MARKETS.

COTTON.—LivEaroot., Sept. I.—The market closed
vi.ry tamely, sod, compared with the currency of last seek,
si.ry little change can be noticed in prices. The export
buying to-day was in bowed, at sia. per lb., and Orleans
at bid. to /id.; and in many cases the miler conceded a
point. Sales, 6,000 bales, 1,600 for export and 600 on if-
' gelation ; comprising 90 Penman and Maranhao's, at .
to op. • 230 Bakis, at 61d. to 61d.; 300 Egyptian. at 6 d.
Ito 10ki. • 600 Swat, at 31d. to 41d. per lb. Import for
the week 20,000 balm.

MANCHESTZR, Sept. I.—Although the market his not
been very active, the sales have been sufficient to clear of
most of the production. The lower counts and qualities of
mule yarn have a downward tendency, but there is no
quotable change. Other kinds of twist, especially the higher
numben, are scarce and prices steady. Holders of cloth
are rather firm, and a fair business has been done, but the
orders are generally rather limited and for early delivery.

SILK.—The monthly circular of Messrs. H. Waithman
and Co. observes " The transactions in silk during the
past month have not been extensive, but generally at gra-
dually improving rates. In China silk moderate business
has been done at firm prices. The &dykes received per
Overland Mail, on the 29th ult., state that although prices
had opened much lower for the new silk, yet but very
limited operations had taken place, in consequence of the
very high rate of exchange (6s. 3d. to Os. 6d.) and the want
of available funds to purchase with ; these accounts have
rather tended to stiffen prices here. In Canton Bilk about
300 bales, old Meek of the finer sorts, have been sold at
14s. 6d. per lb.; a few inferior at 13s. 9d. per lb. ; and
some new silk of the coarser description at 14s. per lb. In
Bengal silk fair business has been done at slightly Unproved
prices. The deliveries still continue large. Italian silk :
The arrivals are small and those chiefly of the filatures that
had been contracted for, as prices are still ruling consider.
ably higher on the continent than here. Brass* silk—The
imports are only 6 bales. In Persian silk the better de-
scriptions have been more in demand, chiefly for export."
WOOL.—BRADFORD, Sept. I.—Throughout the week
there has been a marked dullness, and difficult as it is to
get supplies from the country, it is still more so to get prime
cost for them here. There have been but few sales making,
and those in comparatively small lots, to assort up spinners'
stocks, the prices demanded acting as a barrier to extended
operations. Noils and broke, are not altered since last
week.—Bradford Observer.

MANUFACTURES. BRADFORD, Sept. I.—Yarns :
The high prices now demanded for wool compel the spin-
ners to ask higher prices than at the opening of the month
just ended, but there is a decided unwillingness to give any
advance on any numbers, and the contracts made to-oar
are certainly under the average of months past. In reeled
larn the same difficulty exists, and the spinners complain
oudly of their profitless avocation. Pieces : The opening
of St. George's Hall appears to be engrossing all our
market business, for, during the hours when activity
is usually manifest, to-day has presented an unusual
degree of quietness, there being but few merchants passing ;
and since the close of the morning's performance, there has
been more discussing its merits than buying of goods, and
the day closes with flatness. Notwithstanding the lack of
sales, the cotton-warp dealers and wonted spinners have
been seeking further advances, which are impossible to be
given, for already the manufacturers cannot cover cost, and
sooner than be driven into this dilemma, they will allow
their looms to stand till either yarns recede or goods ad-
vance.—Bradford Observer.

CORN.—BinsfixciaAls, Sept. I.—During the present
week the weather has been showery, and on the sales made,
which have not been extensive, an improvement of about
2s. per qr. was realised. Some Irish grinding Barley
was sold in retail at 30s. per 1921ba. Other quali-
ties continue dull. Fine old Oats are not lower, but Irish
grey, of which kind our arrivals this week are large, are
offersng Ys. per qr. under previous rates. The millers ad-
vanced the retail price of Flour 3s. 4d. par sack on Tuesday.
At this day's market there was a large supply of Wheat
from the farmers, and the trade ruled dull for old at rather
over the currency of this day se'unight. New found buyers
readily at Bs. to 84. 3d. Good Barley In demand; other
sorts neglected. Oats rather lower. Beans held for rather
more money. Not much doing in Peas.

Bauiroi, Sept. 1.-The weather for the week has
been very unanited to the grain harvest, gusty days and
much wind prevailing ; and the clouded state of the sky,
and the consequent humidity of the atmosphere, greatly
retarding the ripening of the wheat. These circumstances
have produced an effect on the market, and wheat, both
English and foreign, must be quoted from le. to 2e. per
quarter above those of last week's market. It should be
stated, however, that millers evince an indisposition to
meet the high rates for which foreign eapei jelly is held.
For flour an advance of about le. per barrel and 21. per
auk hu been obtained. It is u yet early in the season for
malting, and but little is yet doing in malting barley.
Good grinding parcels meet with parchsaers, and was
somewhat dearer. In beans and oats there is a fair con-
sumptive trade doing at about last week's currencies.
The following ware the prices: English wheat, 68s. to
625. per imperial quarter; English red, -s. to -a. per
' ditto; foreign white, 58s. to 635. per 4801ba.; foreign red,
extra fine qualities, 60s. to Ws. Od. per ditto; fine quali-
ties, 50s. to 545. per ditto ; ordinary qualities, 47e. to 50s. per
ditto; foreign hard, 44e. Od. to 475. per ditto ; English

Dames, Sept. 1.-We had a large supply of Wheat for
the time of year, for which the farmers asked very high
terms. The Wainer done was at 3s. per qr. above last
week's prim, and a good clearance was made. There were
a few lots of new Wheat, the quality of which was pretty
good, but the condition generally inferior; ono lot of very
fine new white Talavera was sold by Mr. Rale, of Brom.
ham, at 34e. per sack : this was the top price given, and
the only lot realising that price ; the best parcel of new red
wu sold at 31s. per sack. Grinding Barley was in good
demand, and, with Oats, Beans, and Peas fully maintained
last week's prices. Rye, 19s. to 21.. per sack. Wheat,
white, 68e.; best red, 61s. to 641. per qr. ; middling, 50e.

Nawman, Aug. 31.-At our market to-day samples-of
all kinds of grain were abundant, and a fair business was
transacted. Wheat was moderately in request, andchanged
hand, at au advance of Is. to 2s. per qr. on last week's
rates. Grinding Barley was in request, and, although the
supply was good, sales were effected at higher rates ; all

stone.

NIWBUILY, Sept. I.—We have again to report a large
supply of Wheat, mostly old, for which high prices were
demanded, which led to an exceedingly dull trade, at about
the prices of last week. There was some quantity of new
in middling condition, for which there was a better sale at
12s. per qr. advance. But little doing in spring corn. We
have had some quantity of rain nearly all the forenoon.
Averages: Wheat, 455. 10d. per qr.; Barley, 291. Id.;
Buns, 435. sd.

WATERFORD, Aug. 31.—The absence of any arrivals of
grain since Saturday, together with the encouraging an-
Counts again received from the English markets, has caused
holders of Wheat to ask a further advance of Is. per bushel,
which however is very reluctantly paid by purchasers.
Indian Corn dearer by 34 per bushel. Oats without change.
Flour saleable at an improvement of ls. per sack.

' CATTLE.—Niewsu, Aug. 31.—At market to-day there
wu a large attendance, owing principally to the wet
weather, which hindered the farmers from getting un with
their harvest operations. Many sales were made. Prices
about the same as last week. There were 478 Sheep, 99
Busts, and 124 Pigs penned.
