MARKETS.

Sr. rETISROBI:RO, Sept, 10.
London letters of the 3rd September received.—Bristles
have latterly been quiet, though with a Wight advance in
the quotations of some descriptions.—Corn: Both wheat
and rye continue in request, checked only by the want and
uncertainty of ship room; the former without alteration in
price. For rye, 5.85 co. (204 ro. bco.) paid both for delivery
this and next month, and en contract for May next.—
Deals quite nominal.—Flax: Nothing done; but a minor
dealer's parcel of flax, and some cedilla in second hands,
are both withdrawn from the market; and them steins
more firmness —lberop : A few hundred tons have been
done at 95 to 94 co. for claw ; 87 to 86 ro. for outshot ; and
84 to 82 ro. for half clean. Serene. sellers from secendhand
are appearing, and as piece!. are daily arriving by rail, and
the estimates of the quantity coming this way are increasing,
buyers have withdrawn.—Linseed : The purchase of Gjatsk,
mentioned in our last, was extended to 4,000 chets., at 23i
ro.; since then little done, except by Russians to cover their
contracts for the month, or carry them forward in conse-
quence of their goods being delayed.—Potashes: Dull at
56 ro.—Tallow : Little doing, except in purchases on Rus-
sian account, 145 ro. to complete contracts for the month,
or prolongations to the 15th September, at 1 to 2 ro., in
consequence of the non-arrival of the goods. 300 casks
taken at 144 ro. For September it may be had at 143 ro. ;
and sellers talk of 135 ro., 10 down, for August next.—
Freights continue very firm, and room scarcely to be had.

per too ; linseed, t London, Be. per quarter; tallow, to
London, 495., to West Coast, 565., per ton ; wheat, to Lon-

COTTON.-14vmPoot, SErr. 17.—The market closed
very tamely and heavily, without change in prices. The
sales were estimated at 4,000 b2les, 1,000 of which have
been taken by exporters. In addition to Americans the
sales comprised 6) Pernams and Tarantino', 6j to 8i ; 20
Bahia, 6j ; and 400 Burst, 31 to 41 per lb.

ItLiNcßestna, Burr. 17.—1 n his hi-monthly Overland
Mail Price current for India, published yesterday, Mr. G. F.
Mandley writes During the past few days a panic fear
has overtaken both spinners and merchants. There is
scarcely any business doing, and it is impossible to quote
prices, as there is no business to test them. The buyers for
the Levant, alarmed at the imminence of war, have shrunk
from all new engagements ; the increasing tightness and
advancing value of money have deterred India and China
buyers from operati.ig ; ind the German merchants, who
usually are busy operators at this season, are inactive, ex-
pecting that a considerable fall in prices may probably he
the consequence of the present aspect of affairs. In medio
twist there is no change to report. The demand, notwith-
standing its relatively exorbitant price, still continues very
active, and fully absorbs supply. The high value these
yarns have required almost entirely checks tho export de-
mand, and the production is consumed by the
manufacturers of Scotland and the Yorkshire staff
districts." This state of the market, which was
at the worst perhaps on Wednesday, exists to a con-
siderable extent to-day. We have rather more confidence
but not sufficient to induce operations of any magnitude,
and many tenons who have offered goods declare that there
is no market. The fact is, however, that though buyers
might be found at a sufficient sacrifice sellers are not at
present disposed to part with their goods en such terms
Considerable uneasine►s prevails, but producers are disposed
Ito wait and see whether the present obstacles to business are
likely to be very lasting. In the meantime it mast be con-
gemmed that their difficulties are of no common character.
Pressed on one han,d by the exorbitant and unceasing de-
mands of the operatives for higher wages, whilst all the
charges upon their mills, such as gearing and other articles
of wear and tear, are increased; and suddenly brought up
on the other hand by an almost total cessation of demand
owing to the stringency of the money market, it is not easy
to see any very early prospect of relief, although the general
impression is that trade is sound enough at the core
to withstand the pressure, if it should not prove of long
continuance. One effect of the present difficulty is be-
coming strongly apparent, and that is a disposition to union
among emnl.,yers to ward off the demands of their work-
people, and to resist the attitude of dictation assumed in
many eases. In many quarters it would be mere conve-
nient to stop than go on with their mills at the prices de-
manded by the workpeople ; and hence at Ashton, Stely-
bridge, Ilyde, and Dukinfield, more than 90 employers
have subscribed to a deed of union within a few days to
resist the demands of the operatives. The course taken at
Preston was given in the Erpreas of this day, and at
Manchester a movement of the eperatives is taking place
which may induce the millowners to claw their doors
against 25,010 worlepeople, and which is a course by no
means unlikely to be at once adopted.

