as to yield of wheat and disease in potato. are even
worse than last week, and we can no longer resist the conclu-
sion, that the wheat crop in England is the most deficient
known for the last twenty-five years. The market for
farmers' wheat was very excited, 70s. to 725. being generally
asked for old, and 695. to 70s. for new, and the bulk of the
foreign was withdrawn from sale. Both millers and factors
were frightened, and exercised extreme caution, but the
ma-ket must he written 4s. to be. dearer than last week for
all descriptions, 69.. to 70s. being paid for old English, 68s.
to 70s. for new. The condition of the latter was various,
but the bulk better than last week. Fine malting barley
in gr.- t request, and the new offering readily sold at 38s. to
40s. No foreign on sale. Grinding Is. dearer, and in
small supply. Beans are again 2e. dearer, Egyptians beinp
held at 455.. 631b5., and a cargo reported sold at 40,. C. 1..
and 1., which is beyond the price to consumers. Peas are
3s. d . Indian corn, 2s. dearer, and Bari held for a
like advance. The linseed market, 2e. dearer; and hull.
made cakes, 10s per ton d . Neither rapeseed nor
cakes on the market. Bones support our quotations. Im-
ports during the week : Wheat, 2,072 qn.; barley, 3,68.1;
beans, 85; linseed, 15,513; rapeseed, 430; oil cakee, 42
ton, ; bones, 27.

LENDS, &PT. 27.—We have a fair snivel of
wheat; the trade is brisk to-day, at 31. to 4s. advance from
Friday, for both new and old. Barley is inquired for, anti
creeps up in price. Oats an Id. per stone, and beans Is. to
26. per quarter higher. Other articles as before. Arrivals
this week: Wheat, 5,332 qrs. ; oars, 42; barley, 395;
beans, 187; rapeseed, 219 ; linseed, 885; peas, 43.

. . . .
LIVERPOOL, SEPT. 27.—At our market to-day there
was rather a ►arge attendance of town and country millers
and dealera, and an extensive business was transacted in
wheat and flour for consumption and on speculation, at an
advance ■ince this day week of 9d. to 10d. per 70 lbs. on
the former, and 2s. to 9s. per barrel and 4s. to 6s. per sack
on the latter article, prime white American wheat finding
buyers at 10s. to 10s. 3d. per 701b5., and superior Western
Canal flour 345. to 345. Gd., Baltimore 355. Gd. to 365. per
barrel, and Spanish 676. to 68a. per sack. Oats met with
a fair sale, at an improvement of 2d. per 45105. A cargo
of Wexford tawny sold for 3s. 6d. per 451bs. Oatmeal,
both old and new, improved 3s. per load, being saleable at
30s. and 32a. per load respectively. Barley realised an ad-
vance of 2d. to 3d. per bushel in the sales made. Indi..n
corn was generally held for 6s. per quarter more money,
41s. to 425. per quarter being asked for prime yellow, which
checked business.

LYNN, Bart. 27.—We have had a fair supply of both
wheat and barley at market to-day. AU was quickly taken
at an advance of ss. to 6e. per qr. on wheat, and At. per v.
upon barley. Wheat, best new, 69.. to 725. ; old, 70s.
barley, 41s. to 445. per qr. to the growers.

SALISBURY, Sarr. 27.—At eur market this morning we
had a good attendance of both buyen and sellers, and a fair
supply of wheat. The extensive advance in prices at Mark-
lane on Monday produced its due effect here to-day, and
the wheat trade was active at an advance of 6s. per qr.
above last Tuesday's prices, and in some instances for very
fins samples higher rates were obtained. Good old wheat
realised 365. per sack, and for some superior samples 40s.
was asked. In barley there was not a large amount of
business doing, but price. were the turn against the buyer.
With regard to other articles of grain the trade was
nominal.

CATTLE.—BALIIIIIVET, ibex. 27.—At our market this
day we had one of the largest supplies of cattle that we
have seen for many weeks put, and the larger number of
beasts were of a very superior quality. There was also a
very full attendance, but the general tons of the beef trade
was anything but active, and, comparatively speaking,
only a few transactions of impestance took place ;
in fact, a consideration reduction had to be sub-
mitted to below the last market's prices to do
any business. At the close a considerable number were
driven away unsold. The supply of abet, was tolerably
extensive, but there seems to be a Guilin* in the demand,
consequently there was not so much business done as of
late, and what there was took place at prices the
more in favour of the hoteliers. There was but a abort
supply of calves, and late quotations were firmly main-
tained. In the pig market we had a good supply, sad busi-
ness ruled dull at prices the turn in favour of the buyer.
Best ox beef, 9s. 6d. o.los. per score ; cow and heifer, do,
9s. to W. 6d. Best Down Mutton, 7d. to 71d. per lb.; long-I
woolled and inferior, ed. to sp. Lamb, Bd. to 81d.;
Veal, 7d. to 71d.; pork, fresh and salt, 7d. to 71d. Pori
lb., and 191. 6d. to lie. per score; bacon, green, Bd. to I
81d. per lb.; dry, 9d. to 10d.; ditto, per score, 10s. Gd.
to 111. Store pigs, 25e. to 301. per head.
