The weather since the cotnineneement of the month

The solemn-sown whist has gins • decidedly short
INA to the acre, and port of that 10w a in spring t es been
whol:y lint, or is, at all events, unfit fur hwuen food. The
wheat trade has, nevertheless, become much quieter
the last week ur two, and a .eight reaction has even taken
place is prices. This pause we attribute mainly to the fears
racially eatertaiueil of increased scarcity of money, and
▪ coosesinent determination on the part of merchants and
others to discourage speculative investments. The sad ea-
rnest, of 1817 is still too fresh in the memories of all to be
overlooked, sod there is sus lionised desire to decline Masi.
gess atteaded with any hied of risk. The precaution
which has all along been exercised is the best guarantee or
fatale safety ; and though ea increase is the value of money
wdl laterally have the effect of contracting business in
gala is the same way as other mere:aitile operations, we
helots the Curs trade to be in as sound a sta:e to meet the
didieultie of a contracted circulation as any other branch
Of commerce.

The decline is the price of wheat trots the highest point
bas bola about Is. to 2.. per qr. at must of the leading pro-
vincial markets. At Liverpool there were • few pressing

M Tuesday a Iles of the article were made at a reduction of
Ss., sad in partial cues 2s. bd. per brl. A portion of this
&thee was stibeetincetly recovered, and on Friday • good
business was done at rates very little below those previ-
ously current.

In addition to the cause above referred to, the down-
wird airmen .01 in prices has no doubt been assisted by
the iner ased arrival. of wheat from abroad. A pre-
valence of westerly winds the latter part of last month
kept bock vessels from the Baltic, and for a week or two
the supplies were comparatively small; latterly we have
bad t►e wind from the east, and a large number of com-
bat. ships have reached our coast. Them will probab:y
be followed by the remainder of the fleet in the wore
of the sett eight or ten days, but afterwards we m■y cake.

the Lower Baltic ports having been very moll of late
sad those from Danzig having fallen off. Meanwhile,
there appears a probability of a revival in the French de.
mad, the latest advices from thence stating that pre.
viAis supplies had been worked up pretty dimly, and that
after a period of calm, prices had again begun to rise at the
pnneipal consuminz towns. The Eastern question is still
praised in great doubt and uncertainty, and war between
Russia end Turkey is quite as likely as a peaceable arrange-
ment of the dispute. It is therefore very questionable
whether any portion of the large streks of wheat lying at
WOOS and Galata will be shipped off before winter onto iu
and puts •stup to the navigation. Such being the panties
of affairs at home and abroad,it may be questioned whether
prices of what can recede materially, and CifololBtitllC4ll
might easily occur to give a fresh impetus to the upward

We have eadeavoared, in the foregoing rematks,to avoid•
exaggeration io any shape. We would rather allay than
moorage alarm; but the fact that Great Britain and
Frame will bath to import to make good the deficiency of
wetly, if not quite, one-third in the produce of the se-
'paws wheat crops of these great bread-consuming
asatries, is of too much important* to be disguised; and
we mailer the economy of consumption, which a com-
parative high range of prices is sure to occasion, toe best

Kos of the Adria' from the Baltic agree in stating that
41tality of the new wheat is decidedly inferior to the
an of last year, the wet weather during h having
lateen. e injury. The quantity is, at the same time,
tl to be considerably less than in good ge sea.
• Lad stocks of old having been reduced into a very
Areompase, the more subdued accounts from hence
(riled to iufluence prices materially.
into Konigsberg we learn that the stock of wheat of lest
trowth smounted to only 16,000 qrs., and that the
cf the new brought forward had proved so damp
16tt itedn it wholly unfit for shipment. Ice this position
~
titan little business had been done, the prices asked for

the Hoer kind. of old in werehouse having been consider-
ably above the limits of the British orders.

At Dentsig, on the 11th of October, there was less in-
clination to buy wheat than the preceding week, hut there
wee not mach actual giving way in prices. A lut of Lower
Polish new wheat, about 3io quo., han been receireJ, the
weight not 'needing 58Iba. to 59Ibs. per bush. I, a hie l, had
sold at equil to 595. per qr., free on board. In Uposr
Poland the harvest had been better secured, and a finer
quality was earseted to be received from thence in the
spring.