WOOLLEN CLOTH.—Lanus, Seri. 17.—There has
been a fair average amount of business done in the cloth
hallo; to day. There have also been several buyers iu town
during the week, but the very critical state of the affairs in
East, along without. own monetary affairs, have some-
what checked purchases. Trade in the warehouses has
consequently wet been so good as of late. Stocks continuo
very ler., and prices do nut show any materiel change.
HARDWARE.—Binst [NG it AM, Seri.. 17.—Trade hero
still continues as brisk as it has been now fur many months,
there being no decline whatever even in such branches
where it is usually first felt. In must of the leading trades
the orders in hand are extremely large, and great difficulty
is still experienced by both factors and merchants in getting
their orders executed. The lamp and chandelier makers,
eleetroplaters, cabinet and general (sunders, edgc-tool
makers, jewellers, sod metal sellers are very full of orders
from all quarters ; so that great as has been the extension
of the old manufactories, and rapid the rise of new ones
within the last two years, at present at least the supply of
goods does not keep pate with the demand. In some trades
there is still a scarcity of workmen, and in all, the artisans
aim wen better off, sad perhaps never were (es-

leept in isolated cases) making more money. The
consignments to Australia still continue to be very
large, and many Birmingham houses have already
established agencies in that prosperous colony. Incidentally
may be mentioned the great sucoess which has attended she
exhibition of the works of the students attending the School
of Design here, the drawings were thrown open for inspec-
tion during three days of the past week, and the number
of persons who visited and examined them reached 11,600 ;
there were composed chiefly of artisans and others, to whom
the inspection of such drawings and models could not fail
to stir op a feeling of emulation, and a desire to receive
instruction in order to produce similar works. Under the
supetiatendentship of Mr. George Wallis, the system cf
tuitiun has been entirely remodelled, and the effect
is to be seen in the numberless drawings, paint-
ings, and models, which filled the rooms. At the
annual meeting of the institution a day or two
since very ftw manufacturers were present ; the importance
of the school does not yet seem to have impressed itself
upon them. The school has 665 students, but 203 appli-
cants wait admission. Allusion is made in the report just
issued to the desirability of starting an elementary school,
to take up the surplus candidates. A rough •calculation
shows some 20,000 individuals engaged directly in manu-
factures into which art enters, and to whom a knowledge of
drawing is essentially necessary. The desire to acquire a
knowledge of drawing, &c., is now ro general, that some
(Mot must be made to supply the want of it.

GLOUCESTER, SEPT 17.—After a week of most unfavour-
able weather for harvest work, and the condition of the
new grain, our farmers obtained 3s. to 41. per qr. more
money for English wheat, and foreign was generally held
tor a similar advance. Barley of all kinds Is. per qr. deem-.

NZWC.tSTLE Cros-TvNE, SEPT. 17.—The weather this
week has been of an un-ettled character, but we have not
had so much rain as in the South, the temperature, how-
ever, has been close and muggy, so that h • t operations
proceed slowly. The potatoo disease, we regret to state, has
appeared in this district, and our letters from Scotland speak
very unfavourably of this esculent. The air is swarming
wit!. insects, which possibly may be the occasion of the
malady with potatoes. The trade during the present week
has assumed a steady aspect, and new wheat being so much
wanted has attracted the most attention, although at the
came time a fair extent of business has been done in old,
the prices obtained for new red being from 645. to 6-50. &1.,
weighing 611bs. to 6211b5. per bushel, whilst old South
Country has sold at all prices ranging between
50s. and 625., the weights running from sllbs. to 611 Es.
per bushel. in foreign little has been done, owing to the
high pretensions of holders. Grinding barley has moved
oil steadily at full rates, whereas malting samples have
been much inquired for. Old malt rather dearer, but in
other articles little change of moment has occurred. At
our market this morning we had a moderate show of wheat
from the growers, but from the coast the arrivals are liberal,
whilst our receipts from abroad exhibit a marked falling off.
Owing to the very excited accounts from Mark-lane and
, ether markets, the trade opened with animation, our
!farmers' supply being early cleared off at an advance of
fully 45., the best red making 649. to 665., and white 6Ge. to
685., whereas old Norfolk weighing MIAs. touched Gls.,
,! new 655. to 665., and old Scotch white, 655. ; all weighed
631bs. In foreign a large business was done, extra Wabren
red commanding 63a. ; Stettin, his. ; two years old Ham-
burg, 615.; and good rune of mixed Dantzie, 655. to GGA. per
qr. 631bs. respectively. Up to to-day we have only had
four samples of new shown by our farmers. Upon flour we
raise our quotations Is. per sack, which advance, however,
is only paid by the needy consumers, the large dealers pre-
ferring to sell out rather than make any increase to their
I stocks. New rye is wanted. Malting barley would sell
readily at our quotations, and so would grinding sorts. Old
I malt is 'carte and in demand. Beans end peas are each
tending upwards, withifew offering. With oats we were
scantily supplied by our growers, and having little cr
nothing coastwise, all descriptions sold more freely than of
hte, but prices can scarcely be written dearer. The arrivals
!this week are : Wheat, coattwise, 3,018 qn. ; foreign, 100.
Itye, coastwise, 4. Barley, coastwise, 8; foreign, 575.
Malt, coastwise' 70. Oats, coastwise, 10; foreign, 20.
Flour, 1685 sacks.

