MANCHWITIIR, JULY 23.—The prospect of a pacific set-
tlement of the dispute between Russia and Turkey has
partially removed the check to bovines which the appre-
hensions of war have recently excited. The market ex-
hibits great firmness of tone, and a fair amount of business
is doing. Goods and puns suitable for the home trade are
in brisk demand at hardening prices. Warps and pin-cope,
both of the lower and medium counts, are quoted ed. per
lb. dearer than they were at the end of last week. There
is rather more activity in yarns for export to the Continent ;
but both goods and yarns, suited for India and China, eon-
tinue languid, and prices are rather drooping. The home
demard is good in every department. Buyers are manifest-
ing a desire to extend their operations, and sellers, on the
other hand, display increasing firmness in maintaining
prima.

WOOLLEN CLOTH.—Lmans, Juvr 23.—There con-

muskets. The business done to-day has hem quite an ave-
rage one. Beavers, pilots, doubly milled clothe, and other
similar heavy goods, constitute at present the principal de-
mand, and with goods of these kinds the market is very in-
adequately supplied. Prices are firm. Stocks continue
low. There have been a good many buyers in the town
during the week, which has caused great activity in the
warehouses. A steady good trade is generally prevalent in
woollen cloths.

HARDWARE.—Biamixotum, JVLY 23.—Trade here
continues brisk ; cadets are coming in rapidly, so there will
he a very capital trade through die autumn at least. We
noticed a month sines the suspension of Messrs Samuel
Griffiths and Co., of Wolverhampton, and that the house
had filed a petition under the private arrangement clauses.
To-day a meeting was held arising out of these proceedings;
it wu attended by a very large amount of the creditors,
who unanimously acceded to the terms proposed, by which
the property is vested in the official assignee, and the peti-
tioners will be relieved of their debts. It was understood
that the firm would resume business as soon as the legal
forms would permit, and several of the creditors present
expressed their intention to continue their accounts with

I sellers demanding an advance in price at the commence-
ment ; this checked business, and the market closed dull at
last week's price. But little Barley, Beans, or I'cu on sale;
the value unaltered.

GLOUCRSTZR, July 23.—Finer weather to-day caused
millers to get with much reserve; but farmers were un-
willing to sell, except at extreme rates. In foreign Wheat
very few sales were made, but this description being so far
below the value of English, weight for weight, holders
showed no disposition to give way. Barley and Beans sell
steadily at former prices. Oats find buyers at the advance
of lid. quoted during the week. The disease in potatoes has
