COTTON GOODS.— MANCHESTER, Atounr 30. We
have had a very feverish and excited market for yarns and
cloths throughout the week. On Tuesday there was a rise
ID yarns of Id. per lb. as compared with the previous Fri-
day, and of 3d. as compared with the previous Tuesday,
and • good business was done in nearly all kinds. Yester-
day and today II further advance of 2.d. to 3d. per lb. was
realised, and both shippers and speculators have bought
rather freely. Agents who have been in the market for years
past say', they never remember anything like the excitement
and wik!sess which has characterised the trade. The sales
have been immense and mainly to hold on speculation. In
cloths• rather large business was done at 3d. to 6d per
piece advance, sod the busbies. has been considerable since
that day. Yesterday enormous sales of cloth were effected
at 124 to ltd. per piece over Tuesday's quotations, and the'
market closes withr.ut any symptoms of change). In cloth
nearly all the businessdone is reported to be on specula-
tion, and consequently there is no decrease of stocks in this
market worth mentioning, and as much of these must come
in for re-sale probably before many orders are given to make,
in case of a pause in the present mania, which must come
some time, the prospect for manufacturers is anything
but encouraging.

WOOLLEN CM/TH.—Um" Acnwrr 30.—The month
closes auspiciously, with a decided improvement in the
market. The halls this morning were well attended, and
a more spirited tone prevailed. lo the coloured market
several good parcels of tweeds and fancy coatings met with
purchasers. Witneys, beavers, and other autumn fabric.,
in various styles, constituted the chief demand in the white
MAIL Plain cloths were not much iniuired for. Prices re•
main firm, and in low goods exhibit an upward tendency.

HARDWARE.—BIRLINGHAII, Auoutrr 30.—There has
been a steady improvement is the state of trade in this town
fur the last fortnight ; • good number of orders have come
in on account of the home trade, and in foreign department
them is also more activity. The m►nufacturers engaged in
the production of the class of goods most in demand during
the autumn are getting busier; and an stocks in the hands
of the country shopkeepers are low, there appear& to be •
fair prospect of a steady, though perhaps moderate demand
for the fall. The gun trade continues brisk; the tube-makers,
edge•tool•makers, and metal-rollers, all of them important
branches, employing • great number of men, are doing an
average trade. The jewellers and others who are in the
fancy trades report business dull. The manufacturing
trades of the adjoining district show more life; for railway
fittings there are more orders in. and the principal works in
the neighbourhood of Wedoesbory arson at full time. The
iron trade is a little firmer; mine of the pig masters have
endeavoured to obtain an advance of prices, which has not
been wooded to.

GI'ILDFORD, AUGUST 14).—There was II liberal supply of

N6WCANII.6.IIrON•TYNE, AUGUR? 30.—At our market this
morning we bad a moderate show of wheat from the
growers, and although the arrivals from the coast are mode-
rate. with only little offering of foreign, the trade notwith-
standing has lost its elasticity ; farmers' samples being only
saleable at a reduction of ls. per qr., whilst only a moderate
business occurred in south cozntry or foreign at about pre-1
yious rates. Flour sold slowly, still lower prices were not
submitted to, the quantity offering being so insignificant.

in beans or peas. Oats in improved request, but no dearer.

tity of new wheat wan brought forward, and made from
46.. to 55e. per quarter for red ; and 535. to 575. per quarter
for white; the weight of both ranged from 571 b. to 631 b.
per imperial bushel, acoording to quality. There were •

' foreign, Va. to 275. per 24 stone.
Citroen, Auoonr 30.—This day's market, as might i.
expected from the fineness of the weather, was anythin„-
but well attended by the farmers, and yet there was a good
show of new corn, and also some very prime samples of
old, the prices for the latter varying from, for white, re:,
to 60e. ; red, 52a. to 561. ; new (white), 54... to 565. ; red.
52.. to 54.. Ii was generally remarked that the new wheat
. came in well, and that many of the samples were up to the
' mark in weight. A farmer in this locality cut a field of red
wheat which weighed 62!db. to the bushel. Mamplts of new
barley were rather plentiful, and yet act much doing. (rat
: (new) commanded from Va. to 305., the quality of the latter
priced being exceedingly good ; beans (old) were worth from
40e. to 45a. ; for new winter beans 40s. per quarter was
asked • flour, 40s. per sack ; good hay, 4f. per ton.

_ .
Prrgiumitocuu, Avaoyr AI —The continued fine weather
causes us to have a good supply of new wheat, and prices
to-day are 2s. to 3s. per. qr. below these of last week. We
get some fine quality both from the fens sail uplands, and
may therefore cooclude that the yield is not very lad.
Scarcely any spring corn offering.
READING, AUGUST 30.—There was only • short supply of
wheat at our market this looming, sod a limited attend.
mice. As may be anticipated busineea is very dull, and
purchase* were only made to meet present demands. t (1,1
wheat maintained its price, but new wheat, of which there
were a good many samples, had a downward tendency. The
condition was various. One hundred quarters were offered
in one lot at 625. per quarter. In other articles the trade
was purely a nominal character.

ROCHESTER, AUGUST 30.—At this eons exchange there
TM a good show of all descriptioes of grain, but most of the
farmers being employed no their farms, ere was a small
attendance. For best kinds of white wheat 1.. to 2. pee
qr. less money bad to be taken, and men at that concession
buyers were disinclined to operate, oomewiently business
was flat. There was a fair show of barley, which sold slowly
at about late rates, best malting making 366. U. to :Ms, and
grinding 26.. to 345. per qr. Oats were rather firm, beet
Poland@ selling at Zia to 28..