tionwror, SEPT. 17.—At our market to-day there was a
scanty supply of wheat, considering the time of year; con-
dition poor • average scarcely 61.1 be. per bushel. Prices
were considerably advanced at the commencement, and
higher still at the Ore of the market, and Bs. to 10s. per
or. advance was established,7and a good amount of business
transacted, buyers being oetermincd to keep in stock,
chiefly from reports of the Turko-Russian crisis' and a
good deal by the deficient yield, which is now become
a settled fact. Flour was in demand at ss. per qr. advance,
and millers were not disposed to press oaks. Barley trade
has:openediwitb a brisk demand, and higher prices were paid,
40s. to 425., being the price for good! bright dry parcels.
Beans and peas were a smell offer, small demand, and full
prices were paid. Oeta in brisk demand at extreme prices.
Wheat, old, white, 68s. to 70s. per qr. ; old, red, 60s. to
645. ' • new, white, 621. to 685.; new, red, 58s. to 661. ; bar-
ley, grinding, 325. to 335.; malting, 40s. to 425. ; beans, old,
425. to 411.; new, 40s. to 415.; peas, old, 38s. to 311.; new,
3,e. to 40s. ; oats, old, 2.31. to 28s. ; now, 245. to 265. Fine
household flour, 475. per sack f 0.b., purchasers paying
' for sacks, and claiming one month's credit.

PETERBOROUGH, SrrT. 17.—We have had another wick
of the most beautiful weather for the finishing of the har-
vest. At our market to-day the supply of wheat was
much smaller than last week, and for both old and new an
tdtnnce of Is. per giu n. There wu a fair quantity of bar-
ley, and prices were 2s. per qr. higher, best parcels making
401. per qr. Oats is., and old Beans Is. to 2s. per qr.
dearer.

READING, SEPT. 17.-Our supply of Wheat to-day con-
sists mostly of new, and we observe in small quantities; con-
dition of the greater part very indifferent; sellers, however,
demanded more money, and sales were effected on general
runs from 2s. to 3s. advance of last week. Some samples of
new barley sold from 30s. to 430. per qr. Now peas from
40s. to 131. Beans, 425.
Witenuat, SEPr. 17.-We have less old and rather more
new wheat showing here to-day-the condition of the latter
far from good. The value of old wheat must be called le.
to 2s , new 2s. to 3s. per qr. higher than on this day
week. A few samples of new oats offered, which were
bought at Is. per qr. more money. Scarcely anything else
showing. The weather during the week (with the exception
of a heavy shower or two) has been very fine for h t
operations. Prices to the growers: wheat, old, 64e. to 62,.
per qr. ; new, 4s. to Gls.; oats, lld. to Illd. per stone ;
beans, 40s. to 425. per qr.
WORCEBTER, SEPT. 17.-There was a full supply of
English wheat at market to-day, chiefly old, which found
buyers readily at an advance of 2s. to 3s. per qr. Barley of
all kindsfully le. per qr. detrer. Oats rather higher, but
not sufficient to alter our quotations. Beans improved in
vales le. per qr. Peas very scarce.
YORE, SEPT. 17.-Our fanners being still occupied by
harvest work, we had not a large show of wheat at market
to-day, for which an advance of 3s. per qr. was reluctantly
paid. There was a fair quantity of barley, which sold at
from 345. to 38s. per qr., according to quality. No change
in Oats and beans. Fleur has risen 3,. per sack. Wheat,
white, 635. to Os. per qr. imp. ; red, GM. to 625.; barley,
maltiop, 371. to 395. ; do., grinding, 335. to 355. ; malt,
60s. to 6.15. ; eats, 111,1. to Is. per stone of 111bs.; flour, 455.
to 61s. per sack of 28011 e.

KIRKCALDY, Seri. 17.—The weather during the week,
with the exception of Tuesday, which was wet throughout,
has been such that the cutting and carrying of the crop
his been proceeded with daily, although the want of drying
winds has retarded the carrying of much corn that has
bean cut for rome time; the condition of what has been
stacked is only middling. In about another week the crop,
we should think, will bo cut down, and then, if the wea-
ther prove favourable, the full half will be secured. Pota-
toes get worse and worse ; almost every field is seriously
diseased, and in very many not • sound potato is to be
found. At our country markets this week our farmers asked,
and readilykibtained, ls. to 24 per qr. advance un old wheat;
the quality and condition of the few samples of new offer-
ing ciming them to hold the new more firmly. New Barley
still offering sparingly; many anxious buyers at Is. to 2s.
per qr. advance uu last week's ratty. Oats rather dearer.
Hero to-day we had a small rupply of now Barley; sales
quick, at 2s. per qr. over last week's rates. Only a few
parcels of old wheat find old eats at market; the former sold
at 2s. per qr. advance, and the hitter at Is. Wheat, old, 60s.
to 6:11. per qr. Barley, new, 300. to 3Go. aits, old, 229. 6d.
to 265. dd. Oatmeal, per bag of 2501b5., 31s. to 325.

