MARKETS.

COTTON.—LivinPoox, Nov. 17.—The demand for
cotton to day has been general and good, but the market
closed heavily, and with a great deal offering for sale ; but
prices have undergone little or no change. The sates have
amounted to 6,000 bales, including about 4,500 Americans
(500 for export aral a similar quaetity on speculation) ; 650
remains and Marenbams, at 6ed. to 71d. ; 250 Egyptian,
at 5:1:d. to 125. ; 300 Surat, at 2sd. to 41d., Axil 30 Sea
Islands, at 17d. to 20d. per lb.
MANCIMSTEII. Nov. 17.—The market continues very
languid. There is a demand fur 40's mule Taro, which
commands relatively better prices on account of its scarcity
than other numbers; and light skirtings are still in request.
For other descriptions of yarn and cloth dunces& and a
desire to sell are general.

WOOLS —BRADFORD. Nov. 17. There is but littl
doing io any kind of combing wools, the rpinners find, a
the prices sought, it is impossible to corer cost, and they
prefer their machinery being idle. There was, at the end
of last week, a slight more among the staplers; but for
actual consumption the demand was never slacker.

MANINACTURES.—BRADFORD. Nov. 17.—Yams :
The sane causes we have for some weeks referred to are
still in operation, the quantity of idle looms having sus-
pended the operations of the spinning frames, and which
will Cr. long bring about a better state of things,
for there is no - «4tion of yarns, and at no

period was the system of total franies stopping
found so general as at present. The short time
and total standing was estimated, before the Lancashire
turn-outs, at 50 per cent., and must now be materially aug-
mented. Pieces: There is not much doing in any kind of
cloth, but the stock of grey goods in the merchants' hands
is very low, and by the early stoppage of looms the manu-
facturers have acted wills equal caution, and prevented
accumulations which otherwise would have occurred, and
maintained their prices. In heavy goods, all wool, such as
merinos, the trade is very bad for the manufacturer, the
cost of material operating against cheap goods being pro-
duced.—Brodford Okermr.

CORN.-Binutho nem, Nov. 17.-During the present
week we have had a fair demand for wheat at about pre-
vious currency. Barley dull, and tending downwards.
Oats held for former prices. Beans more plentiful, and
peas less in request. At Wolverhampton, yesterday, the
trade ruled very dull, and no transaction in foreign wheat
reported. At this day's market there was a fair supply of
wheat, and the trade ruled very dull, but we do net alter
our quotations for any description. Barley of all kinds ls.
per quarter lower. Oats 6d. to Is. per quarter lower. On
beans and peas the turn was in favour of the buyer.
MANCHESTER, Nov. 17.-At our market this morning
there was a fair attendance, butt languid feeling prevailed.
Wheat ruled steady at late rates. Flour was in limited re-
quest, but cannot be toted cheaper ; indeed many millers
were asking more money. Oats and oatmeal were neglected
and might have been purchased on rather lower terms.
Dumas, Nov. 17.-We had a small supply of wheat
for the time of year, and the condition was very rough and
bad; the trade, however, was brisk, and all but the wont
lots met a ready sale at an advance of from 2s. to 3s. a qr.
Barley was in fair supply: all except the best malting
samples were somehat lower; tho very best barely main-
tained last week's prices, and, on the whole, the turn was
in favour of the buyer. Beans, old ones, were very scarce,
and were dearer; oats were also in better demand.
NRWARIE, Nov. N.-At our market to-day there was a
fair attendance, with a plentiful supply of samples, and a
brisk business. Wheat was largely offering, and was sold
better than last week. Barley was in good supply, bat trade
was fiat, and a decrease in value of 2e. per qr. took place.
Oats and beans were scarce, and old samples were of much
the same value as oefore reported. In other articles no
'alteration. Averages : Wheat, white, from 7135. to 805. ; red,
769. to 795. ; barley, new, 335. to 4.11.; oats, 345. to 365. per
24 stones ; beans, old, 625. to 635.
NEWBURY, Nov. 17.-We have this day a considerable
supply of wheat, and the condition somewhat improved, for
which there was a steady sale at fully late prices. The sup-
ply of barley not excessive, and a good demand, without
change in price. Oats, beans, and peas remain without
change.
UXBRIDGE, Nov. 17.-The trade is slow and unaltered
in value, with more offering today.
ER1,7117E011, Nov. 16.-We had in the market to-day
786 qrs. wheat, 1,971 barley, 1,106 oats, and 73 beans. There
were sold-wheat, 688 gra ; barley, 1,745 ; oats, 918 ; and
beans, 70. As compared with last week :-wheat was 2s.
down on top, and Ild. up on the average. Barley was 6d.
up on the top, and same on the average. Oats were Is. 4d.
down on the top, and 101. up on the ge. Beans
were Gd. up on the top, and 10d. down on the average.
We had a fair supply of grain is the market to-day.
If it had not been for the demand for seed wheat, prices
would have receded, consumers rather holding back than
buy at seed prices. Barley sold well, firmly maintaining
last week'a prices. Oats were a ready sale, and prices up,
while beans were brisk. Wheat, 88.. to 87s. Barley, 271.
to his. Oats, 14s. Bd. to 31s. Beans, 48s. to Gls. Weight
of top wheat, 6311b5.; barley, 571 lbs. ; oats, 45lbs. ; beaus,
64 lbs.

WATERFORD, NOV. W.—lnfluenced by the improved
accounts from London and Liverpool our market has fully
recovered the deprmsien cf last week, and prices of a.I
articles are the turn dearer. The amount of business pass-
ing is to a fair extent. Weather still tine, and Sild work
progressing rapidly.
