MARKETS.

COTTOM—LIVERPOOL, ArGrET 18.—The market clawed
heavily, and prices are in the buyers' favour. Sales, 1000
bales-500 by exporters, and comprising 70 Pernams and
Maranhams, Bid. to 70. ; 50 Bahia, 7d. ; 300 Egyptian,
62d. to 10d. ; 300 Surat, 3f d. to 41,1. ; 50 Sea Islands,
Is, 10d. to 24 6d.

MANCHESTER, ACHCST 18.—The market is very quiet,
both for goods and yarns, there being very little business
passing either for the home trade or for export. There is
no change in prices, neither is there any pressure on the
market, but every inc teems to prefer looking on to ope-
rating. This is partially attributable to the tightness in
the money market. Home trade yarns are very scarce, hat
the demand for them is not very active. The India de-
mand is exceedingly flat, and there is a good deal of stock
offering.

WOOL.—lluanroftn, Aug. 18.—There is no increased
disposition to buy English Wool, and, from the high prices
sought by the country dealers and growers, it would appear
that they are unwilling to accept prices at which sales
might be made. Fur Botany combing there has been more
doing, and the market pretty well cleared. Nods and broke
are without any change.—Bradford Obaerv:r.
MANUFAC rt; RES. BRADFORD, Aug. 18.—Yarns :
There is a fair demand for yarns, but the prices are too low
to meet the price now demanded for wool ; and if the raw
material cannot be had on better terms, either yarns must
rise, or the production be lessened. Piece': There is a to-
lerably active demand, and in the warehouses, for finished
good., an average business doing. The accounts from Ame-
rica are represented as favourable, so it is not improbable
that, era long, we may again be busy for that market.—
Bradford 06serrer.

CORN.-11ntwitionsal, AVGE6T 18.-At Gloucester
market, on the 13th, English wheat was 21. per qr. lower,
and foreign declined ls. per qr.: at Worcester, the same
day, English gave way 2s. to 35., and foreign Is. to 2s. per
qr. Barley unaltered, with some inquiry for good qualities.
Irish oats Gd. per qr. cheaper. On beans the turn was in
favour of the buyer. Peas nominally unaltered. During
the present week, the weather having become unsettled
and rainy, we have more firmness in the wheat trade, and
the tales made are at fully previous currency. Barley quite
as dear, and good grinding scarce. Oats Gd. to lo per qr.
lower, but this does not extend to Dutch or English. Beans
and peas taken in retail, at former prices. At this day's
market there was a fair supply of wheat, which sold readily
at the currency of this day se'nnight. Barley less in re-
quest, and rather cheaper. Irish oats 61. to Is. per qr.
lower, but Dutch and English were quite as dear. Beans
and peas maintained their value, with a slow sale for both.
BRISTOL, ALTOEST 18.-The weather has again been very
unsettled, producing a firmer feeling as to future prices of
wheat, yet on English we must note a further decline in
the week of about 2s. per qr. ; foreign remaining nearly as
before, but with limited sales. Flour Is. per sack lower.
Barley in more request, at an advance of Gd. per qr. Oats,
including new, Gd. to Is. per qr. lower. Beans cheaper.
DEVIZES, Aug. 18.-We bad a large supply of Wheat for
the time of year, and it was the best selling market we have
had for some time. There were several new buyers from
Bath and Bristol, and a brisk trade was done, last week's
prices being fully maintained, and in some instances an ad-
vance on them being established : a good clearance was
made. There were three lots of new Wheat pitched ; one
of white Talavera, of very superior quality, was sold for 295.
a sack ; the other two were red Wheat, and were sold at 264.
In Oats, Beans, and Peas, no alteration to note. Wheat, hest
red, 555. to 58s. per or. ; middling, 445. to 5.55.; inferior,
365. to 445. Barley, 245. to 325. Oats, 20s. to 275. Beans,
40s. to 465. Peas, 34, to 495. Flour, fine, per sack, 40s.
to 435. ; seconds 38s. to 40s.
NEWARK, Aug. 17.-At our market to-day the attend-
ance was but small, owing mainly to the very unfavour-
able weather during the past night and this morning, rain
having fallen for upwards of thirteen hours. Very little
business was done in the Corn trade, nor was there any
perceptible variation in price from last week's report. Two
samples of new Wheat were shown but remained unsold.
Ha operations are becoming general in this district,
and it is hoped the produce will be good. Averages:
Wheat, white, from 565. to 58s. ; red, 525. to 635. Bar-
ley, grinding, 30s. to 31s. per 30 stones. Oats, 245. to
255. per 24 stone. Beans, 445. to 4,55. per 38 stone.
NEWBURY, Aug. 18.-Our market was again moat
largely supplied with Wheat, for which there was but little
demand, at a still further decline of 2s. per qr. upon the
small quantity sold ; there were three lots of new in toler-
able condition, and of good quality ; the prices made were
68e., 605., and 635., the latter Talavera. But little doing in
spring Corn, though not lower ; one sample of new Peas,
not hard, but fine in quality.
UXBRIDGE, Aug. 18.-The supply of Wheat is good,
with several parcels of new on sale, the best of which made
60s. per qr. New winter Oats, 21s. to 245. With recur-
rence of fine weather, the trade is dull and rather lower.
EDINBURGH, Aug. 17.-We had in the market to-day
790 qrs. Wheat, 46 qrs. Barley, 653 qrs. Oats, and 57 qrs.
Beans. There were sold-Wheat, 758 qre.; Barley, 46 qrs. ;

week: Wheat was ls. down on the top, and 2d. up on
the average. Barley was 2s. 3d. down on the top, and
4d. up on the average. Oats were 41. down on the
top, and 7d. on the average. Beans were ls. down
on the top, and 7d. down on the average. We had
net so large a market to-day. The demand for Wheat
was good, and the parcels being generally very fine, the
average went up 2d. Barley also went off- quickly. Oats
were ready, but declined in value. Beans were quick.
Wheat, 495. to 575.; Barley, 31s. ad. to 355. 9d. ; Oats,
19s. 4d. to 245. 4d. ; Beans, 401. to 46,. Weight of top

WATERFORD, Aug. 17.-Without any arrivals of foreign
'grain since Saturday, our market has been exceedingly
quiet for every article in the trade at the currency of last
week. Prices, however, are pretty well maintained, and
holders in general look forward to any early improvement.
