MARKETS.

COTTON.—Livnitroot., Avn. 16.—The cotton market
was rather quiet all day, aril clraed avily, witly,ut any
material change in the prices current for the p. 04 latch.
'fhe sales have amounted to 5,000 bale.—'2,ooo for x port ;
and cu..iori.cd hoicks AnierCan., 100 r1.3t1,1 and M .ran-
hams, tiid. to 70. • 20 Egyptian, ficl.; 1,000 Surat, 4 1-16 d.
Import since Thai:day, 10,000 balm.

MANCIIIIIIITER, AUG. 16.—There has been a quiet mar-
ket. The circular of a cloth house here, just issued, says:
" Notwithstanding the receipt of further unfavourable
accounts from India, and the easier state of the cotton
market, caused by the rise in discounts, there is great
firmness on the part of producers, many of whom decline
to take orders during the present unsettled state of the
wages question. There is no change to notice in prices."
The same description applies to yarns. Ono of the causes
to which this quietness is attributed is the large amount of
purchases made in anticipation of the settlement of the
Russo-Turkish question, during the last few weeks, by
merchants and agents, whose stocks are cenwquently now
in a condition, to 110M3 extent, to meet the requirements of

is still a fiat market for India.

WOOLLEN CLOTH.—LuDs, Aro. 16.—We have
had an excellent market to-day. In both the Cloth Halls
there has been considerable briskness and animation, and a
good business at firm prices.

WOOL. HUDDERSFIELD, Aug. 16. The spirited
manner in which the sal*• in London maintained their price
up to the conclusion has given great firmness to the market,
and manufacturers, knowing that prices will not be lower,
are buying very freely.

MANUFACTURES.—HVIMMRSTIELD, Aug. 16.—The
demand for manufactured goods of nearli all sorts usually
nought to this market, has to-day been pretty bri,k. The
impression which prevailed a few weeks ago, that the price
of the raw material would be lower, and which in some de-
gree checked operations, has now vanished, and business
generally appears to have resumed its former confidence.

CORN.-11flu, Aug. I6.—The weather has been unin-
terruptedly fins during the put week, and must have bene-
fited the growing crops ; un..er such influence business is
suspended. We think this is the best description of the
existing state of things, ss any decline quoted must be fal-
lacious, when importers land everything, and millers or
dealers buy nothing. To-day we had a moderate show of
Wheat from the farmers, and under the combined effect of
a hot sun and dull reports from Mark-lane a low market
was expected. Farmers were, however, quite nnwilling to
submit to any decline on last week's prices, and buyers
lacking the courage to meet their views, a most
limited business resulted. The accounts as to
Wheat crop and Potatoes not improve. Foreign
samples of Wheat almost entirely withdrawn. For
all descriptions of spring corn there is a steady con-
sunap•ive demand, but speculation is wanting. Indian Corn
and Dari continue in request. Linseed continues to arrive
freely, but owing to the crushers being the principal im-
porters, only a small portion comes on the market, which,
as well u for Cases, is well supported. Nothing doing in
Rapeseed, but Cakes fetch our quotations. Imports from
Aug. 6th to Aug. 12th :—Wheat, 7,471 qrs. ; Barley, 1,750;
Oats, 1,658 ; Beans, 700 ; Peas, 80 ; 'tares, 95 ; Linseed,
12,212.
Leans, Amo. 16.—The decline of Mark-lane has de-
pressed the trade here to-day, and prices of wheat have
given way Is. to 2s. per qr. from Friday. Barley nominal.
Oats and shelling rather easier. Beans scarcely bring so
much money. Other articles as before. Arrivals this week
Wheat, 3,778 ; Oats, 62 ; Barley, 9 ; Beans, 1,127 ; Malt,
64; Rapeseed, 604 ; Linseed, 1,000.
Istvan-Pow, AVOUST 16.—At our market this morning
there was a fair attendance of the town and country trade,
and a moderate demand was experienced for wheat, at about
Friday's prices, being Id. per 701bs. under those current on
this d week. American flour was is good request, and
3d. to 6d. per barrel d , good sound parcels, suitable
for holding, being esleable at 275. to 275. 3d. per barrel
for Western Canal, 275. 6d. to 28s. for Baltimore and Phi-
ladelphia, and 28s. Gel. for Ohio. French and Spanish flour
fully maintained their value. Oats met with a slow sale,
at id. per 45Ibs. decline ; a parcel of Irish new tawny
brought 3s. per 45Ibs. Oatmeal was difficult to sell,
although offered at 235. 6J. per load, or Gd. to Is. per load
decline. Some new, however, the first arrival of the
season, sold at 28.. to 29a. per load. Barley, beans, and
pease were withoutmaterial alteration either in value or de-
mand. Indian corn on the spot was decidedly easier to buy,
and Galata afloat was obtainable at 321. 6d. and Ibraila at
31e. per quarter, being a decline of Gd. to Is.
.per quarter.
In floatiug cargoes of wheat no transactions transpired.
Arrivals into Liverpool from the 9th to the 15th Aug.,
inslusive :—Wheat, 8,823 qrs. ; Barley, 9; Malt, 52; Oats,
1,405 ; Beans, 619; Indian Corn, 1,800; Oatmeal, 379
sacks; Flour, 778 sacks ; 1,672 brie. Exports to Ireland :
Wheat, 603 qn. ; Beans, 31; Indian Corn, 1,287 ; Indian
Corn Meal, 60 brls. ; Flour, 2,207 sacks ; 870 brls.
LINN, Aug. 16.—Most of our farmers being engaged
with harvest, the supply of Wheat was small, the demand
trifling, and 21. to 3a. per qr. lower. A few samples of new
Wheat, quality floe, and taken by the millers at 50s. to 525.
per qr.