Stettin letters of Tuesday's date inform us that li.ildsrs of
wheat hid become somewhat more anxious to reati•c, acd
that purchases might have been made on easier t. ryas than
the week berate. With positive orders in hrnit. good Gl!' ho
red Stettin wheat might prohably have been bought at Me.
per qr., cost and freight ; and a lot of su.arior high mired
Polish, weighing 62105. per bushel, had been .tr..red im 65..
par qr., free on board. The last charters had b. en at
.is. 3d. to as. 6d. per qr. for London. Hardly any spring
core had eome forward, and prices of barley and o..ts were
relatively higher than in the English tnaikets.

At }LIMO., on Tuesday, the trade was quiet, but liJlilers
r. eosin. d exceedingly firm. Supplies of the r.ew
crop had come to hand very sparingly, and the quality is
net well spoken of. Prices had ranged irons 6:ls. to
bis. per qr., free uu hoard, according to qu.tity, ati,rht,
and condition.

At Hantburgh, on Tees4lay, there was not much il.,ing
in wheat ; but prices were *WI very high there, as much
as 725. per qr. hating been paid fur r‘d Upland el only
58.ba.

L the Dutch markets The tend, ncy of prizes has continued
upwards, and white Zealand wheat was 50. per qr. 11,gher
at Roth rd.sm on 11.mday than on that day week.

114,1 determined to prohibit the ezport of potatoes .sfts r the

The most recent advice* from Prance state that, slier a
calm of some duration, the demand for wheat and II our
had again revived under the conviction that the short..ess
of the h t would be found to become griater than had
been previously supposed. At Paris, en Wednesday, a
risen( one to two francs per sack took place in the value
ut dour, in consequence of a lively consumptive demand.
The tendency of prices appears also to have been uycards
at Havre and Nantes; and from the south the adricbs arc
again becoming excited.

la the Mediterranean markets a fresh impetuv sc, ass
also to have been given to priers of wheat. At Leghorn
the .apply had hardly kept :pace with the conpuraptire
demand; and for Mananopoli, rquvl to 635. per qr., fres
on board, bad been paid. At Genoa the value of the arti-
cle was still higher, equal to his. 6d. up tu6ss. 9d. h►ving
been given for Marianopoli sod Btrdiensl43, and 624. to
63a. 4d. for Polish Odessa.

Front the Black S. we learn that the careity of xhir-
ping and the uncertainty of p 4ffairs had interfered
materially with business, and that the want of export de.
mend had caused prices so decline. At Galata, good qua-
lities of wheat had been offered at 27.., but freight to the
United Kingdom wag 21s. 6d. per qr.
The latest &deices from America state that the stocks of
flier at the ports on tie seaboard were not by any means
large, and that the snivels from the interior hai
very far short of expectation. Holders bad consequently
raised their pretensions', and good brands of Western Canal

GLASGOW, SCSDAT AFTERNOO3.—The steamer
Islay arrived at the Brownielaw esrly this morning with
40 passengers, saved from the dieastrons wreck of the Annie
Jane. They left Barra in a small sailing smack ou the
morning of Wednesday last, and, arriving at Tobermory is
the course of the same night, were thence forwarded to
Glasgow. The majority of ;he passengers are pretty well
attired, having obtained clothing from the wrack of the
boles which were cast ashore ; tut many are totally penni.
less, and 18 of the number had to receive food and shelter
daring the night in the Police-office. Captain Mason, with
the remainder of the passengers, including most of the
women, still remains on Barra.

THE POTATO CROP.—We are enabled to state, as
the resell of inquiries very generally prosecuted an the
counties of Louth, Down, Meath, Monsghan, and Armagh,
being the counties that come under our cognisance, di •t
though great injury has been dine to the potato crop, the
recent heavy rains extending the progress of the disease, a
large and abundant yield will yet, making ample allowance
for all losses, reward the lablur of the husbandman, and
that the crop will be more than an average one. The fla•
Your of the potato this season is also excellent. Owing to
the attire progress of final harvest operations, and the im-
pute' given to farmers, by high prices, in bringing grain to
market, the supply of potatoes fur sale has nut been so large
as usual, ■nd, in consrquence, the price has greatly ad-
vanced, so high a sum u 13,1. per 'tone being now obtained.
This drawback as to scarcity ~ed dearness, however, con-
veys the gratifying assuranes that the farmers have no fears
of the remainder of the crop, as if the blight continued to
advance the market WOlll4 be gluttcd with potatoes.— Loath

THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 18, 1853.

