MARKETS.

COTTON.—Livnaroor., Auo. 23.—The market closed
heavily, and compared with the rates current on Friday,
prices of all descriptions were without material change.
The sales have been estimated at 4,000 bales, comprising
3,000 Americans (800 for export and 200 on speculation) ;
140 Peruses and Maranham, 7d. to Bd. ; 400 Egyptian, 60.
to 12d. ; 200 Surat, 4d. to 6d. ; and 60 Sea Islands, 22d. to
2s. 7d. per lb. Import since Thursday 60,000 bales.
MaNcuserna, Avo. 23.—The market is very quiet, and
scarcely any business has been transacted. There has been
a steady demand for the home trade, at former rates, but
the export trade has been very dull, both for goods and
urns, and the tendency of prices is in favour of the buyer.
w numbers of yarns, both for export and home consump-
tion, are obtainable on rather easier terms. Thirty-two's
cops, from which shirtings for India are manufactured, are
rather lower in value ; spinners, however, are not pressing
for orders. Goods for India, and mule yarns also for that
quarter, are offering pretty freely. The amount of stocks
on hand, however, is not so great as it usually is after such
• lull in business as there has been for the past fortnight.

WOOLLEN CLOTHS.—Lnans, At/o. 23.—We have
no change to report in the state of the market today:
about an gs business has been done. Considering the
paucity of stocks, and the consequent want of choice goods,
• larger business has been done than might have been
expected.

WOOLS.—NODOICISSPIELD, Aug. 23.—Now that the
sales are concluded, we have an abundance of Woo! in the
market, and a goad business doing at firm prices, particu-
larly is the better classes of colonials.

DIANtFACTURES.---HUDDEItaFIRLD,Aug.23.—There
has been a spirited demand to-day for all descriptions of
seasonable goods, which were mostly cleared in good time,
and, in addition to this, some of our manufacturers are
quite busy making to order, and deliver these goods direct
to the merchants, which causes an unusual degree of activity
throughout this manufacturing district.

CORM—HULL, Aug. 23.—We have had another week of
fine weather, and if it holds a few days longer, cutting will
be pretty general throughout this district. Our reports speak
of the improvement in general appearance within the lad
three weeks, and if well housed, we shall have some fine
quality, but, that the crop is a light one is beyond all
doubt. We have not worse reports as to the potato crop.
The position of the trade during the past week has been
precisely as we reported it last Tuesday ; a mutual indispo-
sition for business on the part of both importers and millers,
hardening, however, daily in favour of the former, who for
once have been bold enough to act in unison, and land
everything. Some sales have been made at extreme rates,
of chambered Wheats for France, and are now in course of
shipment thither. Further business is likely for that country.
We had today a small supply of Wheat from our own
farmers, who, as usual, were in no respect sky in taking
advantage of the briskness of yesterday's Mark-lane; they
asked boldly 51. to 6e. per qr. more money, and both
millers and dealers bought freely at 3s. to 4s. Very little
foreign Wheat offering. The bumblers done was at an
, advance of 3s. to 4s, per qr. A consumptive demand for
all kinds of Spring Corn, and each article the turn dearer ;
more particularly Beans, of which there are none now
afloat. Indian Corn and Dari go off at our currency. The
Linseed market unaltered; with a continued demand for
cake. Nothing done in Rapeseed; but Rape cakes fetch
long prices. Cattle Bones sell as they arrive at our cur-
rency. Imports from Aug. 13th to Aug. 19th:—Wheat,
8,163 qrs. ; Barley, 666; Oats, 2,341 ; Beans, 349 ; Peas,
70; Linseed, 13,569 ; Oil Cakes, 270 tons ; Bones, 178.

LEADS, AVG. 23.—We are fairly supplied with Wheat
there is a moderate business passing at 3a. per quarter
over Friday's rates; but sellers generally asking a greater
advance, tends to check sales. Barley nominal. Oats and
Beans steady. Other articles as before. Arrivals this
week:—Wheat, 7,113; Oats, 15; Barley, 69; Beans, 81;
Rapeseed, 175; Linseed, GOO.

LIVIIRPOOL —Aro. 23.—At this day's market there
was a good attendance of our town and country trade, but
few buyers from a distance. A large business, chiefly spe-
culative, WIVI done in American wheat and flour, at an ad-
vance of 6d. per 701 ht. on the former and Is. 6d, to 2s. per
barrel on the latter article. Sack flour was comparatively
neglected, but may be quoted Is. per sack dearer. Old
mealiag o.its were steady in value, but new were Id. to 2d.
per 45Ibs. lower. Old oatmeal was rather more saleable,
and 3d. per load dearer, whilst new being more plentiful,
declined ls. per load. Barley, beans, and peas were with-
out change in value or demand. Indian corn on the spot
met with a retail demand, at late rates. Floating cargoes,
however, were more inquired for, and slightly dearer.
Arrivals into Liverpool and Runcorn from the 16th to the
22nd Aug : Wheat, 66,896 qrs.; Barley; 1,860 ; Malt, 1,986;
Oats, 3,258 ; Beans, 6,740 ; Peas, 959 ; Indian Coro, 10,745;
Indian Corn Me►l, 111. sacks ; Oatmeal, 523; Flour, 8,409
sacks, and 115,656 brie. Exports to Ireland: Wheat, 630
qrs. ; Indian Corn, 623 ; Flour, 966 sack., and 740 lot's.
LYNX, Aug. 23.—A moderate supply of old and new
Wheat at market to-day, which was taken at an advance of
4s. to ss. per qr. Scarcely any other grain at market.

NEWCASTLE, Aug. 23.—The weather since Satur-
day last has been peculiarly fine, but to-day there are
symptoms of a change for the worse, the barometer show-
ing a tendency to decline. At our market this morning we
had moderate show of Wheat from the growers as well as
from the coast, for which a ready sale was experienced
at an advance of 2a. per qr., but this improvement
did not extend to Flour, which was offered freely
at Saturday's rates, viz., 38s. to 395. per sack for house
hold. For the best runs of Norfolk red, 665. to 675.;
per qr. was readily accorded, and 584. for choice Scotch
white, whereas the best descriptions of foreign met atten-
tion at the following prices.-58s. for extra Rugenvalde
red, 695. 6d. for Rostock, and 58a. for fair runs of mixed
Danzig; other sorts selling at rates corresponding. New
Rye was inquired for; grinding Barley rather lower, with
leas doing. Malt @gain the turn dearer, and the same re.
auks will apply to other articles.