WISBECH, AUGUST 30.—We have had another week of
brilliant weather, and great progress be■ been made in
harvest operatics*. Half the crop is secured, and should
the weather continue fine another week very little will be
left in the fields. We had several samples of new canoe
offer torlay. Wheat vanes in quality, but the condition is
fine and weighs well. Oats very fine. White wheat makes
from 56e. to 59e., and red 555. to 575., 63lbs. per iimhel.
Oats Is. to Is. d. per stone. The supply of old wheat is very
limited. Prins to the grower :—Wheat, white, 7,5 a.

former rates. Oats nominally unaltered. Beans 2s. per
qr. cheaper. Peas maintained their value.

rate, and business was done at }rarely former currencies ,

taking place at Ws. to 325. per 30 stone. There was a
limited supply of cats, which met a steady sale at fair prices,
225. to 24a. per 24 dose.
KIRKCALDY, AUGUST 30.—We have hail another week of
floe weather, a continuance of which would much benefit
our growing crops. as well as hasten harvest. Here aid
there some trifles of barley have been cut, but we are yet fully
two weeks from any general harvest even on our best lands;
the uplands will be considerably later. At our country
markete, this week, we had more wheat offering, and the
demand being less animated, sales were made at le. per qr.
reduction. Oats were also nearly Is. per qr. cheaper. No
barley offering. Here, to-day, we had moderate supplies of
wheat and oats, and two samples of barley. Sides slow.
Wheat down Is. to 2e. per qr., and oats about 6.1. to Is.
per qr. lower than last week. Wheat, 50s. to 60s. per qr. ;
barley, 325. to 345. ; oats, 261. to 30s.
WATIRFORD, AUGUST 30.—A week of uninterruptedly
fine weather ham enabled our farmers to make considerable
progress with their harvest. A large breadth of wheat has
been secured io good condition, but the yield is expected to
prove decidedly light. The deliveries of Irish grain to our
market have been almost nil, and our foreign arrivals very
moderate. We have had only a limited busmen passing in
all articles at about previous rates. Wheat : the few sales
of foreign have been at prices slightly in favour of buyen.
Barley unaltered in value. Oats : old in a very small cam-
pass, and Gel. to 9d. per barrel dearer. New tawny worth .1
rather more money. Indian corn not so much inquired
for, and some ex.ship purchases have been made at a trilling
decline. Flour quiet, bat not lower. Imports this week :
Wheat, 5,1431 qrs. ; flour, 273 barrels, 50 sacks. F.xports
this week :—Wheat, 60 barrels; barley, 70 barrels; oats,
2,971 barrels; dour, 970 sacks ; oatmeal, 16 sacks.

CATTLE.—Caousta, Arcuter 20.—This being the first
market after our fair, the show of beasts; on the Sands this
morning wee exceedingly small, and business was very dull.
One small lot of Galloway heifer, in prime condition was
on offer, being on their way to Burnet, but none of them
were sold. There was aloe • small lot of Highlander,
shown, which were not inquired far. Small lots of Irish
were on offer, but even the supply in this class was very
limited. most of the dealers having taken their stocks on to
Bernet. The few lota on offer were mostly of very inferior
description, although there were exceptional animal" worth
purchasing. Prices asked ranted from 31. to 31. Its.
The show of sheep and lambs was this erorniog
usually large, and lota continued to arrive up till owe.
There were a considerable number of email lots
of Cheviots on offer, several lota of half-breda, most ci
which were of the best description, and two lot." of crosses,
the one numbering 2510, and the other 200. There was •
large attendance of dealers, many of whom roomed anxious
to make purchases if a reduction could he obtained. 2ts.
was the average price asked for half•breds, and Ire. for
creams. The show of pip was less than that of last week,
but the majority of those on offer were in very good con.
dition. There was • good attendance of buyers, and owing
to the low prioes and the somewhat limited supply, trade in
the morning was very brisk, a clearance being nearly effected
before noon. Prices ranged from lls. to 16.., the sales in
which higher rates were obtained being very limited.

THE STEAM SHIPPING.—We are enabled to re-
port more favourably of business connected with steam
■hipping during the month now concluded, than bad pre-
viously existed ; and there is every appearance of the coo.
tinuation of such activity for the present, at least. Several
sales of steamers have taken place, inclusive of some Ma-
nage for the French transport service ; sod inquiries stiff
prevail for vessels of large cammity, and for others of
medium sins and fast. La a rule, our builders are fully
' employed, and not much disposed to enter into additional
onitracta, unless at enhanced rates. The number of new
steamers unsold is limited. Ou charters, for time, s fair
amount of tonnage has been fixed, at current terms. Two
transports, on French account, have been so eogixed for
the conveyance of stores from France to Mexico ; and more
steamers of large tonnage are required. For the Baltic sod
Mediterranean trades, as improved feeling bas sriseu. Out-
ward freights of coal and iron bare been more middy
offered; but homeward cargoes are not easily obtained.
Steamers have been chartered at rather low rates for the
later fruit cargoes from the Western Islands. From Quebec
and Montreal good grain freights are offering, this, coupled
with available outward cargo, offers good employment for
vessels of suitable class sod tonnage.—(From the circular of
Messrs. Alfred Brett and Co.)