CORK, Sam 16.—We have had a wet and broken week,
but to-day has taken up beautifully line and warm. The
accounts from the country as to the quality and quantity of
the harvest remain unchanged, namely, that some injury
was done by the heavy rain wlrch fell at a critical period
list month, causing a serious suspension of out-door work,
but that, on the whole, the harvest has been favourable.
Potatoes come to market in great abundance, and an of
excellent quality, farmers in those districts when the ,

blight was seriously felt being, of course, antions to
dispose of the sound portion of them as speedily as pos-
sible. Native wheat is 2s. to 2s. Gd. dearer. We quote
good white, 30e. to 31s. 3d.; red, 28s. Gd. to 291.6 d. Foreign
wheat was a slow dull sale in the early part of the week at
prices in favour of buyers. Yesterday the depression was
recovered, and a large business done at full prices-Maria-
nople, 345. ; Ghirks, 32a. 6d. to 335. ; Odessa, 325.; Galata,
30s. ; Egyptian, 255. Indian cern also commands attention
at en advance of 2s. 6d., with but few sellers as the
advice& is town from Mark Lane state that 20 cargoes of
Indian maize have been taken by a French buyer for the
Continent at is. per qr. advance, and at this advance
more buyers than sellers. Barley scarco and wanted by
out distillers, who pay los. 6d. to 16s. for prime, and
14s. Gd. for bere. Oats in good demand for the Chan-
nel ports ; white sells raw at lls. 6d. to 12a. 4d. ; black,
10s. Gd. to 10s. 9d. Flour remains firm. Oatmeal in de-
mand at former quotations. Indian meal 2s. 61 dearer.
The receipts of native produce to the corn market
during the week have been : Wheat, 1,049 barrels, at 2.55. 6d.
to 31s. per barrel ; barley, 565, at 13s. 7d. to 15s. 2d. ;
oats, .5500, at 10s. 4d. to 12s. 9.1. And the receints to this
day's market have been: Wheat, 228 barrels at 28s. 6d. to
31s. Gd. per barrel; barley, 130, at 15s. Od. to 151. Bd.;
oats, 1,206, at 10s. Od. to 10s. 81.

Drauw, SEPT. 16.—Its con.equence of renewed ad-
vances in the English markets, and the numerous reports of
extensive failure in the potato crops, our market to-day was
extremely excited ; for foreign wheats an advance of 2s. to
2s. 61. was realised on a few transactioas. The samples of
Indian corn, which are now in very few bands, were alto-
gether withdrawn ; new grain met a brisk demand, at
an advance of 3d. on oats, and 6d. to Is. on barley.
Wheat, old, 265. to 325.; uew ditto, 28.. to 335.; bar-
ley, new, 16.. to 18s. 61. ; here, new, 13.. 61 to 14s. 91 ;
oat., old, Ils. to 145.; oat., new white, lls. 6d. to
12s. 91. ; ditto, tawny, 10s. 6d. to lls. Gd. ; rapeseed, 265.
to 28.. 641. ; oatmeal, lls. to I3s. ; bakers' flour, 17s. W.
to 28s. 6d.

WATERFORD, SEPT. 17.—The weather this week
has on the whole been very favourable for the country,
and the bulk of the crops around here is now se-
cured. Our imports of grain since this day se'nnight are
larger than for many weeks past; from farmers we have
had more liberal supplies of wheat and oats; prices, how-
ever, continue to advance, and we note foreign
wheat dearer by Is., and Irish by Is. 6d. per barrel.
Oats command an advance of 2d. to 3d. per barrel. Barley,
of which which we had a fair delivery this morning,
brought Is. per qr. over lest week's currency. Indian Corn
has been in active request the past few days, and some
large sales of Blatk Sea qualities have been made to specu-
lators at an imprc.vemeut of Is. to ls. Gd. per barrel. Se-
condary and inferior descriptions can only be quoted the
turn dearer. Flour is firmly held for an advance of Gd. to
Is. per sack. Imports this week : Wheat, 3,411 qrs. ;
Corn. 4,360. Exports this week : Oats, 6,732 barrels ;
Flour, 1,993 sacks; Indian Corn, 800 barrels; Oatmeal,
170 cwta.
