!XD MARKETS

SUGAR.—Balsroc, Nov. 6.—There has bet n, during
the week, a very good demand fur all description. of Itritsh plants.
lion sugars, to whirls, from the indisposition of iin;wter, to realise,
the supply is wholly inadequate, although the rates bete rule em•i-
derably higher than in Conlon or Liverpool, which is accounted for
by the pressure of large parcels on :haw markets by parties whom
circumstances compel to sell at ruinous rate.. balers' our market,
though usually governed to a considerable extent by Lind. price.,
has, throughout the panic, maintained itself with gm it tlrrone,.. In
no instance has there been any stoppage or even -; anir.a our
merchants or wbolmale dealers, and we believe that in nu part of the
kingdom does a better feeling and less distrust exist than m tha city.
The sales have been about 400 hogsheads of West India.

COTTON.—Livnaroot, NOV. 6.—There wag a firm mar-
ket to-day, but prices were nut higher. The quotations are -New

4,000 bales.
MANCHESTER, Nov. 6.—There has been rather more in-
quiry within Owe two day.; and, though transactions are limited,
and chiefly confined to immediate wants. they oboe a larger aggre-
gate amount of basinsss than we have bad of late. The principal
improvement has been in printing cloths; but both tn piece
feOliS and yarns, prices have been in favour of the buyer, pro.
dew en being influenced no doubt by the fall which has taken
place in the raw materiaL There is reason' to hope that
there have been but few extra hands thrown nut of employ.
meOt this week, and that the contraction of product:on has nearly
1 reached its lowest point. It is &Bina to get correct data by which
to estimate the actual amount or decrease in production since tots
time last year; the average amount of cotton, however, taken foe
' connumphon for the List ten months, shows a decrease of nearly 8,000
hales per week on the average consumption of 27 ,MOJ balm per week
Wt year—or &Soot one-fourth—and taking into coneideration that a
large diminution of redaction has lately taken piece upon what had
been previously effected, probably it is not too much to my that the
amount of cork turned off by our mills per week this time last year
was at least one-thirst more than at present. This limitation is causing
much distress amongst the workpeople, which La. been borne with
unexamplal patience hitherto, though reports prevailed here today
that a goad deal of excitement prevailed at nekton, and In districts
where the passions of the people have been chafed by attempt. to re-
duce wawa The home trade botwes are ruff doing a moderate amount
of burinem, but the travellers to these hoaxes report coneaderable diffi-
culty in getting money among the country drapers, and a great num-
ber of (admen amonmu those parties.
WOOLLENS.—LEena, Nov. 6.—There was only a small

I chairing limited quantities, of goods to euppiy their present orders.

HARDWARE.—BIRMINOHAM, Nov. 6.—Trade here
is still rather on the improve, the manufacturers being for the most
