preponderance of Boulogne can scarcely fail to be still
further augmented after October, when the railway will be
opened through from Amiens. The number of passengers
to and from England at Boulogne, in the week ending the
18th inst, was 2,036 against 1,601 in the corresponding week
of 1846 ; at Dover it was 424 against 634. The 2,036 Bou-

vance can be quoted.—The Coffee sale has gore off

parcel.—Ric: A speculative demand has sprung up, and I
rather higher prices have been paid this morning.

higher prices to be asked to•day ; say, forWheat,4l. • Beans,

BASING/110E11 —The growers date that the young bines
are not so bad as represented ; that there is still time to have
a good yield; that the late shoots are healthy and that the
vervain lases greatly decreased Oka last jaw days.
Woncrevaa, JULY 21.—The general opinion is decidedly
against the crop of Bops, many of our principal planters
having now quite given them up, and talk seriously of taking
up the poles. Some of the strong bine, have been throwing
out a few fresh shoots, which are followed up by vermin as
fast as they appear, so that there is no hope of their bearing
fruit. The duty is set by good judges at 4,0001. ; but for the
kingdom the current opinion is in favour of 170,8411111., owing
to the promising appearance of the lieat plantations, which
are scarcely affected by the blight.

WOOL.—HUDDERSIPIELD, JULY 20.—Tke demand
for the raw material kas been limited to immediate wants
during the past week. There is no great inquiry for German
Wools at any price, and Colonial Wools cannot be sold so
readily as a fortnight ago. Prices are stationary.

MANUFACTURES.—iIUDDERSFIELD, JULY 20.
—Our balls have been but very thinly attended by buyers
to-day, and those who have favoured us with a visit have not
displayed the same kind of spirit they did a fortnight ago.
In consequence of the ouantity of goods which found buyers
then, a few of the mills which had been running what is
called " short-time " have been set to running full-time, but
if such markets as this of to day continue, they will soon
have to curtail, The warehouses have done a fair business
in finished goods to-day.

and Davis, hay and Straw Salesmen, report prices .o

CATTLE, &c. BEWDLEY FAIR, JULY 19.
There were upwards of 3,000 Ewes, Lambs, and Wethers,
penned at this fair, which ranged in prices from 61d. to 7d.
per lb. There were likewise upwards of 300 head of Cattle,
scme of which was in prime condition for the butchers, and
fetched 7d. per lb. The above stock met with ready bums,
and all cleared away by mid-day. The show of Hones
was of tke usual description for this fair, though a larger
number of them, which met with plenty of purchasers.
LIEDS, JULY 21.—There was a good supply of fat Cattle
at our fortnight fair to-day, with a number of foreign
animals, yet prices ruled firm at late rates, and, in some
cases, higher prices were given. There was also a good
show of Sheep and Lambs, which sold readily at • alight
improvement.
BTHATFORD-ON-ATOM.—The new 3517 fair fully equalled
the anticipations of the promoters of it. From the com-
mencement of last year a marked improvement has taken
place in the attendance and supply at all the fairs, every
succeeding one gradually advancing in growth. The show
of }huts on this occasion was generally good, and the prices
ranged from Old. to 74d.; the latter quotation was given for
prime young bullocks. Nearly 1,000 Sheep were penned,
and fetched 61d. to 7d.; the demand was rather &lave, not
many being driven away unsold. There were several strings
of Horses, the majority of a very superior description, And
several sales were effected at good prices.
GLASGOW, JULY 19.—We had a scanty supply of both
Cattle and Sheep at this morning's market, and prices of
both sorts improved a little. Best Beef, per cwt., 635. Best
wedders, per lb., 7d. to 71d. Lambs were also scarce, and
those of fair size and good quality advanced ls. on last day's
rates.