CLOSING OF TER PRESTON COTTON

MILLS.

TWENTY•FIVE THOUSAND PERSONS OUT OF
EMPLOYMENT.
Mao the Norikern Daily Times.)

On Saturday afternoon the various mills in Pres-
ton, and its 'Malin, in which the notices to the hamla had
expired, were closed; and upwards of 15.000 edditiunal
persons are thus left with Out employment. On Friday and
Saturday, no less than thirty-six mills were closed, and if
we add the number closest for a few weeks previously, ten,
we have a grand total el (cuprite mills sow absolu•ely
closed, and in which there is an entire suspension of 1714(1U-
lecturing operations. There are yet runn.ng four mils,
which ore under notice to close, so that in a few days the
number of mills closed will be upwards of fifty, only eight
mills in the whole district eontinuilig operations. Tor
number of mill hands at Prestuni is estimated at about
30,000, and the somber who are now walking slim% the
streets of Preston, without employment, is set down
at from 20,000 to 25,000 person,. The amount of,
wages paid weekly, et the 'minus mills now
closed, is stated to have been from 12,000/. to 13.1sior.
The immediate withdrawal eit so large an amount moo
operate very injuriously on the trade and general business
of the town. To enable the huge number of human being.
who are now without employment to exist, the cemmitts e
of the Operative Union proposes to pay them weekly a son
of 4,0001 , and they dirge their nands are sufficiently s•rolig
to enable them to continue this payment for some weeks.
In the ineantim • delegates are to be deputed to visit all the
principal towns in the kingdom to solicit sosistance from
the operative claws of those towns to enable those of
Preston to prolong their struggle with the employer', unit
to compel them. it possible, to Meld the 10 per cent. on
present prices. 'Thus far we have indications of an obst nate
and ruinous struggle, tenth/rid less likely to be brought to
an amicable or speedy conclusion by a strung belief on the
pert of the hands that the masters cannot long afford to
keep their mills closed, mid a feeling on the part of the
masters, amounting almost to a certainty, that then • i-
ties of the hands, when without employment for a few
weeks, will bring them to their senate, mod induce them to
submit nut only to the terms which they now propose, but
to any which they may then think fit to insist upon. This
is the present pia ition of the unfortunate misunderstanding
which has arisen between the employers and the emplo)eit
at Preston, and until either party succumb, or some Derange.'
anent is come to, even supposing the union is enabled to
continue the payment of &POOL per week, the business
operations of the town must tuner to the extent of 8,0001.
per week, or in the ratio of the very large sum of 400,0001.
per annum. The prospective loss of this sum, and the dill,
cultio sin which it moist involve shopkee;.ers and others,
have necessarily caused a great deal of eacitement an:onget
persons in business, and they are not sl-w to attach blame
to all panics ref u have taken any part in producing the
present •• . The general Iselin, however, seems to be
that if some slight conesssions on imm.terial points on
the pan of the molten, and men were made, the strike, or
rather "luck out," as it is now called, might be speedily
terminated, and betimes allowed to resume its noun
course. On the other hand, the operative clans 5, nut alone
of Preston, but of several towns in Lancashire, Cheshire, &c ,
are favourable to the course taken by the "Lock outs," and
have determined to 'tarpon them to the last. So far as the
trades of Preston are concerned,this was clearly exemplified
on Friday evening, when a meeting iris held at the
Farmers Arms, at which 15 trades were represented, com-
prising stearipengine-wskers, boiler-makers, mechanice,
tin-p.ate worker,, stone masons, bricklayers, joiners, fin-
gers, slaters, &e. An unanimous resolution come to was,
to support the lock-outs to the best of the ability of the
various trades, and a form of placard was drawn up, an-
nouncing to the public the determination of various trades,
to do so. The following is a fist of mills closed, under