NEWCASTLE, Aug. 16.—The weather has become dull
and lowericg, and as the barometer within the last twenty-
tour hours, has been gradually sinking, rain may be ex-
pected. At our market this morning we had a moderate
show of Wheat from the growers, and although we have
little addition to our arrivals since Saturday, the depressing
accounts from Mark-lane had the effect of causing great
caution to be exercised by our millers who bought sparingly
at a decline of Is. per qr. In Flour scarcely a
transaction occurred, notwithstanding holders would have
made a reasonable concession to have promoted business.
Rye had no buyers excepting at a feeding price. Grinding
Barley war in less request, and fully Is. per cheaper.
Choice Malt in demand, and tending upwards. In Beau
and Peas little change. Oats a shade cheaper, with a more
limited inquiry.
SALISBURY, Aug. 16.—There was not much business
doing at our market this day, although there was a tolerable
attendance. Notwithstanding the decline of prices at
Mark lane yesterday, there war little or no variation
here, which, in a measure, was occasioned by the rains
which fell for some hours this morning. A sample of new
Wheat, which weighed 12 score 7 lbs., was disposed of at
265. 6d. per sack. In other descriptions of grain the trade
was merely nominal.

CATTLE.—SALISIIIIRT, Aug. 16.—At our market this
morning we had a larger supply of Beasts than usual, and
there was no deficiency in quality; we had a fair
attendance of buyers; but, notwithstanding, business gene-
rally speaking was anything but brisk. The best descrip-
tions of Ox Beef maintained last market's quotations, but
other descriptions had a downward tendenc There was
more than an average supply Sr Sheep and Lambs penned
to-day, and considerably in excess of the demand, conse-
quently the trade ruled very inactive, and prices for
a 1 kinds show a decline. There was but a very small show
of Calves, which sold at the quotation of this day se'nnight.
The number of Pigs was about an average, and, there being
a good demand, rather higher prices were obtained. Prices:
Best Ox Beef, 10a. 6d. to Ils. 6d. per snore ; cow and heifer,
ditto, 9s. to 10s. Best Dawn Mutton, 7d. to 71d. per lb.;
long- woolled and inferior, 6d. to 6p. Lamb, 71d. to Bd. ;
Veal, 614. to 74.; Pork, fresh and salt, 7d. to Bd. per lb.,
and 9s. 6d. to 10s. 6d. per !score ; Bacon, green, Bd. to 81d. ;
dry, 9d. to 10d.; ditto, per score, 10s. to lls. Store Pigs,
28s. to 30s. each.
